Neighbor asked why my raised beds look so bad, and his one tip fixed 6 months of work
He pointed out I was filling the beds all the way to the top with soil, so every time it rained the water just ran right off instead of soaking in. I dropped the soil level 3 inches below the frame and my tomatoes finally stopped wilting by July. Anyone else run into this, or am I the only one who didn't think about drainage?

My grandpa's 40-year-old beds in Ohio sat 4 inches below the rim and he never lost a plant.
