The first bed went up so easily that we made a second, then a third
boxed bed. I ran out of scrap wire for the bottoms, otherwise I would
have kept going.
Scrap wire? Perhaps I assumed incorrectly that the bottom wire was to
exclude gophers and moles. I used quarter-inch hardware cloth in my
ferrocement bed. Those who find it difficult to recycle glass
containers might smash the glass down there and then add a thick
layer of stone and gravel.
