I love the cedar timbers used for these beds. Being able to sit comfortably on the bed frame is so handy when doing a little harvesting or weeding. Likewise, with beds 18 inches high, you don't have to lean over as much and this makes for more comfortable gardening. Soil is the key to a healthy, productive garden and raised beds really aid in establishing a place for biology to flourish.
Your garden is fantastic and your videos are as well. But most of us don't and will never have the compost you have nor have the time to make it and work with it. I think it would be interesting if you would do a few videos for us not so fortunate gardeners and us with smaller gardens. Thanks!!
Daisee Gray I love it too. Chocked full of good info and straight to the point. We gardeners don’t have time to listen to those who just like to hear themselves talk.
Best raised beds I've experienced, you are definitely in it for the long run. About the length, are they 8 ft. or more? And if I may ask how you fasten them together. I'm extending one of my raised beds, halfway into a greenhouse build and this seems to be the ultimate scheme.
Those are 6" x 6" x 10 ft cedar, and each bed takes 9. I worked up the calculation in my area in Alaska. At $106.98 per post, EACH BED COMES TO $962.82, not including hardware, and soil, of course.
They seem to be holding up after 10 years however steel corrugated type claim 20 years and don't cost as much. If I had the $ to burn I'd build em how he did though
Awesome video. I just found your channel and I think I’m gonna bench watch it. Just one thing and I’m not trying to be a know it all I’m a furniture/cabinet maker, but cedar is not a hardwood it is a softwood. I do have a raised bed and several outdoor furniture made of cedar and is great. Thanks for what you do
Cedar is not considered a "hardwood" like Oak or Walnut. Cedar is a conifer and naturally resistant to rot and pests but certainly is not inexpensive. Its all relative I suppose.
Consider tilling in some of the mix you'll use to fill the beds with, then build floor-less beds on top of that. The gradual transition from bed soil to native soil should aid drainage and roots

Love your videos keep going.

I love the way your beds look.

Hello, Would you happen to have the design schematic for your beds?

How much did those 6x6 timbers cost that you used for the raised beds

My soil is all rocky. Should I add floor to the boxes and make holes in the floor for drainage ?
