I wouldnt go through all that trouble again You know better then anyone the quality of those beds, if you already mulched last year after turning the beds, I would plant this year, apply good fertilizers to my plants, and re-mulch after plantings are in. In the fall I purchase the dehydrated cow manure and work that into the soil. Each year the mulch breaks down, the manure and dead plants break down, and before you know it, you have a great soil that your plants will love I also dump my coffee grinds all winter throughout my beds too. If earthworms are any indicator of soil quality, then I am doing great.
Lots of Luck

i've heard of the coffee ground thingy too, but not sure what its for! i've also heard something about eggshells, but do you test your soil first before adding these things or can you just toss them in? were suppose to be in the high 40's this week...woooohooooo!! snowed last night though....ugh!!

I use coffe grounds as well as egg shells in my compost crush the egg shells before you put them in. Basically if it comes out of my kithcen the extra goe into my compost pile that means any veggie trimmings as onion ends lettuce leaves etc. Put it in the compost pile instead of the garbage.
