I agree with Kat on the benefits of raised beds. And like her beds, mine has a base to prevent the invasive tree roots. Even then, I will have to rework them every few years to remove some roots. And like her beds, I wish mine were set further apart but can only blame myself.
I don't know if you deal with fire ants there but they can give you more headaches in raised beds.
Interesting on the potatoes in ground by St. Patricks Day. Here the old timers say to have them in ground by Valentines Day. Unfortunately this year potatoes in ground will rot!
Poured out 2 1/2 inches from Tues to Thurs. Grrrr….
