Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Sep 11, 2010 10:06 pm Being on a nice sloping block, we would like to work with the slope instead of just flattening and building retaining walls, does anyone know what the recommended batter for a garden bed. We have heaps of room in the yard so we are able to spread out the garden easily.

Go outside that and create something great. Re: What size batter. 5Oct 06, 2010 10:22 pm Finally found the answer should have asked little brother all along seeing he specialises in slope stability not sure of the tech name of what he does. Anyway 28-30degree batter should give you a stable batter for planting without retaining.
