How do I build a raised garden that will last?
I'm not sure what the of materials to use but wanted the garden high enough to save my back and able to plant easily. I also wanted to have a removeable cover that I could walk under between the planters to tend the plants. The cover would protect from late cold fronts and harsh wind and rain storms. Area for the planters is not an issue. I have ideas but not sure if they would work as I have never built planters. Please help.
