As you noted the bags are about the cheapest part of the exercise ,
but a free alternative can be the bags that builders materials are
delivered in. They are often designated one use for safety reasons
after craning them off delivery vehicles so many can be found
around builders sites ready to be dumped and free for the asking.
For raised bed use you need to roll the sides down ,as they come they
make excellent bags for garden rubbish ,compost and making leaf mould
in.

Or growing potatoes in


I've successfully grown potatoes in the big blue Ikea
"frakta" bags, 40p each.
