I couldn't do any more digging today as my back was in full protest about the digging I did yesterday. So it goes. I did get to take some photos.
It doesn't look like I removed much soil, but I've taken out two wheel barrow loads of soil just on that one end of the bed. The loose soil you see in the photos rolled down to the bottom of the bed where I reached soil I couldn't break up with a hand mattock.
There is a space blocked out of the beds to allow air to go through the air vents under the house. Yeah, I need to clean that out, too.
I hope these photos give you a clearer idea of what I am dealing with and can help me come up with a plan.
Thanks in advance for looking and all suggestions.
