	Well, as much as I hate to admit it (while standing out among my lovely
foot high boxed beds), this is probably true. I have spent half the day
trying to find ways to justify my continued use of lumber. Now for me, with
my physical problems, maybe there is a reason to have some height. But the
real reason I started with boxes was to avoid nematodes, and since I am
dealing with them anyway, why buy wood?
	But for now, since they are already built, and since it is so nice to have
the soil at arms length while seated on my garden stool, I will have to
spend hours and days trying to recapture my innocent acceptance of the
inherent benefit of raised, boxed beds. Thanks.
