Some progress pics....coincidentally had to replace some tires and wheels off of one of the tractors (calcium chloride is REALLY hard on steel) and decided to try an experiment.

In addition to some standard U shaped SMB beds with larger rocks making the 'shelter' area and gravel in the bed, I decided to try making some raised beds with the tires and wheels...







Not sure of their effectiveness but I can say that if they work the odds of them getting silted over is lessened greatly.
