When we first moved onto our 7.5 acre property, I wanted to use our own logs to make raised veggie beds. Instead of using all cedar, some pine got used , and 8 years later, the beds were rotting away. We decided to go .Vego beds, as they are more permanent. We have replaced 10 of the original beds, and are so pleased with the new beds. Of course, we are coming into winter, now, so we won’t see any real results for a few months, but I am looking forward to a successful and easy to work with garden.
