I have used fiber pots. They lasted 5 years so far. Really inexpensive and can get all kinds of sizes and configurations. I bought some 200 gal. Took a truck to a place that sells different types of soil by the tractor scoop. Way way cheaper than bags. Love your show man.

@8:05 into the video you point out the rusted "screws" in the metal bed. Those aren't screws, they are nuts and for under $5.00 you can buy a box of stainless steel nuts that will never rust. Replace the ones you have with stainless, or, just leave the rust which is a naturally occurring mineral

@MoonMan1956 2 месяца назад

I have 9 high metal raised beds (30-32 inches tall - from Birdies and Vego) and 10 regular galvanized metal raised beds (11-12 inches tall - no name from Amazon) in my 8500 square foot food forest. I bought all light and dark green, so they blend in better. Love that custom netting you are using in the metal raised beds. I saw that but didn't buy it. I use tulle (think bridal veil material if you are not familiar with tulle). It's so much cheaper than those custom covers and keeps the tiny pests out while letting sunshine and water in. I have also used plain wood and cedar raised beds in the past and still have 10 of them in use. I prefer the metal ones, especially the taller ones. I am 68 and they are great for senior citizens; you don't have to bend or crawl on the ground. to tend them. As always, thanks for the video, James. Happy growing!

In AZ, a Deaf girl I have been inspiring to try a garden designed a short raised bed using cedar cut at Home Depot plus 4 tan-colored, concrete, planter wall blocks joining the ends. No hammer and nails needed! Just assemble. Looks great and can be easily added to make various shapes and designs.

@nat76hill 2 месяца назад

I’d love to see pictures of hers. ❤

@davidthedeaf 2 месяца назад

@@nat76hill she sent me a photo of it. It is wonderful and I am not sure how to share it with others though as I live in WA state and thus cannot upload to my RU-vid the video. However, I believe if you look up the Home Depot blocks and then use imagination for 2 cedar planks on top of each other, you may have an idea how nice it looks! Her brother in law had made one like this, who lives near her mom, and he has had very good luck in Arizona with this method for over a year. Now she and I are looking at how to water well and not on the leaves, perhaps with a timer and irrigation tubing. I am very proud of her as she is a city girl in the country and growing a tomato plant for her mom even though she herself hates tomatoes. :)

@user-de1ub6gd3c 2 месяца назад

My favorite raised beds in farming country - animal feeders and waterers. Expensive when new, but sometimes you can find used ones. Last almost forever!

@palmsandboars Месяц назад

Agreed. I got one about 10 years ago and it's still in great shape. A couple of years ago I bought another one at Home Depot when it was on sale for HALF PRICE! I couldn't pass that up.

@mplslawnguy3389 Месяц назад

Do you cut the entire bottom out or just some holes? They don’t look that expensive where I’m at and they would probably outlast those flimsy raised beds they’re selling now.

I use many of your techniques in our raised bed gardens here in East Tennessee. We use concrete blocks, 2 high, stacked, no mortar. We are going into our fifth year with them. No rust. No rot. And they stand up well when hit by a new zero turn mower.

@dianehansen7640 Месяц назад

We gathered free heat treated pallets and nailed them together, as is, to make square raised beds. Lined the beds to contain the materials and filled with tree branches and chunk’s. Then soil, compost, peat moss and such. I’m able to stand by the raised beds to plant and harvest. Being in my 70’s, stooping or kneeling is no longer an option so the 4 pallet beds we have work great. We’re able to eat the produce directly from the garden!

@simonlang2485 Месяц назад

@mplslawnguy3389 Месяц назад

I get it, but I have read that regular treated lumber is ok, it’s old railroad ties that you should never use. I’d be more worried about what was stored on the pallets over the years and what may have spilled on them.

My wife and I invested in the 10 in 1 vego bed. We got 3 of them. It’s been 3 weeks and we haven’t had any problems with them bending or anything. They felt flimsy at first but once you get soil in them and it packs in from watering they’re very strong and look great. The screws rusting was the only thing I could potentially see going wrong down the road. Were happy with them so far!

I see your passion and your joy when the little things go right. It's so true. You said it, so much goes wrong it's a blessing when things go right. It is such a joy to come home from this crazy world and watch your videos. You have great advice for us all. Stay just the way you are . People are so weird and judgemental.
