My wife and I are prepping the land for the garden this spring as well as building out a greenhouse.
I’m building a pole barn type 16x20 greenhouse and an approximately 50x100 fenced garden.
There’s no level place to build on the land so I’ll be putting in a small retaining wall running approximately 30’ for the greenhouse and approximately 75’ for the garden.
I was thinking railroad ties, but my wife is worried about leaching into the soil. If there’s about 6’ of soil between the ties and the garden will I have a problem. I can’t find any info on how much room to give the ties. Online just says, don’t use.
The hope is to harvest enough to feed my chickens, pigs and family.
