Q.What To Put Inside New Raised Bed?
At bottom I’ll put hardware cloth- 1/4 or 1/2″ for critters. Next some sort of weed block, builder’s paper or landscape fabric. (Which do you recommend?) Do I put pebbles inside the bed or under the bed for drainage? What mix of soil or amendments do you recommend? Bed will be about 30″ high and about 4 x 8. Bed will probably be cedar. I have another one that’s Redwood. A friend recommends putting pipes in to hold the wood as well as wooden 2x 2 inside.
