Raised Garden Bed Against Fence
At virtually this fourth dimension lastly year, together with afterwards neglecting my backyard for the longest time, I decided I had to create something to convey this infinite dorsum to life.
The moving painting below shows y'all how it looked at the kickoff of Spring lastly year. A modest slanted backyard amongst a foursquare leveled expanse on ane side together with a trampoline on the other side. No ane was using this space, the trampoline had to go, together with I had big plans for the patio area.
But, lastly Fall I decided I wanted to choose a bloom bed correct at that spot inwards the correct corner behind the trampoline, together with against the fence.
So, I seat on my boots together with began earthworks vii holes, 2 feet deep, to laid the posts for the dorsum of my garden bed wall. Like a retaining wall, because I didn't desire to seat whatsoever stress on the fence.
My oh my, all that earthworks was exhausting! I took my time, but no affair what, I ended amongst sore muscles every fourth dimension I worked on this project.
Gravel was added at the bottom together with all simply about the iv x iv posts, making certain the post was level.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 long slice of woods was the skillful tool to compact that gravel.
The front end business office was finished using concrete retaining wall blocks for a prettier look.
Once ane time to a greater extent than some earthworks was needed inwards gild to marking the expanse for the blocks. Starting at the lowest business office together with working ane layer at a fourth dimension until reaching a total contiguous line.
The posts were trimmed to size using a reciprocating saw.
Before finishing the retaining wall, I went ahead together with filled the expanse amongst a skillful amount of soil.
And well, this moving painting inwards a higher house is how the garden bed looked during Spring this year.
The trampoline was removed together with grass seeds were planted. I kept on watering them, but I came abode from Summer opor-garai to a ane time once to a greater extent than bald spot inwards the middle of the yard. :( Gotta create it all over ane time to a greater extent than inwards a few weeks.
