One Bottle Down...or..... Getting to the Root of the Problem.
When you plant your garden try to be aware of surrounding trees and shrubs like cedars. The cedar roots sent a few tap roots under the pathway which bloomed into an almost solid mat of tendrils. These roots insinuated themselves into the moist nutrient rich soil and sucked it dry like i almost did to the bottle of wine it took to dig this trench last nite. I will make a root/moisture barrier out of lumber tarp and cedar siding to prevent this from reoccurring. No wonder i was having so few strawberries and peas from along this side of the garden!
