    Great video guys well done.
    Just a thought for if you do some more. If you wet down the cardboard really well between layers it can often help get worms up into the beds faster. It will also help to get some heat into the bed to wet it down each layer and to break up an any air pockets.
    But as usual I love your videos. Amazing 🤩
    Plus I love the way you are wearing shorts 😂 I’d be with you Amanda I’d be rugged yo and maybe even have a hot water bottle with those temps 😂😂😂

    G'day guys.
    Hah, hah, I also learned pretty fast that with free ranging chickens, I had to cover my beds as they would love to get in there. I use old cheapie bird netting and stretch it over.
    I was watching you layer the beds and I was daydreaming about having all of that material here oh and all that hard work paid off on the shaded area.
    That's great how it stayed nice and warm inside when the temps were so low outside.
    Good luck with the beds and looking forward to seeing them producing for you.
    Take care.
    Daz.

      Thanks mate! We’ve managed to keep the chooks out so far but will need a better strategy as the veggie patch expands. Very stoked that the shadecloth reduced frost impact 🙌

    The beds look great maybe a layer of stubble over the top to help with water loss?... OH! and Dozer needs a coat, I was getting cold just watching him shiver...lol

    -2, feels like -6 has to do with humidity and wind chill.

      It’s been a very dry winter. The dam didn’t even fill this year but the swale is hanging in there.
