 Great thing about them is they don't look bad, are strong, and last
 a loooong time.  Plus, the bit previously mentioned about planting
 in the holes. 
 
 I'd also point out that one needn't use the 8x8x16 blocks; there
 also exist 4x8x16 blocks in both solid and hollowed-out forms.  The
 solid ones look better, too.

Ok this is probably dumb question time...BUT...
a.  How do you keep them from moving(if you have them more than one block
deep)
                we want to have the bed least 2 blocks high due to having bad
backs
b.   Do you fill the holes ALL the way down with soilmix..or do you stuff the
holes  
                  with something else(assuming we want to plant in the holes)
We are hoping to move later this year so the info will help up start planning
after we move for NEXT year's garden...this year we will make do with our old
2x10 board beds..they have lasted 4years and still look great..and no they
were not treated  ;-)
