I go back in the woods behind the house and cut small
cedars and make poles . I notch them like you would a
log cabin and stack them about 3 high depending on how
big they are and how deep I want the bed . I know
if you dont have access to the cedar trees this wont
help you much , but I thought I'd pass it along . By
the way they last for many years. Happy Gardening .
