never use that membrain CRAP..
im having to rip a shitload up out of my nans garden at the moment, its KILLED the earth underneathe it, and hasnt stopped any weeds as they are happy to grow on top of it anyway.. dont use it.

@ziggyhuys no rot - the wood is treated, and the soil is sitting in polythene and not in direct contact with the soil. Rekon these will be good for at least 5 years.

@rickvanman Have you had any rot problems?And if so how did oyu solve them?
Many thanks for all that you've thought me so far Rick, keep it up!

@rickvanman Hi Rick, first of all I'm thanking you for sharing all this usefulli nformation with us, I'm planning on my own small starter microgarden.What I was wondering about your raised bed garden plan is how one can prevent rot to the soil with it being "sealed" from the air, shouldn't one add some kind of drainage system or holes in the bottom with a flow-off even?

Rick Your quite an amazing person, thanks for sharing this video with us. I will be making a organic garden for my family soon and your ideas are fantastic.

with a router you could have done some duck tails and lego the pieces of wood, but I have OCD. :O)

would a raised bed of 1' deep x 2' wide x 5' in length be plenty for a tomatoe gared?

@gjimarez2 Tomato grow bags are much shallower than that, and tomatoes thrive in them, so I don't see why not.

Hi - Useful video. I am going to make a couple of similar beds for my patio. Just wondering why you put rubble bags in - won't that prevent the bed from draining? Do they go on top of the polythene?
thanks

Hi.
The lining of the beds is to prevent the treated wood from touching against the soil and leaching chemicals into it (not good if you are growing food to eat). It should also help the wood to last longer without rotting.
You need to drill holes in the plastic and base to ensure good drainage.
