I don’t see why people are saying things about her gardening and you should use ,not use she looks like she’s been gardening a while so I’m shur she’s gotten veggies and all,she makes it simple and not confusing to the point,simple easy gardening video and that’s a good thing in the end she gets yummy vegetables so she’s doing gardening right!
I don't understand stand why people will come on here and make mean comments if you do something different that work for you then just leave that comments let us know what you do or get your own videos,I just started my garden this year for the first time. I had the best watermelon,and cantaloupe I have ever tasted.tomatoes,cucumbers cabbage,mint,parsley, strawberries and I was shock, I didn't use peat moss made my own compost. The only problem I had was with my cabbage the worms but I ready to try it again because of people like this lady video taped her ideal for me to try.
Sew Fantastic I agree! Some folks seriously need to get a life. People are on here saying she doesn’t know what she’s taking about. Meanwhile she’s standing in front of multiple healthy crops. 🙄
The magic method for the breaking up the peat moss you said someone in the comments would know is to drop the sealed bag in concrete. The shock will break it up almost instantly. Just 2-3 chest high fails will do.
Just watched this video. Thanks for sharing. I own 4 acres of land in East Texas that's only good for weeds and grass. I will try planting this spring in a raised garden thanks to your video. Until now, I didn't know how to mix soil for growing.
Thanks for the cool video. I'm new to this - planted some chives today in a couple of small pots for the kitchen window and thought, 'heck this is kind of fun'. A few hours later, here I am looking up how to start a little vegetable garden.
After ptting the paper down to help prevent weed growth I would then lay down some hay and wet it pretty well then add your soil on top moistening the soil as you build it up layer by layer. This way you don't have to worry about that small amount of water evaporating or wicking away. The wet hay on the bottom would help keep moisture closer to the ground encouraging deeper root growth. Also, I would also lay down some thing like straw or wood chips on top after planting, to help keep the moisture in and then you won't have to water as much. In fact you will only have to water every couple weeks or so even here in SA. Other than that, really awesome video on how to get it done quick and easy.
😊 Thanks, I'm a beginner and ur method is simple, time saving and affordable 💖.. no need to get difficult by gathering rocks, having to find cardboard or spending unnecessary money on lime or coconut oil. Perhaps maybe I'll need those things later but, not right now. I'll send that money for seeds and 🪴 plants
I use coconut coir for moisture retention and peat moss to adjust my pH, like I'd use lime (to go the other way on the pH scale). I add rock dust from as many different sources as i can get and mushroom compost for vegetables. I also line my beds with cardboard instead of paper. Different way of doing things. You have a good voice and narrate what you're doing, well.
I think it's tremendous that there are so many ways of doing things and we have a way to teach the all! You're good at making videos. You should keep doing it.
Thanks for the great video and gardening tips! You clearly know what you're doing, because the other plants next to your new plants, seem to be thriving!🌾🌵🌿
So glad I came across your video. I prepped my soil last night with potting soil and peat moss. Now I know I have to get my compost. My compost is not ready as I have just started. I am in Florida and it’s very hot as well so this helps a lot.
I have enjoyed your video. Some people have negative comments, everyone has their way of doing things. I use whatever is available. The best part is doing your own thing with a good end result or a good lesson learned. Continue to enjoy and produce. I do
That peat moss looks like it was in a compressed bale. I loosen it right in the bag by repeatedly stabbing it with a large knife and breaking up the clumps with my fingers. Then I can scoop up big double handfuls and toss it in the garden. Also a large garden fork makes it easyy to mix the amendments together.
This is one of my fav DIY YT videos of all time... I really want to start growing my garden in little boxes like that as I think they're cute and flexible. Though I'm seeing a lot of disagreement in the comments... I live in a semi-desert country. Its really hot and dry for like 98% of the year. Would I be good if I followed the tips in the video to the bone for my own garden?
I just devised and started a new way to garden that should eliminate or minimize normal problems people have with garden plots of any kind. But I will share it once my plants are producing well. Right now the seeds are just sprouting, so, I need to wait and see how my theories are going to play out, and see if unseen problems occur. But I wanted to say that one problem with gardening for many (me) is getting those monster bags safely home without ending up in the chiropractor's office. I managed two 20 lb bags, one of garden soil and one of manure with compost. I wanted to get peat moss too, but they only came in 40 lb bags, and they were too bulky to lift. I live alone, and am a female who has damaged my back years ago lifting a bag of rocks out of my trunk for the garden. It has left me with lifelong back problems. So one way to manage might be to get a strong person who works there to load stuff into your trunk or hatch and if there is no one to help you unload it, cut the bags open and transfer the contents into smaller bags you can carry easily to their destination. Or have a garden cart ready (that's what I did). I also found my shovel is really heavy. There are lightweight shovels and small shovels on the market made for smaller or "weaker" people, also shovels that have different shaped heads for getting into weird places. I found some for just over $11, and plan on ordering one. My shovel is so heavy I just started using my hands to spread the compost and mix everything. Figuring out easy ways to garden will encourage you to start a small patch. It shouldn't be the amount of work videos show you it is. This video was good and made it easy for anyone. But I also recommend using leaf/grass mulch once the plants are up, and that way you have constant compost being made right there.
I have garlic.radish.strawberry .carrots.among other greens on the pallets.i layed down put soil and I plant my seeds on plug trays we being eating them for while now..my strawberries 3 year old and ever bearing so summer and winter even we had some strawberry
Really wish gardeners wouldn't recommend peat moss, it's not a sustainable product & is destructive to the environment where it's harvested. Also, if you're going to recommend pallet wood, please tell people that it has most probably been sprayed with chemicals that they won't like leeching into soil where they'll be growing food. Some are heat treated instead & you can sometimes tell by a code on it, but it's something that should definitely be researched. This stuff may seem picky, but most gardeners respect & care about the natural world & would like to know. They also often grow their own food so it won't be chemically laden, which they can get easier & cheaper at the store.
There are two main things to look for on the stamp: The IPPC Logo: if you don't see it, don't use it! Even if a pallet may be perfectly safe without this logo, it could also mean that it was treated with chemicals! The treatment code : [HT] = Heat treatment / [MB] = Methyl Bromide / [DB] = Debarked / [KD] = Kiln Dried.
I'm not sure what you're saying, ben Dover. The chemical used to treat pallets is methyl bromide, I can't see how that's related to copper. If you look up the specs for it, it's toxic & carcinogenic. It's, of course, up to the individual to decide their own risk level. I did think the info I provided was pertinent to people who may be wanting to grow veg for a healthful food supply.
I appreciate all gardening enthusiast and them sharing their video. I will suggest you layer not more that 30mm each of coir+compost+garden soil+leaf. And repeat for total 450mm .
Thanks, love your comment about "we don't have rain in Texas." lol Just had 2 raised beds constructed almost waist height and will try eggplant and the beams for the Fall. When do you plant a Fall garden...I'm also in SA. Thanks again.
10 minutes. lol. Sugar, it's gonna take longer than ten minutes to get it running. lol. I do love your technique of getting the peat moss out. Just grab with your hands. It looked like you were strugglin' with that hand trowel. Other than that, I like the vid. I don't know if you have more of these Texas gardening tips, but I would love to see more. As a Texas native, novice gardener, it's nice to "see" what you can plant in TX.
Thank you so much for this I'm moving to San Antonio this week and going to start a garden/ urban homestead and have been looking for other urban homesteaders in the area to learn from . If you have any other tips or advise I would greatly appreciate it.. thank you and God Bless
Hope your move went well. I follow a guy on youtube, growing your greens. He lives in Vegas but has a food forest in his back yard. If he can do it in Vegas, you can do it in SA
Hello I really like your video, this gave me a great vision for starting my garden. What do you do for pests? What type of pests do you have to worry about? Do you have any issues with scorpions?
I would have watered the whole that I put the plants in and then water them again after I buried the dirt on top of them it works out better because like she said the plants can go into shock it's better to water the ruts right away
I planning to do raised bed, but is it expensive in preparing than the harvest cost , finally investment to make veggies , cost of bed, dirt, fertilizer , water for the year , will make 1 pound tomato $200 , but it is good fun and exercise
The costs go down.....the bed only needs to be made ONCE and filled with soil once.....so they are not recurring costs. As for fertilizer, once you get going and mulch heavily, that cost goes away.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Right. The setting up is the costly part. Dirt/soil can be reused many times, and each time you replant, just dig a little fresh stuff in, maybe compost from your own yard.
@@yellowbird5411 Exactly. My beds only get better every year because I mulch layers of organic matter every crop, and I'm constantly adding to the growing medium. So the first crop is the "worst crop", ha ha! And each one gets better and better!
Its just that it makes it obvious she is very new to gardening. Unfortunately if you're going to make yourself public you should make sure you either have thick skin or you actually know what you're doing.
UA-cam videos never get attacked by nature like I do. If I did what was done here, at the very first leaf, on the very first sprout, an army of rabbits, aphids, slugs, molds and caterpillars, would parachute into my backyard from jet planes.
What a nice video, thank you! we live in the Austin area and have a LOT of ants, how do you deal with them or how can you stop them from getting into your garden?
How can I create fertile soil myself without buying mulch or fertilizer, and how can I tell when its good? Id actually like to do the old fashion hard work, getting the garden in shape from scratch. Not just buying everything I need in neat packages which makes it as easy as 123, where's the fun in that?

I second that Sew!
Lay your bag flat into the bed. Take a utility knife and cut a big X in the bag then flip it over. Then dump the contents of the bag. Lot easier.
Hire a gardener and let him do all the work.

That loose leaf paper will turn to mush after your first watering. Break down a cardboard box and use instead.
Amina Melancon use rocks in wood she don't know what she's talking about don't use Moss
Peat Moss help to keep moisture and keep lose the soil. @@shirleydeatherage1949
Shirley Deatherage do you put the rock,wood first on bottom
no it wont maybe after a few weeks yes. I mean why do you think compost takes a while to make

I just made my raised garden in my backyard, and I have a few questions as far as seeds or transplants...

Holly, dad planted his cucumbers too close to his cantelopes and ended up with cuculopes 😂 and....he said they tasted funny....
Great video! I've watched like 10 videos and no one have explained it as good as u!
That's what i do with Peat moss also, love the stuff. Thanks for the video!
I used the old Mel's mix of one third of compost,peat moss,and vermiculite
When mixing soil, I just leave the peat moss in a wheel barrow overnight, and then mix the reconstituted stuff.

Raised beds once prepared are so easy to keep, I'm going to make one today and get it up and running whilst the weather's good, great footage.👍😆
Liking her techniques. Easy for me to follow.
Raise your soil to almost the top and no competition for root space. Use a watering can for more even distribution of water. Cute lil garden tho!!
That was so easy i cant wait to try out!!! Loved all the advice and tips
Thanks. I was looking for the most basic thing and this was perfect.
Pretty legit. My wife and I are making our raised beds soon. Were in Mansfield
Raised beds is the way to go Eric....its literally the easiest way to vegetable garden!

Love the vid. It's funny how Americans call soil 'dirt'.
Cut bag in half with knife ,then dump on soil its very easy !
use coco fiber as an eco-friendly substitute for the peat moss
Happy gardening
Peat moss is no longer recommended, coir is more renewable.

Totally agree with you 👍🙏
I will use peat moss until they run out of it
Annd, It is way better at retaining moisture, which is good for growing in deserts

Can I Add mulch? If so like just a top layer? or around the garden bed?
Sorry for all the questions
Jesus Villegas You can use mulch as a top dressing so the sun doesn’t dry out the soil and to retain moisture
Where did ya purchase your plants? I also live in San Antonio
