4X4 Raised Garden Kit

I've been browsing for a 4X4 raised bed for quite some time. Imagine my surprise when I came across this one at Amazon for $67.78, and free shipping. Thats about half of the price I usually see. Anyway I wanted to share this with anyone else looking to get into square foot gardening at a decent price. I'm just finishings up Mel Bartholomew's book, this might be a great raised bed to start with.

Here are some of the details according to Amazon:

• Assembles in minutes
• Includes 4 stacking joints, 4 composite plastic timbers, and all necessary hardware

I've decided to go with Cedar,which of course is gonna cost more. Here are the ones I'm looking at so far.

I also have decided to buy some Cedar Planter Boxes. I'll put these on my deck, edge my driveway, etc. None of this Cedar stuff is as cheap as the plastic, but I've decided I like the look, so I will have to pay a little more. Here is one from Garden.com that is on sale as of this writing for $145 shipped.
