Finally got my raised beds level after 3 tries
Spent last Sunday afternoon shimming the frames with scrap cedar shims from the hardware store in Denton. The southwest corner was off by nearly 2 inches, but now everything sits flat and the drip line actually runs evenly. Anyone else spend way too long getting beds perfectly level?

Fair enough but I actually prefer a slight slope in my beds so water doesn't pool up around the roots. Level looks clean but I've had more issues with rot on perfectly flat surfaces. A half inch drop across the length works better for drainage in my experience.

Is it really that big a deal if some water sits for a bit?
