raised beds

Post: # 236469Post MEL78 »

I know that it goes against the grain on here to bu things when they can be made but does anyone have any opinions on bought raised beds (I know I prob should try to make one myself but don't hold out much hope for them being any use) have found soem on greenfingers 1m by 1m 18.99 that look ok...any thoughts...

They're actually very easy to make yourself. However, if you're thinking of buying, then the larger rectangular raised bed from Greenfingers (further down the page) at £24.99 offers much better value.
