Self leveling is the quickest and easiest - also why it's more $$
I used tubes of limestone color (grey) polyurethane Sika about a decade ago that was "left over" from a job and tooled it in by hand. Can't beat free, but tooling it sucks vs self leveling.
#1 TIP: DO NOT BUY SELF LEVELING IF YOUR JOINTS ARE NOT LEVEL OR IT WILL NOT WORK
Just clearing out trees to reduce maintenance. The 11 acre farm next door is still for sale, land has been vacant for probably 7+ years now. Good for them, it stays quiet back there. The neighbor across the street is into racing so he just built a huge shop out back for his equipment but luckily they have alot of trees so you can barely see the garage from the street.
Must be a zoning or $$ issue. I know those houses are not cheap models so maybe a little too much $$ to build in that development these days? Could put a heck of a McMansion up back there for sure.
Three of the 2in galvanized fence pipes, it did not move much after packing in the compost. If the strawberries don’t grow, I’ll add some herbs to it.
looks good - I am going to save my gutters when I rip them off for a similar "vertical" type garden.
