That looks fantastic! What did you use for the grid?

THANKS! It's just 2x6's of untreated wood and some lattice. But the guys at home depot told me that cause I was sinking the 'raised beds', no wood in the world was gonna last me over two years in our climate. So, (all 100% organic people hide your eyes) they sold me a $9 bucket of roof sealer. It's not water soluble, won't leech, has no smell, and is approved for use in ponds and planters. I thought, hey, if it won't kill FISH, it's not gonna kill me by leeching into my chives, hello? HA! Anyway, I could sink those babies to the bottom of the ocean now, if I wanted. And besides, I really like the black. ;)

That is indeed a very slick look. I like the black as well. I don't think you would have a problem with the roof sealer leeching, but I am no expert.

THANKS! I think everyone thought I was nuts before I got it put together. "You're doing WHAT???" But, now that it's done, they all say, "Oooo, it looks so Japanese." The only problem is that the three deep one is against that wall, so I had to make a couple of short lattice pieces twistable, so I could lay a board across to stand on and tend the back rows.
