I like them just like this. I don't like the low ones. Thanks it looks great
-
The last raised beds made from cedar I used only lasted one year before needing to be replaced.
-
This really so good looking raised beds worth to show, and the plants in side, gives not only food growing but very easy planting and easy weeding, or maybe no weeds grows on such. I see it as something what a gardener can share to others, thanks.

England does not have health standards or care if their people get sick from chemicals. So bizarre - what a country . . . blahhhh
-
What goes on the bottom of the bed? Do you put down tarp, plastic or let it be just the dirt?
-
Great job :) try on rattanart.co.uk for more awesome garden stuff :)

Take the cotton out of your ears.

your voice is too soft, I can't hear you.

That is true, however, cost wise it is usually five times as much as treated lumber or cedar and is more hard labor to install.
-
plant diseases are certainly not spread by the bacteria on your shoe. 8 times out of 10 plants get diseases when they are weakened due to depleted or eroded soil
-
these are fantastic and ig higher can be used for those in wheelchairs, elderly arthritic conditions too. the pleasure of food and flower production should not be underestimated - it can make the difference between a happier life or sinking into depression.

Will you show us a video of you ringing out some newly pressurised timber and drinking the juice? I hope you dont, it would be foolish. John frum Copper is just another element? You fool, so is lead, arsenic, plutonium etc. Please dont advise people unless you are qualified to do so.

I am also a Carpenter. Dont use these without lining it first with a food grade liner, ie pvc pond liner. Its not that expensive, but probably cheaper to use cedar in the first place. Google pressure treated timber to see the chemicals used in treating timber.

There's nothing wrong with using today's pressure treated wood - unless your a paranoid hypochondriac. Copper us used as a fungicide in gardening - there's nothing wrong with it. Copper is just another element - it is not a 'chemical' as the nutters use the word. Copper is a trace element, needed by plants, for God's sake. A deficiency of copper will cause plants to wilt. And the 'carpenter' guy in the top comment - I seriously doubt a real carpenter would be that dumb.
-
Arsenic (CCA) treated wood was phased out. Studies showed that some of the arsenic in CCA treated wood can leach into soil, and that appears to be the basis for gardners avoiding treated wood of any kind to this day. Treated wood now uses copper compounds and/or fungicides. USDA studies have suggested that this is safe for use in vegetable gardens. So, if you're more concerned about the sustainability of using cedar or redwood then treated wood is a good alternative for your vegetable garden.
-
Can't be underlined enough. DO NOT use pressure treated lumber in vegetable gardens.
-
I know, right?
-
Beautiful beds. Terrible audio. Would never use pressure treated wood regardless of whether it was old or new...really why take a chance?
-
yeah i heard that too. unless they are treating it with something different than the usual pressure treatment chemicals or arsenic, copper, and heavy metals this stuff is toxic and who wants to eat plants that have grown up in something like that ?
