    My God! This project is the most complex on this side of the London Gardens! It's hardened in case of nuclear war. While this is a fantastic channel, the time and money investment to do a project to this degree of completion scares the hell out of 75% of would-be gardeners. There are other ways to achieve results without this level of execution. Make no mistake, that this is not criticism rather a rare YT declaration of excellence. But I'm exhausted just watching it.

    Absolutely incredible. I’m browsing UA-cam to see some ideas for raised garden beds for my aging parents. They love to garden but still do it old school and planting directly onto the floor. Your video is meticulously made and your raised beds look like they will last decades. There’s so much work put into the leveling of the floor that it’s a bit intimidating. Thank you for sharing your work. I can only hope that I can create something decent like your garden. 💚

    Thank you Kyle for showing what's possible here in Sacramento! With your inspiration I finished Part 1 of my dream garden just in time for this spring planting. My dad told me to leave a comment here telling you we had a blast building two redwood raised beds (4'x13') and (4'x15') out in my front yard with river rock paths. You did a thorough job, at some times crossing the line of OCD when it comes to growing vegetables. Don't worry, I danced that line the whole time with my project as well when I was treating the raised beds like furniture pieces. Attention to detail and a little extra thought in the process makes work like ours stand above the rest. Next Project is transforming my old in ground garden space in the backyard to a fruit tree forest like you did as well. Keep up the dedicated work and best of luck this growing season!
