I always look back on some gardening project that I've done and wonder if I could have constructed it or grown it better. Great advice though! At least we can teach from our mistakes right?!Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-6449594430893270242010-03-17T10:39:15.316-04:002010-03-17T10:39:15.316-04:00Life would be so much easier if shit didn't ha...Life would be so much easier if shit didn't happen :-) I used untreated 2x8 lumber for my beds. They stay pretty stable but do slightly warp as well.

I might do it trying to fight powdery mildew this summer.

With all these rains we have been having, it remains to be seen if they will suffer any damage once they start drying out. The problems we have with the raised beds sure are worth it though when they are working!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-23680826007100189892010-03-16T08:20:27.122-04:002010-03-16T08:20:27.122-04:00Mine are all 1" boards too, but this is only ...Mine are all 1" boards too, but this is only my second season and they are fastened together differently. Last year we could not find any 2" cedar, this year we found it, but not for the garden depth I was after.<br /><br />Sorry to see your beds are giving you such trouble!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-75097690417690485042010-03-16T08:03:32.857-04:002010-03-16T08:03:32.857-04:00One of my 2x3s that I used for my trellis support ...One of my 2x3s that I used for my trellis support has twisted almost 90 degrees and will need to be replaced.
