  1. Hello, Thank you for this great video! Would you happen to have a video of how you built the raise bed? What kind of wood did you use and the dimensions? Is it availabe at Home Depot? Thanks!

  2. I planted one of my raised garden beds with green beans. The plants died from disease and harmful insects. Should I replace all the soil in this bed before planting again? The bed is 1.5 foot by 6 foot. The bed is 2ft deep and is waist high. Thank you.

  3. I live in San Diego and Followed step-by-step using your garden soil method for my raised bed. I have so many little flies flying over the composted chicken manure during the day. What and how do you get rid of them?

  4. Thank you so much for this. All the other people I have run into trying to make a good mix use hard to find things or expensive things or just like make it so complicated. This was extremally helpful.

  5. I have always used hardware cloth on the bottom of my raised beds to keep burrowing critters out. I no longer use cardboard or newspaper at the bottom. I like Morage Gamble's no dig way of gardening. It could be applied to a framed in raised bed.
