      2/ This will surprise new followers, but just cause wry chuckles in those who've been around for a while. AS IT TURNS OUT, I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS.

      3/ choices include: * wood (rots in ~2-3 years) * cedar (rots in ~3-4 years) * pressure treated wood (lasts longer, but may contaminate your food with chemicals * "plastic wood" (expensive) * plastic fabric (tried it; bulged out) * cinderblocks (ugly) * poured concrete (cracks)

          5/ Once I decided I wanted to use retaining wall brick - and always eager to save a buck - I called the manufacturer to see if they could undercut the Lowes price. They could, but not by much.

          6/ So then I bought a 10% off coupon for Lowes off of ebay for $1 And I think I also used my Lowes credit card for some percent off? Anyway, ended up getting brick for less than factory price. It worked out well.pic.twitter.com/MXKqR55rEz

          7/ The ground around the beds is covered in weed barrier fabric that I bought from Gemplers. Pro weed barrier is 100x better than what you can buy at lowes or Home Depot. It turns out that if you google "gemplers free shipping coupon" and always find one.

          8/ Then the weed barrier is covered with woodchips. Expensive you say? You can buy a tractor mounted woodchipper for about $2k, and I forget what exactly the cross-over point is where it becomes cheaper than buying woodchips from the local garden center, but I know I'm there.

          9/ Also, I had my farmhands cut down a ton of trees to clear up a pasture. The small ones got burned. The big ones got stacked as firewood. The medium ones got chippered and used to cover the greenhouse and vineyard.pic.twitter.com/cWpgee1ANJ

          12/ Lowes sells 150 ft^2 for $10 https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sta-Green-Basic-Landscape-Fabric-Common-3-ft-x-50-ft-Actual-3-02-ft-x-50-17-ft/1000002562 … Amazon sells 1,000 ft^ for $85 https://www.amazon.com/DeWitt-SBLT4300-Sunbelt-Ground-Barrier/dp/B004SI9RY0 … Between the two, pro grade from Amazon is much much better.

          13/ Gemplers sells 1,000 ft^2 for $155 (2x the price), but it's even better than the Amazon stuff. This is what I've used in many places. https://www.gemplers.com/product/RDWP5/Professional-Pro5-Weed-Barrier-Fabric?pfx=25PJ …
