Well, i just loved this video. It was so sweet to see him looking at his partner when she talked, he was smitten. And their garden is beautiful. Love from Pflugerville ❤
If I may suggest, you can buy very inexpensive packages of knee highs made from the same material as panty hose at any dollar store and when your melons begin to appear, or anything that you wish to grow off the ground, simply slide the fruit/veg into a knee high and then tie it to a fence post, trellis, stakes, whatever you have nearby the mother plant...no more having to go out and turn over the melons to avoid soft spots or discoloration, helps to protect against bugs, plus growing vertically saves on gardening space. I've also used pantyhose to support watermelons since they're larger than the knee highs. Hope this helps.
@@sacdigitaldesignweb Hahaha, Great idea... mine can handle a watermelon for sure, but wouldn't want to highlight that to the neighbors... especially the little scientist next door.... I can image her question about the size😳 I'll try the stocking.😏
Ingenious way of gardening. I've been wanting to try cinder blocks - you've encouraged me to try a mini garden to see how well it works for me. I like the extra cedar planks and netting and laughed at your water feature:) - great garden tour!
I was in Hime Depot trying to decide what materials to use for my tomato garden. Saw some cinder blocks and gave it a quick thought and that was that. I'll be returning tomorrow to get me some cinder blocks 😂....FABULOUS job!!!!
You are not kidding about the malabar spinach seeding itself. I started with 2 plants 2 years ago and this year i have composted, eaten or given away over 100 plants this year!
This is a great idea, but I would line the inside of the block; otherwise, the concrete block will leach out the moisture from the soil, requiring significantly more watering.
You have a beautiful garden sir,loved watching both are interested in gardening. Otherwise only one person is interested, you both have good chemistry among yourselves. God bless u both
Because of soil conditions here in Austin, I also use raised beds. Had capped off the cinder blocks, silly me! Will be incorporating your idea into my beds. Thanks so much!

Love it and I have a cinder block garden myself here in NZ, brilliant in the middle of the beds. But I've totally failed with any plantings in the holes in the blocks because of how fast they dry out (we're on tank water so watering becomes an issue over summer) I was having to water at least twice a day & couldn't keep it up. But yours looks fantastic :)
Have read that while what you say is true, most "cinder blocks" now days are actually concrete block and do not have the same problems. So it would be good to make sure you are not using actual cinder blocls then you should be good to go.
I move to my place in the country at the end of the month. I want to try a raised garden bed along the fence line because I can use the hog panel fence as a trellis. I want to focus on fruits. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. I will expand as my expertise grows.
This something I really want to try. However, I had read that the cinder blocks can leach unhealthy chemicals into the plants. Have you come across any information for or against this theory? Appreciate your response.
Just stumbled upon your channel and you have a beautiful garden. I was just wondering about how often you have to water considering you essentially have a raised and the Texas heat? What methods do you use to maintain adequate soil moisture? Thanks and God bless.
The cinder locks will not only get very hot, especially in the southern areas, they will wick water away from plant roots. If you’ll have drip irrigation it might not be an issue, if you’re watering by hand, plan on watering....a lot!
Although easy to install, Cinder Bloks can becomes very much hot under the sun day time and will need to provide much more water to plants and in winter it will be too cold and even early spring will be too cold, and what about the holes in it ... Ain't going to be easy to work with the soil in it, I rather prefer much the Wooden framed raised bed over the Cinder or cement blok
*click*....these are not cinder blocks....cinder blocks have pretty much been phased out...and have become rather hard to find.....cinder blocks were made with coal cinders...a cheap waste byproduct that found a "purpose" when mixed with concrete...with all the associated hazards of coal residues... what you see here are concrete blocks...no coal cinders involved...if people would stop calling concrete blocks "cinder" blocks there would be so much less confusion...seriously...it's as if people insist on calling cats "dogs" because they have four feet, fur and a tail...That is all. *click*

Cinder block often contains fly ash. Growing edibles in cinder block is not wise due to the leaching out of fly ash which is then absorbed by the plants. In comparison, cedar or redwood is nontoxic and perfect for raised bed gardening.
If you plan to use block as a raised bed material - and many people do - and you are concerned about potential risks from fly ash-- you could seal the blocks with polymer paint. Or you can choose to use another material. (Polymer paint is latex paint or acrylic paint.)
What are you talking about, "bricks created"? Spider mites going to be a problem in ground or in raised beds or in anything. He also said he's only using organic methods, so he's not going to be able to eliminate all pests. And spider mites are tenacious.

Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful garden.
I'd love to learn more about this type of gardening. Great video.

Really cool place ..wish to see more
excellent video* never saw a garden done with the cinder blocks, great idea* your garden is amazing
not really, cinder blocks leach heavy metals into the soil.
Paduvihm Kannel Source?
common sense is my source, cinder blocks are made of fly ash, which contain heavy metals. just used a search engine and it confirmed my statement

New subscriber here.love your ideas.planning my 1st raised bed garden with railroad ties on a mountaintop.wish me luck
Yes! I'm totally doing this.
This something I really want to try. However, I had read that the cinder blocks can leach unhealthy chemicals into the plants. Have you come across any information for or against this theory? Appreciate your response.
Use concrete blocks. It may be hard to find true cinder blocks anyway, but the materials cinder blocks are made from can be toxic.
Que hermoso los huerto
Just stumbled upon your channel and you have a beautiful garden. I was just wondering about how often you have to water considering you essentially have a raised and the Texas heat? What methods do you use to maintain adequate soil moisture? Thanks and God bless.
The concrete blocks will wick moisture and dry the soil. You may want to seal the exterior of the block.
Garden looks great.
Or line with sheathing
The cinder blocks are $4.23 now, how much was it then 5 years ago?
very systematic planting system, like the idea.
Hello, Lovely garden !! How long did it take to grow the purple dragon fruit from seed to fruit? thanks
I've got to find the melabar spinach.
Do you have a problem with the cinder blocks being to hot in late summer?
The cinder locks will not only get very hot, especially in the southern areas, they will wick water away from plant roots. If you’ll have drip irrigation it might not be an issue, if you’re watering by hand, plan on watering....a lot!
Show the squash flower and what he does to prepare it.
Although easy to install, Cinder Bloks can becomes very much hot under the sun day time and will need to provide much more water to plants and in winter it will be too cold and even early spring will be too cold, and what about the holes in it ... Ain't going to be easy to work with the soil in it, I rather prefer much the Wooden framed raised bed over the Cinder or cement blok
Love this
the cinder blocks can just be moved right? if the raised bed is high, and the holes are still utilized that means the hole are filled with soil?
Are your beds like 6' high ? Or do you stack them parallel so they may be as tall as you like ? Thanks
Like the cinder block, but is it safe to use them for growing food? They do use chemicals and with water it will leech into your plants
You could line them with plastic i guess
