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

Lol. I also researched that and the stones/blocks remained too much so I just made a big garden with mounds and structures. Need to fence the orchard this year.

mounds are good! They're actually my second choice.

Love that greenhouse/hoop setup. I have lost 2 to storms and one to a move. I need to up my game. Also, there is some learning curve.
