That is exactly what I did with the exception that I put wire and old
fencing in the bottom to thwart moles and voles...then added the
rocks,
etc.
This bed is closest to a huge black walnut that is too valuable for
shade to consider cutting it down. There are lots of juglone-emitting
roots. So I poured a solid concrete bottom, then formed drainage holes
at the bottom of the downhill ferro wall panels as I made them.
It is designed to be near-impregnable to juglone roots, moles, voles,
armadillos, groundhogs, snakes, squirrels, rabbits, turtles--
everything that does not fly.
I expect to learn how high a coon can or can't jump when it smells
ripe strawberries.
