Greetings,
 I have had the Sq foot gardening book for  few years and have only been
dreaming of using this technique.  We
live in Middle Georgia I am not sure of my zone.  I have HOT summers and
some freezing in the winter.  I would
like to know how to start.  What kind of wood do I use to make the 4x4
sq raised beds?  We have clay here in
GA, thus I am planing on making the soil Mel tells us about in the
book.  thanks and I am happy to have found this
list.

   I have used 1*6 rough cut lumber.  You could use most any scrap
lumber no thinner than 1 inch.  Try to make them 1 ft. deep at least as
with your clay soil you may need that depth.

   You could see an example in my garden pictures at the place listed
below.
