I've just prepared 3 beds in the back garden for raising up.
They're 6ft by 3ft and the boards I'll be using are 6 inches high.
Do I need to fix them into the ground with corner posts, and if so to what depth (on average?).
And would it be easier to fix stakes/posts to the boards first and then push/tap the frame in to the soil once built.
The alternative option seems to be 'knock a post in, attach a board to it, line it up & knock another post in and so on' until the frame is built.
Can anyone with experience of building raised beds help me make my mind up here
Thanks
