Illia, cardboard is excellent for covering raised beds, it encourages earthworms who will break down the soil for you The star you made is incredible !

I would take a stroll through the cow pasture that's next door. I would take the wheelbarrow and a pitch fork along, too. If any cow poop would end up in the wheel barrow put it in your raised beds.

Love the volume on this one. Usually I have to turn my volume on max only to hear you quietly. This was great! I love everything you guys do. Great opening too with the "Hunter" 😂

Your star is brilliant! What a surprise when you put it up at the end of the video. My dad and I lived 50' from a lake and it always flooded. We put up raised beds and were able to grow delicious vegetables after that.

Great job Illia building all the planter boxes, looking fantastic. Great use if waste products , dont forget to add ash to all boxes .. with layer composting soil, helps add potassium etc.😅 OMG THE STAR IS A WONDERFUL SIGHT FOR ALL TO SEE 😊❤

@jillelaine770 5 месяцев назад

Great job on the Hugelkultur! Raised beds: in my area, we put a layer of wire mesh under the bed to keep out digging rodents. If we don't, gophers and others will dig up from underneath and eat the roots off the vegetables. Hope you do not have digging rodents in your area!

Illia and Marina, you both constantly do better than before! The raised beds, the tiny home, and especially thinking outside the box when you run into an issue. You amaze me with your attention to details, something that would not happen if you had hired people to renovate your farm. Much love kiddos! ❤

@jennyk544 5 месяцев назад

For your raised beds, you need to add L brackets either on the inside or the outside of the corners to keep the dirt from breaking the boxes apart over time. I made the mistake of making them the way you did and mine have pushed apart over time; this is something to seriously consider. Remember to plant your garlic before winter. The raised beds look really nice. Your star is absolutely gorgeous in that tree, well done!

All that vegetation that you cut can be thrown into a compost pile as long as they don’t have seeds. That space will make a great garden. That’s an incredible star on that tree. ⭐️🌲

@sherry2836 5 месяцев назад

What a beautiful star to top that giant tree! As kids, my sister and I used to gather pheasant feathers in the woods to decorate our room. Glad to see you set up your beds in south facing direction. You could grow a few rows of corn behind them then create your fruit garden/orchard behind that! Hope you will mix in a lot of manure in those beds to break down over winter. Love watching you guys create your beautiful homestead!

@kathleenpitt1981 5 месяцев назад

Great job with the raised beds. You have space for a lot of plants. Good idea to use all your wood scraps, sawdust and clippings to fill the beds. The star lit up in the mist was stunning!

@breabeyrouti7834 5 месяцев назад

Wow the star looks incredible! And you are going to have such a fruitful garden next year!!

@MrsMoon-qs2gf 5 месяцев назад

Back in the 1950's my mother used to take round florist styrofoam balls, poke tooth picks into the balls, paint them silver and gold then sprinkle each with gold and silver glitter. After they dried, she would poke them into the ceiling in our front room. We had an aluminum Christmas with a rotating light behind it. The light shone red, blue, green and yellow. The light reflected off of those crazy and dangerous balls on the ceiling! 😂😂😂 Funny your making those ornaments reminded me of Christmas long ago!

@PeggyStentzCasey 5 месяцев назад

You build wonderful planting boxes!! I was very nervous watching you climb the ladder into the tree, but glad you made it safely. The star is beautiful!!!!

@jimbecker5675 5 месяцев назад

Be careful with the raw sawdust in the beds...non-composted shavings will draw a lot of nitrogen out of the soil you put on top. Hopefully it will compost down a bit by spring in that context, but there may not be enough heat through the winter for that, Nice project!

@joannetutor4051 5 месяцев назад

Illia, fantastic job on the raised beds! Good that you filled them with eco waste from the field and sawdust from wood projects. Yes, do brace up the outside corners to prevent bulge and breakage.👍 Marina, it was lovely to see one last stem of pink Cosmos flower in full bloom...in December!🤗❤

@karelpetrnek3688 5 месяцев назад

Do not forget to put a lot of calcium in the soil. Otherwise, tomatoes rot and vegetables in general suffer from a lack of calcium. Pour clean wood ash or eggshells into the beds. You will certainly have much better and better quality crops after adding calcium to the soil.

I watched a vlog called the Best Family Homestead or Farm The owner built raised beds also. He made plant stands out of left over lumber so he could tie up tomatoes and zucchini and cucumbers. He also had a well near the beds so they were easy to water.

Beautiful star. How did you attach it to the tree? With the wind and blowing snow. I bet you can see it for miles. Snow letting you know to stop work. But not Illia. You created Hugelkultur garden beds. Great growing method. Planting will be a joy. Go inside and get warm. Have a great week.

@kathymorrow6724 5 месяцев назад

For your raised garden beds you should have dug a trench, filled it with all the plant material you cut down an then put the soil from the trench back on top. Also, the beds should be around 4 foot wide to add sufficient volume to retain moister and that will allow 2 foot of harvesting from each side.

@robertberry4109 5 месяцев назад

Go to your neighbor and get some cow manure, Mix it with good top soil to top off your beds. Add in some peat and you will have a wonderful harvest. Like the star.

@sboo4441 5 месяцев назад

I saw that tree in the background and thought how nice if it had lights, not even thinking about the star that you made at the start - great idea, and prefect location 😊

@dogoflog2187 5 месяцев назад

i have done similar boxes and have had great success , the wood rots down in time , every year i add more compost to keep the level up and rejuvenate the soil , the rotting wood raises the temperature in the beds and can extend your growing season

Using so much green material in the bottom of the beds will make them get hot as they decompose, be aware of that and don't plant into the beds as the plants will fail as the roots will get burnt. 👍PS the star is awesome!
