Installing Woven Weed Barrier in the Vegetable Garden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Now that the garden is fenced in, it is time to install the woven weed fabric in the vegetable garden. This weed barrier will make gardening a more pleasant experience, because there will way less weeds. We are reusing the woven ground cover from last year, as well and laying down new weed fabric to cover the entire garden area. We will secure it to the ground with landscape staples and fasten it to the sides the raised beds with furring strips. When we are done, most of the ground will be covered except the small holes we will plant our vegetable plants in.

Total garden envy! For 30 years I’ve fought weeds and they’ve overwhelmed me every year. I have landscape fabric on order and am very excited to try this out. So glad you showed how you handle the raised beds because I also have a few of them too. Love the overhead view of garden. So impressive ! Thank you so much for this great video. I’m sharing it on Facebook.
Brilliant ideas for laying the weed cloth to have the absolute least weeds possible. Spend a lot of time now, when it's cooler and nothing else is really demanding attention, for less time later on when it's stinking hot and everything wants attention is smart working. Looking forward to watching how your garden grows. :)
A little tip when you go to plant, I used to use a bulb planter to dig out my holes for planting. Last year I bought 2 sizes of small augers from Tractor Supply and Lowe’s and use them in my Battery operated drill, works great and you can go as deep or shallow as you need. Give it a try you won’t be sorry.
I got one, and it will be in the next video. 👍
I did this with garlic last fall and it really saved time and was easy.
I'm using one of the blades from a kitchen mixer on a battery operated drill-works slick! An cheap!
Fantastic idea to cut the landscape fabric with a torch, no frayed edges.
My thought too lol
Your garden and fence looks amazing.. That "Growers Solution" Polypropylene Ground Cover is the BEST product on the market!!
Looking good . No need to pull up the entire ground cover . Only the areas that you'll be planting in to add your compost unless of course you change your planning pattern . I myself would build a tool shed out side of the garden and put an entrance into the garden . Same with the compost pile . Outside of the garden . This way you have more garden space to plant more plants . Well that's just me . I would love to have garden like that . I'll bet you'll be planting all kids of things in the coming years .
The drone footage was beautiful. Very satisfying work Evan
Evan, that was a good idea about putting those strips around your raised bed to keep weeds out and the garden looks really good. There should be enough vegetables for you and Rebecca for all year. The woven weed barrier will be well worth the effort to control the weeds and you will have a great garden, weed free.
Great video! Might consider getting a Garden Stake Installer. Helps to save the knees and back! :)
I totally agree with you. In the long run this will help tremendously with weeding. I'm doing this now so next summer will be no weeds. I'm using this in my walkways between my existing beds an not going to plant in these.
Oh my, from that angle the garden looks huge!!
This is one of the best detailed videos I’ve seen about laying weed barrier in the garden. Very thorough! You must hate weeding like I do. Can you provide a link to the weed barrier you got? I’m hoping there are more videos about how long the barrier lasted, how it did, and your thoughts on that.
As always you do very nice work. The drone footage was also a nice touch to the video.
You have that garden buttoned up tight! I love it! I need some of that fabric for my backyard!!!
That's a hugh garden....your a hard worker and those puppies are adorable, hubby and I enjoy watching your videos . ..
It looks great! Can’t wait to see it planted. Have Scout and Sidney seen it?Lol!😊❤️🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
From the outside looking in. 😀
Thanks for the video, you gave me some good ideas 💡 👍
You're obviously in it for the long haul.
Fantastic video. Very helpful
I'm about to give this stuff a try. Just delivered yesterday and not yet installed. My primary problem is torpedograss, and absolutely vicious weed. I hope it can't get through the good fabric I've purchased, but time will tell.
Dayum, crafting your own staples is pretty ambitious. They don't cost that much.
Hi..... Country View Acres. Great nice to see you, thank you for sharing your video 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
It is a very useful blog and very important information about Woven Weed Barrier.
It is a little more work now, but hardly nothing to do later. Perfect, like it.
Look forward to your video's! Love your homestead so beautiful out there! Wonderful garden! God bless!
I love your videos and your homestead is amazing. You and Rebeccah are such a beautiful couple.
I am planning to start a homestead this year from scratch, for charitable purpose. Thanks you for teachings me. Friendly from Australia.
Another excellent job & I really enjoyed the aerial footage from the drone.
That is an amazing garden. Really functional but also beautiful. I can’t wait to see how the garden progresses.
Wow, beautiful work
Love the garden, great job. Can't wait to see the garden full!
Well I am 50+ years old and I have just learnt something, awesome idea to use a gas torch to cut and seal the weed suppressant
Good job Evan, really looks great, can’t wait to see it all growing. It’s going to be a good garden. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Good morning Evan. I asked you a few videos back what type of drone you have and I finally pulled trigger and bought the same one. Would you mind making a video with any tips and tricks that you have came across since you’ve had it? I’ve been watching you for years and really like all of your videos. Hope y’all have a great weekend!
When I dream of my garden it looks just like yours! Very nice.
Very nice. I'm going to use the woven landscape fabric for my garden beds next spring and have learned a lot from your video. The weeds have about killed me this spring/summer. Thanks for sharing.
In Central New York State where I am....it is forecast for snow this weekend....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your set up and putting composting bens and a potting shed sounds perfect and another time saver having everything you will need close by. It has to feel very satisfying having your raised bed garden basically completed for your growing season.
I love the way do you did your garden it looks great hate to weed myself saved you a lot of time in the future.
Looks good. You are an absolute workhorse!
Beautiful garden area!
can't wait until you get it all planted
A great deal of work her at the onset of creating your long term garden space....but as always your work is brilliantly accomplished
Wow that's an awesome well thought out garden. Jim excited for you and to see it's progress this year 👍😄
Garden looks great, Evan. nice job. Aerial shot is really cool.
Compost tea would soak through the landscape fabric...no till necessary.
Do you have a recipe.
@@rebekahleskiw7879
You will have to search the web for a recipe.
I have never used it myself.
I believe it involves putting a shovel of well rotted compose in a 5 gallon bucket of water until the nutrients are dissolved into a "tea" like liquid. Then it can be poured around plants in the garden as fertilizer.
Love your videos. Thank you 👍
That drone shots sweet.
Hi Evan. Love your improvisation making wire pegs
Love your set up. My wife and I are going to do something similar. I think where your man gate, and the tractor gate are, would be easiest if we put 6x6 in the ground to make a spot to attach the weed barrier to, to give a clean edge for mowing outside. 😊😊😊
Thanks for making the nice video with great information/tips. I will be laying down ground cover also very soon around my raised beds and rows of potted plants. 😎👍
Well... Here in northern Norway it came like 1/2" of snow today 🙈 So jealous
This is what I want also figure lay it all out put my raised beds on top and my walk ways put my black woodchips my uncle suggested I also put it on top of my above ground beds it’s what he did also and never has to weed. Saves time and our backs as we’re no spring chicks anymore. Thanks for sharing
This looks awesome! You have given me a lot of great tips, thanks so much!
Love the garden!!
Awesome work done and stay safe
Great job Evan. I LOVE IT.
Love the aerial view
Looks perfect. The fabric is what I use for the corn area, on the other areas, I put 2 layers of 8''-10'' of grass clippings. I wouldn't do a garden without some type of weed suppression, too much work ! Thumbs up !!
I love it! So neat & clean
Great job Evan! I'd better not hear one complaint about weeds this year! Lol I can't wait for a picture of the growing garden from your porch. You know, while your enjoying your cup of Joe in the morning, admiring your handy work with no weeds.😉 if your ever wanting to learn about companion planting, Off Grid with Doug & Stacy has a good video on that. Thanks for another great video bud!
I took on an allotment twice which was totally overgrown. Clearing weeds is so satisfying. But then I did not have animals to take care of and all the other stuff you have to do.
i like the Perimeter fence. id pit pavestones to walk on down.👍
Beautiful garden!
Nice job
If you ever have old black irrigation pipe 1 inch or less thickness they work very well to hold netting of any sort nailed or screwed in. Regards Billy from S A
Beauuuuuuutiful !!!!!
Looking good. “I like it”
Nice setup
That's a pretty massive garden! I'd like to do a big garden like that. We have the room, but I have no time to can, and my wife won't do it. Maybe some day -- looking fantastic 😊
Looks great guna make life easier
good stuff
OMG Love it!
Think I would stick with the heavy duty staples, pre fabricated. I bought 200 6” from amazon for $15. They are very heavy wont bend. great investment if you don’t have time to make your own. Loved the video though... thanks for sharing your great garden adventure!
🤙
great work, very tidy!
I’m totally jealous of how much garden space you have. It’s looking awesome! We covered our garden space with it too, but all our planting will be in raised beds and containers on top of it. Can’t trust our soil, where the garden needs to be located, unfortunately. And, I cant really work at ground level. But the fabric is awesome, its even keeping the raspberry canes down (they’re super invasive here in OR).
My soil is clay, and I was surprised how well the plants grew in it using this fabric. Give it shot you might be surprised.
Thanks! I wish it were as simple as clay soil. :) It’s more untrustworthy because of what the previous owners may have dumped there. We have five acres, but most of it is wooded. The sunniest spot is unfortunately where there were several old dog kennels that had been stacked full of junk. When we cleared the space, we found big pieces of asphalt that had been poured right into the ground and then buried. But also, I need the height of the raised beds, I can’t get down to ground level very well.
Nice garden my kind of garden did my hole back yard like that cores my yard is only 50x50 with stone love weed free.
Awesome garden my wife and i are jealous lol
Thx again
well I’ll just say this.......I’d even live in Illinois to live on that property, and I’m just a couple hrs away in Indiana along the wabash also😘
New sub...so glad I found channel
Evan, where did you get the landscape fabric. Manufacture and size please, cost per roll as well. Garden looks great. Be nice to not spend time later on weeding. Good idea to keep the pups out as well. Thanks again, have a great weekend
I got mine here..😁 www.growerssolution.com/PROD/ground-cover/groundcover
I buy DeWitt 3.2 ounce woven ground cover. 4 foot wide rolls. With 6 inch overlap I have 3.5 foot spacing between rows. I used to buy 3 foot rolls, but I like the wider row better.
JUST WOW OH WOW!
Looks grate ,!!!
You have The Do It Right Way The First Time Mentality! 👍
great job and looks real good...entrance gates?? don't forget a trellis for the green beans
GOOD JOB
You should use furring strips on the fence also.
Sorry for resurrecting an old post but I just stumbled across it. 4200 sq ft garden here and going to try the woven fabric this year. My fabric is 6ft x 300ft and I'll just cut to length. My question (didn't see it in any of the previous comments) is how hot does the black fabric get during the heat of summer? Our Oklahoma sun beating down on black material looks like it could create a sauna....
GREAT work on the design, layout and video work btw! Love all your videos.
That garden needs planting. It is beautiful.It will be more beautiful with food growing everywhere.
A good way to burn holes is heat a used tin can up with a blowtorch and press it on the fabric (with a heat resistant glove or tongs)
Before I saw you make the staples I was thinking damn them some crazy as staples. Where do u get them? Lol. Nice job.
id put cedar woodchips around plants, and plant some aromatic plants like Lavendar to repel Mosquitos and pesty insects
Well done indeed young man! The drone footage was brilliant. You deserve bumper crops after such meticulous preparation Evan. On a lighter note, you could run a competition regarding the number of times you said the word "Weed" I think you really do hate them! Get them dogs trained before they cost you money in repairs or replacement. The need to know what NO means.
Great job on the video, hoping to use that material some year soon on our garden. I've heard it's best to pull it up each year so the weeds can't take hold and grow through, is that something you think will be a problem? I guess there are people who do both, not sure what we will do about that, but excited to be able to get some. Furring strips, awesome idea. Should be nice!
Use some round up around the edges, it works great
Thx
Was that an old Craftsman 10" table saw. I had one just like it. Wish I still had it.
Yes it was my dads old table saw. It is what I learned on as a kid.
Shouldnt u have added compost first? We can't grow anything in our colorado soil without compost
Could you just cut an X in the fabric that would lay close to the plant so there would be less weeds?
The problem is cutting is the fabric will fray, but using a torch to cut an X might work good. 👍
@@CountryViewAcres I wonder if an old soldering iron would be good for cutting it. Or at least a smaller chef's torch.
Damn Dogs!
Great design, a lot of work, But, oh, yea, Gonna save the aggravation of weeds, and a lot of time. I understand !!
Wow, beautiful, but any idea just how much money you have invested in the vegetable protection?
