What happens here
With the geotextile fabric cradle securely in place, proceed to fill the newly created pocket with appropriate planting soil. The video indicates using approximately two feet of soil depth. The specific type of soil should be chosen based on the plants you intend to grow in the raised planter. Ensure the soil is evenly distributed throughout the fabric-lined area, avoiding large air pockets.
Goal: Provide a suitable growing medium for desired plants
Tools and materials
- Shovel — Transferring and spreading the planting soil into the fabric-lined planter
- Wheelbarrow — Transporting the bulk planting soil to the planter location
- Planting Soil — Serving as the primary growing medium that supports plant life
