DIY Raised Bed Garden! E82 

Love those raised beds. Great design to make best use of space and easy to access from the inside. Fun seeing the family all pitch in on the project.

Hey Wes! Oh my gosh man that took A LOT of hard work! Absolutely worth it...came out amazing! Best one I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing this awesome project! Wishing you and your family well during these difficult times. Stay safe and healthy guys!!

It’s nice to see kids helping the parents do outside activities. That’s a rare thing to see now a days. Plus they get to learn something while they’re at it.

THIS is the real flex, ya'll. Not Andrew Tate lifestyle.

could I please get the plans for this garden bed. Our church and community center do gardens every year and this would be ideal for us.

Looks great. Layering sticks is a good idea. At first I was confused. But you cleared it in comment section. Waiting for produce results

Great design!!! love it!!! I would like to know if it possible to get a list of the materials used? especially as far as the amount of wood, how much and final dimensions? We would really love to build one !! Thank you

Best layout I've seen yet! May I ask the dimensions?

Are you able to give me the measurements of the garden beds and how big it is?

Step one. Buy property with completely level ground and zero clay or rock for digging post holes.

Beautiful job! Will build something similar when lumber prices are reasonable again. I have an abundance of deer that I will need to keep out.

Funny for the day... the dug holes Looks like gopher mounds and they are playing a game of checkers 😆 🤣 😂

Man this is awesome! Cant wait to see what it produces

Good job!! Really like how the whole family works together! Can you please tell me how deep did you dig the ground before you laid down the gravel? Thanks!

Over time those sticks and branches will break down, but as they break down they will “steal” nitrogen from whatever you plant.

I think I like this idea. I usually come up with my own, but was looking randomly through garden vids and saw this one. I think the only difference I'd make is to put treated(not near food) 4x4s horizontal, and build up, without sinking posts. And making it in sections that hook together. Movable. But yours is more solid.

OMG love it. Any updates on how it went?

How come there is no option for 2 thumbs up? This is super AWESOME and I NEED ONE!! So smart to screen it even larger animals like deer can't get in. Only have to worry about birds.

Yeah buddy. When you go on a overlanding trip I am raiding the garden bahahaha

This is beautiful! In today's prices, this is 4.6 million dollars in lumber, lol :P

Beautiful work! Do you happen to have a cut list and dimensions? I’d love to use it as a guide.

This is awesome. I have been planning to convert and older 80' x 22' garden for a while. Been getting inspiration with many ideas, and what you did captures pretty much all of it. Haven't seen the tomato trellis vid yet but have the space in between to do that and of course I'll be seeing how you did it. Thanks so much for sharing! Love the wood idea to fill the beds. I have PLENTY of that to get rid off. Question... I do want to have stone/pebble floor. Would you do lay rock first, or install this and then fill? My guess is that later as it's a waste of stone but I'm pretty newbie so figured I'd ask. :)

I've seen several projects similar to yours and they all have poultry wire around the sides but nothing on top. Is there a reason you don't cover the top?

Hey man, really great result. Whats the reason for the sticks in the beds?

What an awesome family project!

Question about the sticks - - it "seems" like they are filled kind of high....what is the gardening logic behind that? Trying to learn for my own future raised beds. Thx!!!!!

Awesome build man! Any dimensions I can go by, would love to replicate

Do you have set of drawings for the awesome garden? Was wondering about the dimensions? What is the height of the garden bed service?

I'm in the process of having a similar Raised bed garden built in my backyard. I'm so excited!!!! Yours is a bit bigger than mine. Your wife is a lucky woman to have a terrific husband who is also very Handy 😊

Why raised bad you loosing high space some plants grow 5 or 6 ft high also loosing ground footage screen all around ok 👍 just tilt the ground plant it simple lee’s material and labor also every year how you mix soil in those bad by hand I do garden more than 25 year just on straight to ground done simple is get

Hey where do I get the plans to make this myself! Love it so much and it would be great for a loved one who has a bad back! Any links or a way you could send me the print?

This is my second time watching your video, as I'm gaining inspiration to build my own soon once full Spring is in effect. This might be a silly question, but I'm puzzled regarding treated lumber. Everything that I've read states treated lumber is what needs to be placed in the ground, and the treated lumber at my stores is that dark brown heavy stuff that's injected with chemicals to make it last. Your treated posts have that real "wood" appearance and the grain looks much nicer then what is available to buy at my local big box stores. Do you at all by chance know the difference of what I'm talking about? Thanks in advanced, and great video!

I'd love to hear what you guys think about this. Any suggestions, changes, etc!

2 years ago... when the price of wood wasn’t as high as your mortgage payment... in California, this was reasonable. Now... this is a life changing event! You have to dig into savings or a 401k if you still have that!

What are the dimensions of the beds and alleyways?

Wow!! This is quite a palace. If I were a cherry tomato, I be overjoyed to grow up in this house. Looks awesome.

Love this design! Really think it will help me build my garden enclosure. Does anyone know if Shawnee Hills has a cut list or other plans for this design available for purchase?

Will there be a problem with using treated lumber? Won't it contaminate the soil? And how long will this last?

Does this system keep grasshoppers out? Asking for a friend/.

Can you use burlap instead of that synthetic landscape fabric?

Grasshopper is a great mower! Good soil to work in. Nice job!

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Love how you got the youngin's working too!

This is dope , i wanna build something like this .. what are dimensions of this garden ..

Love the music choices

Wow that was a ton of work! but WOW it is incredible! Personally I would cover it with screen to keep the bugs out, but Idk, Im just starting out.

Hey mind me ask . What was the rough stimate for that?

This is an all around amazing build. But I can't help but think it was a little overkill with holes no??? The outside 4x4s I can see why, but is it really necessary for the inside holes?

The posts on the inside seem excessive to be put in the ground. It’s an awesome setup but I don’t see that being necessary.

It's a wonderful system, love the way it looks. Something I noticed and was curious about. Did the grass that you dug up and put in the beds come up?

This is quite beautiful, but also VERY expensive. Impractical.

What's the first song? Awesome design BTW!

Stunning raised bed garden! We have been talking about doing a raised bed garden, as we have a big deer problem and also have clay soil. Love your plan! You and your family have done a great job on yours!!! Would you kindly tell us what kind of wood you used and if your are going to seal it w/ food grade linseed oil or anything else? Would you also give the approximate cost to build it, the number of man hours to build it with your helpers, and if you have any other tips you could pass along to us that would help us in trying to build one of these? Would you be willing to share your plans & materials list and best place to purchase? Must have one of those augers before undertaking this project! Thanks again for sharing your gorgeous raised bed garden!!!

Price of wood now May 2021 is 400% markup from July 2020. I like your bed. Disabled that would be workable for me to grow / harvest!

How has this held up? Was this pressure treated lumber?

Awesome.Good video.Result of hard work. Give your valuable comments to improve our channel thank you. Stay connected and stay blessed

Awesome video! Loved this idea and to see you and your family working together

Love it! Any plans available for this?

Man that's a nice solid setup. I'd never be able to get a post dug in my yard with all the rock. I just attached my posts to the sides. Won't go anywhere with all the dirt and rocks around it.

The only change I'd make is going about 10-12' high and cover the top also, that way you can grow some smaller trees inside or not cover the top but still have it that high encase I want to turn it to a green house.

Step 1. Don't have a lawnmower.

Wes, I'm curious. When you were drilling the post holes it looked like you have great soil for a traditional garden. Other than not having to bend over to harvest/weed and assuming with a traditional garden you also would have put up a fence anyway, why did you go with the raised beds? Awesome video.

Really nice! Gives me something to think about for the wife. Thanks for sharing.

Did you line the ground with a wire mesh for burrowing critters? Vols and such.

I just expanded my garden . They approved marijuana so no more 🌽 corn, tomatoes 🍅 or cucumbers 🥒 who needs vegetables.?

Looks great. Seems critters can get under the gate but I'm sure you just did something smart like maybe a 2x4 or 4x4 footer. I'm planning something similar and thinking through an impregnable gate...

Do you have the plans for that design? Really want to make it! :-)

Would you care to share the dimensions? I'm guessing 16 x 24? I want to build this.

Amazing assembly. Loved seeing the family helping.

This is awesome! You must be an engineer lol

I seriously need to move out of the city...and breathe. Thanks for sharing. Love the design and the build.

Needs more explanation

WOW!!! THis is Georgous and so funtional...the Best Enclosed Garden Structure I've ever seen! Great Job!!!!

Fantastic work!!! We have 4 wine barrels for our garden protected by an old trampoline safety net. I really need this! We have a few acres and deer that like to feed off our fruits of labor. Is there a follow up to this amazing video with dimensions & materials used?

Just looking what you did, I hit the like before I watch it, very well made

This is great! My wife and I are doing the same thing But on a much smaller scale. Got a question though. What are the benefits for the sticks?

How do you know how much area to have for a family of 5? Is there a formula?...

Amazing..... Can you please give a measurements please

Watching in Ireland beautiful job I am also a raised bed grower I wish you and your family many years of joy in growing your own food and experiencing the magic of nature God bless you all ❤

Great video and design. How's it holding up after 1.5 years? Anything you would change?

what are the full dimensions of the garden including height. I see a comment that the door is 42".

That’s so nice that your kids are actively involved as well. I want one of these can I pay you to make me one in my backyard? I’m in Jackson Michigan 😁👍🏼

Hello! Do you have another more in depth video? Would love to know how the top board goes on and how the door was built.. we are almost there . Getting the posts today ... thank you

Wow!!! That's my dream garden! Drip irrigation & all!! Amazing & exceptional work!!!👏🙌 thanks so much for sharing the build!😻☮️🌱

Must be nice to go down more than 2 inches and not hit rock everywhere.

Congratulations! your work was excellent! and your family is wonderful! may the Lord our God bless you so much!

$200k worth if lumber nowadays lol looks great!

Great job! Could you share the spacing on your 8' and the width of your entry?

What are the size of your whole garde and about how much would you say this whole project cost you?

Absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing!!

Really Awesome build. Thanks for posting this. You gave me a brilliant idea.

Bales of hay would make a good filler too. Nice job all around.

FYI, pressure-treated lumber is frowned upon for gardens you are going to eat from.

Step 2. Win the lottery to purchase all that lumber.

2:50 look at all the work you have done. It would take me a week with the auger, maybe two weeks. Amazed😱

In 2021 all that wood would equal the cost of four houses.

What's this mesh for? Birds get there from above, wind will blow through. I wonder.

Hey bud could u give me dimensions please? Thanks

Impressive. Is the fencing to keep our deer?

Love the set up. We already have raised beds and want to add fence. What type of wire did you use?

This is amazing!! Very good work!! And nice idea! One day I hope to make one like this! I wish the best to you and your family and thanks for the perfect video!👍👍
