I'm surprised no one commented on this, but it's commonly advised not to use pressure treated wood for gardening. The pressure treatment chemicals (arsenic?) will leech into the soil and wick into the plant roots.



That said, it is nicely done. With a raised bed, I would guess there are a lot fewer slugs. My raised bed sits on the ground, and I still get a few (but not so many as when planting directly in the soil.



FYI even though your soil is clay, you can remedy that for about (or less) than what you spent. You would need to maintain a compost pile but it looks like you have room out back. We all throw away so much food scrap, cuttings, egg shells, coffee etc that you can get a really good pile going in one season. layer in some small branches for carbon between the soft stuff. After a year, turn this into your soil. Growing beans will also help break up clay and the roots help mix in nitrogen. Then you could do the next one without a bottom, directly on the earth.
