Jeannine, I actually like the fact the WOWs help to keep some rain water out. We had rainy weather almost every day, cold and wet for sure. It's hard to collect solar energy when there's little sunshine, but my plants did grow considerally under the water tepees so I think they work well.

My goal is not to try to get an early tomato, but to make sure my tomatoes will have a couple of weeks of head start, so they may ripen ahead of the fall rain, which often leads to late blight in my area.
I hope this helps.
