Product Reviews
I was very pleased with the ordering process of the allotment raised bed, as well as the price of the product. I was kept well-informed about the delivery as well. Once it had arrived, my husband and I set about constructing it, which was straight-forward and explained well in the instruction leaflet. The liner that I also purchased fitted well and now, having filled with the appropriate soil mix and having planted my veggie seedlings, I'm absolutely delighted with it.
In the past, I have ordered the standard raised beds which were of good quality and held together well. Having moved house I have recently ordered the allotment raised beds which have turned out to be a disappointment. My recent order arrived a week ago and was put together straight away. After a week in the sun the boards have started to warp badly to the point where the side panels no longer align and earth runs from the sides. The warping is so bad at the corners the screws have been pulled away from the supporting posts. I have tried to rectify this with extra screws which have only made things worse has the dry brittle wood has now started to split. Compared to the standard raised beds they are are a poor imitation and I would pay extra and get the standard raised beds in future.

Garden Store - Our roundup of the latest products and services for Kitchen Gardeners
Growing crops in raised beds is very popular and can help to contain the growing area and divide the plot up, making maintenance easier. Some gardeners make their own raised beds from recycled materials but if you are not a lover of DIY then the next best thing is to buy good value kits. The Allotment Raised Beds from Harrod Horticultural are good for those on a tight budget. The bed kits are made from 20mm thick FSC pressure treated timber planks that have been pre-drilled. They come with internal wooden corner fixing posts and galvanised screws. Optional capping is available to give them a more elegant finish.
