Garden In Progress

I have all four of my 4' x 4' raised beds constructed. I spent the better part of today digging the sod out from under these beds and lining the bottoms with weed fabric. I had read that you could forgo digging up the sod but in my experience that has never worked and within a few months grass will work its way up through the garden despite 6 inches of topsoil obstructing the sunlight.

Tomorrow I hope to complete the last of the sod removal and then I can fill the beds with composted topsoil.
