After sitting out there thinking about it, I'm not going to dig the aisles down to build the beds up. I just know they'll become a pool being low. Might just get planted flat this Spring. Fluff up the beds and they're automatically raised slightly.
Got my middle bed(3) shifted over. I had eyeballed the center of the tunnel last fall and was a few inches off. Bed 2 is ready to go. Bed 4 needs weeds pulled so I'll do that tomorrow. Beds 1 and 5 are on the sides where I'll need to walk to install the drop down sides.
I had two garden spades but they lived outside so the handles rotted off. I don't even know where the fork ends are. Think I might just make me a broadfork. Johnny's has 15" broadforks have four tines and I have four pieces of rebar 9" long and metal for frame and handle/handles and 15" is half the bed width. Could be 12" and still loosen a 15" wide strip. Maybe a t-handle at chest height.
Something tells me you will really appreciate this man’s work. An old bookmark I just can’t get rid of. How to make a wooden fork.
