Brick raised beds
I have one raised bed but am struggling to get untreated wood for another one.
I have looked in B & Q and them have the wood. But I have no way of getting it home.
I have a brick wall that I have taken down in my garden. I assume that there is no problem with me making a raised bed from the bricks. I assume that I would have to use cement to keep them all together.
Thanks in advance.

I did one a couple of years ago .
Started with a shallow tench to define the area. Then flooded the trench with concrete,
I had stuck iron rods sticking up from the trench to the correct height ,. This meant the foundations were level.
Not as difficult as I have described, and made the brick laying very easy .0
