Today Melissa and I put together a small, quick, easy, inexpensive raised garden bed. We used more Red Pine that I sawed on the Woodmizer LX 150 Sawmill.

Love the raised bed build and and we can not wait to see what you all might be raising.

@juniorjones4082 4 года назад

Nice raised bed,I'll tell you a story about my first raised bed,,I used 2x8 lumber ,filled it with soil consisting of peat moss,compost and topsoil all mixed together in a cement mixer,the mixer did a great job,then I wanted to plant carrots,I made straight lines in my soil 6" apart and then I planted my carrot seed sparingly ,when harvest time came I had beautiful carrots,the only mistake I made was the soil was not deep enough,so my carrots grew until they hit the hard soil below and they turned to form a 90degree angle,I sure worked hard to get those carrots out.true story,now I set them in half barrels off the ground about waist high,it's also easy on your back,.

Hello Melissa & Mike. Sorry I am so late. Out doing yard work since early this morning in New Brunswick Canada. Just a little info, if I am not to late. If you fill the garden up to the 2 x 4's with dirt the grass should not come through. The ussual rule is 8 inches of dirt and the grass will not come through, but if you want to add extra protection from grass, line the bottom with corrigated cardboard, then add your soil. Great channel, thanks for the entertainment. PS: I did my beds 20 inches high, but then used the hugelkultur way. I lined the bottom with old rotting logs and dead trees, grass clipings and then dirt.

@edwardkenny2356 4 года назад

Good morning, Mike and Melissa. Raised beds! I love the appearance, ease of use and versatility. They can be made out of just about anything, any configuration. Having easy access to the entire planting area just encourages me to get out there in the fresh air. Can't wait to see what you fill them up with. 🌳🌹🌱🌼🌻🌾☘🍀🌺

That could be a sand box for Ty too. That was a great outro too.

@addisongardner1989 4 года назад

Mike and Melissa, we cut 18" pieces of 6 mill poly to staple to the inside surfaces of our pine planter boxes. Let the plastic excess run back under the planting soil, and it keeps water and soil organisms from attacking the wood fibers. Ours have been in place for many years, with very little rotting issues. Like the "Morgans, Off-Leash" moniker a lot. Blue Bird day in Colorado, so more nice weather headed your way.

@kevinmason3573 4 года назад

Great job on the plant boxes. You can use cardboard in the bottom of the boxes to help defeat any grass or weeds coming through. It will also decompose as well.

Perfect Play/Sand box for the grandson

@AdamBuckingham 4 года назад

Those beds look great! We have 3 raised beds, each 4x10. First time, we used untreated 2x12, and applied a coat of boiled linseed oil. Those beds lasted about 8 or 9 years before they rotted too much to stay together. Last year, we rebuilt using 6" wide cedar deck boards, with 2 boards stacked on each side 12" total, and some cedar 2x2 stakes every couple of feet to keep them running straight. We didn't line the boards, but on the bottom, we put a layer of gravel for drainage and a sheet of landscape fabric to keep the soil in. We did a mix of top soil and compost, with some vermiculite, and we add 80 lbs of compost to each bed each year. Works great!

@chrispileski6640 4 года назад

Don't use plastic as a liner, it will inhibit drainage and your plants will get root rot. If anything, use garden fabric. I wouldn't put it near trees either, you'd be surprised where tree roots will go. Can't wait to see your new video Melissa.

@earlrumble1692 4 года назад

If you have any gopher or mole problems a layer of galvinized mesh will keep the critters out. Mike, I'm eagerly waiting to see how you load your mill without a tractor.

@merlewarnsholz2094 4 года назад

Mike & Melissa - Great video. Love John Smith's comments below. The music you used while cutting the 2x10s was great. Happy planting. Blessings to you both, and to your family. Hi Hunter.

I built three raised bed planter/garden boxes last month. They are high enough so we dont have to bend over to tend them. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. Got plenty of time now........

@TKCL 4 года назад

Just got done making several 2x10 raised bed gardens. I love how easy they are to plant and weed.

@VikingShipExplorer 4 года назад

Better take care mike..... That planter box only needs a lid and it goes from a smaller version of a pool to something else...lol. Great video you Guys and Great name for your channel Melissa. I look forward to both of your videos.

@SB-ll4cr 4 года назад

Melissa, raised garden beds are great but you might note that in mine I had to put a mesh screen on the very bottom to keep out those pesky critters that like borrow up through the bottom and to eat the root system or the underground vegetables themselves.

@pmc9088 4 года назад

Looks great! Do the same build except for the 2x10s. Take the best of those slabs and rip the hearts out of them to obtain 3 cut side 1 bark side boards +2"" thickness 5-6" wide. Use 2 stacked boards a side. If you match beveled the seam side rips it would be plenty dirt tight. I think you would get a nice rustic looking raised bed out of waste product. The bonfire might not be as big though. ;)

Greetings from No VT - Excellent choice on the Melissa channel name. Looking forward to more adventures on both channels. I liked the suggestion in the comments about making another one as a sandbox for Ty!.

@jerrygibs8120 4 года назад

Keep the cats🐺out. 🤔 kitty rokas in the sand box can get messy for the grandboy. 😥

@RuossFamilyAdventures 4 года назад

on your raised beds what i did i had some wood pellets that i got from TSC that were bad i put them in the bottom of the bed and flated them out and straw and laid that flat and then the dirt and Peat Moss on top and that way you don't have to put a lot of dirt on top now with you you can get your saw Dust and fill in the box about 1/2 way up and put the dirt on top now you will have to add a little dirt every you do to the saw dust rotting and that way it helps with it being Recycling ( Now i use Some Mushroom Soil down since we are From The Mushroom Captial of the World Kennett Square Pa and your plants will Kick Butt )

@ronjohnson2073 4 года назад

I added this comment before. I think Melissa and her daughters should build something by themselves and put in on her channel. Assuming Mike does the saw milling due to safety issues. Also add a 2x2 on the corners..! And BTW, my wife’s great grandparents had a farm Southwest of Somerset. We found their burial tombstones in a Lutheran graveyard and took photos.

@geraldharvill4699 4 года назад

Use a fabric weed liner. It will keep you from having too much water on the plants. If you are close to a water source ever though of adding missters in the soil? If you put a frame and plastic to make a mini greenhouse. For freezing weather

@mattleighton1242 4 года назад

Plastic liners put little holes so the water can drain normally. I build them all the time. we do not use pressure-treated because it has formaldehyde in it . Plain wood perfect!!!. Great job mike & Melissa. Matt 52

@lemuelcasillas7572 4 года назад

Good deflection off the pool conversation Mike. 😂

@95SLE 4 года назад

When I built a raised garden at church I put 3 layers of newspaper in the bottom of the box then added the soil mixture. The newspaper effectively killed the grass and by not disturbing the ground I did not expose weed seeds to the elements for growth. The only down side Is worms did not start to appear till the second year.

@andrewarentsen2528 4 года назад

If you put a layer if newspaper in the bottom it will keep the weeds and grass from growing up. It allows water to drain, and biodegrade after a while.

@cptophers4626 4 года назад

I line my raised beds with plastic; it helps with moisture retention. I also poke a few holes in the plastic for some drainage... if you have a lot of rain the soil can become soup without the holes!

@dickhansen8594 4 года назад

Good video. Thank you for sharing your day.

@bobfitch607 4 года назад

Good choice for the name for your channel Melissa. I noticed that when you mentioned pool Mike was quick to change the subject 😂😂😂

@stevesherman7073 4 года назад

We do line our raised beds with landscape fabric. It prevents the good soil from leaking out of the bottom of the bed when the soil gets wet or we have a lot of rain. It really helps, and it allows the soil to breathe under the garden.

@r.mcelreath3469 4 года назад

Hey, beds look great. If the bed is going to be sat on,you think you need to put a 6 inch 2x4 in the middle of top 2x4 for support? After a few rains the green wood will start to twist and bend. I had that problem and had to put supports under to rail. Not trying tell you what to do I’m sure you have a lot of those people out there. I try tell others about my mistakes. After you get all that weight from the dirt in there the wood twists everywhere and it keeps the wood wet all the time. I really enjoy your posts!

@geoffreykail9129 4 года назад

Line the walls with 20mil plastic to protect wood, and chicken wire on the bottom for varmmits.

@nedkistler9934 4 года назад

I like it " off the leash" good name and it says it all.

@stevebradley7690 4 года назад

Great name. Bring on your next video Melissa!

@GaryB33 4 года назад

I put 2x4's inside on each corner for more strength, then I put hardware cloth on the bottom to keep critters from tunneling up from the bottom. Then we later the bottom with cardboard , then the peatmoss, garden soil , mushroom compost, cow minute then too it off with with garden soil. Have a Great Day, GOD BLESS

Great Melissa channel 'Name'. Can't wait to see the puppy and what you're naming him. Hey Ladies now, if you're doing an impression of My Main Man Mike, it better be good. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences. Praying for your health, strength, safety and success. Blessings...☝🇺🇸🙏💪👉...

@ddddsd20 4 года назад

You can staple some of the black landscape cloth to the bottom, it keeps weeds from growing, and it allows water to flow through.

@bradwatters9287 4 года назад

We had about an acre of grass to mow and a huge garden to weed for 3 years when i was a kid. If my brother and i got bored with mowing with 2 push mowers, we could go pull weeds in the garden.

@bobpurs 4 года назад

Good morning. Be waiting for Melissa’s video, can’t wait 🤣.

@garytveit1786 4 года назад

Suggest attaching of the red pine slabs to the two by tens on the planter box. Uses the slabs and dresses up the planter box. Might trigger a new market for patio planter boxes.

@edwardreidt1230 4 года назад

@mikemorgan love the videos you put out i always look forward to the new ones and going back to see the older one also

@lloydpainter1701 4 года назад

Melissa, good choice on the name and look at all the great ideas you have for future channels. Mike you are sure correct, that lumber at a big box store would be expensive and the quality not as good. I lined my planter boxes with heavy plastic,sides only, and sat them on treated 6” X 6”s and they lasted over 10 years.

@PabloP169 4 года назад

Good thing that you had that log on the logmiser before you lost us of those tractors. What next for these tasks?

@timbjornseth806 4 года назад

Cardboard in the bottom of the beds as mentioned down below... This will give a temp barrier that those handy little worms can get through... and suppress weed growth for the first year...

@michaelbaumgardner9493 4 года назад

Good evening. I'm hauling propane, while the wife is unboxing our stuff at the house. I'm working to pay for said home and 40 acres, while she's getting the house in order. Win,win. Hi Hunter and girls.

@robertulman9239 4 года назад

Nice job on the garden beds...very easy & simple...you could place a weed barrier underneath the garden box...what do you think about staining the wood box?

@cjm6271 4 года назад

The new beds look great. Have you heard of the Japanese wood treatment called "shou sugi ban"? A food safe way to preserve the wood without adding much at all to the cost!

@1ruralmailman 4 года назад

mike i dont blame you for not using treated wood for food to grow in.i would however next time if you have any white oak use it,they will last as long as we are on the earth.also check out the japanese technique of charing the insde of the boxes before filling themthey claim t lasts as ood as preasure treated.these still turned out well.

TYS SAND BOX

@htpadventures3989 4 года назад

Hey Mike and Melissa make sure you put wire cloth on the bottom. It will keep the rodents from digging up in the raised bed and getting your plants.

@hughgriffiths5837 4 года назад

I see the bundled stakes you’re using. A couple years ago I purchased a “Lumberjocks” stake sharpener and have loved every minute of it in conjunction with my Woodmizer sawmill (like a giant pencil sharpener for grade stakes). For gardening, staking trees, grade stakes, and marking your driveway for plowing you can stakes as easily as you cut stickers for your lumber and have approx 30 sharpened (up to 2”) in less than 10 mins. Def worth looking into and maybe a product demo for free product? They retail for around $150 and I use mine with a 1/2” corded drill. Keep living the dream 🤙🏼

@SMichaelDeHart 4 года назад
