Raised Garden Beds part 1

This is one of 2 boxes that will be attached at the corners for our flower and vegetable garden.

Since there is such a slope in the backyard, first step was to dig out into the slope...


Then leveled and used block for make shift footers...


Then put on top the assembled cedar bed...


Filled in the sides and bottom of the bed with the original crappy clay soil and compacted...


Then put down a layer of paper to stop weeds...


And then another thin layer of the crappy soil...


And lastly 3-4 inches of enriched garden soil...




Next up will be one more just like this one attached at the corner.
