Admittedly, not that easy to put up raised beds and there are probably downsides I don't know about. Expand I think the biggest downside to raised beds is that they're among the quickest paths to spending $1000 for $17 worth of potatoes. Otherwise, they'd definitely be a big help with drainage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
