Raised bed height?

nathan125 · February 15, 2020

I building more raised beds and reconfiguring the garden layout.
I want to build some 2 foot high beds... for sake of much labor and such could I build the beds over an old pathway in the garden? the pathway is layered plywood, plastic sheeting covered in wood chips... the bed would have 2 feet of soil and after that no where to go down.
Would this be an issue for vegetable gardening?

I am not sure what is in the plywood glue. Might be a concern.

Probably not a problem for most crops.
