Thank you so much for the shout out, I was wondering where the additional subs were coming from. Love the information on the raised beds and I agree with the width being about 4 feet across.

Very nice & clean garden you have. Nice job.
Great tips @HuwsNursery and a nice shout out to @***** !
I'm liking the new intro, :o)
Great tips for raised beds! I just built some new ones recently, and I agree, 4 ft wide if you have access to both sides is the perfect width. Mine were 2 ft wide against a fence with access one one side only and I'm so glad I didn't make them any wider. I can just reach to the other side to tend to my plants! Thanks, Huw!
Very good video and so nice of you to give a shout out to Vegitate.
These are great tips how I would leave out the railway timbers. They are soaked in Creosote which has been banned in many countries.
I build 4' wide bed if I can have access from all sides; otherwise, I build 2.5' if up against a wall or fence. Did I see you putting plastic on the beds? How does that work for drainage? Does it not block earth worms? I used to use weed cloth, which is permeable, but then I realized I had not worms in my beds. I'm not sure if the cloth blocks them or there simply aren't any on my lot. In any case, I now only use cardboard for weed suppression and 2" layer of mulch, then I fill the remainder of the beds with compost.
why do you need raised beds at all? Assuming you're not gardening on concrete, surely the soil carries on downwards far enough for a carrot not to start poking through the ceiling of hell or whatever's down there?
Your garden is so big
Rail way timers can have harmful chemicals
Stodoys has a very large project base.
I see that you are using heavy, thick boards. Could you share what is the thickness of your boards, and how long do they last?
