Your question regarding raised gardening is cut off. What is your question?
love'em. can be made of wood, concrete block, or containers like 5 gallon buckets. or livestock water tanks, galvanized wash tubs.. you need to decide just how much garden you want. what do you eat veggie wise, how much. plan to home can? etc. you will need a soil mix/potting mix to help with drainage. and you will need to fertilize.
veggie plants need 6 to 8 hours of sun. there are potting mix recipes out on the internet.
You can raise a garden in lots of ways. Railroad ties, 2x6 planks, bricks. Endless ideas. make sure you secure it with steaks pounded in the ground and mix top soil and peat moss.
A hard plastic swimming pool is a fun way. Just remember to put holes in the sides Not the bottom for drainage.
