HAHAHAHA!!!! What a friggin situation - I have a video coming. There was a BOULDER buried in the field - almost 3 feet in diameter. Plowing the field exposed the surface like an iceburg and the back of the tractor hung up on it - the left back wheel was in the air. I tried everything to get the rock moved, and the little tractors couldn't pull the big tractor off of it. SO, I ended up having to buy a new battery for the big ford backhoe, and once that fired up it pulled the tractor off the rock without even using the accelerator. It yanked it right from idle - hahaha. The backhoe made quick work of the boulder and I tossed it into the wild area of the property!!! That whole process delayed me almost 3 days due to weather and getting the battery delivered to NAPA. So frustrating. :-)
@@BuyingTheFarm I wonder if you put the big boulder near the road with a for sale sign on it.....what would happen?......have you seen the prices on those rock/boulders at the local nurseries? 👍😎🇺🇸😇
Now if you just knew someone with a tractor and bucket that could fill those with dirt for you…😁. I’ve been having the urge to put in a garden this year. Maybe instead of getting a tiller I will look into purchasing some of those raised beds. Thanks for sharing! I not only enjoyed it but got some ideas.
I've struggled with a darn tiller for a decade in that big garden. The thing would bounce all over the place and was a pain in the neck (and back, and arms) to go around, and around, and around.... and then 3 weeks later the entire garden was covered with weeds, choking out all the plants I planted. I know several people with raised bed gardens, and their tomato plants are well over 6-feet tall - huge bushes of tomato plants. In my garden, even with manure and weekly fertilization, my tomato plants only got to just over 4 feet tall, and if I got a half dozen tomatoes per plant, it was a good year. SO, I'm done with all that. I'm going to give this a shot. Between the garden and the farm, I'm hoping that SOMETHING gets to grow this year!!! Hahahaha. Give em' a shot - there's tons of them on Amazon, not terribly expensive. Pretty darn easy to assemble, and with some geotextile under it (which I also bought on Amazon) they should be pretty weed-free, drain nicely, and product strong plants!! :-)
Raised garden beds provide better drainage, preventing waterlogging and root rot. This is especially important for areas with heavy clay or poorly drained soil.
Hey Brother.......went by yesterday.......was very glad for you when I saw you got the tractor unstuck from the field! 👍😎🇺🇸😇

@@SEMPER-FI-777 lol… no, I haven’t checked recently!!!
Metal raised well gardens can add beauty to your garden and add a highlight to the landscape.
Absolutely!

Definitely!! I'm looking forward to a healthier garden!!
Soil grown in raised bed gardens is often looser and richer in nutrients, helping plants grow stronger and produce higher yields.
I'm hopeful - every raised bed I've seen has been producing more than my conventional garden has for the past 5-10 years.
Raised beds help limit the growth of weeds and pests, while also allowing you to better control soil quality and plant nutrition.
Definitely important, and one of the reasons I'm doing it.... poor soil health, blight, and so many other factors led to this!
