@switch55 My beds are made of 2x6es and my tomatoes are ok (I get plenty of tomatoes to suit me, "ok" is certainly a relative term. I think you should allow your wallet to make the final decision for you. Just don't try 2x4's I think that would be too shallow.

BRACKETS! OMG, ok I am not a builder/carpenter/know a darn thing about carpentry, I built the corners of my raised bed gardens with 2x4' beams cut into about 2 ft pieces. I wanted 4x4's but the hardware store cant cut them. So, I have 4 staircased 4x4 raised beds connected with the beams
My next raised beds will be much better made with brackets. My first ones are still awesome though,. Thanks for the vid.

I'm looking to move potatoes out of the garden and onto the lawn in one of these. In addition ot the middle cross support what else would you do in order to make a double decker model or triple decker model in order to expand upward and keep burrying the potatoes as they grow?

@scottj719 instead of making this a double or triple high bed, i use chicken wire to hill the potatoes. we have a how to hill potatoes video on our YouTube Channel, if you click on our channel link above ' erochow ' and search for potatoes on the channel page you will see it. thanks, eric - GardenFork
