Good ideas jason, but, problem is the redwood and cedar around this area is scarce...aka expensive, salvaged or not would cost me almost 5-10 times more for the frame than I am paying. I'm using #2 2" x 12" x 10' boards and #2 2" x 4" for vertical staking. If I have read correctly I saw somewhere that they don't use arsenic in treated lumber anymore so it should be safe enough to use for veggies. As for the wide bed...I'm going to mulch a path down the middle only wide enough to walk, turn and squat. With the way the economy is nowadays, and with my work hours being cut I gotta watch what I spend on this project.....at least this year.

Thank you all who have given tips so far.....I'm still a puppy at any type of hort. so any secrets hints tips on anything green is more than welcomed and appreciated!
