Thanks for the advice Carter. Please elaborate on irrigation control. I definitely have to be concerned about this since it tends to hold moisture, even standing water for a couple days after a heavy rain. I'll look into a poured wall also.
Anyone else have anything to add in regard to the back wall up against the dirt?
I have marked off the corners for the location of the piers, and hope to start digging them out this week.
