Re: Raised beds and bed borders

Mel's beds aren't raised, but some people need raised beds because of soil
conditions or drainage problems that are easier to fix with raised beds
than by amending the soil for years. I have ok soil without raised beds,
but after a few years of gardening the beds have raised themselves, plus we
made some instant beds by building forms and throwing in some top soil and
compost, etc. I love my raised beds because I don't have to bend as far so
weeding and harvesting is easier.
