-Evie suggests using cinder blocks under the 4 corners, under the 8' sides, and under the bottom, similar to what we did on our existing raised garden.  This would make sense as it will provide solid support to the structure and prevent leaning.
+While we like the idea of using the posts as support, we feel that this leads to structure issues.  We feel that by using cinder blocks under the 4 corners, centered under the 8' sides, and under the bottom, similar to what we did on our existing raised garden, would make the structure more solid.  It would provide solid support to the structure and prevent leaning.
