For my next project, I'm taking apart these old raised beds, using them to make one large one, adding a liner, plumbing, left over aquaponics media (expanded clay pebbles), screen and lanscape fabric to separate the aquifer, then soil. It's gonna be a badass wicking bed. It's April and already hot as hell down here in TX, so it'll be nice not having to waste water every day. #grownostr #buildonnostr #homesteading #texas

I’m in texas 8b

I had a similar idea for my new raised bed in Tennessee. Liner, gravel, weed mat, grow media. Finger dip in the overflow hole to make sure it’s topped up. I’m off gris so no running water yet. The water tower is for another day.
