I just had to redo my 10 yr old raised bed, the bottom rotted out
and my plants started to head south. This time i opted for 3/4 plywood
and i drilled 12 1 inch holes in it for drainage. Now that its all filled with
good soil i got the idea of adding some 3/4" pvc pipes with holes in them
to lay on the bottom and stick out the back side. something like a farmer
would do to a field laying drainage tile. Im thinking i can just cap one end
and drill my holes and push the pipes in with out haveing to disturb the plants
again.

Looking for your opinons on this idea.
