I think you will find the effort involved in creating your raised beds
well worthwhile. I have made mine higher than most (3 feet) as I
cannot reach ground level. I echo Sally's advice about making sure you
can easily reach the middle and would add that you should make sure
you have a sound path all the way round. It has made life so much
easier that I wonder why I didn't make some raised beds when I was
able bodied! If I can get suitable materials and a little help with
the labour I shall certainly make some more next year.
