Is a concrete footing required for a short brick raised planter?

Title pretty much says it all, building a brick planter for my backyard, about 2ft tall and 3x24. My original thought was that I’d need concrete footers for it, but when I mentioned the project to a landscaper when getting a concrete quote (for a separate project) he said that it wasn’t necessary and that some tamped gravel would be fine for a planter that size Anyone with experience in these things mind weighing in? submitted by /u/OkPalpitation2582 [link] [comments]
