I have some weedy vegetable patches I would like to replace with raised beds, for neatness and ease of weed control.
Not sure where to start! I have no woodworking skills but am generally pretty practical. Should I buy kits (eg these) or is it actually really simple and much cheaper to buy wood and make my own from scratch?
And what do I fill them with? I have a massive garden so it seems like there ought to be some soil to spare somewhere, but would it be much easier to buy topsoil so it can be guaranteed weed free? Or is that stupidly expensive?
Thanks!
