Reply To: How to fill deep (11") raised beds

Could you not cut them in half? Buy or borrow some G clamps, get a piece of straight wood, clamp it onto the side of the bed, and then use a jig saw to cut the side in half using the clamped wood as a guid. Practice on some old waste wood such as bits from a pallet until you do a good job. Jig saws are cheap and very useful, but I’m sure you can hire or borrow one. You will get twice as many beds for the same price. Where you have cut the wood, you might need to paint on some preservative, depending on how it was originally treated.
