I love that you’re honest about a lot of plants dying. Not everything you plant does well. Human error yes, but also just uncontrollable factors that you should expect.
Filling in the cracks with compost or grass clips, grass clippings are a good source of nutrients that will help improve the erosion in your backyard :)
I appreciate you saying that. When I started gardening 5 years ago, I started watching other gardeners on youtube as well, its a great way to find out what to avoid, and how to do things right the first time. I try to show my highlight reel of success, but also talk about the mistakes I've made so you can avoid them.
In the raised bed it’s bagged raised bed soil from Home Depot. It would be more cost effective for you to source soil cut with compost from a soil yard. The volume of the bed is 3ft wide, 2ft deep, 20ft long, so it could hold about 4.4 cubic yards of soil. I recommend fertilizing with 13-13-13 about 2-4 times a year For my lawn, I fertilize 2 times a year with 13-13-13 and 2 times a year with 29-0-0 nitrogen rich fertilizer. I aerate my yard by hand, and mow with the mower set to around 3-4”. The soil in my yard is all yellow clay, topped with a thin layer of sod, but the aeration and fertilizer really helps.
When will u be back? Plz make a crape Myrtle care video thank you 🙏🏽

I came across your channel a few months back, I live in Manor and this is my first year growing food, how often do you water in your raised bed?
Rarely this summer because of the rain (2-3 times a month hand watering)
But during last summer’s drought, I was watering 2-3 times a week
The fact that this channel doesn't have a million subs is criminal
Very kind of you to say Michael, thanks for your support man
Love your updated videos. Have you ever thought of planting more trees such as oaks or even more crape Myrtle’s in your backyard?
I like you. I subbed
Appreciate your support!
Hey man, I came across your channel awhile back as I’m also growing fruit trees, and I think we live in the same neighborhood? Parker station??
Howdy neighbor, we are fellow north eastern Austin metro dwellers, but I’m in Manor’s Presidential Heights neighborhood
@@AustinTexasGardening ahh very close haha. Good luck on garden and channel I’ll tune in when I can!
I really like the editing done in this video with the before and after. Keep up the good work.
