just finished putting these beds in this morning, only 4 small ones but they will be put to good use in the coming years. All made from recycled materials. I just need to fill them up now with some soil/compost and get some salad stuff going.

If you furtle too much you'll go blind.   Nice job on the beds by the way.

What size did you make them?  We put our first two raised bed in at the beginning of May, but I NEED more   

Our garden is very long, but with two huge apple trees, a pond, 3 sheds and grape vines over the patio, there's not a huge amount of room for veggie beds.  Yours look to be a good size for my garden!

Hi m8...theyre only small at 4' x 3' 6" but i reckon they would be very managble. Theyre actually part of old packing cases that i got from a m8. Theres a topic here on it http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=36134.0 but ignore the size i put as that was before i measured them. If you read through the topic theyre actually for sale but i think its in new zealand.

Thanks - I'll show that one to DH

These are also known as 'pallet collars'. I use them for my beds too. You can take out a corner pin and then join two up together to make a double sized bed. They also come in varying heights. Any factory/plant type business that uses pallets for stacking stock onto will use these collars! Try ringing a few work yards up and asking if they have any spare or damaged collars - most likely they will be more than happy for you to take them for free.
