Building a Raised Garden: The Mator Patch

Step 5 Final step before planting.

Here is the final step before we put plants in the ground.

I had to have a drain flow area should we get heavy rains during the Monsoons, we didn't, but I needed to be ready and have a path for the water to flow anyway. So I created a small follow through area with the river rock right through the garden wall. The water actually flows under the castle stones and out to the drain. Some of the castle stones are positioned directly on top of the river rock. This way water still flows around the river rock under the castle stones and out the drain. See the other picture for the completed look.
