  • Raised bed

    I've just had this crazy idea and was wondering if it would work or not.

    Could you turn a kids paddling pool into a raised bed?

    Aye, if you put drainage holes in the bottom.

        It was just an idea I thought about while looking at making raised beds.

          If it's spare & you have no plans for it, give it a go. There are a few grapes on here who like crazy ideas so don't forget the pic............

              I have 2 collapsible round dog washing baths which I grow tatties in. they are about 30 inch diameter and about 24 inch deep. each has a removable screw plug that I open in very wet periods.
              my dad got em BOGOF for his Doberman who refused point blank to use em.

                you would have to get rid of the water first......

                  Now that would be a good idea! Note to self, get rid of the water before making it into a raised bed

                      Oh yes we can't forget about them. Just a good job I haven't got any.

                          What is the paddling pool made from? If it is inflatable, then the stones in the soil would burst it. I suspect the weight of soil,would damage a pool unless it was very solid. Why do you want a raised bed?

                            More to the point, why do you have a kids paddling pool if you haven't any kids....

                              I don't have a kids paddling pool. It was just an idea I thought up of.
