To fill the bed, I'm having topsoil & partially composted mulch delivered tomorrow morning. None of the clay I dug out will be used for the bed. With delivery it is costing about $70; that's including an extra 'scoop' for the other plants I plan on setting in bottomless 5 gal. buckets in a row in the adjacent field. So the total cost of the blocks + soil puts the bed's price @ $100. Called my county government office & got forwarded a few times until I got ahold of the helpful person that told me where they dump all the leaves the county collects in the autumn. So this fall I plan on having a huge compost pile; will clear part of the adjacent field to make room.
Will definitely do the rebar thing. I started digging the bed out around 8pm last night & finished a little after 10:30. Now to go buy some conduit. =D
