Hi, Kathie!
Two problems we had with our raised beds: First, I conceived a neat design
where the beds were oriented in different directions. BAD! Mowing between
them took forever! So after a year I tore them all apart to give the mover
straight shots between inline rows. Second, GOPHERS came up and made mounds
inside the beds. So now our new beds have a chickenwire gopher guard
underneath. I held my side boards in place with driven 1x2x24 stakes, a
minor
problem when mowing because you have to clear the stakes, and THAT leaves a
narrow strip of grass to clear with the weed whacker. So far, i'm just
living
with that!

My husband is about to build some 4' x 8' beds for me out of landscape
timbers
for starting perennials & hostas. Can anybody give me any advice on how to
keep
the weeds down between the beds? Any other advice on this subject? I would
appreciate any pointers before we start. Thanks.
Katherine
