You do know you don't have to use wood don't you?

lol I'm an advocate of lazy beds. They're just no dig beds raised about a foot by digging out soil from the paths and putting it on the beds. If you like really well defined edges to things and 90degree corners, you won't like them, but they suit me perfectly. They are easier to get rid of for a season too, when you want to plant a large area with potatoes for example. (They're not too easy to manage in either raised or lazy beds.)
