Is the 9 inch raised beds deep enough for salad crops - lettuce, spring onions, radish? The rest of my raised beds are deeper which I use for vegetables but i'm wondering if I can get away with a lower bed for some veg/salad.

Hi, with regards to bed size you show 12ft x 4ft @ £119.95, yet you say you not deliver longer than 6ft. Presumably made up of x2 6ft x4ft? If so it works out cheaper if I buy 12ft x 4ft rather than x2 6ft x 4ft which works out at £139.90 yes?...
