Why not just use stone? Heavy, but permanent. In case that's too physically challenging, starving college students are pretty cheap. Maybe you could even trade labor for future produce. Stone would be lovely, but is way too costly. Even cement blocks would be lovely and we may go with cement blocks. Costly but permanent. And I can plant herbs/flowers in the holes. This would be my first choice, actually. Pat Go with cinder blocks, lighter weight and cheaper than concrete blocks and hold up just as well. My main raised bed garden is made with cinder blocks and has been there thirteen years. I saw some half size cinder blocks in a Lowe's store recently. Eight inches high by sixteen inches long by four inches wide. Look ideal to put up against a fence or house slab when making a raised flower bed. George |
