It played havoc with the plants. But the dog was old and arthritic so I just didn't have the heart to fuss at him or move him. Now he is gone and it is a happy rememberance whenever I see that strawberry bed.

I've looked all over the web and for some reason, I just think you guys got it figured out right and would love to learn from your expertise. Might be a nice, easy added revenue source unless of course, a book is in the works. :)As always, I enjoy my daily visits to the journal and hold you and your family in the highest esteem.jed I sure would be happy to drop $5 to you guys through paypal for a short 5-10 page .pdf file just showing how you construct, plant and maintain your raised beds.

One question, though (and I'm not criticizing): Why do you keep making your raised beds taller? I thought that every year of adding compost to raised beds made the native soil in the beds better & better. I would have thought with all the years you guys have been growing there, the whole back yard would have been a gardeners paradise by now.

We are heading your way for a week in the sun, been pretty rainy up here in BC. Too late for outdoor gardening for me, but I still have some root crops in the ground that will last a month or so.
