The spring/summer went by so quick and I didn't have much time to post so here is a quick update. The water collection system and completely automated drip irrigation system worked perfectly over the summer. It worked so well that we are expanding our storage from 7500 gallons to 15,000 gallons! There is 12 yards of gravel piled in the driveway waiting for me to move it and level the space for the new tanks that will be arriving next week! Overall it's been great and we already can't wait until next growing season!

The raised beds are made from recycled metal we found on Craigslist, I cut and welded them together and we put a quick coat of paint on to shine them up.

All of the lighting and irrigation is underground with only a hose bib type connection in the inside corner of each raised bed. There are 7 other in-ground boxes like this one.

I built a tunnel trellis for things like squash and cucumbers to vine on.
