I grow tall sun flowers and chop off all the leaves . Let them harden up in the garden. Then, I use the harden polls in a grid pattern in the ground as a trellis. ❤
Really appreciated this tutorial and love the look and versatility of the beds! I'm not allowed to use power tools anymore, since I cut my cord in two while using a chain saw...lol
Lord I have went through some petrus feed sacks through the years. I stopped putting them in the garden due to the ink. I was growing some winecap mushroom and noticed that they colonized the inked part of the bags last and really avoided it for a long while, so I imagine there is something in it that isn't cool. It could be 100% fine, I'm just guessing based on observations.
I mostly agree. Louisiana is a very humid state and gets a lot of rain, so untreated boards will start to rot the first year and come apart the second or third. Termites and sow bugs and silverfish will go to town on them along with mushrooms. I've thought about trying out charring them to extend the life but haven't gotten around to it yet. In the end it comes down to what you can afford to replace all of the time. In a perfect world non treated is the goal, but raising in your beds at home always beats store bought. Plastic might actually be worse than the wood treatment due to its physiological development effects on fetuses and infertility it causes. Food grade plastic breaks down in our heat really fast and it will just saturate your soil with microplastic particles.
@@entrepreneursfinest Use Ceder boards they don't rot as fast as the other wood and bugs don't like them. To protect them, you can soak boards in vinegar and apply linseed oil after they dry. Linseed oil is the carrier used in oil paints. Rags soaked in linseed oil pose a fire hazard! Have a lovely day
@@andrewcobra2000 Cedar doesn't hold up to repeated water contact, it will rot as fast as the rest if it has ground contact. It's mainly good for dry environments and where it has air flow and can dry easily, like fences or decks. The linseed oil would probably help though.
What vegetables are growing on the trellis? I ask with much curiosity wondering with squash would be a good idea for a trellis or would if be to heavy? Thank you for your channel
Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. Speak to the earth and it will listen to the Spirit in you. Everything God created is alive. Even the dirt. If we wont praise Him the rocks will. Even the rocks are alive. The earth has several purposes. Food for thought.

Wow! That really is a great tip. My neighbors bamboo jumped into my yard, so I've been blessed with bamboo canes, lol😊
@catherinerandall1966 that would work, too. And it would look very beautiful ❤
Put a pool noodle on top of the cattle panel to keep the shade cloth or plastic from tearing up so fast.
Another Great video... Thanks for sharing!
My favorite LA woman. You gave me a bunch of great ideas over the years

I don't recommend using treated wood unless you use a food-grade plastic liner inside.

Cucumbers, loofah, beans, small, melons, cantaloupes, squashes, small gourds
With that big of logs don't you need up watering more often?

Treated lumber isn’t dangerous for a garden bed?
