RE: Raised Bed Materials

**&* <u*@comcast.net>**

For recycled lumbers, I know that the Missouri Botanic Gardens in St. Louis
had a part of their program that took old pots and made lumbers from them.
The cost was 9.60 (near the cost of wood--without freight though) per 2 x 8.
The problem is they were 1/2 sold out of this years supply when I was there
in Feb. I forget what department that was doing it though. They seemed very
durable and it is definitely something we are looking into for next year.

My tried and true source here in Connecticut has gone out of business, but
if you Google up ""recycled plastic landscape timbers," you will get lots of
options, maybe one near you.  Sorry I can't recommend anything specific.
Good luck

My Master Gardener group is planning a public garden with raised beds.  I
remember someone
writing about recycled plastic "lumber" for raised beds.  Any further
information,
especially sources, and any recommendations, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jody
