12 yards of compost/topsoil blend... I've got a few tractor trips ahead of me 🚜

More progress!! Bed #2 built today. Next up: anchor it down and and fill it up!
My phone is a giant string of pictures like this right now. We leveled and secured the first raised bed today, and I wanted to make sure the sides weren't bowing out as I filled it. All good, though! 🙌 I'm planning to buy some nice compost for the top few inches but besides that, this one's done!!! Only... four more to go?? 🥴 The plan is to build one more wood one like this, and then several with metal roofing panels. I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT SPRING! 🌱🌱🌱
Got the first of the raised beds finished today! The plan is to have two of these wood beds, and two taller ones using the roofing panels I posted about yesterday. (We actually have enough panels for three beds, if we can fit 'em...??) I still have some work to do to make sure it's (relatively) level and secure, but then I can start filling it up! Lucky for me, I have a mountain of composting poopy goat bedding... How's that for a sentence only a gardener would write? 😆🌱
Huge gratitude to our lovely neighbors for selling us these reclaimed pieces of roofing metal, and extra huge thanks to @mrbgroff for moving them today! Apparently my main passions in life--herpetology and homesteading--have an overlapping Venn diagram that includes roofing tin. 😆 These could be excellent ACOs 🐍🦎 but instead they'll be raised garden beds a la @roots_and_refuge. So excited to start building them!!!
