Does one need to rotate crops in raised beds ?
OH MY GOODNESS!!! MY HUSBAND BUILT MY HUGE 16 BY 16 FOOT GARDEN AND USED CREOSOTE WOOD. IF WE TAKE THEM OUT WILL THE CREOSOTE STILL BE IN THE SOIL?
LOVE LOVE your Gilroy Garlic festival shirt! Hope you tried the ice cream 😉
I'm from Gilroy!!!
Great video and advice. Thanks. Marshall Hosel
Treated lumber has chemicals that can leach into your soil
I know from a previous video you do not use weed barrier in your beds, but do you use a water barrier liners on the sides to prolong your wood life?
Nice video learned how to make bed – was quite scared on how to do it.
I was wondering u talk about how long and how wide but how tall should i build the raised bed gadens
What about concrete? Is it safe for the bottom of your raised bed to be made of concrete?
That looks like 7 inches max, I think your wife is a kind lady 🙂
I'm really liking your videos. I do a raised garden here in Tennessee but have always felt I'm making mistakes. I found around 3 in your video that I'm doing lol. I'm originally from Wyandotte, MI–our yards did not look like yours. I think we had lot sizes of 120×40 lol.
My beds are 2.5 and 3 feet tall and the bottom of them I filled with dead timber laying on the property. I can not tell you how nice it is to be able to work the garden and not be bent over and crawling on the ground. Yes this was more expensive but the cost is well worth the convenience. My soil is a mix of mushroom compost, some screened topsoil, and peat moss. In the future I will fill with all mushroom compost.
Let’s get to it!
I want to make raised beds But just a few weeks ago I went to builders supply and one treated 2x4x8 was 7.17 I could not believe how much wood has skyrocketed. Even non treated is almost the same . Hope it comes down soon .
Watching this while its sleeting in louisiana. Yep feels so nice.
Isn't creosote in fireplace ashes? Because a lot of people think it's a good idea to put those in a garden and I put a bunch in mine. Is that actually bad?
Can you use galvanized steel tubs such as watering troughs?
I hope that you or someone can answer my question: if I remove the sod from under my raised beds, would I need 10-12”above ground level for my crops? What if I tilled that top portion then placed my beds?
Love your Gilroy Garlic Festival t-shirt. Been many years since I’ve been, but I loved those festivals.
I’m in the middle of deciding on raised bed build and this was useful. Thank you.
Great job getting information about TOXIC Chemicals seeping in ur ground. I hate those DIY tire and other dangerous item garden Idea videos
Are you using wood chips as mulch on the top of the bed??? Don't those leech nitrogen??
wait… so I do the Raised Bed Gardeners, "Bob's Mix." I use 1-part peet, 1-part compost, 1-part vermiculite… and you are saying I do not need the vermiculite?
Like my cinder block raised beds.
Minors lettace!!!!!
All I wanted to know was the height of his beds and he never said.
That shirt you are wearing was designed by my late brother. It is one of the last pieces of his art still being used. The Garlic Festival is this week, I think, drive thru. Thanks for wearing the shirt!
Thank you.
