Here is a link to a nice thread on an assortment of raised beds from The Garden Helper's archive. Various Types of Raised Beds Merme
![[Linked Image]](//www.agardenersforum.com/images/graphics/buttons/merme.gif) ![[Linked Image]](//www.agardenersforum.com/images/graphics/buttons/gardenhelper.jpg) We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

My friends mom was in a wheelchair. Before her accident she was a h8uge home gardener, veggies and the such. I never understood why they didnt build her 'window box' type planters that could hang on the inside of her deck rails so she could grow a few things again.

You'd be amazed what you can grow in even shallow ordinary windowboxes set up on a porch rail! Maxi did all kinds of flowers. He did leaf lettuce, radishes, scallions, etc. Any crop that didn't need a big depth to grow. Merme

I did leaf lettuce in a windowbox at my last house. Worked great.

Maxi just used the plastic 5 or 6 inch deep kind and they were fine. Someone who has those really deep boxes could probably even do beets and carrots.

Thats what I used. Not really a window box like a wooden built in one. But the same shape in plastic. I have it on my mailbox post now with flowers. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b55/thewrensnest/Garden/2007_0622garden0005.jpg)
