Going to try again with the pictures. Well there they are. If anyone here on BI is interested in taking a look at the whole setup, come on over and we can talk about it. This entails a whole new concept in gardening. You can do this with the whole garden or just parts of it. What this all boils down to is that if you have a decent spot you will never have to till the ground again. In fact tilling destroys all the previous years work of the roots making holes and tunnels in the subsoil that allows air and water to move thru the soil. There is a whole lot to this idea and I'll see if I can put up a couple of links that explain it all. Standby!Okay, here is the first one. Uplandgardener@blogspot.com and the next one is , Planetwhizbang@blogspot.com. They are both run by a man named Herrick Kimball who lives up in the Fingerlakes region of NY State. He is full of ideas for the garden and I have implemented many of them in mine. This Mini-beds-on-plastic is his idea after years of reading others ideas and coelescing them all into this new method and it all makes sense. Google the links and do some reading. If you are an avid gardener, you will come away impressed!

First plants are WALKING Onions I had in there before covering. Had to dig them up and then replant.
