>>1262535Sounds like a good plan. Does your area have loose stones, like in small stream beds or is there dead fall from trees you can use? As bed boarders I mean. Anything is better than nothing at the edge of the mound for the beds. It just needs to be able to keep soil movement in check for long enough until you get whatever you want for a permanent boarder.
>>1262675It is a smorgasbord oasis in the middle of an desert. Every gastropod and isopod in the area will make a bee line to it and happily munch away. This of course will be the end of your seedlings. You need to protect them. I'm using cheap plastic party cups with the bottoms cut out as a little wall around my seedlings. The upper section of the cups have a layer of petroleum jelly, just under the rim on the outside, to further prevent anything from climbing up and into the oasis.
