Building New Raised Beds / Starting Garden From Scratch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- We've moved! We have a brand new yard and are starting the garden completely over, but this gives us an opportunity to do things even better! First year gardens can be a pain, compost and worm casings take time, but luckily we bypass that by using my potted soil from the old house. Jammed with worms and all kinds of goodies! This is part 1 of a 2 part series, watch out for the next video on how we fill the beds in, we'll explore the lasagna method and it's benefits!

Hi NINA,
Love watching you and your old man do your thing. I am a Man 81 years old and in a wheelchair from Connecticut thanks🙂
Gardening gentlemen of culture, the thumbnail brought up together once again.
And buddy, I'm glad to see every one of ya!
zactly.
Great pair of beds
i just love your tank tops so much! 😍😍😍
I congratulate the cameraman.
It is such a pleasure to watch a very attractive young lady do what you do. Like going fishing with you and hubby. Keep them coming .please
That will work... Thanks for sharing... made my day...
Great raised beds
There is nothing as wonderful as having a pair of slobber dogs helping out with the chores. Thanks for choosing our upcoming meal, Yep, it's going to be lasagna.
Great video
I can almost taste a vine ripe tomato sandwich now! Mmmmmm!
Lordy - Nice beds
And your dogs very very beautiful
wonderful love to help you in garden
Good luck. Happy growing. Be safe.
I like it, they turned out nicely! Say Howdy to Josh for me please!
Good stuff keep on keeping on living the life y’all Covington Georgia
I came for the thumbnail. 😍
The view is spectacular
Moose is a riot playing with that clod of dirt!! LOL!!!
You guys make a great couple may God bless you and grant you all your wishes I wish the person my life was supporting what I want to do may God bless you wish you guys the best thank you
Great video. God Bless you both!!!
I'm tackling a version of this tomorrow. Thanks for the video. A biodegradable weed block or newspaper, corebuff rolled cardboard etc is needed here to stop weeds.
Be careful though, as it can also stop your roots. Thats why we didn't use cardboard here. The roots can continue into the lawn if they want.
Damn, those big potatoes 👌😅😍🤩
Looking good.
Good to see faithful Gustav is still true and loyal to the master lol
Lookin good Nina and Josh! Finally warm weather around the corner!
Its hilarious! Nobody ever says anything about the melons! I love gardening as much as the next person, but those are world class melons. Thanks for sharing.
Happy gardening and good eats 😊
good job,,, enjoy your work .. such a nice team work...
that's some low hanging fruit right there!👍
I should have mentioned, we got this untreated lumber extremely cheap, and we are only looking to get 2 years out of these beds. The goal is to buy land in the next year and develop something more permanent. Since we rent this house, permanence isn't an option and most other raised bed styles were more expensive. We built and filled all 3 beds for $120.
hunny bun you got to dig a hole as big as a 5 gallon bucket and back fill in with good soil mixture, it will and grow big maters.. trust me
My whole summer last year was based on that method and the plants didn't do well at all. The soil we have here is clay and doesn't drain. It would probly work better down south where there's more sand. I have multiple videos up on that method.
@@NinaRynd210 dig the hole then backfill it with store bought dirt and fertilizer, i mix in peat moss to hold moisture. i had mater plants 10 foot tall.. telling you what, go down to the river and take buckets and fill them river bank dirt, dump that in your holes,, see the stuff growing by the river right?..
When I lived in rentals, I grew everything in half barrels and nursery pots of that size. If you plan on doing the raised beds at the new place, spend the extra dollars up front and buy cypress or the heartwood of a hardwood, you will save money in the long run. Spread plastic sheets over the area for at least a couple of weeks before hand to solarize the soil. This will help kill the weeds, seeds, and nematodes. A couple of layers of clean, no waxes or glossy ink, cardboard or at least a half dozen layers of clean newspaper will stop many weeds and bugs from coming up from below. If you have a problem with moles or voles, put a layer of chicken wire or hardwear cloth under the bed.
Nina, y’all did a fantastic job putting those beds together. They look great. You have to work with what you have to work with and in the circumstances y’all did just fine. If you had access to a tiller you could grind up that dirt/clay and do as one person mentioned take some River soil or sand and mix with it. I know all about making do with what I have and when you are renting, like me, you only have a few options and you picked a good one. By the way I enjoy your channel. I never miss a video and God bless y’all,

thanks,sawdust and all
I bet this got people growing 😊
Getting out working together getting er done and having fun is what it's all about.
Love ya nina from way back. Keep up the great vids. Great job!!!
You guys are champs. Seems simple but never used raised beds because didn’t know how easy they go together.
If you can make a box that has no bottom, you've got a raised bed!
Your beds turned out great. Might be surprised how many years you can get out of those. More than you think. I use 40 gallon plastic barrels. Cut them lengthwise like two canoes. Then I stacked them in a holder that looks like a bunkbed frame. Same foot space but twice the grow space. Water the top and it drains out into the bottom one. No ground bugs either. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful 👍
Must be nice to be working outside, I live in northern Wisconsin and winter just won’t leave , can’t wait to start working in my garden.
Gonna be a nice garden! Nice work!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
LOOKIN GOOD NINA
Sorry, I can't lie like some of the others on here. I'm only on here to see Nina. Much respect to the husband.
Go find your own Nina. 😂😂 weirdo
Are u sure
I will build this week for the first time.
It's great that you are able to start fresh - with the advantage of knowing what worked or didn't work in the last garden. Can't wait to see your progress!
The best weed guards are the chaepes. I’ve used big cardboard boxes, an old roll of tar paper and even trash bags. Like the ones from Harbor Freight. They are cheap and are really not good for trash. Good luck you all. Later
NINA now has a lot of service 🇧🇷
Какие мастера 💪😎👍
Excellent job done on your raised beds 👍🏻
MAY ALL THE LORDS OF THE LAND BLESS NINA
Don't know what it's called in English, but i use a kind of a thin almost like paper cloth under the beds to prevent unwanted weeds to grow in the bed.
Doesn't prevent them all, but helps a lot.
Landscape fabric - some are better than others. The plastic type is stronger than the cloth type but yeah, weeds will find a way thru
Gulp! 🤤 Gardening never looked so good! 😉
I normally use a couple of old tires for my tomatoes here in Mississippi but those beds give me some new ideas.
Good idea. As the rubber breaks down they leach chems to soil.
God dam I didn’t realise gardening was so much fun
WOW. Nice to see you guys are settling into your new place. Nina you are really in your happy place now with some place to plant garden. Josh you are a smart man. When the lady is happy the whole house is happy. The kids did steal the show.
Looks good. I did the same 3 years ago with old barn board & they still have any year before I have to replace any!!
Great looking beds Nina. I can see you and Josh are making the new house home...happy gardening!
Congrats on your new home. You should rent a Roto tiller and forget about raised beds. They are a huge waste of time. Good Luck. Don't lose your ring!
You two are super handy dandy!! Can't wait till it warms up here so I can start!
thank you friend for all the information you are my inspiration to make my garden you already have a new subscriber
A great way to make a more permanent raised bed would be to purchase patio blocks and cement them standing on their sides.Cost would be about 50 dollars and would last 20 years.
We dont want permanent, that was part of it. We only need two years.
@@NinaRynd210 I understand, I only mentioned it because other people might be interested..Iam a fan of your channel,keep up the good work
I see your man has a USMC tat. My big bro' was a Marine. I was an Army shit. Bro' stayed stateside during Desert Storm. Uncle Sam sent my sorry ass to the desert. No regrets though. Taught me how to be a better human being. I'm happy to say that I never had to lock-n-load on another person.
great pair of beds Nina x
Just found your channel, really enjoy the content so far. Ya'll are awesome
Come on sweaty lets get the white see threw tops that would be great flavour things up
Ninja, always great to new beds going in. The same activity is going on in abundance in our neck of the woods, although we did get a freak storm with 4 inches of snow (mostly melted now). So that was a bit depressing, but watching your video sparks new enthusiasm for the garden. Thanks for Sharing!
When you start thinking about replacing your beds, find one of your local sawmills, and get red cedar boards. They won't decay, are resistant to termites... also, save your grass clippings. Your local recycling center probably will have free mulch.
We just bought a little push mower with a bag on the back. Ill be able to show off my new compost piles in upcoming videos! Good tip about the cedar
@@NinaRynd210 my friend in Branson actually uses cedar. He raises a beautiful garden every year. Uses wood chips between the beds to keep weeds down. He made a hoop greenhouse with livestock panels and heavy plastic.
Nina, you are very pretty and your husband is very lucky 🤩
Hey, if you were fighting your hubby for a dirt clod, would they say anything? I think not. Drilling pilot holes for your screws is the best think to do. It allows the screw to pull the board to the other without the screw pulling on both. Got to love a licker dog. Don’t you love the smell of fresh dog slobber in the morning?
Should put blocks in the Centre of double height box or they will bow out in the sun and when you fill it ☺
We used 3 inch screws. Should be ok.
Wow the taters are n I c e!
Got my sunflowers for the food plots started Sunday. I've got red solo cups with different trees started from seed scattered all over the place.....Going to skip veggie garden this year and concentrate on getting a lot of trees going. Thanks for the vid, Nina!
Ps-pro tip. If you're going to use untreated lumber for your raised beds, you might want to throw a couple coats of Kilz primer on them, inside and out. They'll last longer
Glad to see ya gardening again. I have used raised beds in the past but I always put some sort of weed guard down over the grass layer. This keeps most of the grass and weeds from growing upward. I'm not sure the lumber you used will last very many years. If you ever get a location that you own, then put concrete blocks down for the edges. Costs more but lasts forever.
Amazing I was just thinking about you and wondering if you had started to garden yet. My garden is about 75 percent in. Still got a few more rows to pull.wish I had a rotertiller. But at 62 y.o.a. it is always good exercise.
Happy
nice
I would try planting 🌽&🌻 in some grass areas; clear small areas for holes, so they can sprout without grass covering them!
The grass will grow around the plants later which will be alright!
Soak those seeds overnight, Very Important to do so!
They swell up and germinate quicker!
I plant mine on full moon or new moon, they grow better!

Good 👍
And all this time, I thought saw dust was man glitter.😂😂😂
That’s what it says on my shirt
Wanderful
Can we get a close up of that back fence sometime. It looks interesting.
Treated fence pickets work great too. Cheaper. The chemical used in the treatment process is safe for gardening. To save your back from digging, use cardboard to line the bottom, it kills the grass. Caulk the seams if you double stack. Water will seep out if you don't.
We had an issue with our last garden being too heavy and not draining, so we wanted to give the water more opportunity to seep out. The cardboard method is great, I just wasn't certain whether roots would grow through it. We didn't want them to encounter any root blocks. Have you had that issue?
I'd like to see more
Looks good! You might also consider self wicking tubs. I'm using 27 gallon totes. Cheaper than wood
good job, enjoy all of your videos, do a few HLC vid's and invite Michael in your videos, just sayin 👍❤
You Go Girl!!❤️
Enjoy your videos. Just an idea. Next time save yourself a ton of work. Just put a couple layers of cardboard down. Some old sticks logs on top then your good soil and compost. Cheers. Keep the videos coming.
The worms will love the cardboard and so will your soil
We were going to use newspaper or cardboard at the bottom, but I had read that a lot of roots won't punch through that, and since the beds are shallow, we didn't want to have a root barrier.
@@NinaRynd210 Don't forget the Fireball plant!
I couldn't get mine to sprout 🤣
Theyre finicky. Try planting a shot glass next to it, give it a little support. Lol
Nina great garden last year..try some Styrofoam in your soil about your carrots you will see a big differance..
I didn't know y'all had moved... Then again I haven't been getting notifications for your channel the past couple of months..
Interested in how your corn does. Please share harvest video. I think not enough corn will be grown to yield anything
The beds won't offer enough space for a good crop of corn, we're going to try a few rows just in the ground. We did this last year and the corn did great, but the squirrels got to it. Gonna have traps this year !
@@NinaRynd210 you said in video you were planting in raised bed that is why i asked. You need several rows for it to pollinate. Animals...raccoons are your enemy for corn. They know exactly when to steal and eat.
Yes, you're right! I quickly realized my mistake. I'll make that clear in the next video. Sometimes my ideas change while the camera is rolling! Lol. The corn I have asks for two feet between rows. My beds are only 3 feet wide!
@@NinaRynd210 it is a learning experience for us all. Best of luck and hope you find and buy you some property of your own soon.
@@NinaRynd210 Squirrel + corn + some other ingredients = Brunswick stew! 👍😉
Süper birşey ya bir kadının böyle işleri sevmesi 🥰
Nice looking Darling ❤️👍
Looks good . Did you have sticker shock at the lumber yard .... Crazy ...
Okay were in Illinois so after Easter I will get to work on it LoL have to build portable shed first
Would you like to try out some of our metal Raised beds?
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻 🇮🇳 Kuki 11|05|2022
Are those yellow pine deck boards? I made some garden boxes four years ago and still in OK condition using the low grade deck boards. Good luck getting your new place ready and organized.
I wonder how cender blocks would work
Wow she's a beauty!
