That looks great Jimmy. A full height raised bed, good for the old back. How many more are you going to make?

[jimmyh1988]

umm well not sure i'll make one that big again its about 8ft long by 3 ft across lol but maybe another 2 raised beds and i still gotta build a hen house also ;-) thanks for the reply also rosey ;-)

Thats fab, much better than my effort. Mine got dismantled to make room for a chicken run, and was then recycled into a perch.

Great raised bed, Jimmy. your back will certainly appreciate it!

You do know another 2 won't be enough - when you get started you'll want more and more

Looks fantastic!Have you filled it and got anything growing in it yet?

I'm all for raised beds and the no dig method due entirly to a chronic back condition but assuming the boards ot be 6" each I would think it would be better to chop the one made in three so each one is 2 boards high and not 6 but each to their own as well so great job jimmy.
My deep beds [ which my darling wife made ] are 1x 8" board deep for 2 of them but one now is 2 boards deep so that one is 16" deep.

no m8 you point is a valid one and on a second look after i made it the other day its to big so i will be splitting it in 2 i rekon but thank you for all your kind comments it may even get turned into a chicken house only needs a few mods and they could move in lol
