We've had a few people ask us about how we built our raised beds. We would be a stretch since I didn't actually do any of the work. My input in this was limited to sharing my wish list. 1- to have it raised to about knee height so there wouldn't be so much bending over. 2 - to have the ability to reach to the center of whatever space we created. Ultimately this meant creating a path through the middle of the raised bed. I love the result, but it meant a lot more work for my husband who actually built it.
Our beds are in the front/side yard of our house. Ideally I wanted them around back, but it turns out this was the sunny spot and as a bonus, it is right outside our kitchen window. It is also a place where we have good drainage. Honestly, the vegetables will get much better attention where they are since we walk by them when we come into the house and I see them every time I am in front of our kitchen sink.
