I'm a 71 year old woman new to gardening and ordered two of these 17" raised beds. I got some 18 year old boys to put them today. They remarked on how many bolts there were. They dug out just a little larger than the beds, put them where I wanted to optimum sun. Already, I have tomatoes ripening, an orange pepper growing, with squash, eggplant and cucumbers on the way. Once the bed is halfway filled, there is no way to move it - it is super sturdy. I used the Hugulkultur method with Kevin and Mark's advice so hopefully, they will thrive. I'm on 3 weeks vacation out of the country but left my sister in charge with explicit instructions. So excited to see veggies growing. And the bees have started to come
