We just installed 5 galvanized steel raised beds in our garden area and am looking forward to reaping a harvest of veggies.
Glad to see your gardening thread.
I’ve got a couple of galvanized metal raised beds, but out here in the desert raised beds are less than optimal. In addition to needing a whole lot of water (and occasional shade), they attract mesquite roots like a magnet. Any tree in the area sends out miles of fine roots that soon choke the bed. If I’d known, I would’ve put down an impenetrable barrier. (I still may, but it would be a lot of work.) I’ve since learned that lowered beds are far more efficient in our climate, so I’ve dug and refilled with soil and amendments a small one as an experiment.
I have always loved the look of those!
