    HI MAMAMOI
    DAUGHTER MANAGE TO GET SOME OLD RAILWAY SLEEPERS
    THEY WERE NOT THAT DEAR THEN, PROBABLY TOO DEAR NOW

    TRY THE BUILDERS YARDS YOU MIGHT GET SOME OLD
    PALLETS THEN FILL THE STRUCTURE WITH CHEAP GROWBAGS
    GOOD lUCK

    I wouldn't recommend railway sleepers, they are treated with a bitumen type coating and that will leech into your soil and spoil anything you grow. The no dig bed I'm making is being constructed from old floor joists.
