So far so good. I wish it was a little bigger. The worms I bought are doing a great job but I have not pulled out any compost to use yet. I also have 4 of the largest gardens and reworked the layout into one large U shape, one small square and one oval. This summer our prize harvest was our two huge watermelons that were 44 and 48 pounds each! We also got 7 other watermelons from that one same plant. We had success with our tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, herbs (especially basil), zucchini, strawberries and green beans. Getting ready for a socal fall planting next. Yay. Love my Vego garden!
