One of the nicer pictures I've seen is at the homepage of one of the originals of square ft gardening, Mel Bartholomew. www.squarefootgardening.com It looks like vinyl fencing material to me.

Hello fellow CH'ers! We moved into a small community of new homes recently and I'm dying without a garden. I need to come up with something tasteful and not 'offensive' to the non-gardeners that I'm sure are all around me. I'm thinking of building a small raised bed garden, maybe 8'x8' or possibly 12'x12'. Does anyone have any experiences about building one or web sites used in your own research to do so that you'd be willing to share. Note: I'm not interested in soil mixes, etc, just the construction of a raised bed garden. thx, -Jeff Porter Downingtown, PA USA
