[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5216663, member: 5787"] This method definitely was worth it and grew very well. I had a timer set to water for 30-40 minutes every morning around 6am. There was no rhyme or reason I came to that timing. I think I started out at an hour and it just seemed excessive so I backed off that amount of time. Our neighbors were asking what type of soil I used, because everything was growing so tall. Definitely learned a lot from it. I never knew okra would grow to 9 feet tall and it was on my front row and got to where it was blocking a lot of the sun from everything else. We had more okra than we could eat. Tons of tomatoes - I had 109 on my kitchen counter at one point. I made salsa and marinara and canned them. I won't use those fencing trellises again for the vining squash, cucumbers, etc....I'll move to a pole or rope for them to climb. Some of the stuff in the middle was hard to pick weaseling through all the greenery. Next year, I'm going to not plant the center of each of the three boxes - I'm going to have a 2X10" piece of lumber to lay across so I can stand on and access the middle. [/QUOTE]
