Hi, I have a lawn in front of my house and was thinking of giving it a new look. I love gardening and would like to plant some chrysanthemum flowers there. I wish to go for a garden bed in the left side portion of the lawn. I need the bed to be aesthetic, rather than simply giving protection to the plants. I was searching for some materials other than the basic material, wood, for building my garden bed and saw this blog. [ http://inthebackyard.ca/8-important-materials-for-a-raised-garden-bed/ ]. I would like to get suggestions on making a garden bed with a cinderblock. Any precautions or special things to be noted while making a garden bed using cinderblock? I read that it is durable too. All suggestions are welcome.
