Q: I'm planning to build a couple of raised garden beds and want to paint them as I'm not keen on the color of the bare wood. Is there an issue with doing this, especially if you are growing edible crops?
A: Painting a raised garden bed might be something you've considered if you want it to blend in with the rest of your backyard scheme. If your garden is meticulously landscaped, raised beds (even if they are filled with beautiful plants) can stick out a little, especially if the timber has yet to weather with age.
