VERY VERY NICE - I like most of your projects. Just one suggestion, and I don't know if that will be of value for you. I have to watering controllers. I changed both of them to Rachio 3 controllers. Mainly because one is at the house and one is at the lake. They have been excellent permitting me to monitor them from anywhere. With an overflow sensor, it may help with the water level consistency. It does require wifi which would require a cable to the house. Might not be worth the trouble, especially if you are home most of the time.
Very nice work. Thanks for all the photos.

For now we're home a lot, that might change in a year.
Each dripper is controllable and I've been adjusting to avoid wasting the water.

I saw YouTube planters where they put rocks in bottom, cloth, than dirt. They have a fill tube into the rock level and put water in the rock layer, with an overflow at top of rocks. They just keep rocks full of water, which wicks up to the plants.

Wish I had seen that, I drilled holes in the bottom of the planters for drainage.

Here's an update on the growth.
We took a 10 day road trip back to New Hampshire to pick up a new trailer, we came back to this. Phenominal growth and now were eating crook neck squash, cucumbers, peppers the tomatoes are still green but coming along nicely.
Also the trailer we picked up.
