I agree, tends to dry up in the summer, but it is still nice to have.

Jealous no...mad yes. I always come home with dirt, straw or much in the cuffs of my pants and leave it strewn all over the house :)

I'm worried you will be disappointed when that video comes out here in a couple weeks.... as I opted to buy vs build :( They do look very nice though, almost have them full of dirt (so much dirt needed), and will be ready to plan after last frost the first of May.

Filling them to the top, so for the shorter ones there will be about 11" of soil, and 17" in the taller ones. In the short ones I'm going to use 2 of 4 for strawberries, that way I will not have to replant them every year. For the other two short beds I'm going to build a bridging trellis and try and grow cucumbers. For the smaller / taller beds, one will get the blueberries I had to relocate to build the water harvesting system, one will be reserved for mints, another for herbs, another for garlic I think, and the last one I'm thinking flowers :)

Sounds like a plan. I'd wish you luck, but "luck" has nothing to do with it. Therefore, I hope you have fun with the process and enjoy the fruits of your labors!@@TryNewThings
