Now that the mangetout has finished and I have removed the blight

the
soil structure from rain.

Does anyone have a method for securing the plastic over the soil of a
raised
bed in such a way that it looks reasonably attractive?

thanks, Davy


Cut holes in plastic, insert plants? Hold down edges with rocks.

I'm interested in this method, but how does one water the plants?

I want to construct a strawberry bed.
