I hope it works well. I'm glad to hear square foot gardening is working so well for you, too. Someone suggested once that you can simply split open a bag of soil mix and plant a tomato pplant or potatoes right in it. That's about as instant as it gets. Interesting idea. I hope it works well.

The black plastic will keep the grass and weeds out and the topsoil bags provide a garden bed for my new plants. At the end of the season, I'll remove the black plastic and dump the soil from the bags into this spot. Which, next spring will be another 4x8 raised bed that I'll add to my square foot garden! @Thom,
