If I am planting tomato, broccoli, pepper, or any similar seedlings, I make the strips 2 feet wide and plant right through the mulch and paper, letting grass grow between the rows.

I also sometimes make wider beds for sprawling fruits and vegetables like melons.

Thanks,Scott! I was wondering how your system would work when direct sowing.
