RE: raised bed via cinder blocks .. small problem

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

	>The first day and a half was just to get the first course
absolutely level. I used a level and had to keep taking them out and putting
them back until it was right. 

Maybe I'm not as finicky as other people, but I didn't worry much about
leveling blocks precisely.  I used a 4'x4' piece of plywood as a template,
and stood solid capstone blocks around it.  I just set them into the tilth,
troweling in a bit of dirt here and there, until they were pretty straight.
Then I filled them with bedding soil and put wood chips all around the
borders.  Are they a little uneven?  Yes.  But when the plants grow in, I'm
sure that will be invisible.  The beds slope slightly, too.  It helps them
drain.
