I've spent a lot of time working with my friend and contractor to decide on the best way to design the beds and here is what we have so far. Here is the basic bed with hardware cloth on the bottom to keep out the gophers.
The bed is just about filled with the soil mix, which is 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 vermiculite. It's so loose you can put your hand to the bottom.
Next step is to hook up the irrigation system. We have decided to use a drip emitter system which can water itself via the lawn sprinkler system. Then Dieter will build the sides. We need sides with screens to keep out the animals.
