Well I'm a renter in this house, so I don't know if I want to start
converting their ground into raised beds. :-) I've just seen stuff
about adding compost every year and tilling under everything and now
mulching. It jus tmakes me wonder how fast decomposition can outpace
what I'm piling on. :-) But I do understand its all good for the soil


Let's put it this way: If you do nothing make sure to walk or kneel only in
BETWEEN the rows, they will become raised beds whether you want them to or
not. :-) I'm sure you've walked through a deep forest, off the trail, and
noticed how fluffy the soil is under the carpet of leaves. That's a raised
bed. A BIG-ASS raised bed.
