West Texas heat cooks thin plastic and dries open piles overnight. Closed composters with staged chambers keep moisture steadier, and raised beds with reservoirs give tomatoes and peppers a buffer between irrigation days.
At Eastside Discount Nursery we stock multi-stage bins, bed kits, and planters meant for sunny exposures—not coastal shade gardens. Position beds where they get morning sun and a little afternoon relief from a wall or shade cloth, and mulch the surface to cut evaporation.
