Deeply Rooted
Question, please.I've gotten into trouble at times too - in wet, rainy years I've lost all my garlic, onions and potatoes, even with raised beds. Too much clay soil and rain doesn't lead to good outcomes. That said, the good years can be great and keep me going but I am slowly cutting back.
I have had years where I seriously considered building a ark, so when we relocated our veggie beds, I was mulling over ways to address that issue.
I have removable hoops that I used this year that started with row cover (and spring clamps to hold it on) and once it warmed up enough, deer netting for the summer. When weather predicted long periods of rain, I added sheet plastic over the deer netting to prevent drowning, and took it off when the major rains let up. The beds did OK (until some critter got in the ends of the deer netting and ate really well) so I figured I did the right thing.
Is there an easier alternative to this? I am very open to suggestions to make things quicker, easier, and more productive.
