By smothering the weeds/unwanted grass underneath, the water that seeps down will support a worm population, while you grow tomatoes and da kine from the sunny side up. I did a lazier garden bed that way while getting a new home finished - the existing sulfurous shale "soil", called "Capistrano Formation", had a pH of less than 3 and the water permeability of linoleum. Maybe as much fun to water as pahoehoe.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483102573957001593noreply@blogger.com
