Thank you
@Baja_Costero I only watered about twice this year, but when I put the bed in I made sure it had very good drainage, busted the dirt up well and mixed in some gravel. It's elevated about 5 or 6 feet above street level. I figured the drainage was critical since the area behind it is a compost pile that probably feeds everything for a 10 ft range when it rains.
That compost pile is about 6 ft by 10 ft and 3 or 4 ft high before I raid it for the garden, mostly pond waste.
