Well done...and more than nice and pretty. Its functional. Excellent technique for clay soils.
Took me a few years to figure it out but yes it is functional for my clay soil.
Took some pictures last night

IMO too much wasted space. But rather remarkable.
My concept this year is to have the sun heat the roots of the tomato plants and by doing the wasted space between the rows makes watering easy. I pull a 50 gallon water tank on a cart behind a golf cart and use an old RV water pump with 45 psi output and can water the plants while driving the golf cart. Very quite and peaceful that’s how my day starts and it takes from 6 am to 8 am. I use about 140 gallons each day making sure that just the plants get the water and not the whole garden. I like looking at the garden from my air conditioned lawnmower
Been a bit since my last post the Lemon Cucumbers are very tasty. They look like tennis ball size light yellow with like a naval orange indention. Lots of tomato blooms.
The Bees seem to really like the Lemon Cucumber blooms
They seem to be doing ok
Spent some time in my south smaller garden today. The basil and carrots seem to be doing good and some tomato plants are getting some height to them. In the last picture my larger garden can also be seen.
We had some rain last night so I got a break from my morning watering so after breakfast took some pictures of both gardens with the Wife and guard dogs. the carrots and basil are also looking good.
Took some tomato pictures from 10 different plants last night.
