If you cleaned out the middle and
rejuvenated the soil, would they creep back inward? I’ve done similar with mushroom and
strawberry patches. The outward movement is due to depletion of nutrients
in the older parts of the beds. With fresh, attractive, soil, the
plants/fungi move back in. With mushroom beds, a circle does form,
and it’s just a matter of tilling in whatever type of organic matter the
particular fungi likes. With strawberry beds, I tilled half of each wide
bed (alternating sides by year) and the beds kept themselves young, healthful,
and fruitful. Got fruit much
faster by letting the beds replant themselves with runners than by setting out ‘new’
plants. Stephen Sadler, Ph.D. USDA 9, AHS heat zone 8, From:
