I am awaiting pics, sounds great to me, try it and keep us posted.

I use my old canning lids and a set of punches from harbor freight. Punch the name of the veggie, plant, tree or whatever, poke a hole in it hang it from a piece of wire or bailing string. Guaranteed not to wash off or fade, problems I have had with sharpies and blinds. An added plus is they swing in the wind and are shiny which spooks some of the foraging critters.

Thanks CJ

I would plant trees on the downhill side of your bed, that way the tree can get to the water easily. Plant things around the top of the mound that don't mind dry periods as it will dry out first. Once the bed has some ground cover on it and shades the earth, your bed will stay at a more constant moisture level. There are no real "rules" in the end, just try whatever ideas you come up with, try them. Hope that was of a little help.

Just for your info, that mulberry tree will be enormous, you might consider moving it away from your fence a little.

Thanks for all the replies and links. Sorry your potted plant isint fairing well.

thanks for the replies, guess I will try my luck at live plants on ebay

Does anyone have starts of camellia sinensisis, tea, willing to trade? I am close to Athens, Ga. I have some fig starts or other plants I can barter with. Thanks
