@RumPunch I think that's an awesome idea you got there... but I see a problem.
This one looks like a salsa planter... no?
So here is the problem I see... It is way overcrowded. I typically plant my peppers 3 feet apart. It looks to me like you have 8 pepper plants planted in half of that planter.... and cilantro and onion sets. I don't see any tomato plants but I will say that there is no room for any either. I also think your soaker hose should be on top of your dirt.... where they're at now will really only keep the sand wet.
I guess you can see how it does... but I have my doubts. I think one good pepper plant... one good tomato plant... some onion around to outer rim and maybe one cilantro plant is still pushing the limits of one planter.
Just trying to help... not that I know anything about growing tomatoes and peppers.
