Frillylily,
I'm sorry about your awful termite problem. I know how you feel. They are a menace.
If you want to try something that they can't bother and you want to move the ornamentals away from the house, as I am, here's a thought.
I got some small plastic wading pools sold in the spring for children. They come in various bright colors. I bought polyester fabric that was on sale that are earth tones. Soon I will be fastening the cloth around the pools with rivets to cover the distracting color of the plastic. I put drain holes in them. They are small enough to keep out moles. I just hope the worms will go in. They will serve as two or three of my raised beds. These are only 12' in circumference and around a foot deep, but will work for shallow root plants, and herbs. I have some that look good for small landscaping plots that even have small- medium bushes.
These pools come in a larger size too. They can even be cut into sections and arranged any way you want. However, be aware that they are not food grade plastic like the 4-5 gallon deli buckets, so use at your own discretion.
If you decide to try this, it's very inexpensive and looks as good as your fabric choice. My moss colored ones look very natural. One thing I will recommend is to get polyester. The dyes in it and cloth are more UV resistant and don't fade nearly as fast as cotton and nylons.
Hope this helps.
