What has always worked for me, is to make up a timber frame to length
and breadth you want it to be, but it MUST be at least 700mm high. The
fly does not fly above that.



Wot 'e said and use seed-tapes so that you don't need to thin.


Ah! I see what you mean. But a raised bed 700mm high? I don't know how that
can be done with the cost of the thing.
I always thought of raised beds as 300mm max.(due to the cost)
