In this video I show one of the methods I use to rest a garden bed and control weeds in the vegetable garden. Plus, I chat about collecting seeds, the transition from spring to summer and more!

Hi Mark. Nice touch with the mower. Keeps thing neat and tidy.
Nice one Mark.
From Marco
Soon, you're using your army spade gizmo. I went and bought one because of you 🙂
Nicely done Mark! That was fun to watch. It's getting cooler here in SW Florida (zone 10a). My beds are going through a similar transition as well. I hope you enjoy your growing season.
good update, take care
Boy I love your videos! Having so many problems this year, I missed a lot of planting and harvesting videos, and watching you through the winter here, will be a huge plus for me. I especially liked this one. I've been wanting to toss my "greens" right on top of my beds too, but since so few do that here, I wasn't sure if I should try it. Now that I know it works, I will be doing that from now on. I've read a lot about it, but methods are so different in so many climates here, you never know unless you try. So, I'm now going to try.! I also love the way you just toss the weeds into the grass. That one I did know. I had someone that cut the grass and weeds at my beach property, and it has fed the ground for years now, and that area is now going to be where my new raised beds are going. It hasn't been touched for over 60 years other than to cut the grass, and I can't wait to see how the soil is in the spring. I do know that it has a LOT of top soil that would not be there, had it not been for the grass and weed cutting over so many years. The other soils there are all sand, and mine is as dark as coal. Great video!!! Sheila PS I'm so happy to hear that you took time off to be with your wife. I love to hear about it, when someone lives, what is really important to them.
Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day
Looks beautiful Mark! I love that we are in different hemispheres because I can gleen information from you and take notes for when we get ready for our season. Blessings brother!
Well…..You are starting summer, and we are starting winter : ( Oh well at least the greenhouse is kicking butt! Cheers, Buddy!
Mowers make the best mulchers & would be 10 times the fun being a ride on 😀
Cheer Mark.
How did you make those circle raised beds?
Hi Mark Great update mate !! Your not making mistakes, your just keeping it real for us !! Keep up the great work bubby, Seeya Rob
Ah, I knew there was something shifty about you. You're a Carlton supporter!
Lots of good information there Mark. Still waiting for winter to arrive here been a very mild fall.
Just found your channel. I love your round raised beds(corrugated metal). Wish I could get them in FL, they'd be great in my garden!
Carlton? come on mate.. I thought u were better then that :p
I greet you. I know the language a little, and sorry for my mistakes. My country is not used to growing in elevated beds. I will try to do it. (Amateur). I want to ask you about how much height is good to be easy. Round beds look fantastic. Thank you.
thank you very much. At last I will rest! I will start working, of course as an amateur. I greet you from Greece. Thanks again.
I was curious about the importance of water when resting a bed, however i see now without water the weed seeds will die and if you're resting a bed for a month i feel the microbes and worms should be okay. Also the rain water could come in around the bed to keep those beneficial microbes watered, fingers crossed!
