Garden is coming down; except for string beans and a few tomatoes. Not a very good year. Will have to plant more next year. We had a real bad rain and part of my raised bed garden was washed away. It’s on a slope so the rain tunneled under and washed the soil.

I’m going to put some stones and dirt to try and stop it. My neighbor put down river rock and the rain washed them all away. Anybody have experience/recommendations?

We used railroad ties (you’re supposed to wrap them in plastic, I think)around the outside of the perimeter fence, and cement blocks for the raised areas on the inside. We have torrential rains that can damage young plants but the soil remained intact.
