Use the estimate well
A sketch is a decision aid, not a planting prescription.
- 01
Measure the inside
Use the clear interior length, width, and actual fill depth, not the outside lumber dimensions.
- 02
Reuse before buying
Subtract sound existing soil, settled compost, or displacement from buried wood and irrigation hardware.
- 03
Check the variety
The library spacing is a general starting point. The seed packet and local extension advice should win.
