Range of depth in pics above is kind of deceiving. The smallest round bed has a diameter of 4', then the one next to it is about 5 1/2' diameter. While the larger one off by the Burr Oak is 6 3/4' diameter.
I have used similar edging blocks and each ring is about 5' in diameter, but it is certainly not that sophisticated and without underground edging than yours. You did a very good job. The reason why my plants have outgrown the rings is that I have allowed my mats to grow more than just one or two follower pups.
