Our soil is crap: mostly red clay with a light skin of what could pass for dirt. We used a ton of big box store (also crap) dirt in these raised beds and have supplemented with a ton of composted horse manure. Due to the extreme (incipient drought) lack of rain I’ve kept adding a ton of old horse hay mulch and watered as needed. Plants have filled in the bed and are around 4 feet tall.

Looking fantastic and huge for the time they’ve been going! I started mine mid march and the tallest isn’t half the size
