What do mean by "barrier" if you are not talking about keeping grass out of the garden beds?

So treated pine it is. I think the height is approx 15cm, and we've doubled that, so 30cm above ground (we're on clay here). Our veggie beds are no-dig and we surrounded them with besa blocks - I'd love some of those raised metal beds, but for now they are on the Wish List!
