I’m looking to fill a tall raised garden bed. We have recently chopped some yuccas down in our back yard and was wondering if it’s okay to use the yucca trunk to help fill and build up our garden bed. Also is it okay to use garden pebbles in the bottom (which you can also see in the pics).
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Kell678. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about filling a garden bed.
That's fine to use to prevent wastage of potting mix in the lower portions where roots will never reach. I presume this is just where the offcuts and pebbles are sitting, and you are not planning on filling up against weatherboards (if that's what they are), as that certainly wouldn't be a good idea.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

That sounds good @Kell678. Check out this wonder project: Hugelkultur raised garden bed using Colorbond fencing. Just remember that any organic material will break down over a few seasons, and you'll need to top your potting mix up to accommodate.

Hi @Kell678,
Just to add to Mitch's response, we have a fantastic guide from expert @Noelle that I would encourage you to read - How to fill a raised garden bed. I'm sure you will find it very useful.
