I am not a lover of raised beds even mote so with this warm weather we seem to be getting. I think they dry out to quick and any veg you put in has that extra depth to go to get moisture. So i can always be doing this while i am doing some thing else.

Do like the look of that, davyw1. Very neat! Is the water drawn from mains? I fancy having something like that but it'd have to be seep hose, gravity fed, as there's no mains water. One day, when I get around to it ;D

we've put some of them in the poly, from lidl, I think..we do have mains water and it saves so much time, also, it delivers the water where it's needed, at the roots

Yes we are lucky enough to have water mains but we put in ourselves. Dug all the trenches, laid the pipe, 1 tap to every four garden back to the water board connection and they did the rest.
It is a great time save and its only an old bit of hose with holes drilled in.

Hi
I want to put something in on my plot as its on a slope the water would flow down the site.
As i am putting more beds in this year i have delayed putting anything in for the moment.
I have left it as my project over christmas :)

They are good for raised beds.
Bought some on the last Lidl sale. Think I paid a pound each for them, great value. Has cost me more in connectors to join them.
Trouble is put them down at the end of April and had no need of them since :-\ but I will I suppose over the summer months.
