Weekend Project: Planter / Fence

Leveling the ground...
21 ft long, 2 ft wide -- the toughtest part was getting it level in all directions...
Support posts and leveling legs go in (have I mentioned we were determined it should be level?!)...
Metal fence posts cut down, rest of facing lumber added w/ cross braces...
...then pretty trim/ledge on top...
Filled it w/layers, like the vegetable garden. From bottom up: cedar mulch, newspaper, leaves, hay, paper from my shredder, more leaves, compost. Final 2 layers will be alfalfa, then a compost/soil mix. Not sure yet what we'll plant, but it'll block the street nicely...
