Hey just wanted to drop you a tip about the raised beds made out of wood: Cedar is naturally resistant to rot so most anything made out of it in the garden last many years! I grow a Washington navel orange tree in an all cedar pot with stainless steal screws(they don’t rust and help not deteriorate the wood where the screws are inserted
Dear veggie dog.... thanks for giving me some warmth to my soul .... to you dear human of the veggie dog... thanks for your tips... greetings from Sparta ... southern Greece ...
Hello. I have the same problem with one corner of my raised bed and erosion. The whole perimeter of my one and only square foot garden has cinder blocks as the border. So my plan is to shim up that corner. Love your videos. My garden is only 4' X4'.The first layer is approx. 5" high. This year I'm adding another 5" with new cinder blocks and wooden sides. Therefore, I'm adding more raised garden soil.
We realized early on that building wood sides simply wasn't necessary for a "raised bed", and just mounding the dirt a little is all that's needed. The more out of the ground you go, the more water is needed, and containers need constant water in mid summer. In ground is so much better, and we can still mound up the dirt in our in-ground garden beds to move around the water.
My dog Hercules loves eating his veggies as well. Used to catch him and his brother stealing zucchinis from the grocery bags. I've never been successful at gardening in my yard. It's big, but my yard gets littered with pine needles from my backyard neighbor's trees. Plus, there is a mole that keeps eating off the roots of my flowering plants as well. But am going to try a raised gardening bed this year. Thanks for your tips. Oh yah, tell Tuck he's doing a great job of being your Quality Control Manager!! Happy Easter!
You could line your untreated wood inside the raised bed with polythene to prevent the wood rotting. Or you could use treated wood and again line it with polythene.
Great video! The only item I would add from my experience is to set your raised bed up with a hugelkultur method layering by starting with large seasoned tree trunk/branches, then the compost/soil, lastly the final layer of high quality potting mix/ mushroom compost.
Good evening James, it's the end of the night for me and I just had to check in to get these tips. We have a table garden in the back of this property and the critters actually get onto the table. I wish I knew how to keep them out. Tuck is so cUte and has a calm attitude. I find it fascinating that he likes vegetables so much. Stay Blessed James.
I wrote down “Mycos” and “Birdie’s raised beds” on the paper towel on which I am shaking out tomato seeds to plant. Will look those up. Comment- sometimes the best I can do is not ideal. It is important to remember that the first important thing is “do something.” Even sticking a few tomato and pepper plants from a nursery in a sunny border can be very rewarding. I have seen people put an old dresser minus the drawers on a sheet of cardboard on the lawn, fill it with leaves and grass, add a few inches of whatever soil they could scrape up on the top, and grow lettuce, bush beans, and a zucchini. And of course the next year when the leaves and grass have rotted, there is nice soil there. Another easy makeshift is a bed of concrete blocks ( found at a demolition site maybe) on cardboard, filled in the same way. These are obviously not so good as what you do, but people grow food that way spending little money and without having tools.
😂 wow I would like to see that . Very good resource . And the nice smooth edges to lean on while working them . I bought a "fire ring" to make a raised bed and I love the round top edge to lean my hand on while I'm working it . 👍🛀
Perfect timing for me! I want to make about six raised beds, about hip high. I wonder which is best way to go.. concrete block, metal, or wood. Where do it get the Australian steel ones?Thank you for your sweet videos!
Aloha James. Thank for the informative video. Shout out from zone 7a in AZ. Rain, snow, & frost coming our way this weekend. Despite the weather coming I am planning on extending my season with my raised beds / (Hoop) boxes. They are actually not hooped they are hinged & gift wrapped like a present in 6 mil plastic. However, I got the inspiration from your hinged hoop beds. 🤙🏼
"Where I live he Sun rises in the East and sets in the West and sits in the South." What a remarkable coincidence, it does the same thing where I live!!! We must be neighbors.
Hello from Ohio! Love your videos! Do u have a video showing how to make the cold frame? I have broccoli and cauliflower out in one of my beds (first year gardening) and we already got hit with a light frost. I dont know if it's gonna be too late or not for me to try and protect them. We got hit with covid this week so I don't have the energy right now but hopefully it doesn't last too much longer!
What did you put on the bottom to prevent the moles? I don't know if I have any - Just bought a house in northern NJ - but I know I have groundhogs and rabbits.
Hi all. Where do y’all find plant starts in the fall? I am in Greensboro, NC and can’t find them in any of my normal stores. Do you go online ? I am not proficient yet with getting seeds going, so I wanted to ‘outsource’ this pet. HI TUCKY!!!!
Fantastic tips, James! I especially like the idea of never leaving bare space, to replace harvested plants with new ones that you have ready to go. Thanks!
Thanks Scott! I learned that one from my little pup Tuck, he scolded me when I used to harvest something and not have something to replace it with in the past, he's the boss and he likes his veggies fresh!
@@jamesprigioni I just made some beds from cypress, its naturally rot resistant, no chemicals, only time will tell how long it actually last and cedar is also good, rough sawn to save money, big box store should have cedar, for cypress you might need to go to a saw mill, thats where I got mine in Florida. Peas
This was one of my favorite tips as well. I wind up procrastinating, always saying I'm going to plant something else. Which is real bad when the season changes!
@@jamesprigioni Every time I see Tuck I want to fence in my garden so I can let mine out there with me too! As is right now, one squirrel shows up and its missing posters all over town for two dogs haha
Hi and I have a raised bed but only one but I think I’m going to make more next year.also I cant just get a raised bed because I’m thirteen and maybe it can be a project for me and my dad maybe just maybe I could post the project on my channel.thanks for all the tips it really helps me out.😊👍🏼😃
Garret. Pick a few things you like to eat. Some may just need a small space. A planter, small raised bed, maybe a few rocks in a circle or square enough for the plant.
James, you're such a great gardener/farmer/tutor...thank you so much, I've learned sooooo much from you!!! You're one of those (rare) teachers that brings out the best in their students!!!! Tuck, your co-star.. LOL Great, great videos... all of them!💯🇯🇲
Thank you, James. Thank you for showing me the potential. I've been addicted to your channel for the last 2 weeks. I bought a house on .44 acres 6 months ago. I moved from a condo in downtown Austin to the outskirts of Austin. I've been trying to move for 2 years, but I was infected with covid in March 2020, and then suffered with long haul; basically in bed 18 hours a day for about 9 months going into 2021. I bought this house surrounded by nature to continue healing. But the ground has issues. Hard clay. Old filled-in swimming pool in the middle of the yard. In-ground hot tub filled with gravel. 40-year-old sidewalks all around the pool. Totally neglected by the previous owners. Insufficient fencing for the pack of deer that come through daily and live behind my property. However, clover does grow in my ground. And I am surrounded by trees. I'm on a drainage ditch, so lots of the water and nutrients from surrounding properties drain towards me. It's all manageable. Lots of potential. I had a big vision when I started working on this in February. I wanted to create a medicinal herb garden based on sacred geometry. Figured it would take 2 years. After the last month of working it I started thinking, "Maybe this is going to take me more like 10 years!" However, now my vision is changing. You are helping me to see the proper steps, and that it doesn't have to take 10 years. Your series on the 6 phases of a food forrest has inspired me. That's the direction I am going now. The 7 layers concept is new to me. I'll start studying. Thank you for your amazing videos and long term commitment to growing and to keeping us informed. James, you really are a treasure. I love listening to you talk about your principles of gardening. I love the tours of your food forrest. I also got a kick when you said in this video, "For me that sun rises in the east, and sets in the west." What a coincidence! Me too! Ha! I love the work you are doing. You are so humble, and yet so knowledgeable. And I think you are occasionally funny in a way that a good old friend can be funny and make you laugh without realizing it. Especially when Tuck is involved. I wish you and Tuck all the best in the garden and in life.
What a great comment! I was blessed to find a house to rent after 7 years of wandering and homelessness and other crazy nonsense among annoying and worthless information. Local food and food forests can be a game changer for so many of us! We're all in need of this! Share with the stranger and wanderer and foreigner as best you can. If you have even a tiny lot of land, just share!
Thank you James for echoing my own thoughts on raised beds, I'm in the process of planning a few raised beds for next year, your enthusiasm is infectious, more power to you, from Ireland
I don't have shade, so I do the opposite on purpose. I plant tomatoes where they will shade my lettuces in the heat of summer. But as a rule it certainly works!
Wow! So much excellent information James! Going to have to watch several times just to take it all in! Thanks for making videos that are such a Valuable resource for others; especially for novice “green beans” like me👩🌾... love to watch Tuck inspect your work- we should all be blessed with such spirited supervisors!😂
Thanks James for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Just wondering if you have a compost pile and if so, how you work with it. Thanks Tuck.
Once again thanks for the great info! Needed to know which initials on pallets were the right ones as I'm using for a 3 bin compost system I'm building. Tuck you're a good boy keeping him company in the garden!
Thanks a. Marie! Me and Tuck have a blast making them, and we appreciate the kind words. We are enjoying the fall, and this stretch of warm days that we are getting. Me and Tuck hope you are enjoying your fall as well. 🐕😁
Thank you, James! You & Tuck are making the Garden State proud!!❤️!! As a South Jersey native, I appreciate the sound of your accent as well as all the gardening information in your inspiring videos ! I have 7 large raised beds - two full of blueberries!- and really need to use your tips! Take care and keep up the good work!
Thank you James, my dream is to have my own garden soon and keep watching Tuck eating his vegetables. What a nice boy, he’s a great example for kids❤️❤️❤️
Just to clarify on using PTL vs untreated: In 1998 or 99, the EPA mandated that all toxins such as arsenic may no longer be used in PTL. It's all borates and copper now, so it is safe to use. I know the stigma is still out there, but as long as you use new material, it will be safe.
I just moved 6 months ago and had to start over again with my garden. Luke you I didn't want to use treated wood when I first started it around 6 years ago. So my beds were rotting out and were ready to be redone. Luckily the new owner let me come and get the dirt/soil which I had kept on amending through the years with compost. I had to make more beds and the area I found which had the most sun also had a slope. So I had to try and level the area before I put the new beds down. I couldn't even work the soil until mid April because the ground was still frozen. We are in zone 4a. Then it a couple of weeks to transport the soil (I only moved 1 mile away.) So I have made several of those mistakes trading off some things for others.
Good stuff, James, thanks for the vid. Love to watch Tuck, but he sure makes me miss my old buddy Sancho who passed a few years ago. Can't beat a Yorkie for great companionship.
James this is another great video. I definitely need to work on improving my gardening. I want to extend my season. If you can do it in Jersey, I have no excuse being a few states south of you. I'm excited to apply these tips. Bug hugs&kisses for Tuck!! He's such a cutie!
James, we must live in the same world. Because just like you said (6:14) 'where I live the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.' That's just the way it is where I live too. Lmfao
The world needs more people like you, and Tuck reminds me of my dog Kayla she loves her veggies and she’s an awesome sidekick 😂😂🥰
My 6 year old loves to watch your videos. He is a great gardener. He especially loves to watch your dog eat snacks from the garden!

James this is another great video. I definitely need to work on improving my gardening. I want to extend my season. If you can do it in Jersey, I have no excuse being a few states south of you. I'm excited to apply these tips. Bug hugs&kisses for Tuck!! He's such a cutie!
James, we must live in the same world. Because just like you said (6:14) 'where I live the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.' That's just the way it is where I live too. Lmfao
Tuck is beautiful, smart, and charming! Tell him so for me.
