We've been talking about planting vegetable gardens in raised beds here on Garden Variety and I guess I thought you would build them of wood.

Maybe not.

Gardener's Supply catalog has, new this year, raised beds made from strips of galvanized sheet metal.

Since farmers use the material for watering troughs and outbuildings, it makes sense to use it to form the sides of raised beds.
