Building a Covered Bed

I found some 5 foot lengths of black pipe at the local Menard's store.
They are called black flexible water pipes.
I like them ,because they are precut and I can put them in my car without looking like an idiot driving through town with PVC pipes sticking out of my back window.
Although, I still buy the PVC pipes sometimes - seems like I can't avoid looking like an idiot - at least occasionally.
OK continuing with the tutorial!
I also used a few branches, cut into 8 inch lengths, to hold the pipe in the soil, but I think I may end up using some kind of bracket instead, because the hoops tend to fall over when it rains and the soil gets soft.

Stick, soil, pipe.

Cover with row cloth.
