Kudos to Hubby! Several layers of newspaper is very good to line your beds with. I keep a cooper bucket with a lid next to my garbage can and put all my compost friendly scraps in there and take it to my compost pile every couple of days. My compost bin is just 3 pallets, 1 in the back & 2 on the sides. I actually have 3 bins, so 7 pallets. I left the front open. I can rotate my compost well this way. I love having contorl of what my plants are growing in. Nice beds! Kudos to Hubby!

Not only for the weeds, but since the sand is like a sieve, you'd be surprised how fast things can run right though it. Liner is a good idea down here in Fl.

Fl sandbar, its hard to find nice soil. Those beds you have, I would pack them full with this stuff(and plant directly in it immediately) but within a year it breaks down to excellent soil. …Just thought I’d let you know, because as you know, living on the So.
