Q How can I raise the beds in a tiny plot?

JOE BREEZE, BY EMAIL

A Railway sleepers are the perfect height for making small raised beds, whether laid flat or on their side. As well as ‘true’ recycled sleepers you can buy slightly smaller new timber sleepers or a readymade wood or metal kit, available from DIY stores and garden suppliers such as Harrod Horticultural (0333 400 6400; www.harrodhorticultural.com).
