2. Really thorough outline of your process. Thanks for sharing. I’m about to
   build a similar, but smaller bed (6′ x 3′) on my south facing wood deck and
   was in need of a drainage solution to keep the top of the deck from staying
   waterlogged. This looks very straightforward and doable, even for someone
   with somewhat limited building experience like me. I’ll probably route the
   drainage into some other nearby containers.

   After accounting for installation of the sub irrigation tubes, how deep is
   the soil? Any idea how much water is used to fill the bed to the point
   that it drains out the other end? How often do you re-fill during the
   growing season?
