Does anyone have any idea where to come by some scaffold boards for raised beds. I have tried the obvious places like freecycle etc.

Have you tried local Scaffold companies who may have some old boards that no longer meet H & S standards but are ideal for us gardeners?

This is what I did - just phoned around local companies asking if they ever got rid of old boards. The first company said they just kept cutting them down to usable sizes, but to try some of the larger companies who might not be bothered with that. Second phone call then got me a load. They delivered them for free (and I gave them some beer!)

Phoned my local company, I think they realise theres an income stream there as they charge £7 per 13ft board. Do folk think this is expensive?
