[quote=Anonymous]You can use crappy wood (even pressure treated), but you'll just want to line it before adding the dirt. Just so chemicals aren't leeching into the soil and your veggies/plants. A few years ago I built my own, using 2x4s and it was great. I made it 12" high (bc, lazy), which worked well for what I was growing. If you want to grow potatoes or something you may need it higher or dig into the ground below to allow space. A major plus (imo) of these, rather than the new garden box on legs that I got for my porch, is that you can leave things in over the winter. You can grow garlic or perennial items (i had onions that kept coming back). I ripped mine out so we could get more lawn in my small backyard, but I don't like my current box as much as the raised beds I used to have. [/quote]
