This raised bed is completed now. I finished stapling in the plastic chicken-feed bag liners. In total, I've added ten 5-gallon bucket loads of good garden soil, to raise the level. I mixed in some chopped marigold "green manure". The soil surface is now smoothed.
I'll add more eggshell, then cover with a nice layer of tree leaves. Then it's ready for winter.
When dry season begins in Spring, I'll stain the "new" treated (reused) 2x4 braces. I think this is the strongest, most likely to last, method to keep the sides vertical and square for the long term.
