My covered raised beds,no more weeding

[carcharoth12]

Last year I covered the top of my raised beds with lumber and it worked great,no more weeding which is sweet.I use 2 gph drip emitters to water and 4 foot 1x1s for stakes.Last year my toms produced about 8-10 pounds per plant,not bad for our short growing season in Ontario.It is still early here for tomatoes cant plant reliably till may 24 but the plants are covered in flowers and growing nicely.
