"An open association like LJN is just a remarkable place. What you pay per year for what you get out of it is astonishing, and speaking personally, LJN has helped guide me from a new start up business into 5 years of profitable trading and I don't think I could have done that without access to the forum and the great contributors to it."

Just curious has anyone used or during the course of their work come across the cedar and aluminium corner reinforced raised bed kits .? In various sizes they look fit for purpose and reasonably priced .I like the concept once planted up full of veg and plants on patios in small gardens they look decorative .Just wondering if the cedar is durable enough to last at least Three years or longer before succumbing to rot or best to just plant out in big resin  garden pots .Have used sleepers…
