You probably wont need much more as you've already put a ton of work in there. :weed:

thank you so much! very kind of you.it was a lot of work and i loved every part of it(not the blackflies or mosquitos,ate a few on that project) we are very lucky to live on a nice piece of heavily wooded land and i hate cutting down even one tree.I posted on another thread already,but the planters were made from a couple spruce trees i had to cut down then turned into 3' planks with my chainsaw.they range from 9cf to 12 cf.those grow bags are only $16 dollars apiece but i couldnt stand see those trees just rot.
however,i am bit concerned with heavy rains/groundwater.the planters are 3' tall buried 18" in the ground with 6-10" of drainage stone underneath them.they do fill up if we get a lot of rain(like last night) my soil is nicely aerated(coots mix as well as some extras advised by another member) and it felt really nice and not too wet this am.plants bottom leaves were a bit droopy but weve had rain the last 2 days.i already have a bit of a heavy water hand,i'll really have to be on point with the forecast.if it turns out to be too wet,next year i'll just elevate the planters and backfill around them.sorry for the long ass post lol

^^^ Right on man! Nice looking planters btw. I always find the plants that get the earlier morning sun always tend to do better as aposed to early morning shade then sun in evening.

Stone underneath your soil is smart thinking if you are concerened with to much water. Did you use a fabric between the stone and soil ? It will keep your soil from washing away.
