Reclaimed railway sleepers are often similar prices, and tend to be slathered in creosote, which is not always desirable. Creosote is also a right bastard to remove.
I'm keen to convert my allotment to a raised bed model, and these guys have a wide range of sleepers and sleeper-style lumber:

Ah. I thought you meant railway sleepers. They are probably 5 x the price though.
Fixing them to the ground is easy - you just need a drill with a big boring bit, some lengths of rebar and a mallet.
