It took me less than an hour to reposition the raise bed, also an opportunity to re-mixed the soil mixture. When I was doing that I found a lot of earthworms, which was good and also 4 white grubs - not too good.
This afternoon , decided to reposition one of the old 2x4 raised bed to make way for another new 2x4. It was so easy, just lift the frame up. and since I have some sprouting and live plants on it, I have to carefully transplant them over.
You can see from the pictures below.
Make another 2x4 for cabbages, yesterday. Add sprinkler system. You  can see that the sprinkler is working. 1 sprinkler head is good for a 2 ft sq. or a 3 ft sq. A much better irrigation system  plan than the one which I had from last year. Less sprinkler heads also means less water wastage.
