Oh man you guys just never slap together something!! It is planned and thought about and rethought about. I'm exhausted just watching the manual and mental labour going into the project. Well done again! Hugs from 🇨🇦!
Just watched your kitchen fini. It is Jan 19, 2024 9:00p.m. California. God blessed you. Stay safe, stay well. A beautiful breath taking kitchen❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
I just love your videos. I love that they are stories and not just snippets. Thanks for taking me along to a country I will probably never get to see in person.
Voila! and just like that there are beds. Think the rustic wood and hessian looks great in the beds. Fingers crossed they are vole proof! Have a good week ahead xx
The beds look wonderful. Great use for the recycled timbers. When the beds are planted your eye will be drawn to the plants and the irregularities will disappear. Log cabin builders de-bark logs to prevent moisture from lingering under the bark. Helps keep bugs away from the logs. Shou sugi ban is a process, developed in Japan, of charring/toasting logs. It can increase the life of de-barked timbers decades. Can be done over a fire or even with a propane weed burner. See you're using Dewalt tools....You know...They make some really nice battery chain saws.
Looks very good. Voles and moles remain a pest in the garden, they eat anything, even fleshy flower bulbs and roots. Hollowed out my pawpaw and banana trees.
You two are funny, trying to make nature perfect, that's the beauty of nature, all it's imperfections, your garden will be lovely, because the plants in it will be perfect.
I have come to the conclusion that at least one of you is a perfectionist. lol. I am using coffee bags as well. I got them for free amazingly. Your raised beds look great!
Hey, I finally found you! So glad to have my Saturday night viewing restored. We love seeing the progress, you guys work so hard! Your quinta reminds me of my grandparents' place near Aveiro. Que saudades!
Looking great and glad you have the wood for the project. I like the stakes and gives you more opportunities in changing up and rotating plants in the future. Big fan of raised beds with health issues keeps me gardening
Those beds are fantastic and beautiful. It's always heartening to see people repurpose material that otherwise would just be burned or thrown away. Everything is looking really nice.
Great decision to not use plastic in the garden. We just digged lots of plastic stuff out of our new garden. The previous owner seemed to like it a lot.
The whole land is just looking wonderful. Unbelievable how much you've managed to do, apart from all the work on the house. It's great to hear all the birdsong. It's quite noisy in the neighbourhood now, isn't it? Not a bad thing necessarily, but there was lots of stuff going on, at least on the first day.
Glad you made the bed a decent height, we learnt from our mistake and added extra boards this spring. Not getting any younger and it helps enormously with planting. Have you considered irrigation hose on the top, mine are a life saver when it gets really hot and I don’t fancy hours of watering. My vole deterrence is three excellent mousers, and a Spaniel, no chance making it to the veggies. They caught nine in one night last Autumn !
I think we might go even higher with the next lot .... when we filled the beds we found we couldn’t get enough logs/branches in. Irrigation is on our list for next month .... thinking of investing in a Gardenia hose system, seems to be the most flexible in terms of attachments
So glad you nixed the plastic. Jute will rot probably quicker than you think, but by the time it does, your earth should be fairly settled so you shouldn’t loose it out of the gaps. Cheers from Oz🇦🇺
I wish we had your "not very nice" weather. At the moment it is similar (7C with chance of showers) but tomorrow's forecast is a high of -6C and a chance of flurries (snow). Our 1st spring is giving way to winter-part 2 ... or is it 3, I've lost count. Awe the northern climate, never a dull moment. Your beds look great. I am working on my Hubbie to make a serious garden space this year and have told him how you did yours -- fingers crossed.
Hi fellows ☺️ just discovered you channel, I'm loving watching, thank you for showing this beautiful project of yours here in Portugal 😸🇵🇹 You are transforming that little piece of land in a beautiful living place, it's nice to see you are making friends here and engaging with local tradition, you are even using the metric system ahah sheers! Would love to visit you definitely, would have so many questions! Maybe one day who knows ☺️
I’m glad I found your new channel, too bad you didn’t let us know you were moving. I enjoy your content & watching you both. Thanks for still putting out videos!
Beautiful as always(: 👍👍ur back is still hurt so can see in way u move about these days. Hard work ur home and land look so much alive thanks for sharing 🙏🌼
Remember...EVERYTHING looks level with vodka and orange juice! Love your channel, just found it and am going through it methodically. Can't wait to see where things lead!!!
Hey use old newspapers for lining. I used it successfully on a slope, 5-6 pages and at least. 10 cm overlapping. Wet then fist and soil after. It lasted me 5-6 years in Sweden. Surprisingly sturdy and no weeds.
You are putting so much work into your high-rise beds, have you thought about protection? To prevent the wood from rotting you can use fire. Shou Sugi Ban is an old japanese method where you use fire to preserve wood. It doesen't cost much, is sustainable and looks good!
Hardware cloth with the right sized mesh is very handy for rodents to be stopped. I'm on the west coast of Canada where we unfortunately got rats imported that are a real nuisance. I am using the cloth in my own raised beds to (hopefully) keep the foods and beds intact. Aromatic plants help, especially lemon balm which has 3 uses, mosquito repellent, lemon flavour tisane, and dried is great fiber for compost. I recently understood about coffee grounds being very effective in compost, tea leaves have different minerals. Not sure if you know about vermiculture, worm compost, but if you need excellent compost for trees, I recommend you do that.
@ninemoonplanet, Good to know lemon balm is good for keeping pests away. It is also wonderful for balancing neurotransmitters so I will happily grow it. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, we know 😂 ... we have a small battery powered one but it’s really only good for pruning. Guy’s sister is a bit of a chainsaw nut so we’re waiting for her to visit so we can go chainsaw shopping (who knew we’d ever be saying that 😂)
With that plastic (which I also dislike and now only use to cover my paths, or area I will plant soon to keep weed seeds out. I also take it up often) You need to burn the cut edge with a weed burner
So cute with Coconut talking to you, I guess it was her and "hey, you're not our cat" ;-)) Interesting to hear that it gets so cold at night, because I'm keeping my citrus tree-lets inside as I thought they couldn't really handle cooler temps, but as yours are thriving I guess I'll move mine outside.
Loved the raised bed build, are you able to put a comment on your old channel to redirect people to this new one as its a shame to not have subscribers from that channel 😊
The thick black plastic sheeting (with circular indents) used for waterproofing and protecting the outside of basement walls would work as a lining for your raised beds. It won't decay, and doesn't fall apart while you're cutting it.
Great job! They look good. About those nasty voles....we've had massive trouble with them here too. They eat my beets and potatoes and yes, the roots of other plants too. But I found a product that seems to help keep them at bay for a time...it's called 'Molemax'. It's a grandular product with castor oil in it which they very much dislike. Both moles and voles stay clear of it. You have to reapply every 2 or 3 months. Maybe you might be able to find this. But anyway you guys have a wonderful week ahead! Oh and I love the yarn!
Finally, I am seeing someone putting in a raised vege garden. So much less backbreaking. I would never go back to ground level vege garden. I notice you never mentioned planting climbing beans. They freeze so well. Are you still renovating the house? I don't think I have seen any postings on the house of late. Good luck with the garden.
I had to laugh! The two most exciting types of delivery for me are when the dump truck drops a load of compost or mulch and when the postie finally delivers the yarn I ordered weeks ago :)
Really like the raised beds and the burlap/jute cloth is way better. I was trying to catch what you were calling it but I failed. So that’s the Canadian version. The posts can be decorated with colourful mugs turned upside down on each one. Second hand pottery mugs. I have seen it done on fence posts and loved it. It is now almost a year since you did this project, I am curious if the voles/moles/other critters were kept out with the mesh.
I like the look seems worth the effort. Being lazy I would have dug a trench stood them all up and cut off at desired height because short pieces go together easier without the gap. Good call on the plastic it is everywhere these days and lasts far too long.
The raised beds are just right on a farmstead. Years ago, I used the Gardena system to connect soaker hoses throughout my small property. It worked like a charm. The only suggestion I have is to protect the connectors from the sun so they will last longer. Kylie, the thrill of a yarn delivery!!! I am surprised you didn’t stop work and cast on 😉. I am probably the only viewer who is interested in your yarn adventures though. But what kind of yarn was it and what is it going to be?
Good tip on the irrigation connectors, might need to either bury them or build some small timber housing for them. I’m hoping to use the yarn to knit a jumper/sweater and learn how to do multi-colour knitting. Just have to find a beginner friendly pattern that I like 😀
@@MAKEDOGROW If the connections are semi permanent you can wrap them with aluminum foil tape (used for air duct) it's tenacious and absolutely blocks UV.

Kylie: I want it rustic Also Kylie: Pulls out a level :D btw. bark OFF, else the wood rots much faster instead of expensive screws, you could consider using rebar in the corners... little hard to explain but you pretty much just drill a hole in each end of the logs and stack em, then when you are done you cut off the rebar and if it is long enough you use it for another corner and so on, takes a little sawing to "halve" the logs where they cross each other but rebar (most places) is much cheaper than super long screws
@@FaenumVena Slugs and snails; it's like weeding a work in progress. Take 10min each dawn and dusk to pick them up and you keep them under control. It helps to have the soil, a clean and dusty 1 - 2m wide band around the cultivated areas. They don't like crawling on smooth and dusty ground, they dry out...
@@TheZambu Thats not easy when you dont live where your growing and your not very able bodied. Ive used beer traps before and they work, but some years its so wet here in the UK that there are just too many of them. Where I live we have heavy clay soil too, the time our ground spends dry is very minimal, and when it is, its not dusty. Its easier not to give them a haven to live in to begin with.
Good to see the 'catsupervisor' 😺was there to check the build, was all done to spec and gave their seal of approval at the end of the video. 🙂 🙂
Enjoyed the birds 🐦 singing the song that God gave them to sing.
Your dedication to the hand saw is impressive
It’s our strategy for keeping the muscles in check 😂
Figuring it all out whilst being entertained with beautiful bird chorus. Very satisfying.
Hi guys the plants dont care if its level or not ,great video once again !
Oh man you guys just never slap together something!! It is planned and thought about and rethought about. I'm exhausted just watching the manual and mental labour going into the project. Well done again! Hugs from 🇨🇦!
Habéis creado un terreno limpio, bonito y productivo
Just watched your kitchen fini. It is Jan 19, 2024 9:00p.m. California. God blessed you. Stay safe, stay well. A beautiful breath taking kitchen❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Perfect timing for this inspiration!! And my cats will appreciate the servants extending litter box options......🤔🥰🇨🇦 Thanks for your channel!!
I'm glad you end up changing the plastic for coffee bags! You're going to have an amazing garden! Hopefully moles are not a problem anymore 😌
It is possible to seal the edges with heat 😊
I just love your videos. I love that they are stories and not just snippets. Thanks for taking me along to a country I will probably never get to see in person.
Thanks ... Guy trues very hard to make every video a mini story (it’s the type of YT videos that we tend to prefer watching)
Voila! and just like that there are beds. Think the rustic wood and hessian looks great in the beds. Fingers crossed they are vole proof! Have a good week ahead xx
And I am looking forward to seeing what Kylie makes with the beautiful yarn
I found quarter-inch mesh works well for voles. They can get through the large mesh. Your beds look nice. Thanks for sharing.

Kylie, you are the most versatile, talented person ever! Guy, you are awesome and complete the team. I need more precision and symmetry in my life.
Love the rustic look. You both work so well together. They look fantastic.
Hi there .... glad we have found you again .... looking forward to following your future projects.

Thank You, Joy.
Could almost smell the ocd 😂 no body who doesn’t knit or crochet will understand the thrill of a yarn delivery 😊
My yarn collection is growing ... I need to find some more time to dedicate to those indoor projects. But so happy with the colours 😍
Seems like a great project, appreciate you sharing the building of this, excellent!
Good job, kids. I just love your cat. He/she really like to be involved and help you out.
That great sharing
Looking great and glad you have the wood for the project.

The plastic is meant to be cut with a torch. It seals the edges. It is a great weed barrier but not for places where you can't easily remove ot.
You're building an exhibition garden, an artistic gallery:)))
Those beds are fantastic and beautiful. It's always heartening to see people repurpose material that otherwise would just be burned or thrown away. Everything is looking really nice.
Great decision to not use plastic in the garden. We just digged lots of plastic stuff out of our new garden. The previous owner seemed to like it a lot.
Hi guys, I cut the black fabric with a hot soldering iron as it seals the edges.great job.

That’s exactly our thinking ... I’m hoping we’ll get a good few years before they break down
For the landscape fabric, I found using a kitchen blowtorch to cut the fabric melts the edges and prevents the fraying.
I'd think something like a soldering iron / hot knife could cut by melting, and automatically stop the fraying.
I wish we had your "not very nice" weather. At the moment it is similar (7C with chance of showers) but tomorrow's forecast is a high of -6C and a chance of flurries (snow). Our 1st spring is giving way to winter-part 2 ... or is it 3, I've lost count. Awe the northern climate, never a dull moment.

Great idea, using the burlap! I have great garden beds but yours are giving me bed envy. Well done.
Use the posts as supports for electrical conduit type hoops, shade or poly for big cold frame
Lovely work guys!
Beautiful beds, might copy 😍😇
Great job
Remember...EVERYTHING looks level with vodka and orange juice! Love your channel, just found it and am going through it methodically. Can't wait to see where things lead!!!
😂🤣😂. Need to make our own vodka then 😃
@@MAKEDOGROW Vodka is made with potatoes, isn’t it? Now you know what to do with your excess harvest.
Don't over think. What counts is how well the garden grows. Once the plants fill out you may never see the logs. 😁
Hey use old newspapers for lining. I used it successfully on a slope, 5-6 pages and at least. 10 cm overlapping. Wet then fist and soil after. It lasted me 5-6 years in Sweden. Surprisingly sturdy and no weeds.

You can line the bottom with old roof tiles. They will last longer

if you plant onions mixed with carrots, you dont get worms eating the carrots.

Yes, we do, they are all super friendly and accepting of our pigeon Portuguese and strange British ways 😂
This was an interesting build. I enjoy the humor you two share.
Good morning ☀️ 5am here in Boston.
They make really good fence post as well. If you have clay dirt you can fill those gaps with a muddy cement.
I’ve seen people use a small torch to cut the woven plastic. It leaves a melted edge that doesn’t fray.

I believe you could use burlap in replacement of landscape cloth. Also if you don't like posts, cut them off flush.
Hoping you guys are OK with the crazy temperatures and fires...
I do believe they make a solar powered vole deterrent. It emits a sound that the voles don't like.
My friend says to use decoy Owls. But, you must move them often. Preferably every day. Maybe Kylie could decorate the poles with an Owl or two?
Bark off will last longer - that’s where the bugs live!
I had to laugh! The two most exciting types of delivery for me are when the dump truck drops a load of compost or mulch and when the postie finally delivers the yarn I ordered weeks ago :)
Yep (also timber deliveries) .... rock’n’roll living 😂
Nice video, I saw them cut the plastic with a soldering iron. No fibers are then released. I prefer to use natural materials myself.
You could use brown cardboard for the sides, you can get them from the blue recicle bins.

Cardboard is a great alternative to the plastic
The coffee bags even looks better
But you did a nice work guys
I like the look seems worth the effort. Being lazy I would have dug a trench stood them all up and cut off at desired height because short pieces go together easier without the gap. Good call on the plastic it is everywhere these days and lasts far too long.

for the little peaces of fabric that you don't like (neither I do), you can use a lighter to burn the edges off.
Kylie: I want it rustic
Also Kylie: Pulls out a level :D
btw. bark OFF, else the wood rots much faster
instead of expensive screws, you could consider using rebar in the corners... little hard to explain but you pretty much just drill a hole in each end of the logs and stack em, then when you are done you cut off the rebar and if it is long enough you use it for another corner and so on, takes a little sawing to "halve" the logs where they cross each other but rebar (most places) is much cheaper than super long screws
