Yes they do. Mine got set back badly last year by mice gnawing on it though. I just had three raised beds put in (4x8x18") and will be putting heavy duty posts on the north end (4') of each. Then heavy duty grid of fence material attached. I read that I can then get my squash, zuchinni, cucumbers to climb up them. For the heavier fruits you attach nylon bags to take the weight off the stem. Will see how that works.
Right now I am mixing up soil for the top of one box: 1/3 each compost, peat moss, vermiculite. Using 5 different kinds of compost per the books instructions. I want to see if that makes an appreciable difference in the growth.
