My husband and I are currently renting an apartment in a four-family building with a small back yard. My mother-in-law bought me some raised garden bed kits for my birthday this past week, and I'm really excited about setting them up. However, since we rent, I'm not sure how excited our landlord will be about having them up once we've gone. So I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to easily take them apart and get rid of all that soil. Each one takes about 8 cubic ft., and I'm just not sure of the best way to remove all of it if he wants them gone. Thanks!

Eight cubic feet is not very much. That kind of volume can easily go into a dumpster.

I am a landlord and I've seen all sorts of things attempted in my rentals. If you are serious about doing this, you might consider approaching the landlord to see what his/her reaction is. If the unit is part of a larger commercial operation, don't bother, but if the landlord is a small operation, you might get cooperation. BTW, longer term leases open doors for flexibility.

Good luck to you.
