So glad to see another video! I hope you are well. I look forward to your wise economical videos. They are so easy to relate to. Thank you. More please!
Thank you for exploring the economics of filling a raised bed . I tried a mix of twigs and small brush with the leaves at the base to resolve the compacting issue I had in past. Also no cardboard. Small amount of composted manure added to the thin top layer of "recycled" potting soil. Lettuce and green beans did very well, and amazingly two vigorous tomato plants.(from New England USA)
Just found your channel and so glad I did! I have raised beds I built myself, and chuckled when you spoke about litres and feet and inches and calculating the volume of mix for the beds. I got my calculations right, but it really knocked me back when I realized how much it was going to cost. I, like you, recycled everything I had. I now have enough homemade compost to keep up but that has taken five years. It’s all a wonderful process! Thank you for a great video. 🇨🇦
As we seek ways to raise our own healthy food this short season channel could skyrocket because long season farmers information although helpful may not work. Watching videos from Arizona, California and even Michigan can be discouraging.

Thank you so much! Yes I am well. Just very busy these days. Hoping to get out more videos soon.
I built my raised bedsout of old pallets that i picked up for free then lined in cheap black weed barrier. They are great
The lining is probably a good idea, especially if you are growing food. Some pallets are treated chemically to keep them from rotting.
