I prepared my first row of vegetables yesterday. I prepared the row by forming it in a mound, then placing a flora flow watering mat on the row. The flora flow is a plastic mulch with a low drip irrigation line already in the mat. There are also pre-punched holes to place the plants. The mat is 4 feet wide - and you cover the sides with dirt to keep the wind from getting under the mat.
I planted about napa cabbage plants yesterday. I was shocked to see each plant was chewed down to the stem either by rabbits or ground squirrels. Not a single plant was spared. All my work became a Thanksgiving salad bar. Here are some pictures of the rows with the Flora Flow mats in place and after I planted the cabbage plants.
