Battle Of The Beds: Metal Vs. Wood - Which Is Best For Your Garden?

[@cherylnorise57]

Thank you for demonstrating how to put it together. It looks nice. Very nice. This winter I think I'm going to plan out my floor plan a lot different. I'm mostly in ground 20x20 with grow bags going around it. That's in the center of my yard. I enjoy you showing how easy things are to achieve if you just do it. Have an awesome day

HEY Cheryl!!!! I appreciate it. I'm mostly inground as well. Yes, planning is the way to go for sure

Looks beautiful. The color goes great with your home. I have the vegega heart shape raised bed in the same color.

HEY Shelly!!! Thanks. Cool, I was thinking about getting the heart-shaped one.

Thanks brother, that looks great. I hope this isn’t a stupid question as I was planning on buying some of those metalraised beds, but I thought they came with a bottom.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

You are welcome brother, thanks. Of course, it's not a stupid question. Most of them do not have a bottom to it. There may be a few with a bottom. The advantage of not having a bottom is great drainage so the plants don't get waterlogged. The roots get more air to circulate around them as well. If you do get one with a closed bottom I would drill holes in it for drainage.

These beds are too expensive we are npt millionaires

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Hope, I thought that in the beginning about cost. I am not close to being a millionaire. The wood prices are high and they don't last. I have made beds over and over. To me, I have paid more for redoing beds. I am going to get one per season to replace my beds. I am buying my dad one so I can plant his sugarcane in it. The good news for me is that I am not replacing beds for 3 or 4 years after I get that one set up.
