I have just ordered a raised bed from http://www.woodblocx.co.uk. The chap was really helpful and sent me a free sample box in the post upon request. The Wood is good quality but the only thing I am thinking about is how easy it is to build with.

Has anyone built a raised bed or planter with WoodblocX do I need to get a builder in to help me?

Afternoon Bob, i've never used them but, i would think the most important thing with them, will be to start with a level base so everything lines up.

Good luck, Bob the WoodblocX Builder.

I have some beds boxed, but now I make my new raised beds without boxes then I can plant the sloping sides as well as the tops, mulched with straw/ dried plants/ and non seeding weeds the rain doesn't wash the soil away and I plant through the mulch, it helps keep moisture in during drought too, and because the soil is moist any weeds that get past the mulch pull out very easily.

Thanks very much guys. I didnt get an email to let me know you had replied!

I have ticked the box now.

I will let you know how I get on with by BlocX
