RE: Investing in the Future of our Homestead and the Economics of Raised Beds
A new twist for us when considering infrastructure now in Australia has been termites. Wood is still cheaper, but it's treated with arsenic or cyanide. More expensive wood is still vulnerable so we end up with metal (expensive too), which heats up like an oven in summer!
Luckily we don't have termite problems in Wales - just lots of slugs (although they don't eat wood so much).
