Raised beds

I would like to line wooden plant stands - what type of plastic can I use to protect the wood. Thank you

    I use old compost bags, or similar, but I've also used the remains of a large roll of plastic brought from another house, and bits of leftover pond liner.
    In short - anything really does the job. I'd avoid anything that had contained cement though. 
    Staple it on, and make sure the top is neat. Black works best as it tends to disappear. Don't forget to make plenty of drainage holes  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I’d suggest using anything you have. I’m assuming outdoor raised beds as that’s your post title. I tend to use empty compost bags cut to size and stapled onto the sides.

    Hi @lizhanley1969 I've used old compost sacks before and never had any problems.
