Be careful with your Garden box before you know it its a nice toilet for beau Maggie and charly
The cat is called Bo.
You realise you missed the opportunity for Anna to guide a blind-folded JT in making this? 😁
OMG 🤣
@@Jamie_D I mean, what *could* go wrong, huh?
@@Jamie_D Exactly!
If we crowd fund Bo’s neutering and litter boxes etc for you, please can you let him live inside?!!
@dd-bb
Good call! I'm from England so I'm not sure about the temperature where they are but I know they said they were cold when they smashed the run ( well done JT -3rd place! good job Anna going the extra mile!) But whatever the weather - I would love for Bo to live with y'all? ( I did a little "y'all" for you there! ) I know we are not the only ones who would love to see Bo inside 😻😊✌
Perhaps he could be both. Let out to play during the day and come in at night so nothing can eat him.
Fit a catflap (basic or fancy, to suit) to the house.
@@keithrichardhallam Good shout!
Why are so many invested in keeping a cat inside, this cat clearly loves to be outside, i'm sure JT and Anna let him in if he wants to go in, cats enjoy nature and roaming, they get a lot of stimulus from being outside and it helps to keep their claws in check, yes there is other wildlife out there that could harm him but that's just nature, stop trying to cage this animal.
Just love it the back of your truck turns into a work bench.😊
Well done both of you, not only creative and functional... BUT also you are so funny, the quirky stuff you two say and do, has me chuckling and smiling so much..
What a fantastic 'team' you are, a perfect match..
Sending lots of love and cwtches, to you Anna & JT, the puppers, and not forgetting Beaubeau, from an 'old' Silver-haired fan in Wales
you could have got some of the bark off the branches and trees you took down earlier and used it for the base as it would be a good base and when it rots nourishment for your flowers or food crop .
damn, thats a long walk to water plants.
Just what I was thinking.
Cats always dig holes to pee and poo.
Suggestion for next year…….. keep all your compostable kitchen waste (no meat or fish or bones though) and all the fallen tree leaves you can take up in the fall and build a compost box with a cover so the contents stay dry (that’s really important) and let it rot down over the winter. In the spring fork the compost heap over to mix the contents and add more all the time. After a couple of years you will have a good mulch to add to your raised bed. Also go online and buy 2lbs of live earthworms to add to the raised bed as worms also make the soil healthier. Do be careful with the weed mesh in the bottom that it doesn’t obstruct drainage otherwise you will end up with a big smelly waterlogged weed bed!
I used to yeet my gardening waste between three conifers in my garden.
A couple of years ago I removed the 3 little conifers (leaving the 2 biggest ones) and found I had inadvertently made enough compost for lots of containers, and for the shrubs and flowers that went in their place.
Now I love composting :)
Great job on the bed i would however have put it closer to the house. My garden is seriously sloped, i just made trenches to level it off. I also don't like using that plastic weed barrier stuff, it'll last a year or two before it starts breaking up then you've got bits of plastic mixed in with your soil. I use plain brown cardboard instead, it does the job preventing germinating grass seeds before it decomposes, thats all thats really needed. I would have used a little of that clay soil around the edges (especially if you've done trenches) but thats it. For a filler i would have used the copious tree branches and logs you have scattered around the area. They will decompose and feed your soil leaving air pockets to airiate the soil, the little gaps in the warped wood can help with this too. Then i would have thrown the top soil on top of the wood followed by the good stuff, although personally i like to use a mix of brands. The good compost you added there looked like ex-mushroom growing soil, which is good stuff but don't be surprised if you get a few mushrooms popping through.
ruclips.net/video/Th0-nMd5kKE/видео.html Here is a tip in fillings raised beds so you don't have to fill it with lots of soil and compost. This called “Hügelkultur” (pronounced hyoo-gul-kulture) is a German word that means mound culture or hill culture. It's worth a look as it will make things easier for future projects. The sticks, leaves, etc breakdown and provide ongoing nutrients for years to come
Looks good, but you should have stained or varnished the box before you put the soil in to protect the wood.
The toxins leak into the soil best to use untreated.
never use varnished/painted wood to grow veg in, it gets leached into the soil over time, not nice.
I honestly don't think I have ever seen such a dirty dog... I take it she enjoys being hosed down? Or could it be she's aiming to blend-in with the soil so that you don't know which direction to set the hose in...??
Don’t stain it! It could seep into your produce. X
Exterior stain is only to be used on treated lumber, which is not recommended for food related projects. If you want to preserve the untreated lumber that is what they are using, use a good exterior latex primer and a good latex paint. both are safe for food related projects.
No i cant do it i can't im scared etc then Ok 😄😄 brilliant👍 😊you 2 are so sweet and look so happy its adorable
One trick to keep the cat off the beds and using as a litter is to dry out a load of brambles and lay them out all over the top. They're also good for deterring slugs once your plants get going. Pricklier the better.
Great idea
Just so you know sawdust is called man glitter. Fyi even as a female when i do woodworking and get saw dust on me i call it man glitter lol
As you lot get moles, for future raised beds you might want to put chicken wire in the bottom of them beds. Staple it in. Because your moles will eat your plants.
Love seeing the pets, and was lmao when JT burped heee.
What can you do with 2 inches JT???lol😂😂😂
That is one humongous litter tray for Bo 😉
I love love your videos always waiting for the next one, but guys when you gonna let that baby bo live inside . we know you love him , he chose you so let him in as part of the family . Hes like the step brother always on the out side ❤❤❤
next one looks a good size to add a transparent lid, then you can have a small green house to grow strawberries and so on.
The cat loves snuggling,the dogs are cute.
I think you should have bought treated wood (against moisture) or treated the wood yourself (cheaper option) ... Sadly that raised garden won't last more than a few short years because the wood will rot :(
I do love watching your videos though ... Have viewed since JT was reacting on his own ... You guys are so fun to watch and warming to the heart ... Keep it up guys ... I will continue to watch xoxo
you should have lined your box (with drainage) to stop the wood from rotting quite so quick. Bo is probably thinking its lovely you have made him such a big kitty litter box 🤣
You really need to challenge that false advertising scam of wood lengths, it might not seem much from each piece, but then if you add up their savings from all pieces sold.
tbf its on you, they might have to charge you for cutting them down to specific lengths but they won't mind checking the lengths for you for free. Have you ever bought wood lol its no different here in the uk
Bo's such a loving cat, you're so lucky he chose you 😃🐱
Well done both,growing your own food is really addictive so you need to build more bed's 😊xx
Just plant the seeds out in your garden they should still grow as long as the dogs don't dig them up again lol
Any man that has ever held a drill ALWAYS does the double trigger pull 😅 you jt are a true man 💪🤣
Guys. You should plant your Strawberries in a hanging basket. They look great and it also keeps the slugs off them. Also real easy to pick. 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧💕🙏❤️
When you have built your chicken house, maybe you can rescue some battery hens, before they go to be slaughtered.
What you purchased were pre cut 2x6 studs for wall framing. Most places also sell full 2x6x8' lumber. The precut studs are used for wall framing so you don't have to cut off 3 3/8" to make an exact 8' high wall.
It's weird not seeing JT's hairy legs
Hacksaw Jim Duggan reminiscent.
You've got enough left over to have your own board meeting😅
I'll see myself out.......
That strut Maggie did after Anna said she was brown was just amazing the little leg flicks reminds me of Donkey in shrek when he became a stallion … yea I have a white Shihtzu who doesn’t like being a ‘pretty girl’ so I feel your pain
JT is just vicious with a pencil haha 😛 Charlie’s face when Anna had the drill was utter confusion and a little concern lol
I have to say I’m loving this channel more than your other because it’s really nice seeing you two grow together and start your life and the animals just are like the icing on the sweetest cake
If the apocalypse comes I’m defo still coming over between you and Anna (mostly Anna’s dad) now a veg plot and Maggie can keep you in protein with the mole supply yep I know where I’m heading 😜
2x6 is the size when it is first cut in lumber yard, it then loses a bit when drying and then the rough finish is machined off so its actual finished size is always 0.5inches smaller. 2x6 will always be 1.5x5.5 finished dimension.
Looks great guys.just 1 suggestion .get some chicken wire and cover it ,or it will be 1 big litter box for Bo and the other strays ..lol😊
Well done to both of you. Anna, I love that you are happy to try anything new. Maggie digging and rolling about made me laugh too. I can’t wait for the chicken coop and don’t forget to make a barn for the Highland cow you really must buy at some point !! 😉😉
Don't forget what comes out the back end of Anna's family horse is Good for plant growth. You may want to put netting or plastic sheet over the top, because to Bo that is the finest cat litter tray. You do want 🐴💩 in their, but you don't want 🐱💩in their.
Raised beds need at least 18" of soil. Fill that bed to the top. Not much will grow in 12",14".
Once you'd put together your frames and lined them - you missed your opportunity to fill them with water to bathe Maggie, before you filled them with the garden soil!
Well done, looks great. Excited for the Chicken coop. Happy Easter.
See if there are any grants in your area for high tunnels. Next time i would advise putting some protection on the wood. It won't last that long without.
Find out when your last frost date is before you put anything outside.
I think you might quickly realise you want more growing space than that.
You could plant a fairly sizeable area of potato with minimal input required.
It looks really nice. Anna was scared of using the drill to screw down the screws was like my favorite part. The flower bed is going to be good!!
Just to add the sticks would have rotted down & enriched the soil. One more thing, you need to start composting your vegetable kitchen scraps & garden waste (not the weeds though)💖
Leaving lemon juice off of a british pancake is like the Cornal leaving 1 of the spices out of KFC
Need to eat them hot straight out the pan
I sometimes have mine with nutella chocolate spread and know some people like them with nutella chocolate spread and banana
I tend to have mine slightly thicker than a thin crepe but not as thick as the American version
Definetly flip them
The house building theme from RDR2 would be more than perfect for these projects.
A few rocks wouldn't have hurt would help with Drainage! you could plant Corn!!
Could the word you were trying to think of be seedlings? You could get a couple of large plastic flower pots make a pyramid with garden canes and grow your tomatoes in one and perhaps beans in the other? They would be good closer to the house to protect them from weather and wildlife, plus in ots mean you can move them easily. Loving your videos xx
Great video i would personally make a poly tunnel or something like that that would hopefully stop dogs and cats jumping on them till plants are bigger
RE: the sizes you can loose upto 1/2 inch with pse(planed side and edge) timber but the length should be as stated.
Great job guys , well done xx❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌺🦋🌺🦋🐾🐾🐾
Build Bo a house! You could waterproof it and everything. That would be so cool!
Will you be starting your own compost heap? Very easy to do, and very good for the garden!
seedlings. you could get 4 poles and some netting, to keet the bugs and pets off, bo will think its his litter tray and those pups love to dig
Why will you not let bobo live inside cats get cold he deserve it because he got traumatized by being unwanted all them times you should be honored that bobo chose you both to be his parents caring fan
Well done both of you, I think you’ve made a great planter and I think baby plants are called seedlings, you just need to make sure that Maggie doesn’t go in and dig everything up, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
First thing is cats enjoy being outside. I'm sure they let him in if he wants to go in. Second thing is its their house stop telling them who to let in and what to do in it. Third even if cats do 💩 in it then big whoops 💩 is good for the soil and plants
Nice job on the garden bed and when the plants are ready you can make some cooking videos with your home grown produce 👍🏼
Hope you’ve got a water source nearby, its likely you will need to water your plants when it gets hot 👍
3:44 even Bo is like ''What's up with your dog!?''
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks "are we going to war" when there are helicopters and jets in the air.
JT just dye Maggie’s coat Black or Orange job done no more visible dirty coat 🤣
......But the villagers had a water source in their raised beds .
Just wondering why you put it so far away from the house is there a water supply down there?
Awww love charlie and maggie so much xx Aww and cute bobo x
Your pets are so happy having the freedom to run around your land 😌
If you grow ur own corn ull find its actually sweet unlike stuff in the shops
Dont forget to stain it with wood preserve to protect it from the elements and to stop it from rotting xx
That is awesome!! Love seeing your progress on the property. 😃
Perhaps Maggie wants to be the same colour as Bo. 😺🐕
If you guys ever need advice on anything veg related then I'm yer man. I've been growing my own veg for decades. I'm an old fart.
for your next react series check out Charles Dowding, numero uno of the raised garden bed world
JT showing off his Giant Slayer T-shirt 👍
You know when you said her dad knows .. why so far from where he put the darn soil?
Fascinated by all the comments on do's & don'ts. Wish I had land to this!
You could have put the liner up the sides as well it would help to stop the wood rotting. ❤
I thought the same about the liner, as it would help to stop the dirt washing out between the boards .
I'd say you want at least another 4 bags of compost in there guys....
that'll be plenty to enrich the soil for this year more can be added next if no composting on site.
@@kieronmarshall2658 Not enough depth there for growing any root vegetables tho, IMHO.
@@garlichr plenty of depth . The topping is only a nutrient layer in this case but that doesnt mean theres nothing in the middle layer which looked like poor topsoil and the bottom layer which will still have something and hold moisture. personally id have mixed the top two layers to encouraged roots to go deeper looking for goodness which will help in hot weather as the moisture will be found lower down and saves on daily watering.
Bo/Beau says "wow.. they've built me a huge litter tray"
And now Maggie sleeps outside hehe I love these videos so much
Put some cardboard on the bottom before you put soil in it
Great work guys! Looks brill!
That's going to be a great litter tray for your cat 😄💩
Bo: living his best life while you do the back breaking work! 😊😹
Good job you two. I think you could make your own decking xx
Well done JT and Anna, and Happy Easter to you and all your family ♥♥♥♥♥
Bo’s gonna be shitting in that mo fo!! 😂
Thats 1 big kitty litter box😂
its wheel barrow not wheel barrel
Was the wood treated so that it doesn't just rot?
A sprouting seed is a seedling 🙂
Unrelated. Please do cinematic orchestra 12 min to build a home short feature ruclips.net/video/9_NPE8O7oDU/видео.htmlsi=9Nm_xDgW10CN5spo .
It will 100% be worth your time (though i worn you, it will break you). Its two of their songs back to back to show the complete story
if you build it they will grow
looks up are we going to war 🤣👍
You guys are awesome ❤
Those scissors 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How kind to build bo a giant litter box xd
Well done👏❤❤
