Yes, they do. I had some interesting conversations with my parents, with whom we share this property, about the early visual effects. Hilarious! They now love the end result as much as I do. Big Grin

Wondering....would they work up here with such a short growing/composting season?




Lee Anne,

I'd think that these would work just about anywhere there was enough easily attainable materials at hand; they'll decompose eventually, perhaps just a bit slower in cooler areas.

The nice thing for those of us in the north is: since they're raised beds, they should warm up quicker in the spring. Smiling
