I am trying to find a kit for a raised garden bed. Any suggestions on what to look for or companies to go with.
Any other suggestions regarding this endeavor would be great. The bed I'm ideally looking for is 4 feet by 2 feet.
No, I don't want to buy the lumber and tools. I would prefer to find a company that sells a kit.
I know that it would be cheaper to make it myself but I really don't want to. I want to find a company that sends the wood, metal posts to me.
I'm also looking for suggestions on appropriate bed height. Most are 11 inches but other people have strongly suggested on at least 16 inches. I'm going to use mine to grow veggies and I will be putting it on existing workable soil so there will be room to grow deeper than the bed. Thoughts?
Here is a place but unless they offer free shipping it would be cheaper to buy the tools and the lumber shipping wood is costly.
Good News they offer FREE SHIPPING!
