    We decided on 6 x 1 and we had it delivered last week and started on the beds today - first one is up just needs some plastic inside and then filling - my dad had some old oak fence posts so we used these for the corners

    final size is 4m x 1.2m

        Just a quick progress update - Weve got the first 3 beds up now and lined one with plastic sheet (ran out of staples )

        Bed 4 will go in later when the greenhouse is up - the slabs for the greenhouse floor are where its going and I arnt moving 3x2 slabs twice
