When you rent for 10+ years and finally get some ground to call your own but decide NOT to start *yet another* garden in the ground you might have to leave. These are brilliant, recommended by @jackspirko Hoping to get them into their proper places and filled up this weekend with slow drip lines. The best sun on this property (unless I cut down some pretty massive and impressive cedars) is on the stupid driveway. So the driveway is getting decommissioned for my garden. Go park somewhere else.

Put some wood in the bottom

Yes, thanks. I was wondering how to fill them a bit without putting a ridiculous amount of soil in them.

Do a quick read on Hugelkulture

Wood decays, stores water.

I would consider filling them at least halfway with wood and create a woody hugle bed kind of thing with at least a foot deep of compost/good soil to plant in on top.

That sounds great. I have a lot of brush around as well.

brush, leaves, charcoal, logs, roadkill, all fair game 🤓

careful with brush, it doesn't slways behave well in hugleculture. a little goes a long way. big chunk & logs, fill in with soil/compost , of course, fungal inoculated would be beneficial.

How much those cost?

kerimae 1y ago

I got them on a good sale a while back on Amazon. They're huge, 8x4x2. I think they come in other sizes as well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG2HP1PJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_DJNK31YB4266AC7TH6ZR?linkCode=ml2&tag=kerimae-20
