Good video! Really nicely done! Just filled my first Vego Garden bed - I decide to cut out my grass & applied landscaping fabric ( DeWitt) , 2 years worth of cardboard , yard waste then good soil. A few more to fill. My soil is rock heaven- little ones, big ones, boulders & tree roots paradise-trees cut down over 20 years ago! You are sooo correct . This way of gardening is an investment- For me 3 years in the making!
Thanks so much for watching and glad you liked the video. We have had a lot of success this year with our Vego Garden beds. In our area (zone 8a), we thought these metal raised beds would dry out faster than our traditional wood raised beds, but it has been the exact opposite. I feel that is partially due to the wood branches and deteriorating logs we placed at the bottom. We find the same success with all of our grow bags. We add about 1/2" of fine wood chips at the bottom of each bag. This way the bags don't dry out too fast. As we both agree, these are an investment, but we are very pleased with the results.
We use a drip line irrigation system on all our beds. We're in the process of putting together a video on how we built our watering system for our raised beds, grow bags, and all our in ground plants. We will include how the metal raised beds are watered. Thank you so much for watching

Thanks for the video. I was really interested in how you leveled the beds on the uneven ground/minor slopes.
Glad you found it helpful and thanks so much for watching
Look forward to learning more from your content. New sub 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
How are you bringing your water up into the bed?
