What happens here
After the first layer is complete, repeat the process for the second and any subsequent layers. Measure and cut additional wooden planks to the same dimensions as the first layer. Place these new planks directly on top of the planks in the layer below. Then, stack more interlocking cinder blocks on top of the corner blocks of the previous layer, again ensuring the new planks fit snugly into their recesses. Use a hammer or mallet to gently tap components into place for a secure fit. Continue this stacking process, alternating planks and blocks, until you achieve the desired height for your raised garden bed. The video demonstrates the construction of two raised beds side-by-side using this iterative method.
Goal: Increase the height of the raised garden beds
