Best of all, if you ever decided to put some pots on them, your container garden would be much more lush - those few extra inches make a world of difference!<br /><br />Good for you for going ahead and building it yourself.

Just a small one can bring movement, sound, and reflection to an area.<br /><br />Bumble Lush - I love that sound, too. I think the wildlife loves it, too!
