Raised Bed Kit - £22.95

The ideal way to create an easy to manage bed system for growing your own. Raised beds are free-draining, easily accessed, early warming and particularly useful to help you get better results on poor soils, so we've been told.  Raised BedThey are good for both veg or flowers too.

The unique Link-a-bord system consists of rigid double skinned, recycled UPVC boards, plus linking sections and fastening dowels that can be made up into beds of varying sizes and heights to suit your needs. The boards won't fade or rot, and can be easily dismantled and moved if necessary (though not if you're planning a party and you've already planted it up!).

The double skin construction provides good insulation to help maintain a stable soil temperature. Each board is 1m (39") long x 15cm (6") high. They slot together easily using corner or straight links and securing dowels to peg them to the ground, or join them vertically to form a double height bed. Use as separate 1 metre square beds, or add extension kits to make longer beds. The single raised bed kit comprises 4 boards, 4 corner links, 8 dowels.
