Re: best edging for raised beds


Hello, Melissa.  Thanks for the advice, but isn't 1" material a little 
thin for holding in dirt for several (many, I hope) years?  My husband 
always knew these things and built for me so that I didn't have to know 
them.  To answer your question, I moved here last fall from Kimberly, 
about 65 miles northwest of John Day.  Since my daughter lives in Plano, 
north of Dallas, I moved closer to her as I couldn't maintain our ranch 
alone.  Every fall, for many years, we had hunters from Eugene---a man and 
his two sons---during deer and elk seasons.  You didn't say where you live 
in Texas.
