Raised Beds

[FLYING]

I would like to know what your raised beds are made of. We are going to build some in the next couple weeks and I would like any information on what has worked for you... what you like, what you don't like, and any problems you have had with them.

Thanks for your help!

I followed Mel Bartholomew's guildlines in Square Foot Gardening.

So mine are made out of 2x6's. I think the wood was fir or cedar, I don't remember. Just real basic. Four pieces of wood put together to make a 4x4 box. Here is a thread with more info on square foot gardening. His book is great!
