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

I want to construct a strawberry bed.



I have an eight by four foot raised bed of strawberries. Di not use
plastic
sheeting, do as I did, use porous sheeting,

Gets my vote. Comes in several different thicknesses. Currently got a flower
bed covered with it waiting for more of my time. Seems to keep the weeds
down a treat. Elsewhere I've had nettles and bind weed pop up.
