  1. Great tip. My cheap bed boards would probably fall apart. But next year I might Add some more robust beds. This is my first year outdoor gardening. I don't have anything in the ground yet but my starts are coming up. My aquaponic bed has been suplimenting me for a year now. You have been a big part of my moving to more focus on food security. I started composting last year in prep for this year. I'm largely using heirloom seeds. I'm also in the process of upgrading my small aquaponic bed into a double IBC build. I'm out of work so free time helps move things along.

  2. Good info curtis. With the ammount of raised beds you have and the greenhouse how much roughly of your own food are you growing and do you think if you had to that amount of current bed and greenhouse space could supply 100% of your food?

  3. how long are these beds and do they have any cross supports to prevent bowing? just screwed in butt joints on end? About to build some 3.5'x12' beds with 2"x10" doug fir boards stacked two high. Was going to use 2×4 cross members in the middle to prevent bowing. Good idea?

  4. Charles Dowding walks right over the middle of his beds! He says a little compaction from the steps improves soil structure and gives more firm material for the roots to hold onto.. Great content! Good luck with the spring prep! -Ben

  5. Hey Curtis I was wondering if you knew of a packaging company to get veggie boxes to deliver to resturants for leafy greens and head greens? What would you do? Thank you

  6. Irk anything about farming. But I’d love to retire on one. I fee like farming is the easy part. And selling your product, is the hard part. ESP for someone like me whose has no experience with farmers at all.
