- Hi!
Today we are making an easy and SIMPLE diy raised garden bed!!!!
If you are looking for some budget friendly ideas for the garden, This video is for you!!!!
So all together this bed cost under $5!
Fence- $3
Plastic -$1
Pins - .12 ¢
Landscape Fabric - .84¢
Total Price we paid $4.96
I'm happy to break it down for you.
COST BREAKDOWN
Fence (4ft tall)- $1 per foot
I used 3 feet of fencing which made the fence 3 by 4.
I cut that in half, which gave me two pieces of 3 by 2 ft pieces.
I put those two 3ft pieces together and created a 6 ft piece (circle) that was 2 ft high.
This frame cost $3
Landscaping pins - $1 (that I actually bought at the end of last season for 25 cents a pack)
I used maybe half a pack so thats 12.5 cents
I did not buy liner I used plastic we already had but a box of black trash bags from the dollar store would be plenty enough.
Let's go ahead and count that dollar.
That would put us at $4.12 cents
The landscape fabric cost $12 for a 4x100 ft roll.
If we divide that 100 feet by 12 we understand that it's about .12 cents per foot.
I used 7 ft which equals 84 cents
Fence- $3
Plastic -$1
Pins - .12 ¢
Landscape Fabric - .84¢
Total Price we paid $4.96
ASSEMBLY:
Here's what I did for a 6ft round bed-
3 feet of 4 ft fencing - cut in half, giving you 2 pieces of 3 ft fencing that is 2 ft high.
attached both pieces together to creat a circle.
zip tied them together
secured the bottom to the ground with landscaping pins.
lined the inside with plastic. Trash bags, shower curtains or even plastic table cloths work great.
Cover the outside with landscape fabric!
and that's it!!!!

For your watermelon add some sand to your soil. That has been our key to raising good melons.
Thats so good to know!!!! Thank you!
My husband's hometown was known for melon production many years ago. The soil is very sandy in the whole area.
I definitely need to get some sand! Thanks for chiming in!
Hi is it river sand?
Thanks for the tip. I started melons inside, and am going to.plant over the weekend. I'm planting along our fence to hang the fruit in plastic grocery bags on the fence. I saw it in a video here on yt.
I have been using a child's swimming pool with holes in the bottom for the last 10 years. Works like a charm
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 That's amazing!
My neighbour made a similar bed, which he planted with strawberries. To ensure that he got to eat some of them, he used an old umbrella, from which he had removed all but the outside 2" of fabric, as a form to support netting over them. A piece of piping buried in the middle of the bed, with the umbrella handle dropped in to it, netting stretched over & pegged to the bed frame with clothes pegs for easy access. The bees could get in, but the birds were barred.
That's so cool and clever. Last year my first time to plant strawberries birds 🐦 got a lot of them. 🍓
Very very cool!!!!!
It so good to garden❤
I'd love to see how it has weathered!
There are some natural things that squirrels and EVEN Birds hate. I have read n I have an old newspaper article about what plants to PLANT NEXT' TO EACHOTHER TO HELP KEEP slugs n stuff away from your perhaps greater food/ vegetable. Y'all might have to ask GIIGLE about such n SELF- rushing corn meal gets rid of some things. My great Aunt used to put in her FANTASTIC VEGGIES!!? SHE WAS LIKE A QUEEN GARDENER !!! A GIFT TO US!!!
Girl, your joy is infectious ❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 .... This blessed my heart
"Little to no money" is my type of jam when it comes to gardening!! 😂 🤩
YASSSSS
@@ourfreedomsong yah i grew potatoes on a cardboard box last year.
Oh, and use CARDBOARD boxes instead of expensive plastic, to suppress weeds- then lay the blackest weed barrier, put some wood chips on top- You can find boxes anywhere pretty much- no stickers, no ink or not a lot of it- It works and water can go thru it- and the benefit is for the worms and the earth :) xox
Thank you ❤️ 🌱
Great job it’s looking amazing all your hard work is really paying off so you can sit back with a cold drink, chill out & admire your creation 👍🌱🌷🌱🇨🇦
Most times when people say "I build this for super cheap" they mean "I had all these super specific and really awesome things lying around that I could use". What good is that to me? Some fencing, now THAT is helpful.
Your enthusiasm is so inspiring, new subscriber here.
Hi!!! WELCOME! Im so glad you are here and most of all that this was helpful! ❤️
Awesome use for repurposing the file cabinets..love that!!..also enjoyed seeing everyone pitch in..so much better than stuck indoors on their phones 😊
Yes!! I love that they can be outside with me! I just love that we get to have these moments together ❤️!
Why not use cardboard instead of landscape fabric. The thing about the landscape fabric is it will eventually cause the ground to become compacted and nutrient deficient. If you use cardboard it will breakdown over time and yes a weed or two will eventually pop through but it will still be easier to maintain then nothing at all. It will also feed the worms underneath and biodegrade naturally. You can always lay another layer directly on top of everything again a couple seasons down the road and top it with mulch again and it will be like lasagna gardening. I live in zone 7b Tennessee and deal with the most invasive grasses. This is how i combat them. It's not and end all solution but it helps a lot.
Cardboard is a really great option for all the reasons you stated! We did use this method on different areas on our property, just not in this spot. Not having plastic in this area is already proving to be beneficial as I can already tell that there aren't as many mosquitoes. Thank you for chiming in!
@@ourfreedomsong I just happened on this vlog. For free cardboard find yourself some girl scouts. Yes Girl Scouts during cookie season. Ask them if you could have some of the empty cookie cases. They will, I'm certain gladly let you have them. As a scout leader of many years, I can tell you, I will burn what I can't give away in the fire pit. Our rural area doesn't have recycling and we have to get rid of those cardboard cases.
That's such a good resource idea! Thanks for sharing!
i am barely a minute in and i barely care about the rest of the content because you have MADE MY DAY!!! your smile and excitement is contagious, and i LOVE it! ok....now, because i love frugal too, i am on to the rest of the video!
🥹🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 and now you've made mine ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How many bags of soil did it take to fill that 20 inches high 6 foot diameter circle?? That is the main cost for container gardening for me!!
About $30-35
@kaythegardener you don’t use hardly any soil-fill up the bottom with yard waste
I fill the bottom of my raised beds with sticks & straw, dirt at the end.
Great ideas!!! If you really want a good way to suppress grass/weeds and save some money…use cardboard!! Lay it out even over grass and put whatever dirt o mulching you want, cut holes in the cardboard for where you want plantings to go. Before you plant water the cardboard good…LOL Yeah water your cardboard and then start whatever you want. A garden bed, a pathway, anywhere you don’t want grass or weeds. It allows moisture to to flow through, it will keep the soil warm on those unexpected chilly nights, it will break down into the soil naturally providing nutrients to your friendly helpers, WORMS!!! I have had to replace my cardboard and redo s bed maybe every 3-4 years, but it depends on your weather and sun. I live in Upstate NY. I use cardboard everywhere 😂
Thank you so much for chiming in! This is how we began last year! I really appreciate cardboard!
Am I the only one who was expecting her to surround the outside with vertical bamboo stalks? Looks awesome 👌👏
oOoOO!!! I like where your brain was going with this! That would be gorgeous! 😍
@@ourfreedomsong Cool idea or maybe some of that bamboo screening stuff that comes on a roll. I love what you did here.
YESSSSS! That would be gorgeous as well!
@@justjoanish Thank you ❤️
Great idea!
Since you are building raised garden beds, then you can turn them into cold frames by making a roof with old windows or plexiglass as it will protect garden plants from snow and frost if you do it right. With a removable roof then you can practice crop rotation and have cold weather crops in winter.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I saw this while I was drinking on my couch.... being lazy.... I realized that I had a bunch of wire in the back of my house.... I got my lazy ass up and went out and plotted out where I am going to place mine!!!! Thank you so much for the idea!
Yassss!!!!! So happy to inspire you to GET UP 😆 and go outside and see what you have to make a space that you will be in love with ❤️
Taquisha strikes again!!!!!!! Your smile at the beginning of your video is contagious, I couldn’t wait to see what you had to share. Awesome/amazing raised bed (love it). Wow, I didn’t see it coming. You knocked it out the box. You are so creative. I love watching your videos. I think that removing the plastic was an excellent idea to rid your porch area of those pesky mosquitoes. Looking forward to your next video.😊😊😊😊
Agree!!!
Hi!!!! You are the sweetest!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed this!!!! Makes my heart so happy!!! 💝
When having a outside party take 2 lemons 🍋 and cut in half each one, poke into the top of the lemon juice whole cloves and set around for decoration! This will get rid of mosquitoes and other insects! Enjoy your summer ❣
Never heard of this!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
cardboard boxes is far better than landscaping fabric.
And free!
And biodegradable
Your enthusiasm is contagious! 🥰
Where there is a problem, let there be a creative solution! You DID IT!
If you get tired of the black landscape fabric look, cover with burlap or collect branches and attach as palisade fence. You could also cut holes into the fabric and plant flowers or strawberries hanging on the outside. I can honestly say you are today's garden muse!
🥰🥰🥰😍 I love all of your suggestions! Because at some point I could definitely want to change it up! I love all of those ideas! Planting strawberry is genius! How cool would that be! I will keep that in my pocket for next year! Thank you thank you!
@@ourfreedomsong
Thank YOU and you are most welcome 💞💞 Wished you were my neighbor; we would have a lot of fun together!
P.S.: If you want "free" strawberry plants, scrape the seeds off your strawberries, put a sheet of toilet paper into a clear container with lid, soak the toilet paper, put seeds on, and put the container in a warm, sunny place making sure toilet paper is not drying out. Once the seeds are germinating and have a couple of leaves on, pot them up using tweezers. I've done this several times with store bought strawberries that I thought were absolutely delicious, so I would get different varieties than the ones found in my garden section.
I AGREE !!! She about had me ready to go start on one at 0230 !!!
I get dead logs from the forest. 6 ten foot and 6 four foot. Two stakes side by side to hold the logs on each end, and a pair in the middle of the short side to hold the 4 footers. Line with cardboard, fill and plant. Free raised beds 🎉
Niiice! Thank you for the idea!
I love all your thrifty ideas but one of my favorite parts about this video was your daughter out there rocking it in the garden in a fancy little skirt and tall rubber boots! It made my day & I want to garden like that EVERYDAY!🥰
Keep the ideas & good vibes coming!
Awwwww 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I had to watch this video cuz the hype as of ur face n vibes in the first part of the video. I ain’t think no one else got hype bout gardening n saving money.😁😁😁go head get that garden onnn
Hahahahahaah! YASSSSS!!!! Thank you ❤️
I used a child swimming pool did holes in the bottom and it has been in use for over 3 years
Very cool!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have also used a child's swimming pool. It lasted two years then it fell apart.
@@RajaKing-rf3wk I was planning to use those until I saw the laundry basket hack.
Just watched another video that said dragonflies eat mosquitoes. Maybe if you cultivate a good habitat for dragonflies, you'll have fewer mosquitoes. Your garden looks terrific, by the way!
I need to look into what dragonflies love! They are so cool! I'd love to see them flying around!
Yaaaas.! Frugal......Cheap.....Free. They all seem to grow so much better. Not to mention how it feels when you chomp down on it. Lol!!
Hahahaha yes!!
Brenda Gantt said she has big pots of still water with cheap goldfish to get rid of mosquitos. The bugs are attracted to the water and lay eggs which the goldfish promptly eat. She sits on her open porch ( close by and never gets bitten.
Wow! What a great idea!!!!
What a crazy good idea for a raised bed! And yes, anything to keep mosquitoes away. I actually have some fencing in the shed which will get put to good use, and I've got a filing cabinet outside not being useful at all, so it's going to be a planter very soon!
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤩
First time viewer. Loved your channel and your warm personality.
Are all them kids your kids? Let me tell you, I just have to smile if they are ❤. The memories are flooding back to me from my childhood and there was five of us kids, an instant workforce for my dad and mom, as they made us work in the yard and garden, etc., etc.. we all complained along the way, but I tell you what… It gave us a love for gardening and the outdoors ❤
YASSS! They are all my babies! 😍
And I absolutely love that! I truly believe that this experience is cultivating something within their hearts that they are unaware of right now. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us ❤️
@@ourfreedomsong you are doing EXACTLY that, molding them! Many are content to let the video games and tv raise their kids, without making them get outside! I am thankful my parents taught me to touch the earth, grow things, etc etc!!!
Its not the container that is the cost of gold ...ITS THE DIRT 😂
😂😂😂 Truth... They killin us on these soil prices!
Use Styrofoam in bottom. Free! Less soil needed. Pots are lighter to move if you use them.
The fencing material has doubled in price since last year, i was looking into it last weekend. Because lately, I've been ordering cheap raised beds . And omg, it's about 180. 00 for the fencing material 😢. Recently my washing machine broke, and i saved the drum to plant something in it. Plus you can use old tires too. Just trying to use things that are around.
I used a washing machine inner drum for a fire pit. The outer tub, still on it's base, will be a planter. Also a dryer drum is about the size of her round bed but I haven't set it up yet.
Very cool!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love that you are looking around to see what you can use 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Get hummingbird feeders , humming birds eats thousand of mosquitoes
Whaaaaa!!! I didn't know this!
Perfect timing! I need 2 more raised garden beds and I’m doing this!!! One for watermelon and one for pumpkins!
Thank you for this!!! ✨✌️💗🙏🏻🧿🌱✨
Oh that sounds perfect! Im so happy to inspire you! ❤️ 🌱
These are some great ideas, and I love your enthusiasm! I am a single mom, struggling to make ends meet, but I have a huge yard. I found you by looking for inexpensive raised beds. You did NOT disappoint!! Thank you for sharing your experience!
This makes my heart so happy to read!!!!! I LOVE that you were able to search and ACTUALLY find something that is helpful!!!
I JUST posted a $5 bed update a few moments ago!!! I explain what went well and what I would change! Let me know if you have any specific questions! I'm happy to help!
Sweetheart, your excitement is contagious! Makes me want to hurry up and get outside! Thank you for sharing.
Ahhhh! Yassss!!! That makes me so happy to read! ❤️
I’m gunna do that! Great idea - thanks! I’ll be using burlap instead of the landscape fabric. Burlap comes in huge rolls cheap and natural / non toxic - plus! I already have it
Love the idea of using burlap! Gives me options for the future if/when I need to recover! Thank you ❤️
I love burlap but the stuff at the box stores is more like a cat's cradle than cloth these days- the stuff online looks better, but it's going to cost; the quality has gone drastically down.
nasturtiums would be good to plant around the edge of the round planter because the could hang over the sides - and they are edible.
Ooooo that's such a great idea! I will stick that in my pocket! Thank you for chiming in!!! ❤️
I use this method too. It works well.
Where possible, I dig out 12" of dirt from the bottom & set aside on a tarp. I fill the dug out hole with semi rotten wood, old limbs & fat sticks to create a modified hugel bed bottom to retain moisture. I go higher with the wood to take up more space if possible. Then lay in leaves, pine needles & smaller sticks. I mix well rotted compost with the set aside dirt for the top. I find I get less settling that way & it cuts down on buying bagged products. Since raised beds tend to dry out quicker, it helps to have the hugel bottom & native soil in the bed. I've stopped using landscape fabric for lining & use a double cardboard liner.
I grow peas or beans around the exterior for camouflage.
Niiice!
Looks great! I love your energy and vibe! So I subscribed! Take care!😀
WELCOME! I'm so happy you are here ❤️
No Shame in Budget friendly living! Thrifty😊♥ 'S Rock! Your garden Paradise is Amazing!
You are Amazing! GOD BLESSES ALL OF US!
Thrilled to see family participate in work😊
🥰🥰🥰🥰 You are so kind ❤️ Thank you!
That was a great idea 💡. I made a video the other day and I used old tires as raised beds that I got for free from auto shops. I have a few rolls of the same wire you used and I'm using it for the cukes and squash and beans. Great video 😊 have a great day and happy gardening 🌿🌱😊🤗
Very creative! I love it!!! So happy this is helpful!
The pblack plastic will only last one, mabe 2 years. Might need to think of some other material like landscape fabric to line it next time.
Absolutely! Already thinking I need to take it out after spring! Thank you ❤️
Cardboard lasts quite a while & attracts worms 🪱. By the time it degrades the soil will l be fairly stable.
Just a tip from a DYI gardener. There is a fabric you can purchase called Vevor driveway fabric. It allows for drainage but does not allow for weed growth. I am using this fabric to put in my driveway and garden paths and works like a charm without having to deal with weeds or standing water. I learned about it from a contractor who uses this stuff along for putting in weed free paths and driveways. It is also used commercially for putting in parking areas when a company does not want to deal with grading an area for water drainage. I have spoken with several other gardeners and they have told me this stuff is more durable than standard weed blocking fabric.
Thanks so much for sharing! I've never heard of it! It sounds wonderful!!!
Kiss your brain. This is an excellent and economic way to do raised bed. I definitely will be doing this. Thanks for sharing!! Peace and love 😍
Hi!!!!!! Im so happy this helps you out!!! Our bed is holding up great!!!
Miss L, I am completely swept away by your great ideas, enthusiasm, your precious loving heart, and your kindness to share with the rest of us. Thanks so much! I am a fan forever! Stay blessed!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 So many sweet words! Thank you ❤️ I'm so glad you are here!
I use cheap rectangular shaped birdhouses, block off the entrance hole, glue a piece of skinny balsa wood tube shape up inside the house,for a perch, cut out the bottom and hang my DIY Bat house up at least 15 feet from the ground on a sunny side of the house. These little sweeties eat their weight of nasty biting bugs in one evening. I don’t have a mosquito problem anymore. I also put pots of lemon balm around sitting spaces because their strong scent does not appeal to biting bugs.
Hollywood gave bats a bad name, they are shy, only really want to sleep during the day and wake up at dusk to begin clearing your yard of nasty bugs,
Love the file cabinet planter never would’ve thought of them being used that way. Love how you made your round planter.
She’s speaking my language.. cheap 😂😂
YASSSSS
Very clever! Thank you for the great time and money saving idea.
So happy to share!!!!! Thank you!
Last spring we visited a nursery and they had mosquito plants, so I bought two, they grew like a small to medium bush size and I did not see one mosquito the entire summer!! The mosquito plant is a winner!!!
Whaaaa !! I've never heard of a mosquito plant! I would plant them everywhere hahha
You are so beautiful I love your smile and the idea that makes a rease bed for nothing. That was a good idea. Good luck to you looking forward to seeing more
🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much for those sweet words ❤️!!!!
Gotta say you have a very impressive smile. With your raised bed you might want to find some old stakes and place against the wall so it doesn't sag with the weight later .Not sure if you can get a citronella plant in US but over here in Australia we get so many mozzies in the summer. Some are so big I swear you could put a saddle on them. I have a couple of citronella plants near the front and back door . If you shake them around a bit every time you pass them the smell will deter the dreaded mozzies. Marigolds deter the snails and slugs more. Happy gardening.
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
And WHOOOO that's incredibly big! I don't think i would survive! They would come straight for me and drink every bit of my blood hahaha
So glad to find your channel! Your smile and disposition is contagious! I caught myself smiling back at you. Thanks for the awesome tips!!
"Smiling back at me" 🥰🥰🥰 I love that I could bring a smile to your face ❤️!! Im so happy you've found us!
Lavender requires sand... Every year I add play sand to my lavender.. it grows with eagerness!
Wow! I didn't know this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Good ideas, I like finding cheaper options too.I used an old boxed spring mattress for a garden bed just turned it upside down and filled it with topsoil it worked well.
😍😍😍 How cool is that?!?!
Well I am so impressed with your infectious enthusiasm and joy .I feel a wonderful positive energy coming from you I just bet you are a super nice and thoughtful person .I wish you so much enjoyment and abundance in all you do .your soul is glowing oh and thank you for this great idea .I'm disabled and cannot dig so this would help me out hugely
🥰🥰🥰🥰 You are so kind ❤️ Thank you for taking the time to speak so lovingly! ❤️
New subscriber I’ve watched a few of your videos and I absolutely love them keep them coming🤙🏻🌱
Makes me happy! WELCOME!
Love your energy and your beautiful family. Thank you for such a detail tutorial
Great set up! Since you used landscape fabric if you chose you could actually cut a small slit in it and plant seedlings into the sides. You garden bed could be a garden tower for small plants such as herbs and lettuces. Which would actually make a beautiful living wall. Also consider mulching the top of the bed to keep moisture in and weeds down. Pinestraw would work or other plants that you chop and drop on top from your garden. Another addition would be an inbed worm tower. All you have to do is get a good sized food grade platic bin with a lid such as a large coffee container or mayo jar drill holes and add some kitchen scrapes and dead leaves and bury it in the bed. The worms will come.
Very very cool!!!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
The universe knows what I need and I needed this! I decided to do raised beds this year and was put off by the costs. I have all things to make them already around the house. You've made me so excited 😊 Thanks!
Ahhh! Im so happy for you! Im happy you are inspired! ❤️
File Cabinet Planters now that I'd love to see...and i did..Thank you for the idea for my soon to be empty file cabinet..Beautiful
Yes!!!! You are so welcome!
I just saw that smile and clicked the video ....great work
Thank you so much! So sweet 💞
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow! ❤️👏🏻✌🏻🌻🌼
Yessss
This is my first video with you and its so valuable thank you!
That makes my ❤️ so happy!!! Welcome! Im so glad you stopped by!
You could have put old wood, leaves, grass clippings, straw etc. in the bottom as a filler that would feed your plants to save a lot of money!!!!!
Yep, use that to fill it almost 3/4 of the way, otherwise it's wasted$$$ .
YESSSS Love it, Gurl Smart Idea! You can plant so much in that. I am glad you removed the plastic and just put fabric down. TFS
That plastic was giving those mosquitoes and quiet upper hand! It didn't even dawn on me!
And
Thank you!!!!! ❤️
When you plant flowers , watering them when you plant them…
Great idea I love it love your energy I wish you were my neighbor so positive you are an inspiration God bless you and yours. PS love your video and your family.
Having a gardening friend who is also a neighbor would be AMAZING! Thank you for your kind words and your support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very inspirational! Yes and I like frugal too .. Really is a nice visual as well. Think you've done much for many of us ..
Thank you ❤️
Did you add Epsom Salt,and 🌎 EARTH WORMS...WORMS MAKE EVERYTHING GROW BETTER...
I didn't! But now you have my wheels turning! Looking forward to hearing how you use the epsom salt!!
Marigolds also repel deer and other critters because they don’t like the smell.
My plan was to plant so many this year!!! Thank you thank you!!!!
P.S. I'm writing from Melbourne Australia, this means you're an international celebrity!
🥰🥰🥰🥰 That's so cool! Australia is one place that my husband REALLY wants to visit some day!
THE MOST HIGH YAH be Praised!
Your children are Rockstar helpers! You are blessed! 😊😊😊
I am ❤️ Thank you so much!
FYI: African marigolds are the best at insect repelling..
Thank you sharing!! I've never heard of African Marigolds!
Love your enthusiasm ❤️ it just pours out and inspires others, great job!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰 It blesses my heart tremendously knowing that ❤️
You can also line the chicken wire with carboard for more support.
It,w hog wire. Chkn is octagon and twisted.
Brilliant! Im starting a garden this year and instead of having my son build me wooded above ground garden this will work better (cheaper) to make several in my back yard. I'm planting red yarrow to keep the deer from eating my garden up marigolds as well and nasturtium to repel beetles since I have lots of trees around. So many different flowers that are edible and repel bugs and critters. 🙂 Good luck with yours and hope you finally get watermelon to grow for you.
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
Sweet Baby Jesus, please tell me you made a video on the filing cabinet planters!! I've got two huge filling cabinets that I was about to get rid of. I'm gonna search thru your other videos right now because that is an amazing idea ! Thank you for sharing with us in such an enthusiastic way !
Im so glad you found the video!!!!!! So exciting that you don't have to throw them away!!!
Oh, you're so right. I hate waste but I don't want to be a harder lol. Thank you so much for making these videos !
I wouldn't accomplish half my DIYs without all the content created on RUclips. Yall are amazing !
😍😍😍
😆😆😆😆
Just found your channel and I love it already! I love cheap! We found a discarded round firepit that is now used for succulents.
Hi!!! WELCOME! That's so awesome about the succulent fire pit!
I found one as well and recently put mint and lemon grass on it!
There are SO useful!
Im so happy you're here! ❤️
I plant marigolds around my vegetable garden. No presticides needed.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Chicken wire is cheap. Put it on bottom of raised bed. Keeps rodents out.
Great idea! Thank you ❤️
Hard wire cloth, actually it is wire fencing with very small squares I had problem one year with something, figured it was moles or voles coming up from under ground and eating all my carrots..the next year redid that raised bed laid hard wire cloth under the bed frame and two foot out all around no problems after that did same thing with strawberry bed when I made it..not cheap to buy at first but lasts super long time and almost one and done thing
What a Great Idea!! Thank you so much!
I was just looking at raised garden beds at the big box stores, way too much money! This is brilliant!
I'm so happy this is helpful ❤️❤️❤️
Please always wear garden gloves to prevent fungus in your nails.
Had no idea I could get fungus in my nails from gardening!
@@ourfreedomsong I've never worn gloves and never had a problem. I always wash my hands thoroughly and clean under my nails after "playing" in the dirt. P.S. I just found your channel and Love it! My family is from SC. When we visit the relatives we call it going home. Also I was planning to get rid of my file cabinet. Glad I found this 💞 I've been playing in the dirt for 60 years. I always have to grow something, it does my soul good
@@carmenpittman8842 Hi!!!! WELCOME!!!! ❤️ It does my heart so much good to meet gardeners who have been figuring this thing out for so long!! I bet you have SO MUCH great advice to share! Thank you for being here ❤️
Just subbed! I LOVED this! You are a blessing!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ WELCOME!!!! We are so happy you've found us 🤩
Very cool! But I don’t understand where all your energy comes from! (Although I suspect it’s your youth.) You have such passion and vision-and your garden reaps the benefit. You’re extremely enjoyable to watch! I figure I can almost garden vicariously through you! Thanks for a fun video.
Haha!! Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰
Good idea getting rid of that plastic landscape fabric.
If you want to supress weeds and allow water to drain, cardboard is excellent...and FREE at Costco; they'll give it to you!👍🏼
Thank you!!! I didn't even think of Costco! You're so right!!!!
Thank you for your informational video...nice to see family working together ...team work is great! Watching you from Front Range of Colorado, we are in zones 5,6 weather changes here at a drop of a hat!! God bless, will ck back with you and see how things are growing for you!
I wish you the best! It's tough dealing with bipolar weather!!! I'm so happy you tuned in ❤️
So enjoying your gardening video.🌷 Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear it! Thank you ❤️
To save yourself the cost of plastic and the hassle of standing water or inadequate drainage … try using cardboard in all the places you would’ve used plastic! Works great, allows flow, decomposes nicely and is free. Your planters are all so clever! Love them! In fact, I’ve been trying to find the cheapest easiest way to make my compost areas (with cardboard instead of plastic) and this is perfect. Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
Im so happy to inspire you!!! Im definitely loving the cardboard better! We are in the process of building our backyard orchard and was able to get an abundance of boxes from dollar general! Thank you for chiming in! ❤️ 🌱
