  no sir...matter of fact, the cement farm is the best growing area I have...the soil is 16" deep which is plenty enough for tomatos and peppers in their first year IMO...and the blocks provide a "THERMOS" type insulation from the direct sun...it drains well being that the bottom of the bed is 8...
