>>445178I live near Chicago and was thinking about putting in a dozen 8'x4' raised beds in the spring. But now that I think about it, it seems expensive and not really worth it. They do look nice though.
Mostly, I don't want to trim the grass that will grow tall on the sides. I could mulch around them, but I don't want to bother. I'm just going to stick with the ground, maybe mound it up some. I've got a ~cubic yard of compost I've been aging for quite sometime, can't wait for spring.
