My first raised bed wasn't even half built before I learned that I had to improve the drainage before I could improve the clay.

Now I either dig a slit trench to a lower spot, and then slope the floor of the bed down to the trench, or I make the raised beds entirely above grade. And "above grade" frustrates me, because I WANT to improve the soil and have roots going down deeper than they could before.

I also do that to get Tables into DG posts.

I didn't know that I could just right click and save as an image. After I got a cropped image in the Word doc, I would copy it to the Clipboard, then paste it into an empty JPG in MS Office. For some reason, that automatically saves it as a new image file.
