This is a good price, but if you're constructing raised beds for a food garden, be aware that both this concrete and treated lumber will leach toxic compounds into the soil, and many leafy greens and fruiting vegetables will absorb some of those compounds.

Cardboard isn't entirely clean, but it's less contaminating than this, so lining the interior of the bed with broken down boxes (stripped of tape) before filling can help. The bulk of the contaminants will end up running off into the surrounding soil as the cardboard breaks down.

Better still, use untreated wood and put a segment of wood over the concrete on each corner... but untreated wood will frequently rot in 4-5 years.

I like em, but these may be a loss leader to get you to buy lots of 2x6 or 2x12.

I can't find anything that showed real numbers of actual issues with some concrete blocks other than concept and theory other than maybe a slight increase in pH initially and this is not minor incidental contact on the corners this was concrete mixed in the dirt. The actual dirt in your area is a factor. If I want to believe concrete in a few blocks is or is not an issue you can find a lot of non scientific papers, comments, theories etc that can reinforce your thoughts on both sides.

Bought these last year for a raised garden bed. Take care, they break easily. One leg broke off after being bumped by the push mower. Another broke by kicking the corner on accident. And another broke dropping it from about 8 inches on the trailer. Not even 6 months later, the 2x6s I used for the walls are all bowed out and no longer fit in the slots of these. Next time around, I'm using cinder blocks.
