        I have a back injury and use raised beds. I mad them a little longer
than the length of my lower leg, so that when I kneel down I have room
to move round a little. Mine are a foot high so this makes it very easy
to work in when kneeling. I also make them a llittle different in lenght
and width (6'X3') so that I can reach the middle easier.

        Sure! I end up testing all 5 of my beds individually becuse of this.
