Excellent idea. I moved into a new house in a newly built up area. Full of voles and moles. They ate all my veggies! I think raising the garden out of their reach seems like a good idea. I hope these little critters can't climb !

Also was the wood expensive?

Are those the large or the medium tubs?

@ILkaterlyn The tubs aren't above the Gardenrack where sun would get to them and bake them. You can also use perforated landscape fabric as a liner. Drainage is taken care of by drilling 9 holes in the bottom of each tub and then laying down an inch thick layer of pea gravel before filling with soil.

How do you know there isn't thalide or something bad in the black tubs. I planted seedlings in them this year, but what about drainage?
sorry for all the questions lol Also what are the sizes? I see you have 4x4 and then are those 2x4 or 2x6

@Pixyfun Hi. You get the answers to all of your questions by going to the GardenRack website and ordering the plans, instructions and two free ebooks.

That's nice! That would be great for my mother in law. She's elderly, and can't really bend low and she misses gardening. ;) thanks for sharing!

@ILkaterlyn The plastic in the tubs is low density polyethelene (LDPE) -- the same thing plastic food containers, plastic wrap, and juice and milk cartons are made from. According to Green Living, LDPE is safe and not known to leach any chemicals that are known to be carcinogens.
