I had a 27 gallon plastic tote the bottom broke out of. I used it as a mini raised bed for my granddaughter's sunflowers. I thought the high sides would give them support. That was true, but I skipped your step of cardboard & brush in the bottom, just set up on grassy lawn, plenty of bagged soil. Transplant the sunflowers into it. MISTAKE TO SKIP THE CARDBOARD!! And the brush probably would have helped a lot, too! The grass has not climbed thru the 18 in of bagged soil, but it sucks ALL the moisture out of the bed!! We have a 15 gallon gro bag right next to the bottomless tote, and it requires half as much water!! (I agree with Lucy, her flowers would look lovely in the new Kingbird bed!!)
I think the cardboard definitely helps that first year to keep weeds and grasses down. Then when it breaks down it just feeds the worms! We’re growing a lot of things in 10 gallon grow bags this year, okra, potatoes, tomatoes, basically anything extra plants I don’t have space for in the garden beds I throw into the grow bags.
The trellis idea of simply pounding the stake into the ground outside the metal bed is a wonderful solution. I'm looking for ward to your "Build a Trellis for a Metal Bed" video!! The chicken compost is GREAT! My granddaughter's Bantam hens and my Barred Rocks are only 3 1/2 mos old, but they are making some great compost in their chicken yard. No eggs for a couple months, but we have our first batch of compost. I'm surprised and pleased that our chickens, raised together from hatch, are still getting along fine even tho the size difference is considerable.
That’s great! I’ve never raised bantam sized hens but I bet they’re great for anyone with not a ton of space for chickens. They do make amazing compost!
Great video! The bed looks awesome. That was hot work. Two questions, is the chicken compost straight from the run hot? Will the grass clippings decomposing create heat in the bed? Thank you. Val C
@@stephencameron1709 I do think it will create some heat. It would have been better if the grass had time to dry out in the sun before adding it. Or if it had access to straw that would’ve been better. But I’m not planting anything in it right away since it’s already so hot so hopefully in a week or so it will have broken down some.
Ok just wondered. I mulched potatoes with grass clippings once and it ended up killing them , generated too much heat. ☹️ I’m learning a lot from you! ❤🙏🏻
