I had no idea we had moles until I got a cat. He brings at least one a day to the back porch. It’s crazy ! We have had plants just disappear before and had no idea why. I guess now we know! The new beds are awesome. Looking forward to seeing how productive they are this year for y’all.
I’ve used hardware cloth on all of my beds for 20 years. We have a horrible gopher problem. Normally we build with wood and staple the wire on. I love how you’re doing these beds. The double layer of weed fabric. The whole set up. For my new homestead we’re switching to metal beds so your demonstration has convinced me I’m on the right track. I can’t wait to watch how they progress.
I appreciate so very much how you explain things. I am a "need to understand the thought process and reasoning" person. So many people just do not function that way anymore. Thank you.
I hate those rodents ( moles/voles)!! I didn’t know I had them until last year when they ate my whole crop of onions! This year I planted my onions in a raised container. It’s an old cattle water trough that was cracked and wouldn’t hold water. I drilled drainage holes in the bottom sat them and cinder blocks and filled them with soil. I was gifted 4 of them. Sure makes gardening easier on the back.
Danny I don’t have a big garden like you ( actually a dozen bucket but with other factors put my RN training to use & I prioritize everything like “ triage” & God is beyond generous…. You are such an amazing teacher… I am sure that God will give me the words ( I learned from you) when I need them! Gods Blessings!!!!!❤️🔥💁🏻♀️
Danny please please walk us through this process, teach us, talk to us STEP BY STEP AND THE WHY'S... THE END WALLS AS WELL .. HOW TO BUILD THE WHY'S AND HOW TO'S .. This is such a STICKING POINT FOR SO MANY, myself included.. Many thank yous are still not sufficient. GOD BLESS YOU AND MS. WANDA❤
That's gonna be a good looking high tunnel when it's full of food. I have a small amount of land I can't space my beds that fall apart lol. We do very well with what land we have to grow in.
I thought about doing this with our raised beds in our greenhouse but didn't. Ready to dig it all out and start over. Between the crawfish, moles, and voles digging holes in my beds about to about fit to be tied with these buggers. Thank y'all for sharing and have a blessed day.
Good morning, Its so nice to see you starting this at Pecan Grove ❤ I agree 100% about wooden raised beds ,We put in 6 wooden 4x8 wooden raised beds back in 2016 , then switched to metal , as with the sun, humidity, my husband and our oldest son has had to re-fix the wooden beds , Our metal beds have been great ! 👍 Im very happy for both of yall , We started our seeds on heating mats last weekend ,light are already still on our shelving from last year , Ive been babysitting our onions ,making sure to fertilize and water 💧 weekly , as Oh my 1 onion cost me $1.76 last week , I will be so happy to have onions again this year ( as last year we couldnt plant any onions due to my horrible back surgery & sepsis I did survive ,but my back isnt good ) But my husband has truly done things to help me this year out in our gardens , a rolling seat for me to weed etc..... Yes, please, everyone plant what you truly eat , We decided not to plant regular potatoes this year , not good for my husband being diagnosed with diabetes, to many carbs , So planting more low-carb veggies this year . God bless you both and hoping Mrs. Wanda is feeling better , I know its a daily struggle for me to get up and push myself ... Great content as always . Mrs josette Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
I like what your doing with the covering and hardware clothe. Should keep moles/voles out and also extend the life of the hardware clothe. I know time is of essence to get this done so can get to planting and get stuff growing. Also probably easier to get some of this done before the high tunnel is covered and can get the heavy stuff and soil in there. Those raised beds are nice and will save you time and money in long run. Won't be needing to spend on rebuilding more. Thanks for sharing what your doing. Many blessings to both you and Wanda.
Danny, Wanda really enjoyed your live show. Y'all were so happy. I could feel the joy in Danny with you being well. GOD BLESS Y'ALL!! Danny your such a good teacher!!
That looks so nice y'all! We broke down and bought four of the Vego beds that are 32 inches high since we're both in our seventies and are tired of bending over. I believe it's going to be a game changer. We still have 10 of the 11 inch deep cheap metal beds, and few wooden ones along with tons of grow bags. The grow bags are set up bleacher style and my peppers do great in them. Just a few changes every year is nice and hopefully one day our kids will make good use of them.
Yes, this is exactly how my beds are set up. You can also use card board boxes in your raised beds. It takes time to get started especially when you have been ill. I love my raised beds and can grow row crops of the ground. They work really well for potatoes. I was doing the same thing yesterday before the rain. Worked on the expansion of cage and back yard patch.
🙏🙏🙏🙂♥️🕊. Awesome Job I'm using 55 gallon 1/2 barrels and using my self watering system. To cold the plant up here now but I am trying to get set Up so when it's ready I'll be ready to go. Thank you for all your tips. God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That's going to be a REALLY NICE high tunnel!! Think your critter deterrent system will work, too! We don't seem to have a mole or vole problem. We always seem to have a King Snake that patrols the garden, and a few Rat Snakes around, too. They seem to do a good job with the small critter business.
We were just looking at hardware cloth and looking at the idea of putting it under any more raised beds we put in. It looks like we are starting to have a mole/vole issue here.
I just checked out their site (didn't use Mr. Danny's link as I'm not buying right now.) But they're showing a president's sale of B1G1, 20% off + special offer for select items. They have a 32" extra tall 9 in 1 modular metal raised garden bed kit, not a bad price. I'm on the poor side, but these would be worth getting (especially if you have to buy lumber (which isn't cheap in my neck of the desert). Ooh in the Classic garden bed tab, they have special shapes .. i may finally be able to something with my front flower bed. Ok ... b4 i go broke in my dream bank, gotta get back to work 😅 Thanks for sharing how your setting up your hoop house, someday, that'll be checked off for me 😅
Thanks Danny for another excellent video of how you did it. When you showed us the video introducing us to that raised bed I was shocked. I wanted to do this about a decade ago, but these type beds were outragiously priced then. They are affordable now. A couple of mine are due replcing soon, so I already ordered ahd recieved them. I will be ordering more as time goes on and Itime permits. Thanks again. Stay strong friend.
Danny, to keep voles out you need 1/4" screen. They can get through the 1/2" holes. Do a search on the differences between mole hills and vole holes and look around your property and you will know what you got. But in my experience if you got one you got the other.
Thank you Danny and Wanda for showing the placement of the hardware cloth and weed prevention fabric. I purchased mine for the back of my house and will be using it after the storm snow we're getting has melted here in Massachusetts 😊
I put in 13 metal raisedneds one year ago 9 are Vego . Excellent quality their sales are fantastic at least one uear ago I didnt put anything underneath hope I dont regret it,mycatdig and kill moles
Love It. Thank you for sharing your Thoughts, Knowledge and Experience along with all your trial and errors in growing plants. My family and I love your channel. Thank You.
I purchased some of that wire because I have a problem with moles or voles tunneling in my raised beds. I had to remove the soil from my beds, place the wire, and then replace the soil. I am using it for the first time this year.
I live in Southern California and we have gophers here. I have to put hardware cloth under every bed. Last year I had to remove all the soil in my 30ft x 4ft raised bed and put down wire. It was hard work but no plants died last season because of gophers. They keep trying to get in but so far they have not been successful.
Thanks for sharing your plans. Wishing you and Wanda the best of health and futures. Wish this channel was named “Deep Pecan Grove “ so it would appear with Deep South in my alphabetic list. It would save searching down the list. I seem to always watch the first of the alphabet before the later.lol 😉❤️🙏🏻
Danny, I have also planned using the same hardware cloth when I am able to coordinate my help in making myvrsised beds. I plan on putting down cardboard first. I like your implementation of using ground cloth to protect it. I also have contemplated utilizing the copper hardware cloth for potential to capture the ground release of electrons. Not sure it would be worth it, I do not know of any studies on this but the basic theory with the copper coils leads to this as being a feasibility. It would capture the energy from the earth itself rather than the air. Thank you for your knowledge and experience. Your videos have confirmed some of my thought processes regarding how to do my raised beds. With my back and neck issues I can no longer dig in the ground but raised beds and containers make it feasible along with ways to inhibit pests and provide cold weather mitigation as I live above the frost line. We have not had our yearly hard frost yet.
We put hardware cloth in all of our raised beds that sit on the ground. Also have it under the dirt floor of our newest chicken run to keep voles and mice out. Just put in a polytunnel, and set the beds on top of the landscape ground cover on the floor of the tunnel.
@vickisavage8929 my problem in my older run is that mice and voles were able to dig under the hardware cloth I had around the perimeter and would come in at night looking for food and making a mess. Since the chickens were asleep in the coop they weren't able to catch them. Yes, they absolutely will eat them if they can catch them! It's like watching a flag football game with everyone chasing the one with the mouse or snake or lizard!
I replaced my bed with these last year. My wood beds were only 4 years old but completely crumbling from ants and termites. Probably would have cost the same to replace with wood because of the price of lumber. But this way I know I'm not going to be replacing them in another 4 years.
I am watching this video for a second time , I learn something new Every time I watch one of your videos.. something revelant to me ….im having a hard time getting reliable people to finish my high tunnel for me , so I’m gonna go ahead and build the beds in it … something that I can do
So .. this is the 3rd time to watch this video … I decided that I need to put the hardware cloth down under my Vego beds … if I’m gonna put another layer of ground cover down, I’m going further out with it on the ends of the high tunnel, so I don’t have to weed eat so much around it
I’m gonna put my beds in before the plastic is put on.. thank you so much for showing this.. I have a mole or vole also … only seen one..but may as well do it as a precaution … I haven’t bought any hardware cloth in a while … I hate to ask how much it cost
Goodmorning Danny and Wanda, thank you for this video. I have noticed many people in many different states are having a mole/vole problem. I bought some vego beds for my garden I haven't put them together yet . I have ground cover down, do you think the critters can get through the ground cover without the hardware screen? Love your videos.
Mice, rats and groundhogs are my ground problem so I used the same idea - ground cover below then 1/2" hardware cloth stapled to the bottom of my raised beds. Nothing gets through that hardware cloth.
I forgot to tell you that milky disease spore will get rid of the grubs that moles eat. They also eat earthworms though. They don't eat plants. Voles on the other hand, can devour an entire garden overnight. Ask me how I know.
I’m looking at getting some metal raised beds, but I will need the tall ones so I can garden from my wheelchair because I CAN’T bend down due to spine damage.
Sorry to hear about back issues. I know that can be painful and restricting. What I did was but some galvanized tunes at 2nd hand stores. Got some cinder ..concrete blocks. Stood blocks up on end and leveled. Put tubs on top, fill with dirt. No bending at all. Whatever you do. Don't quit. Never give up.
Could the weed barrier by itself prevent voles from coming up? I'm using 29" raised garden beds, put down the professional weed barrier followed by 4" of gravel. My raised garden beds aren't filled yet.
Is it possible that the pronunciation of the name of the raised beds is like vegetable? Vego? I don't know, but that might be it. I knew Wanda was wondering about the correct way of saying it in the other video. They are nice beds. I've seen several you tubers using them lately.
I am getting ready to cover my 25 X 30 greenhouse - since I am in zone 5 with lots of snow I am planning on a solid cover instead of plastic - an I nuts???
It’s obvious that y’all are putting in a massive investment in time, labor, and money for the new greenhouse. I pray that He rewards your efforts with the abundance that only He can provide. The wise see trouble coming and prepare against it. The simple don’t, and suffer for it. HE shut the door of the ark.
I have ordered my first Vego bed. I got the 6 ft. I have a question. I will be putting it on a concrete pad. What do you suggest to put under it being on concrete?
I put that hardware clothe In my raised beds also . It really helps keeping the critters from digging up the vegetables from underneath he ground.
I had no idea we had moles until I got a cat. He brings at least one a day to the back porch. It’s crazy ! We have had plants just disappear before and had no idea why. I guess now we know! The new beds are awesome. Looking forward to seeing how productive they are this year for y’all.

@@allaboutabasket absolutely. I couldn’t garden without it.

love the new style garden beds. So smart to use them and not worry about it for at least 20 years. God bless
Thank you, Danny and Wanda for this video. God is good all the time.
Loved that foot shuffle. Great job on the high tunnel.
Danny please please walk us through this process, teach us, talk to us STEP BY STEP AND THE WHY'S...
THE END WALLS AS WELL .. HOW TO BUILD THE WHY'S AND HOW TO'S ..
This is such a STICKING POINT FOR SO MANY, myself included..
Many thank yous are still not sufficient.
GOD BLESS YOU AND MS. WANDA❤
❤You're working smarter, not harder and that's excellent! It is looking very nice!
Showing us how to prepare our high tunnels for optimal growing success is very helpful. Thank y'all so much. Take care.
That's gonna be a good looking high tunnel when it's full of food. I have a small amount of land I can't space my beds that fall apart lol. We do very well with what land we have to grow in.

So quiet at PG. Makes it such a pleasure to be working in peace.
I love the precision you use when building anything. If you get it right in the first place you don't have to take it apart and redo it.
As the wise old woman told the complaining child, “What?! You don’t have time to do it right, but you have time to do it OVER?!”
Good morning, Its so nice to see you starting this at Pecan Grove ❤ I agree 100% about wooden raised beds ,We put in 6 wooden 4x8 wooden raised beds back in 2016 , then switched to metal , as with the sun, humidity, my husband and our oldest son has had to re-fix the wooden beds ,
Our metal beds have been great ! 👍
Im very happy for both of yall ,
We started our seeds on heating mats last weekend ,light are already still on our shelving from last year ,
Ive been babysitting our onions ,making sure to fertilize and water 💧 weekly , as Oh my 1 onion cost me $1.76 last week ,
I will be so happy to have onions again this year ( as last year we couldnt plant any onions due to my horrible back surgery & sepsis I did survive ,but my back isnt good )
But my husband has truly done things to help me this year out in our gardens , a rolling seat for me to weed etc.....
Yes, please, everyone plant what you truly eat ,
We decided not to plant regular potatoes this year , not good for my husband being diagnosed with diabetes, to many carbs , So planting more low-carb veggies this year .
God bless you both and hoping Mrs. Wanda is feeling better ,

Love how you have come up with a plan for fixing the possible freeze, by moving beds away from the walls. Very ingenious by a simple movement.
Makes lots of sense. Boy… the expense never stops does it? 🥴
Never
Your raised beds will be awesome. Hardware cloth is a great idea. I aways enjoy your videos. Thank you!

I like that idea of your high tunnel. I’m going to do something like that my back won’t let me do what I want to do
AMEN BRO. THANK YOU ALL FOR THESE VIDEOS, SUCH VALUABLE INFO.
Thank you so much for this video. I have problems with voles and will be putting in my Vego beds this month. This helped me so much
Thank you both for sharing all the details on this build very useful. Both of you are truly a blessing
I like the process for your raised beds Danny !
Great idea! We have Voles, as well... sooo gonna try this

Not really.

Are you gonna eventually put them down the middle of the high tunnel too
@tambth9707 we will use mineral tubs in the middle.

Goodmorning Danny and Wanda, thank you for this video. I have noticed many people in many different states are having a mole/vole problem. I bought some vego beds for my garden I haven't put them together yet . I have ground cover down, do you think the critters can get through the ground cover without the hardware screen?

Probably. You would be surprised at what they can chew through. Rats are even worse.
Yes they will.
Mice, rats and groundhogs are my ground problem so I used the same idea - ground cover below then 1/2" hardware cloth stapled to the bottom of my raised beds. Nothing gets through that hardware cloth.
I'm in WI, voles are terrible. I put wire mesh under each bed. Nasty things.
We got a beeper devise you stick in the ground and got rid of them.
I forgot to tell you that milky disease spore will get rid of the grubs that moles eat. They also eat earthworms though. They don't eat plants. Voles on the other hand, can devour an entire garden overnight. Ask me how I know.

My yard is like walkin on a sponge. 😢😢😢
Castor beans gets rid of moles but they're poisonous.
