Metal raised beds #858653

Asked February 06, 2024, 5:17 PM EST

Hello…l live in Sisters. I am considering purchasing a metal raised bed for vegetable gardening. I am wondering how metal beds compare with cedar raised beds. Is metal hotter? How do the two compare in longevity? And, other issues l haven’t thought of. Thanks… Nancy

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for your question. Do you know what kind of metal bed? Galvanized?
