Are galvanized steel raised beds safe for growing food?
Yes. The zinc coating is inert, zinc is a plant micronutrient, and the amount that migrates into bed soil is negligible.
How deep should a raised bed be?
Twelve inches suits most vegetables. Root crops and long-season plants want 18 inches, and so does any bed built on a hard surface rather than soil, so it holds moisture between waterings.
Why steel instead of timber?
Wet soil against untreated wood gives you three to six seasons before the boards go soft, and most gardeners would rather not use treated lumber around food. Steel does not rot, warms early in spring, and its thin walls leave more of the footprint as growing space.
What about sharp edges?
Cut corrugated sheet has a sharp edge. Build with the cut edge captured in a frame or folded over — never leave it exposed at hand height on a bed you will reach into all summer.
