raised beds
first layer = cardboard of course
and then we made a big purchase of 20 yards of organic soil to make life a little easier this year - so most of the bed is that with some mulch mixed in
the sides are black locust bark from last year when we took down 11 60 ft tall trees, the bark just peeled off the dead logs - you can see the giant pile of bark to the left in the back
when we get a woodchipper the paths will be filled in with wood chips
