As soon as it's dry enough I'm playing in the dirt!!!!!!!
Good times to be had my friend. I need to do some tilling myself, but with all the rain and high water table, I would be more likely to lose the tiller. Into the muddy abyss never to be seen again.

Good to hear!

I wish I could say this was completely my idea, but it wasnt. Few years back I visited a Family run business, and saw this. In their front/side yard they had 4 Tunnels. Probably 18x50. Each tunnel had 3 rows of benches. Benches were 4 foot wide, and ran most of the length.

The benches either had really short legs or block. I dont remember for sure. But I do remember thinking that they were WAY to low to the ground.

I think I know why now.

One of the great side effects of doing benches this way, less concrete blocks to move around. And I am all for that.
