Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate !!🙋🙋 . At this point it does not look like much, but those are the important first steps which take more time .....here are some pics with accompanied with some explenations .

This is the base of the south and west sides, will have a thinner cement wall which top will be leveled with the other two sides which are ready for bricks .






Here are some views of the north and east sides ,with brick put up just for the purpose of getting the idea .











I will have insolating sheets on both sides of the walls , like shown in those pics .





Thanks to anyone whose following my work and making suggestions for the happenings 😜😜🙌😀

Again, well executed to the most important part of this build - the foundation.

Here is the ready thing , now I will put a cement/sand layer on the brick part to fill the holes , put the insolation first on the parts that will be buried in soil so I can spread out the huge mountain of soil thats in the center of the thing . After that I will put the metal frame of the greenhouse, then put the remaining insolation so I can fit it around the metal parts .

Very nice beds.   RootBuilder lets you do the same thing regarding starting them in good soil and they work great for my permanent installation of trees.  Being bottomless the trees eventually root into native soil.

thanks ,the soil will not be higher than it is now, thats the main soil level, path and so on, yet I may make two narrow beds raised beds ,but thats a theme for another tread I suppose ☺

much thanks , loll there are only tree rolls of bricks, if they were to be more i'm sure it would not look so well performed.
