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.

Still better than watering 4 times a day The water savings to produce that food and then as a result reduced nutrients required would be very significant indeed.
