Choosing the materials for the frames.
It took a lot of research to decide on the perfect material for the frames of our raised beds. Plain wood attracts termites and other bugs and will rot in a season or two. Railroad ties have creosote, which is a poison. Composite decking materials contain wood fiber and attract mold when in constant contact with soil. It can be cleaned, but it is difficult.
Three designs are available, a standard 3’x8′ bed, and a 3’x8′ trellis bed and a new 3’x4′ elevated bed. (Dimensions are outside measurements.)
We now offer the trellis and raised bed kits with a food-grade organic stain applied!
