Wonderful! Hard work always pays off. Have you considered deep wood mulch? If helps soil to build and is extremely easy to weed.

Haven't! I've considered throwing straw in between the rows but not mulch.
Is it expensive to buy?
I get mulch from the power company and they dump it by the truck load. Some cities also have free mulch.
oh snap! Thanks! I"m going to check it out!!
