Wayne and Erika Pfeiler

We built a small raised bed this weekend, about 4 feet square, 8 inches high. It's beside the shed in the back yard, where the old tree used to be. Erika's already planted a few seeds to get it going. We'll put some pictures of it on here soon. I used cedar boards screwed into four 1" square posts driven into the ground. The posts are made of that gray recycled plastic material some people use to make decks. Supposedly, these materials are safer to use if we plan to grow vegetables or anything we'll eat in there. Pressure treated wood is supposed to leach semi-dangerous chemicals into the soil, at least according to the gardening book we have :)
