I`m slowly converting my garden to raised beds, essentially to force myself to be more disciplined. I tend to have a vege-jungle mess. I read contradictory information about the toxicity of treated lumber, so as a precautionary measure, I lined the lumber with plastic, then geotextile to protect the plastic. My beds are 12 inches high, with a flat board on top. That`s useful because you can sit on one bed and work on the next one (weeding or harvesting potatoes or whatever).

I was preparing to till my garden in the next couple of weeks. My wife suggested 4x4 on post raised garden boxes. Sold! I thought we'll need a liner, but all your points are very wise. In addition, we live in an area that is under EPA lead remediation. I want fresh clean soil. Thank you for a great video.

Enjoyed your common sense video. I am using 16" raised beds, on top of good soil: only because I need height in my flat yard. But, have been wrestling with lining-or not. Think I will pass on lining and see how it goes. Agree on the point - can always change things up.

@oneone8318 2 года назад

Very good in depth guide! thanks.

@idealist4life Год назад

Plastic lining will also keep the moisture and nutrients in, as well as being able to reap the benefits of "container gardening" without having to use big ugly plastic totes.

@megaflux7144 9 месяцев назад

cardboard.. holds moisture, decomposes, doesnt really harm anything per se, so i see no real harm in it. most recycling programs arent actually recycling the waste collected (sad fact) so atleast if we use it to pad the bottom of our beds its sort of being recycled. obviously this doesnt apply to shiny coated or printed boxes (like if you buy a lawn mower).

@craigels07 Год назад

This is a great video! Listen to his advice before building your own bed

@kimadrianzekealicia441 Год назад

Lining my planter box due to it being pallet wood. Uncertain at the moment whether it's HT or MB treated. Hoping to prevent ingesting toxic chemicals by lining it. I might also only plant smaller plants in there to be sure that the roots won't reach the sides. Pallet wood is skinnier boards but last longer because they've been treated in one way or another

@amitbuch 4 месяца назад

lining makes it possible to have kratky hydroponic growing chamber which you should have covered.

@davewastech Год назад

Thanks for a very informative explanation. I've tried to find a scientific reference confirming that negligeable copper migrates from the treated wood to the soil and to the crops, but didn't find one. Have any studies been published on that?

@itchyblanket5508 Месяц назад

What if I have one made of pallet wood. Should I line it?

@dahutful 2 года назад

Nice video Robert, thank you

@marsogreen2411 6 месяцев назад

Is there a lining that is effective for keeping out nematodes? and how should it be installed? If plastic, one would need to poke a drainage hole. Would the nematodes get through the holes?

@billburke8034 Год назад

Excellent video! Very informative!

@janicesgarden5748 2 года назад

Many people build their Raised (framed) beds and have them lined up in rows that look like grave yards. So ugly. Once uou see it you can't unsee it.

@judymckerrow6720 2 года назад

Thank you ❄️🌷💚🙃

@toin9898 Год назад

I gotta disagree on the cardboard! I made a 4x16' raised bed garden on top of my grass and when it comes time to weed, even three years later you can absolutely tell where I ran out of cardboard. The grass keeps coming back in the areas that didn't get cardboarded. The areas I did smother with cardboard require very minimal, surface-level weeding.

@canadiangemstones7636 Год назад

This is excellent info!

@joanfrellburg4901 2 года назад

Since a 2x6x8 is $18.97 I don't think there will be an abundance of people making raised beds this year. Rather spend it on plants myself but some people like throwing their money away.

@michaelvittori8525 2 года назад

When you consider the 2x6x8 boards will last approx. 10 years, then it becomes a cost effective method.

@joanfrellburg4901 2 года назад

@@michaelvittori8525 Only if you get better plants. $60.. will buy quite a few plants. I'd rather have plants than a job to do in ten years. You can also line up rocks around in a row to get the same effect for free and to me it looks more natural. Bricks are probably cheaper than wood these days, or even sheet metal, or even gold LOL.

I am planning on building raised beds on gravel. The ground will be lined first, gravel placed on top and then I'm planning on having the raised beds on top of that. Would you recommend I build a bottom for the bed, line the bed or have the bed on legs?

@laurabourland5709 Месяц назад

I'm doing the same to keep rats out as they currently nest under my existing unlined raised beds. I'm considering lining the bottoms with hardware cloth and setting them right on top of the gravel or directly on the soil and laying gravel around for pathways. Interested to hear if you've made a decision.

@judymckerrow6720 2 года назад

You have cardboard laughing at you, I have a house mouse that laughs at me and he loves to dig in my plants! ❄️🌷💚🙃

@cecilleflowerfarm 2 года назад

Cardboard because earthworm love them!

@Gardenfundamentals1 2 года назад

earthworms don't "love" cardboard. It is used as bedding in vermicomposting. Worms leave it alone until they run out of food and have nothing else to eat. There is no nutrition in cardboard except some carbon.

Hi. I’ve got a concern with my raised bed, and I’d like your opinion on it. I built the raised bed out of 2”x4” fir wood untreated and I made the mistake of putting a Thompson’s WaterSeal waterproofer, I believe it’s a varnish. And I’m concerned that this varnish will leach chemicals into the soil. Should I be concerned about this? I’m thinking of lining the walls with a thick black landscape plastic to separate the soil from the wood and maybe a landscape fabric ontop of that and on the bottom so the soil won’t leach out. There is not wood on the bottom, only four walls. Thank you

@Gardenfundamentals1 7 месяцев назад

Why are you worried about chemicals from the sealer and not chemicals from the plastic? Both give off chemicals - but not in amounts that should concern you.

@jayduplessis7698 2 года назад

What about linings that keep out tree roots?

@Gardenfundamentals1 2 года назад

Landscape fabric keeps out big roots, but not the feeder roots.

I have a 16 inch ( 2- 8" boards)raised bed and the only reason I was going to line it is so the dirt won't come out between the boards. Any suggestions? Thank you!

@Gardenfundamentals1 Год назад

don't line it.
