Don't be embarrassed by your mistake with the wood .Two head is better than one , shows you are in tune with each other .
Thanks for the video but.....
I can't buy just 2 boards for less than $50, let alone that whole set.
Biden's new economy is that bad, and getting worse. O_o
Clever idea
Thank you so much!
Been super stressed trying to find a possible solution to my ‘no tools’ problem, & I am on my way to pick up supplies now!!! Y’all are awesome! God bless y’all
@@ntamidator3756 Just curious, what is the price now?
Watching this video I see more than an innovative gardener. I see a good man, a good dad, and a good soul. I enjoyed your video and I’ll be looking for more.
Yep, I can't agree any more. He's such a gentleman
Yes…I’m praying for my family to be like this ❤️
Agreed!! ❤️
Yes, definitely!
Funny ... thinking same.
I’m 74 year old women. Went to HD and came home and built it. Thank you so much!!! Genius!
❤💯awwww love it
Yah! Good for you. Empowering😃
Did you get for the Same price. For me each board is showing $21
I'm going to try this too.
Well done to you, age is irrelevant 👏 well done. Now let me see if I can also do this.
8 months later...but we moved back to the country and I decided to do my first mostly raised bed garden (front 'and' back yards). This is amazingly easy! God bless you and your beautiful family. He heard my prayer about having so much to do and needing help with raised beds. Right on time. Thank you so much. God loves y'all and so do I.
Reminds me of my daddy. This is exactly why I swore my father was a super hero. ❤❤❤❤praying for this family. Immediately subscribed.
Thank you , you saved me a lot of money, I was going to order a garden frame for $250. Thank you for showing how easy and for less funds. I lost my job. I have to MAKE GROSERIES for my children 😪. Your tutorial
has helped me and my son tremendously.
Thank you and your family
God bless Maam
@@GrowFamilyNetwork cheaper to get dirt by the yard deliver.
@@ddcc66 or have a pickup truck bed filled. Can ask a friend or family member if you don't have one
I paid a friend $25 to pick me up a truck load of soil from a nursery for $45 and it filled 2 of my 4×8×12 and still had a bunch left over so I let her have the rest for helping me. So for 2 raised beds and soil came to $175 total.
He's a true Dad, he saw his babys from the back of his head lol! Zion came back🍎
And so calm at the same time!
Literally I was thinking the same, I lived the moment, all children are safe, specially boys.
Back when wood was cheap...
This is so helpful, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the galvanized raised beds or do this with the wood! But because YOU showed how easy this was! I will now be doing this version! I will be doing another layer to make it higher due to age and back issues, congrats on making 100 thousand milestone,! Looking for you to grow even more and PASS the 100 thousand soon!!
❤💯
The metal are more attractive and cost more but labor intensive. Those blocks at Lowes and Home Depot are now about $3.25
I was gonna do the galvanized thank goodness i came across this video much cheaper.
That’s really great!
I'm sitting here on this rainy Saturday morning watching videos on how to start my garden and I'm so thankful that I came across your video. Thank you and your lovely family for taking the time to post this, because I see how easy it is to do, and I feel confident that I can do it. I'm going to build mine higher so that I won't have to do too much bending.
Has to be one of the easiest ways to build a raised bed.
Joe Pacholik the easier the better for a food grower:-)
Grow Family Network Work smarter, not harder, right?..👍🏻
Agree
It is simple. I have MS so this makes gardening much better.
You can say that again. Smarter not harder
Dude! This is genius! We practically live at Home Depot and I've never seen those blocks. I'm so glad I decided to hang on my phone today with my morning coffee or I would have never seen you. Genius genius genius
I have seen them , but didn't know what were for.
Lowe’s made the beds and they have it outside with plants here in Utah so, basically we just copy Lowe’s

This is what I love to see. A dad showing us how to build something and taking us to Home Depot. Gonna rewatch this on Father’s Day.
Thank you for taking the time with your family to share this with others. You’re a good dad. This is a great, quick and efficient method to create growing space anywhere. With today’s prices this is a way to supplement and reduce people’s food expenses while getting fresh quality produce on the table. Along with a great family activity that teaches your kids something useable.
In the fall, instead of all that soil, you can layer straw or hay bales in the bottom. It will decompose over winter and create a great substrate.
Just be sure the hay or straw wasn't treated with a long-lasting weed killer. I was going to use horse manure and old hay, but David the Good, who used to live in FL, advised that the University of FL has developed a persistent weed killer that passes right through horses, into their manure, and it will still inhibit plant growth. So make sure you know how that hay or straw was grown.
ua-cam.com/video/j7lvuIpGgRQ/v-deo.html help for filling them on a budget 🌱😀🌻 this is how we do it
Grow Family Network awesome! Hugelkulture!
Maryann Rondinella Look for grass-fed beef farm. They have good manure without any weed killer 🤠
@@maryannrondinella5680Great warning, Maryann, thanks for the heads up! 😊
Even I could do this one! Thanks!
And thats what its all about:)
"and... ROLL OUT!" HAHA I love this guy.
Excellent video!! Clear. Truly step by step. Limited amount of talking. Easy to listen to. Easy to understand. Great that credit was given to those who inspired the family to do this project.
Thank you for taking the time to create the video and share. Peace good health and blessings to you and your family.
Okay when I saw you roll that dolly inside of the bed to dump soil... Sold!
Hahahaha
Man Lowe's needs to start paying you for the marketing you are doing for them
I'm doing it for us first...grow growgrow...i do need to call them tho lol
Facts sis
@@GrowFamilyNetwork 🤣🤣🤣
Home Depot
Home Depot, not Lowe’s.🙂
Great job... very inspiring! You take the extra time and effort to show just easy a step is or how beneficial a feature is by actually demonstrating the whole process.
You welcome all of us in and converse with us like we're family!
btw...THIS year (2021) that same piece of wood is well over $30 ea!
Great video! Thanks for sharing this info. We had never seen these bricks before in home depot but we'll be on the lookout now. Blessings and much love to you and your family from my family here in Texas. 🥰
Wow, amazing.
This is the simplest I have seen.
I feel confident that I can build one myself as a lady in her 60's.
Thanj you so much. 👍👍
Your welcome...best wishes
Me too and I'm 69.
I did the same bed and if you want to make a cover the center holes are 1/2" so you can we to PVC 1/2" tube pipes and the fit inside all you have to do is drive stakes in the holes then slide your PVC pipes over it
Grow grow grow
With my raised beds, I put two layers of cardboard underneath, and a layer of chicken wire (for the gophers 😬). I filled most of the beds with homemade compost so I didn’t have to buy as much soil. I actually made mine w treated wood, and smaller, as I don’t have such a huge space. I made my compost pile w the same idea in mind years ago. Thank you for sharing! 👍🏼
Hey, that's a smart idea to use these bricks for compost bin! If make a two compartment style, then could easily remove the center short crossbar to turn it over to the other side. I hate the idea of hot compost bed because they have to be so big to get a good temp inside and turning it is such a chore . But with a modular set up like this, seems access would be so much easier.
This was everything I needed As a single person wanting a raised bed garden, this is something I can do! Thank you for sharing.
I have them cut all of the boards in half and buy extra blocks for the 8' section to minimize warping over time. I also use rebar to stabilize the blocks. Be careful pounding in the rebar though. The blocks can crack easily if you miss the rebar. Also place sticks, twigs, leaves, aged straw, free wood chips and some raw veges in the bottom to minimize the amount of soil you use initially. Some people even use the dirt from the "paths" between the raised garden as fill. Great video!
Thats how we do the filling ua-cam.com/video/j7lvuIpGgRQ/v-deo.html help for filling them on a budget 🌱😀🌻
I was thinking of having the 8’ board cut in half in case it won’t fit in my SUV…. I guess that means extra blocks! Thank you!!!
I’m sharing this video with my gardening group.
Cheryl’s Organic Food Forest some watched the video....thanks for spreading the good news about another good idea someone might can use to make their gardening experience a little more enjoyable
THIS is a TRUE life hack! Great job figuring that out. I was about to buy a saw, a new drill, expensive cedar wood and wood screws. Thank you for this.
Yo! I have been searching for a cheap good method that would last long term and this is by far the best and cost efficient method I've seen this far... I just found your channel less than a week ago by UA-cam algorithm and I am so glad I did. It's AWESOME to see people who look like me and my kids doing the things that I like to do!!! Y'all keep up the good work 🙂
I appreciate you for taking us on a shopping trip with you. Really makes it so much easier for those of us who have a hard time finding such things. You and your wife a very kind and go out of your way to be helpful. Thank you all so much. Take care stay safe. God bless you and yours
This one is the best one...we try to explain how the first one we did the boards did not come up to the top of the bricks. This one getting the bigger board made it fit perfect
Really great idea! About the only thing I might do differently is I wouldn't put the landscape cloth under it. The reason why is I would want to encourage earthworms to come up into the soil from the ground to add to the fertility of the soil.
Also, for those who can't transport even the 8 foot boards, why not buy four more of those bricks and have Home Depot/Lowe's cut all your boards into 4 ft lengths? That way you can transport the boards. Maybe even double it up to make it twice as high for an even deeper bed.
This looks to have lots of possibilities! Thanks for sharing it! :)
True
The earthworms, will find their way in there! I used the covering , however, for plants that need more depth for root growth, I had to painstakingly puncture holes to plant those seeds, but it’s amazing how much food you can grow in a raised bed this size
One of the best gardening tips ever! I wish I knew about this when I started gardening. This is seriously one of the best ways to garden using a raised bed. How would you protect the wood during the winter months? It can get pretty cold in PA during the winter. I don't want to have to break the bed down if I don't have to plus if we get another mild winter I was hoping I could just keep the raised bed down and plant greens like kale, spinach and collards.
I dont do anything to protect our wood,,, but we do plant winter crops like greens
These boards are currently $36.28 at Home Depot 😳 Boy have prices ever changed. Love the video though! It’s an awesome idea!
“Right quick”, I haven’t heard that since I was living in Nashville😅Love it! What a great set up thank you for sharing!
Thanks for hanging out with us on this one...we still have these two beds
Lovely! I am going to do a few of those myself! Thanks for sharing!
@@GrowFamilyNetworkwould you double up, fill in the bottom with logs and sticks which decompose? Then a seat could be another plank, making it much easier for older people? Bending over can be a real issue.
@@charlenekociuba7396 I love this idea. I have several piles of branches and sticks from pruning trees and shrubs here in the 1.5 acrea yarden. That would take care of several issues for me while giving me a great raised bed that I can easily build myself without enlisting any help from family and friends. I'll soon be 68, so the raised beds will be a blessing! Thank you for the idea and I'm definitely going to steal it after this growing season...probably this winter.
THANK YOU, GROW FAMILY NETWORK! I learn so much from your channel. Thank you for blessing me with your experiences and your knowledge! Thank you!!!!!
Awesome idea dear sir, thank you for sharing this, God Bless you and your family.
My Man.... this was the best video out there,, thanks for the chart list as well...

I think it might almost be cheaper at this point to buy a sawmill than to buy lumber today. 😳😳😳
Facts! The price of lumber has increased.
Here where I live in Canada, the planks cost $30 each. The bricks cost $5.50 each.
Yes the price per board now is at least 35
Bucks! Smh
Yeah. I got some 2x6x12 redwood boards for $23/each.
@@radolfkalis4041 It HAS come down of late. 😀 I used fallen pinebeetle-killed logs last year and probably will again, but at least the lumberyard prices aren't so bad as they were. Redwood here is ALWAYS super expensive, though.
You’re such a kind man. Your family is blessed! Very helpful video!

Thank you for such a great video. I can't wait to try this.
I dint live in the USA. I have to buy online. I cant seem to figure out what they are called.
Extremely cost efficient. I’m going to put up a few. Thank y’all for sharing.
Happy Gardening Ms. Bayou

Thank you so much for making this video! Y’all are a hardworking sweet family! Good to see y’all gardening together. God bless your family!
This was VERY helpful and informative!!!!! Thank you.
Also, here is an EASY tip for everyone wondering what to do about the grass.... you can put a few layers of cardboard boxes (rip them open and lay them flat)... It’s a great biodegradable weed/grass stopper that can be used instead of purchasing landscaping fabric. It’s free if you just save your old Amazon boxes, etc.

"All aboard!!!" 😂😂😂
Thanks for the raised bed idea my friend, may have to try this out next year.
Go for it!
This is a great idea! Thank you. The kiddo was hilarious: All Aboard!
“Oh...taxes.” They’re so cute. Definitely going to do this.
I have been looking for years for something like this. Creative genius!
Glad youve found the channel
A suggestion...to kill the grass and weeds, spread a tarp or dark plastic or cardboard cover over the grass where you plan to build the raised bed. Leave for about 2 weeks, remove the covering and there will be nothing growing under it. Build the raised bed and dump the garden soil and you are good to go. Preferably remove the plastic unless it is food grade to prevent leaching of poisonous leachates. Cardboard should be ok, but make some holes for drainage. Also, you might be able to find a local supplier of garden soil with compost, who can deliver the growing mesium., instead of lugging it. All the best!
Wow! This is awesome! I can’t wait to show my husband this. Thank you so much! Keep doing what y’all are doing! Y’all are awesome!
Hello beautiful gorgeous family with those beautiful gorgeous children he really andhis wife isto and may God continue to be with them and his whole family
Found these at HD because an employee there told me about them when HD first got them. Wish each block was 10-12 inches tall. I use them, they work and it makes "building" raised beds easier. Fun video!😊
Thanks

LOVE IT!!! TY SOOOO MUCH FOR SHOWING US! NEVER KNEW ABOUT THESE!! ALL SET NOW!!
Yes ! This is what I was looking for, thank you
This was the best video I saw this season. Putting in my gardens in Florida, had one for years when I lived in N.C., and even with my in-ground bed of 14×90, I just wanted/needed more. I am limited on sunny sites, and ended up with some very odd slivers left available that just didnt seem feasible to till and plant. I shared this with my hubs, and he ended up building me one 4×4, that gets full afternoon sun, for all my herbs. Also, he built a 4×32 plot in full sun, which I will install double cattle panels lengthwise, and plant both sides with my heirloom tomatoes. That's 42 tomato plants! I'm in heaven! He wanted to make it easier for me, since we are older, and I have some arthritis in my back, so he did a 3 block/board height and filled it with 9 cubic yards of composted Black Cow manure. These beds are going to be loved for years, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You're so welcome
😃Thank you so much for making this video!!! I have been wanting to make a raised bed garden in my backyard for so long but had been spooked by cost of materials and workmanship. Thank you for graciously taking the time with your family to walk us through the process in detail. I'm totally inspired!! 🌻
This was the best video tutorial for raised beds using planter blocks! Thank you for starting inside the store, I look forward to NY first raised bed. Thank you!
You guy's are the Best..... this is the best way i have ever seen it done....
You can paint that lumber with mineral oil it will last a long time , check your local lumber warehouse home depot is a convenience store, too high on lumber .😎👍
here our lumber stores are higher than the big box stores.....but honestly i never tried to ask their prices on lumber but their parts be way higher here
Mineral oil is a great idea! Thanks.
Love this so much. As a renter it will be easy to dismantle and take with me should I have to move. Set up is so easy. I have landscape cloth already. Showing the screen with all the codes is a great idea. Cant wait to get to HD right now. 😁 Thank you so much for showing this.
Grow grow grow
The only suggestion I would make would be to forget the landscape cloth and to use cardboard instead. It still acts as a weed barrier in that it kills the weeds, but it doesn’t prevent the soil biology from moving into your beds like landscape cloth does. The worms that are drawn to the cardboard will break that down and the castings they leave behind fertilize your garden as well as the tunnels they make allow oxygen and water to get to the roots. Soil, after a while compacts, the worms help to prevent this. All this add up to a healthier environment for growing in. Hope this helps.
@Linda Johnson. Thank you for that valuable information. I have lots of cardboard and since this year is pretty much my first time gardening on a larger scale I need all the advice and knowledge I can get. Thank you so much!
I’m so grateful for this video!! Thank you!!
I usually avoid giving comments and very rarely give it. You have shared an awesome idea through your video to the entire world. Loved it. Thank you and God bless!

13:50 THIS is why your vids are sooo good. You don't just tell us...you show us. God bless you!
So we were at Lowe's today and was going to go with 2"×6"×8' boards and I'm making a 32'L ×4'W which would be 4 separate beds using the planter blocks. But after watching your video I think we are going to use the 2"×12"×8' boards and one planter block to get us started. I have a greenhouse that is 36'L×18'W×10'H so I have wooden panels I have my flowers on now. I want to make the raised beds to go from opening of left side to the back and come up to other side opening making a U shaped bed in the GH. Since they are only 4'wide I can still keep two rows of my wooden panels and have plenty of room to move around...thanks for the video I can finally show my husband what I am talking about Happy Gardening from Wild Rose Acres.
Thanks for the comment...grow grow grow

Bless you an your family, thank you for sharing your raised garden bed project that was just wondering no tools needed :)
Thank you for thoroughly teaching and demonstrating how to purchase and build this raised garden bed without tools. I set out to build a 16 x 4 bed around vegetables I had already planted. I was able to do it by myself. I was so excited I went back to HD the same day and purchased more materials to DOUBLE the size of the raised bed to 32 feet and I added more plants. My husband was quite pleased to see what I did while he was away at work. The next project will be to build the hoops to keep out the rabbits! Thanks so much! God bless you and your family.
Thank you 🙏 I’m in Queensland, Australia and I only have a concrete slab to plant onto at the back of my unit. I’m looking forward to using this idea only building it higher. I’ll put some rods into the holes in the bricks and use them to support concreting reo to frame vertical plants.Thank you 🙏 for this super fantastic idea. Oh and by the way, I absolutely love your garden. Thanks again mate xx
Awww thanks ms. Sarah
I absolutely love this idea! Thank you so much for sharing ❤!
Oh, this looks like I could do it! Thanks so much for actually going to the store & showing the approximate location of the supplies! Thank you again!!
I purchased several of these a few years ago for my raised garden beds they do work very well
Great information bro. I was thinking of doing a raised bed. You made it easy for me.
Grow grow grow...we still have these two producing for us season after season no real signs of deterioation so far... Real good beds
Been building all my raised beds this way since HD started selling those bricks. Love the ease of putting it together! And the versatility.
I love watching you plan for your family - so good.

This is a great idea! Love the look and a good depth for a raised bed at twelve or twenty-four inches (if you double stack everything). Thanks for sharing! I wish I had a portable mill to make my own boards and a cast to make cheap concrete blocks. This would be REALLY cheap if you could trim down a bit on the supplies from the hardware and garden stores.
I need that cast hahaha
