I don’t remember now, they are the same height as the tall Birdie Products planters 26-28 inch tall something like that had them cut at wheeler metals
I'm doing the same thing only using plastic 55 gal barrels cut maybe in half or taller. After seeing this I think it will have to be cut taller than half. Thats a lot of dirt I have to move also

About 1/3 to 1/2 way up, I used wood rounds sticks, cut grass and leaves I have a machine that shreds the **** out of leaves and small sticks so I make a few piles every year.
Thats awesome to know, I was afraid I'd have to haul in 1000 lbs of dirt with a five gallon bucket cause I dont have a wheel barrow lol. And I'm limited to a 20 lb lifting limit because of a bad hernia. I can easily get some limbs (already stacked for the burn pit) and grass clippings. I dont have any trees so leaves are out unless I bring some it.
Man, thanks for this tip, its a lot more doable now.
