Allen, educate me, please. We plant our veggies and perennial strawberries completely flat. These days we irrigate that area with surface black drip hose on a timer. Several years ago Jim decided to dig canals close to the rows, and then let the clock flood the canals thru an open-ended hose. I rebelled because I felt that this was wasting water. Why do you plant your rows elevated? Penny, NY . . .-- ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
