- Hey Guys!
In this video I go over the design and construction of my garden bed design for my lovely wife Jess at Roots and Refuge.
This is the 3rd version of these beds and I hope you get a lot of useful tips and information out of this video for your own garden bed projects.
Thanks for stopping in!
Miah
Idk who’s more excited about this channel, me or my hubby. I showed this to him yesterday and he said “heck yeah, finally…farmers with honey-do lists UNITE ✊🏼”
🤦🏻♀️😂 Not that we women won’t be doing some of these things as well when need be, but I want to give a huge shout out to our men folk…we appreciate y’all and all the hard work y’all put in! I couldn’t do it without my own Sweet Beau 💯☺️
I actually clicked off one of Jessica's videos before it was over for the first time ever! 🙂
Indeed! My husband Ryan is happy to build anything my crazy brain comes up with. He is so sweet, he got really excited when I said Miah had his own channel haha
@@bluebirdhomestead hummm how much free time does your husband have? I can supply a list.
@@MissBetsyLu Haha I do keep him pretty busy ;)
@@bluebirdhomestead I'm muttering ' sure, you say that now. '
So glad you decided to start your own channel Miah. Your contributions to the farm need to be showcased because you do such a fantastic job. Everything is looking amazing! Congratulations on your new channel and praying for your continued success! 🙏
YAY! Now I can DOUBLE my addiction to Roots and Refuge!! Congrats on the new channel Miah...THANK U for helping guide us all to building our own little patch of heaven ...MUCH APPRECIATED 😊
Forwarded to my husband for his “honey do” list. You gave him all the information he needs and more! Thank you so much. God bless you!
😂 dito
😂😂
I’m the handy’man’. My husbands more of a mechanic than a builder. Guess I consider myself the builder AS LONG AS I have directions. Video directions or build with me is preferred but not required. 😂😅
Same! 😆
Lol I did the exact same thing!
Hehege ya I am afraid for the lady to see this
"Double Dose", Miah's Workshop and Roots and Refuge Farm! Now that's "medicine" for the heart and soul! Great job, Miah and truly appreciated. Much love and God bless.
Hello Miah, congratulations. I have learned so much from you over the years. I recently experienced an unexpected divorce (after 38 years of marriage, my husband informed me he wants to date). So, I will be doing a lot of building things myself, because I am starting a small urban farm here in California. I will keep watching and learning. I am an elementary school teacher, and Master Gardener. Yet, Miah, You are my "Master Teacher!" Happy Sunday to you, and your family, please tell Jess, "Hello from California. I Love tomatoes too!"
@Martha where in California are you located? I’m in the SFO South Bay Area getting ready to move to Tennessee.
@@Taking_Back_Thyme Hello, I am located on the central coast, the Monterey area. Congratulations on your move...
I'm sorry your husband did that. I was married for just under five years when my husband came home and informed me he didn't think we should be married anymore. I can't imagine experiencing that after being married as long as you were. Best of everything as you move forward in life.
@@LulaMae21 Thanks, and I am sorry for your experience with your husband. I am trusting God, and trying to stay focused on living a really good calming life, have an awesome day! Martha
Hey, How are you? I'm a teacher (reading coach this year). My husband passed away in 2019. I've asked the Abundance community to hold a woodworking class for inexperienced, but want to build things. There's nothing like someone showing you how do things, but I need guidance to try to do it myself.
That's beautiful and much more simple to do than I thought! Thanks for the great sourcing tips, too. For those if us just starting out with little to no building experience, I would love to see basic tool use. Squaring up corners would be extremely helpful! Thank you, Miah for staying your channel! You are a wonderful teacher!🎉
Yes, this! I need info on the basics too!
Me too! Also price range for the components. Great job being specific about some things but I'm curious how much this would set a non-homesteader back for 1 or 2 beds as a start.
Agree - actually seeing video of how you do the details with a little more explanation would be a great help, including the mitre saw. Been gardening in-ground for decades but building these beautiful beds requires tools and materials new to me. SO GLAD you posted this video, I've gone through all of Jess's at the new farm looking for where I missed this!
@@LibraryAce A lot of the material prices are likely to vary by location, though I agree it can be helpful to get an idea.
Take a measurement from corner to corner diagonally lengthwise. Example, number your corners 1, 2, 3, and 4. The measurement from corners 1 to 3, should equal measurement from corners 2 to 4. If
not, push in on 1 of the corners on the longer measured corners until both measurements equal each other. I know this answer is a year old, but I hope it still helps. Good luck in your garden.
These beds are so beautiful!! ❤
This is exactly what I wanted to know more about. We’re going to build raised beds and I’d like to know how you did these. Thank you for sharing!
This video is so timely! I was JUST wishing I knew how to build these raised beds while on Jess's channel. Thank you so much!
Me too & seen the title was like wait thats Miah he can build anything I better watch and learn.
Great idea to tack together with the air nailer before putting all the screws in....that would have saved me so much time in most of the projects I've completed so far in my garden. Will be using that method in the future for sure.
So excited, I’ve been waiting for this video! Now to send it to my husband so he can build them for me! 🤣😜
Yay Miah! Proud of you and this leap of faith! We appreciate you. 😊
Definitely a fan! You guys are my favorite people on UA-cam!
We Roots and Refuge ladies recognize each other out in the world by our t-shirts. Now when we are out driving through the countryside, we will be able to recognize other R&R fans by their raised beds!! Very cool!! Thanks for the how-to.
I'm planning on purchasing one this coming week and that was one of my first thoughts!! I wonder how many ladies here in Canada will be too?!
Wonderful vlog. I have struggled with the center of my beds bowing out. I used wood to tie the 2 center supports together. I found that because they touch the soil, they rot out quickly.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I like the look of the black mixed with the wood!
These raised beds are beautiful! Great job, Jeremiah . Thank you for showing how you made them. It would be a dream of mine to have a couple of days here one day. I'm so thankful for this video so I can show someone and maybe it can happen. You sure know your beautiful wife Jessica heart. Thank you for being such a testimony of the love language to Jess
I'm so excited that you've finally launched your channel! Been looking forward to seeing your infrastructure builds for a long time.
The lumber you're using here is particularly gorgeous.
Hi Miah, thanks so much for sharing this build! I've loved the look of these beds ever since you guys installed them and have always wondered about the construction. Appreciate it!
Loved seeing the design and engineering process behind these lovely garden beds. Great job, Miah!
That gas post driver is my kind of tool!
Thank you for starting this channel. I enjoy watching all aspects of the homestead so this is an added bonus. You do awesome work!
Yeah! Mia for finally taking that step! So proud to see you out here! Looking forward to your further lessons! Congratulations!
Thank you Miah for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!!
I was waiting for this video to come out. I'm so glad you are launching your own. That means a little more videos from Roots and Refuge to enjoy and learn from.
Thank you for putting yourself in front of the camera to share this part of the garden we all love so much. Excited to learn.
Yay!!! So happy to have found this. My husband loved your set up and wants to replicate it for me. Thanks Miah! 🎉
Those beds are so perfect, and look lovely with the greenhouse! Your skill plus Jess's design are a match made in heaven! 💕
Excited to see you start your new channel and help new raised bed gardeners get some ideas for building. Thanks for your help!
Ok Jeremiah! I feel like i can tell Robert all he has to do is make my cuts because I can build my new beds myself now!!
My wife and I have been watching your videos with our Sunday morning coffee for a few years now and I can’t tell you how THRILLED I am to see this new channel Miah! We’re just north of y’all in NC and have been gardening for about 4 years now using your videos for inspiration! Can’t wait to see more content and support from all your viewers!
Congrats Miah on getting your own channel up and running! I am excited to follow your adventures around the homestead. 😃
You are an amazing man Miah, you are very good at what ever you build, I love it all 👍🌟👍
I’ve been patiently waiting for your channel! This is exactly how I want to build my beds! Thank you for explaining every single step!
Yaaaay! So happy you made the time to share with us. Looking forward to future videos. 😊
I am so excited for your channel! You and Jess balance each other so well with you’re points of view! I know it’s probably tough to take on another thing right now, so thank you so much for taking the time to make videos and teach us along the way!
Well, it looks like I'm calling some shed making places today! Thanks Miah!
Thank you brother, this video was perfect. We are going to build our raised beds exactly the same way. Love the content.
MIAH!!!! Wheeerrre aaarrre yoouu?! All good man? All of your videos are awesome. I speak for the people when I say we have tasted the greatness of this channel and fervently request more! Thank you for your content :)
I tried to wait to build my own beds to get your design but I couldn't wait so I designed my own loosely based on Justin Rhodes. I didn't realize the black was metal....but my next ones will look like these! Mine are all redwood cuz it's way cheaper than cedar in CA. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS OUT AND WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST ON YOUR NEW CHANNEL!
Hey Jeremiah, just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos! I’m ve been watching the R&R homesteading, but we are the least handy people you’ll ever meet and for any to start a homestead. This is super helpful and I have crushing on these beds since I saw Jess show them in the garden tours. Thanks to both of you for the inspiration!!!
We had some leftovers from a bulld. Seen your video and my husband and I built one proto garden bed. Can’t tell you how happy I am with it as we are moving from a farm to the city. I can still have a garden even if we get to new place early summer. Thank You!
Great information Miah! You've given me ideas. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your YT channel! 😁
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Love watching you. I was just outside with ny husband and contemplating how to make beautiful raised beds then I seen your video. Again thank you
Cool, thanks! I will show this to my husband and see if he will build me some raised beds.🤗
Awesome job Miah! I have been waiting on this video! We have a hodpodge of raised beds- some metal, some brick, some wood. But when we move I’d like some more uniform beds. Thank y’all!!
Yeah! Way to go Miah! Love to watch your videos!
Longtime watcher of R&R, but have never commented. I wanted to show my support of this scary venture. Proud of you! It is hard to put yourself out there! Give yourself grace, and keep your chin up!
CONGRATULATIONS Miah!!! Look forward to many videos from you🎉🎉🎉😊
Wonderful video, Miah. I have always marveled at your carpentry skills. Keep the videos coming. Susan B, Cypress, Texas
Your raised beds have come a long way since the early days in Arkansas. I love that your first beds were built with scrap metal and live wood posts as I love the rustic appeal but THESE beds are gorgeous! They look fabulous around the greenhouse and the whole garden space is just amazing. Excellent job on all of it! Glad you're sharing your skills on your new channel. God bless! P.S. We just rented a gas powered post pounder last week. Now it's on the must purchase list. 😆 Total game changer.
Those beds are absolutely beautiful. Wore me out just watching you do the build.
Nice clear steps. I especially appreciate your process of decision making and refining the design and assembly. You give options so we can adjust for our needs. 👍
Miah I know you don't like being in the spotlight but I'm so glad you are. You've saved me untold misery, frustration and disappointment. I am currently building beds and never even thought about needing to add the supports pounded into the ground. Thank you so much, I know for sure this was a huge help!!!
Good job mate, great to see your own channel with your build projects 🙌🙌
We made our new bed similar to yours, Miah; the photos of Jess' beds were a huge help to His Hubbiness. 😉 All scrap metal sheeting (nice grey green color) and mostly scrap cedar. Yaay!
Didn't know you have this channel, congratulations 🙌 you n Jess are awesomely blessed 🙌
I wonder how many partners are receiving this post with a heart ❤️
You answered all my questions within minutes of them coming to me. Really good coverage of information.
Miah, what a happy surprise UA-cam suggesting your new channel this morning. My husband is thrilled 😁😂 Cheers from 🇨🇦
This was so great! Thank you for sharing and showing this to us! Is there a video you could do on how y’all water all your beds? I’m very new to this and having a hard time understanding how that all works lol
We have one of the gas powered t post drivers, they are AWESOME!!
Good luck with your new channel! Miah is a natural, he looks great! You make a beautiful couple! Sending love & blessings!
WOW! So that's how you build those raised beds. Those scraps of metal was a great treasure find. I thought they were wood painted black. I found a pile of plastic panels made the same way. They were too short for anything big, but not for reinforcing my chicken coop 😊. I plan on redoing my raised garden boxes. They are much too low to the ground. Thank you for all the inspiration!
I picked up some good ideas from you today! Thanks!
Nice Miah. Great resource and will keep on list of suggestions for future. Congratulations for starting this. Praying for your success for many years to come.
🎉Another fantastic video! Rather overbuild than under build, heck yeah! I wish I had this tutorial years ago because that is similar to how I built my garden beds at my old house, but yours it much better and you only needed one center support. I used thinner wood that needed more supports. You also folded your metal into the corners, fantastic idea and looks great! See, I learn something new everyday. They turned out really amazing, I'm sure that Jess is over the moon with them! Job well done!
You had me at welcome back! 🤍
Thanks for the video. I built two raised beds for myself so far but you have just given me the proper way to build them. I will be building them like yours next time and probably replace the two I have already built like yours. They really look nice too. Your video was well produced also and you are good at explaining things. Thanks again.
Beautiful work and finished piece.
We built raised beds just like this, from leftover scraps from building a pole barn.
Thanks Miah. I'm not building metal beds but you gave me ideas for the pallet beds I am building.
Ive been watching yall since 2018 and its so exciting to get the building perspective as well! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
oh my goodness! I want this. showing to my hunny :) thank you.
Thank you Miah! So glad you started this channel, I look forward to many more of your videos.
Thank you! Instructions are clear. Like the way you solved the problem of soil leaking out by running the roofing vertically.
Im so happy to see your farm jobs. I love you guys but I do wonder how you build things.. can't wait to watch all of your videos too.❤❤
Great job Miah! So glad you decided to start your channel. You’re an amazing teacher😊
Well done, Miah! Thank you for sharing your process... the beds are beautiful!
Love how you set up your garden beds ❤
Super cool you got a channel! Straight forward and to the point really easy to follow. Really liking your vids, i’ve been building some things, and there’s a difference between how I used to do it (short lived) and how I’m starting to do it, which is more professional looking and last longer. You know what your doing it’s educational for me and I’m really enjoying it. Youve Got some great ideas too for ways of building things, efficiently. 👍
Miah, thank you so much for sharing this building project with us. God bless you!
Awesome! Congrats on your new channel. Thank you for sharing your hard won knowledge with us!
Thank you for an awesome video Miah! Congratulations on your own channel!
Your beds are a work of beauty.
Very Bob Ross “this is your garden bed, build it with any shape or material that you like” 😊
Great job Miah! Clear instructions and well thought out design. Really appreciate the effort.
AWESOME JOB!!! THX FOR SHARING!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Congrats on ur channel!! Super excited to see how u do projects around the farm!!
You really built those beds strong. you do good quality work. I hope Jess appreciates it. Congratulations on your new channel. I often wonder how you do all that you do. Ilove your work ethic and I wish I had your skills. God bless you and your family.
Shared with my husband, he is now your new follower too! Our family fun learnings. Thanks!
I wish this video had been out before I made my beds. Great idea running the metal on the inside and around to corners!
Those are well built! Dang! I'm learning more from your videos than any diagram I've tried to look up, I'm a visual learner like Jess, I appreciate you so much 😅
I admired those garden beds and was curious about what you used for the side panels...it looked like wood! They're beautiful... thanks so much for sharing. Great tips on securing it in place without using concrete too!!
You and Jessica make quite a team!!! Excellent work! This was meant to be--excellent workmanship, and excellently thought-through presentation!
Thank you for posting this build! We will be building our beds this way. I love it!
I was just looking through Jessica's old post trying to find where you constructed these. Thanks so much!
Your the best!!! The stain glass greenhouse is glorious!!
I am so glad to see how you built your raise beds. Thanks for showing this.
