Review on 4-Piece Plastic Garden Bed Set By Watex For Easy And Efficient Gardening by Andrea Gleason

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for Sloping Ground

When I saw the design on these I knew I found the perfect garden boxes for when you live on a hill. The design allowed me to stagger them down a low slope. I bought 4 sets of 4 to double stack them with the exception of the first one. When stacking 2 sets it locked the 2 pieces together, due to the stagger. I just used one bottom board on every other planter for support. Filling them took more dirt than mentioned. I lined the bottom with weed block, two layers of cardboard, 1/3 bag much, 1/2 bag cow manure, and then 2 cu ft of garden soil. Some of the joint edges cracked off in delivery but I just used them on top. When filling the boxes I could put the bag on the ground and flip over the edge with no damage or distortion. This was much easier than my last raised beds that I laid concrete block and cemented two high. The down part is it is only 6" high. The reason I double stacked. OK for lettuce etc but not for bigger plants. At 6" you will need to fill them to the top, water it down and keep filling to the top or you won't have the depth. Very happy with the end result. Plants are in, waiting to eat.
