Also worth the work - the raised beds are so much easier to work with once completed, compared to in-ground. I might regret using untreated lumber. I do not want toxic chemicals so my thought is if they rot in a few years, I'll compost them and replace them. So far the soil is free although the compost I'm mixing with it is not. I get that at a recycling center by the truckload.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-70658733271851709472012-12-30T18:35:16.516-08:002012-12-30T18:35:16.516-08:00Awesome plan.

We just finalized our front & back garden plans using the "whiteboard & dry-erase marker" technique. <br /><br />http://barefoot-squarefoot.blogspot.ca/p/plans-for-2013_25.html<br /><br />I love your raised beds. I looked into building some myself but new wood seemed ridiculously expensive(more than the soil to fill them). Is wood cheap in Washington or did you just decide it was worth the expense?
