Well, if you looked closely, you'd see the rows are a bit crooked,lol. My neighbor is a truck farmer, and has one. He gives me the ends of the plastic rolls, and I just put them down by hand. It sure does make for easier gardening. I use each row two years, then pull them up. Usually tomatoes one year, and then peppers, egg plant the next. I have more space then I need, so I cover half with a tarp and, rotate. I plant the vine plants next to the tarp and let them run on top of it. My Grandma was an avid gardener, and I learned a lot from her. She used to let me have a small area for a garden of my very own, so I've been growing things since I was about 8 years old. My mother just wasn't a gardener, although, I remember my dad would do some veggie gardening at times. By the time I was about 12, I had a pretty nice veggie garden going. Funny how I'm still learning, so much to learn.
