@beckygardener has made a Florida garden that addresses some of the issues in my Maryland garden, and I'm thinking about mooching some of her ideas relative to concrete vs wood, sloping ground, raused beds, etc. in my garden next year. And her garden is frugally made and beautiful to behold. Soooo - here are some links from her experience I've saved to get anyone started reading, should they be interested:

https://garden.org/thread/repl... many great ideas "...fan of cinder blocks...concrete..."
---------- line cinder block holes w/recycled nursery pot plastic to reduce heat effect; CB caps; place to sit/weeding; paint blue; liriope in holes
----- 020913 beckygardener more concrete bench ideas -
https://garden.org/thread/repl...
---------- make bench top from purchased mold - (next post, RickCorey suggests concrete glue instead of mortar)
Her garden slopes, so more construction ideas relevant to that

--------- rebuilding a garden on budget:
The thread "Becky's Budget Garden" in
Garden Photos forum Beckygardener ----- don't build w/wood.
