Wasn’t ready to commit to a raised bed yet, but the trellis could be relocated in the future if needed. Did go ahead and setup a drip irrigation system (Texas summers).
In the trellis I have 5 San marzano, 5 Cherokee purple, and 5 giant Belgian pink plants. The staked ones are super sweet 100 cherries. All started from seeds with solo cups & grow lights in my garage. Empty bags are planned for peppers, but they’re not quite ready to transplant yet.
Open to any feedback or improvements I can incorporate! Thanks

Looks great, very heavy duty and handsome arbor.
I’m considering trying the low and lean system this summer. Curious to follow your experience.
Can’t tell from the picture but do you only have a single drip emitter in the center of those large pots or is it a micro sprinkler? If drip you may need to add a couple more to ensure even coverage for the entire pot.
where did you get those drip pans? very nice set up. once everything gets up to speed you may have fun getting to the center row
My concern is that the concrete slab will absorb a ton of heat and cook the roots, especially in conjunction with the black fabric bags, which will also absorb a lot of heat. Is it possible for you to put a few bricks underneath the drip pans to get airflow under them? And maybe wrap the bags with a light-colored fabric?
Damn first time!? Great effort this looks incredible. Please update us as the season goes on.
How many gallons are the big bags? I need to find some and not sure what size to buy
