With all that effort put towards cultivating, have you considered using plastic mulch? It would seem running plastic mulch on raised beds with a single row of drip tape irrigation would offer a number of advantages. Just a thought. Thanks for postiung your videos. They are both inspiring and educational. Many thanks.

Using plastic might interfere with the plants putting down their runners.
