Re: Raised Wicking Veggie Bed Thread - with photos 57Jan 31, 2011 5:38 am That looks great! Very solid and well made. Yes, I know the feeling when you fill it up the first time. I was sure we had a leak somewhere. In the hot weather (with no rain) I'm having to refill the beds once every 4 or 5 days. I think it's because established plants such as the tomatoes have so much leaf surface area, and in the hot weather they are losing a higher percentage of water through their leaves.

The beans and snow peas also had a very short season. We are on to the second planting of zucchini. I have a few cherry tomato seedlings ready to go in, and may get a second crop if the weather stays warm for the next couple of months.

Thanks so much for the info. Just a quick question please... Does the shorter of your 2 beds work as well as the taller one? I'm thinking of doing a bed 2 sleepers high and want to ensure that it will still give me enough reserves for the water storage/wicking thing.
