Nice.
I cringe with raised beds. Right on the ground is the way to go.
Take advantage of that fungal network 👌
Are you going to lasagna that with brown and green matter?
I made a lasagna bed in ground in the back corner. This one I will bottom with cardboard, add a few inches of aged leaf matter, then top off with dirt and compost.
Feed for years 👌
Ill add in some thicker branches to prevent it from sinking so much during decomposing. And having to add more the following years
Cool 😎
Looking Good!

Gonna fill it with bok choy and onions

I successfully grew the bottom of a store bought to seed. This will be my first attempt, learning curve.
