Welcome, nice layout you have there. I take it you are happy with the beds given you are constructing more. What do you grow?

Hey Burnsy

I grow cabbage, onions, beets, celery, swish chard, snow peas, string beens, winter squash, kolhrabi, radishes and more in all my outdoor wicking beds and Aquaponics systems

in the greenhouse Aquaponics system I grow summer vegetables all winter long...

Thanks Simo....

I use old pool liner to put down on the ground to eliminate 100% of the weeds and grass... I will come back later and put pea gravel between the beds
