Got a second bed finally finished! The first bed has overflows to the second bed so that when monsoons hit the sheeting water should (in theory) flow from one bed to the next but the berms behind the sunken beds should help absorb and store more water and keep the soil wet. Our native soil is a sandy loam, barely loam, so there will be good drainage. According to the drillers reports of the surrounding area wells there is clay starting a few feet down which should also help keep the water on our property rather then just running out to the wash below us, especially once we install swells on the property.

Three beds down, nine to go.
