Will be building a few of these over the winter.

Question: I know there are 3 overflow holes on the water resevoir below the platform but what happens in heavy rains when the bucket is top watered? Does the planting media get into the water chamber due to the media saturation? Is the shelf tight fitting in the bucket to prevent media from getting into water chamber?

Again, great tutorial!
