A neighbor's 10 minute rant saved my raised beds
I built 4 cedar raised beds last spring and was proud of the work. Then a neighbor who gardens for a living walked over and said my soil mix was too dense for root veggies. He showed me how the top inch was crusting over after watering. I changed to a 50/40/10 mix of compost, peat, and perlite and added drip lines. Carrots and beets went from stunted to solid in about 6 weeks. Anyone else have a random neighbor call out a fix that actually worked better than all the YouTube advice?

Wait, are you really about to rebuild your whole setup over some carrots? I mean, sure, drip lines are nice but that crust thing happens all the time and most stuff still grows fine.
