Answered

I have had four back surgeries,making it hard to bend to garden. I tried container gardening, which is good, but higher beds would be great.

Hello Patty,

I understand your concern ...our backs protest greatly as we age and by having multiple surgical interventions -we need to preserve and protect the function we have.

This link might be helpful - it even mentions an elevated bed accommodating a wheel chair bound gardener. Its in the types of beds tab to the left. I hope this helps!
