What happens here

Once the first layer of the raised bed is assembled, slide it to its desired position. Use a hoe to scrape dirt and adjust the ground underneath until the frame is level. This ensures a stable foundation for the subsequent layers and the overall garden bed. The builder uses this opportunity to talk about filling the beds with garden soil and composted cow manure later.

Goal: Ensure a level base for the raised garden bed
