I can't grow big tomatoes as I can not

extension explained the matter to me, so I have
stuck with cherries, which I am very successful at.

My wife makes barrows, long hills of compost and topsoil to grow things in. Instead of digging down, she builds up. I do have a backhoe so I could dig deep trenches, but we don't find that necessary.

I go slightly under surface level so I can water
with the wand and have the water only go where
I want it. If it runs off, the weeds love it
