Very impressive layout and the block wall is the sign of a professional. Where does the water come from for your tank and what is the mulch on the slope? I use expensive city water on my garden and have to use pressure reducers on my drip lines. I watered everything really good the past few days and now radar is showing some serious rain just offshore >;(

Thanks! Since I’m on a hill there and I’m using raised beds, I had to terrace the hill and needed a retaining wall. I still do not have a retaining wall (only need 12 to 18 inches) on the upper level.

The water tank will be filled by a pump from the rain barrels I have next to the house. Thats the only difficult part of the process. I don’t know what will be more expensive, the electricity to pump the water, or the water if I just filled it from the garden hose?
