Less weeds since the beds and the paths are heavily mulched.
Better soil structure (friability, bacteria, fungus, worms) since soil in the beds is left undisturbed and uncompressed.
Less watering since rain pools in the paths and then is slowly released under the beds. Mulching helps to keep moisture in the soil.
Compare soil in the raised beds (Beds 1-16) to the flat beds (Beds 17-26). Also, compare these soils to that in Bed 27. Beds 27 was created in the Fall of 2014. Beds 1-16 were built in the Spring of 2015.
See Produce Garden for what is in this year's beds.
