- This is what my garden looks like after three years. All the work is starting to pay off.
Using raised beds, cardboard and woodchips for the paths, and a DIY automatica watering system, my garden really is low maintenance. This is my third garden and it's the easiest one yet.
One of the best things I've discovered for getting more and better vegetables is using cattle panels. They're rigid sections of metal fenching that are five feet high and eight feet long. I use bungee cords to hold my tomato plants to the cattle panels and avoid all the problems you get with those flimsy tomato cages. The bean plants can be trained to grow up the panels without bungees. And my cucumbers love to produce vertically. I get more vegegables and it's so much easier to harvest when you're not hunting for vegetables down on the ground.

Looks great!
Thanks so much!
Really good walk through! I enjoyed your garden. Happy Harvesting
Thanks so much!
Please share construction layout videos for then raised beds a garden area. Great job!
Good idea - do you mean the garden plan I made? Or how we built the fence, beds, etc.?
@@AnOregonCottage all of the above would be great! Lol I meant the rock beds and other beds for sure but a video on the whole layout and links to the build would be great!
@@titanart6225 Got it! 😀
Fantastic garden!!!! I would prefer the raised beds to be that red cedar look to match the stone and fence but that's just my OCD. LOL
Thank you! Yes, we worked with what we had - agree they would look better if they were a brown color. 😀
What part of Oregon are you in? We are between Turner and Jefferson. The deer never touch my hydrangeas, but they are very fond of my hostas. My husband and son gave me a tall deer fence for Mother’s Day, so my vegetables and flowers now are safe. I used to get so frustrated with the deer sampling my tomatoes. They would take a bite and drop the tomato, then sample a dozen more just to be sure they didn’t like them. Thank you for sharing your garden endeavors.
We are just south of Eugene and the deer eat EVERYTHING here! They ate the hairy tomato leaves as well as the fruit the year I tried to grow things without the fence. So frustrating. They are just destructive, too, as I showed. And they are literally on our property every night. Luckily I've found a few flowers and herbs they don't bother and our house flower gardens will have to be full of those. :)
AnOregonCottage I am trying to find a balance between enjoying the deer and saving my landscaping. I guess it’s a good thing I like the deer; the landscape is losing. We are vacationing in Bend (just staying in a rented house and enjoying our immediate family -Bend asked people not to come, but we couldn’t get a refund) We see 7-10 deer at a time here in the yard. Sometimes they bed down for a rest four feet from the window. It’s been fun.
Deer are cute but also make nice jerky and sausage. Wood chips are for paths and trees and compost made of plant mater and manure are for the garden veggies. Test your compost first with some bean plants to see if you have killer compost.
Your camera work makes me dizzy I have to close my eyes whenever you move.
Sorry!!
