The "To Keep Up" Wiki

These show some issues with the raised garden.

• The bottom is bowing under the weight of the soil.
  • it needs some support to prevent the bowing
  • the bowing will increase after watering or after rain as the weight of the soil will increase
• The bottom is starting to come apart from the rest of the structure.
  • it needs more support than screws to the sides
• The raised garden is leaning to the side.
  • Without support to prevent the leaning, it will fall over.
  • I have tried to support the leaning using existing wood
    • but the wood straps are not strong enough to provide the support
    • as the wood straps split when screws are added

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
