Have a very large garden. Started adding raised beds 3 years ago. This year wanted to add more (getting older so hopefullythese will be a littleeasierto work). Decided to go with galvanized steel so they would last longer. Using old decaying logs to fill the bottom, then added a layer of straw from my straw bale garden and finished with a layer of soil for 2 of the raised beds. I am composting grass clippings and leaves this winter to help fill in the rest of the beds for spring. Super excited to be using a natural way to create soil and save money. Biggest challenge is maintaining the compost pile so it will breakdown properly.
