VIDEO: Fixing an Old Raised Garden Bed Design!


See the NEW raised beds I use today: https://shop.epicgardening.com/ DIY raised garden beds are probably the first project anyone has when they get into urban gardening. My 30-minute, no-tool garden bed was a video I made back when I was first setting up the Epic Garden, so I wanted to travel through time and look at it with 4 more years of gardening experience under my belt!

  1. As a life long farmer and an agronomist of 5 years I’m quite impressed with your growth and knowledge. Raised bed videos interest me because of the expensive side of it to get it going. There is an artificial soil term called Terra Preta or black Earth from the Amazon rain frorest where people would add manure, bio-char, pottery and bones to the soil and over time it would become very tilthy and would attract microbes

  2. I have to grow raised beds, if I get down on the ground, I can't get back up. I want to make my backyard into a farm but I have very little to no money. How do I start? What should I do first.

  3. Well Kevin, after watching this video, I showed it to my husband. He loved the way you put that together and he got this look on his face that I knew meant we were headed to Lowe’s later on. Yep, and that helped us to demarcate the new section of the garden, as wel do container gardening. The soil where we live is mostly clay, and if you dig down too far, it’s brackish water. Growing in tubs and buckets have been much easier. Thanks for showing this.

  4. I was worried when I first saw this video- I just used the old one to make two beds! Luckily it looks like you wouldn't have changed much. I really appreciate the retrospective and update to the old video. Thanks!

  5. I have a question about how to amend the soil when you grow vegetables in the containers (before or during the growing session). I found my zucchini plants didn't produce fruits that well. They turned yellowish and shrunken in size. And my second succession of lettuce didn't grow so well either. I assumed it's because I used the same pot for second round of growing, the soil has used out the nutrient. Kevin or anyone out there, do you have any advice for this problem???

  6. Just watched this and the original back to back, and I'm really happy that I've picked up enough over the last year of watching gardening videos that I immediately saw several of the errors you explained here! Always learning, always improving. 🙂 Now if only I had a space of my own where I could put more of them into practice…

  7. If 6 inches isn't deep enough with cheap soil, would it be worth digging down a few inches? (I realize that raises the difficulty level a few notches with all the digging, and that wouldn't work if the bed is on a hard surface)
