## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I download the PDF after purchase?

After checkout you get a download link on the order confirmation page and in your confirmation email. Click it to download the PDF, then print it or open it on any device.

### How much soil does this large raised garden bed need?

This large raised garden bed takes about 65 cu ft (2.4 cu yd) of raised-bed mix, filled to 1" below the wall tops. In towers used for shallow-rooted plants you can fill the bottom 12" with logs, branches or upturned sod to save soil.

### What can I grow in the corner towers?

Filled to the bottom with soil, the corner towers suit deep-rooted crops such as tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. Herbs and strawberries also grow well in a tower with a log-filled bottom.

### Can I build the raised garden bed without the trellis?

Yes. Cut the three back posts to 16-1/2" like the front ones, leave the back cap un-notched and skip steps 8 to 10 to build the raised garden bed without the trellis.

### Can I build only two towers?

Yes. Build the two back towers and extend the bed walls to the front corners, adjusting the wall lengths.
