That is a great idea! I would've never guessed that wood would hold up so well. Pretty good results for a couple hours of work and a few dollars worth of materials!
Now that is just damn awesome. Definitely saving this video in hopes of one day having this setup. Very well done and thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️🦉
Hi..I’m from India..I was searching for a bed maker tool..but I couldn’t find a right one. Lucky to see your video..I’m going to copy and paste your idea at my farm. You saved lot of my money and time brother. May nature bless you and your family Love from india 🇮🇳
Thank you so much for the kind words. Here in cajun country we try to make before we buy. I had a couple other trysts at this that were way more technical but didn't work. Good luck with it and with the issues going on around the world. Prayers that you, your family , and friends all stay healthy throughout this trying time in the world! Gro Dat!!
That was pretty cool ! I loved the Bayou gardener . I bought 3 and attachment with row hillers , cultivators and middle buster from your neck of the woods from Stevens tractors .The Bayou gardener was my inspiration .
Mr Aaric that was easy to make and worked great! We gotta plant in rows here. The plants would drown most years without rows. I miss the old bayou gardener fourm. That was a special place for sure. The new one is nice but not the same. Have a great day! Gro Dat!!
This is exactly what I need to build for my tiller, if it wasn’t so late tonight I’d be out in the shop firing up the welding machine tonight!!!! But i ordered a new set of times for my tiller yesterday and they said they should be here by Saturday and ground should be dry by then and holy cow buddy, I’ve got another 10 acres to till and build rows for so you just made my night!!!! Thank you so much for this video brother!!!
Don Pfeiffer thank you for the kind words. If it helps. I used 11 inch wide wood from the saw mill. 1 1/4 inches thick. The plate for the bracket that attaches to the tiller is 4 inches wide x 11 inches long. The other plate that is welded to that is 6 inches wide and 11 inches long. The boards were cut 42 inches long then we tacked the plates together and moved the ends of the boards towards each other to 32 inch tops screwed the board across the top to hold it down and welded the plates together. Like I said in the vide about an hour's and a half. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks again for watching! Who Dat!
I have a 6 foot tiller that I was using. A 36 inch bed would be a much better size than the smaller I was making. Too much dirt was pushing over the sides with mine. I am sure it would do great at 36! Good luck and have a great week! Gro Dat!!
Your more than welcome. Helping with cheap and easy ideas to grow food should be shared and not hide. I dont know much but willing to help anyway I can by answering questions!
Great job my friend ! Great job ! Thinking we are going to be doing the same thing on a smaller scale on our Troy Bilt Horse ! It should work, at least it does in my simple little pea brain ! The handlebars are able to adjust off to the side by about a 45° angle, and moves our walking path out of the freshly tilled soil ! Have seen it a few times here, so time to quit talking about it, and just get it done !
Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. A perfect example why the USA will recover from the Chinese Communist Party virus. We always find a way to get stuff done.
Amen to that brother. We will make it our of this and we damm sure will be better off for it after it's done. Hopefully this brings America back to America. And small gardens in every yard. Each of my children have helped in various sized gardens from the 25 year old down to the almost 4 year old. I was proud poppa when the older daughter seen what was going on and wanted help getting beds put in her yard for growing. Stay safe my friend! Gro Dat!!
Haha thanks! It worked so well for something that cost next to nothing but a little time. Wish I was still able to use that land to grow. Have a great day tomorrow! Gro Dat!!
The down side is...once your lumber wares away after 25 years of use , you will have to replace it! Lol....great job mate, I’m gonna build me one of these . Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Lol 25 years. It worked great giving me a nice flat and fluffy bed to plant. The downside is that I am no longer growing at that place. So even after having ideas on how to make it better I have not been able to use it again. But one day I will ramp back up and have the space to use it and the tractor again! As of not will be growing in the GH and raised beds. Have a great week! Gro Dat!!
I been thinking about how to use a 13hp Honda motor that was given to me. I have a piece of land that I need to fill up and I don't have a tractor. So I could build a rototiller and have it so I could put the motor on it quickly. I have some tires around here that I could use to make it mobile. I got a friend with a junk yard down the road that I could get an axle at then shorten it and make it turn the tines. I used to work a lot down round Houma and Galliano. Heard the accent and had to subscribe. God bless you brother.
Thanks brother. Its surely hard to hide it. Lol even after 3 years in Ohio it came right back. That sounds like a great plan. Please let me know when you g at it together. I would love to see how it works! Downsizing alot. Moving everything to gown from the country. From 3 acres of pasture to .5 acre with a house already on it. Gonna be learning and building again! Have a great one!
TheMachiningman I cannot take the credit for it. I watched many videos from great people on here and put this together. It just fell this way by accident because we were in a hurry and just wanted to get some rows made. We made some additions to it to try but it has been too wet here to use the tiller since we did the additions
Your welcome It worked great. The wood has been replaced because it rotted but thats the way to go with making rows/beds Thanks for watching! Take care and God bless! Gro Dat!!
Hahaha I wish I still had the property to use it! 😅 I still have the tractor. Just don't have the property. Every time I look to get property something comes down the line and scares me off from getting it. But I can't seem to get rid of the tractor! Gro Dat!!
I bought some property about a year ago. And was starting back with everything, but fell at work about 6 months ago and tore up my knee. Just getting back to moving around good. But I have alot to catch up at the house. But it's coming. I even made a maker to make 2 rows at a time. It worked but needed some tweeking. Hope to have everything ready for the spring. Want to plant out 1 acre of okra
Love my Cajun brothers n miss Louisiana but slowly bringing Cajun things to Philippines n started with Cajun pork sausage. We now own a rice field n have researched where to get crawfish n within the next two years we hope to have boiled crawfish in mountain province in Philippines. God Bless n please stay safe there from this virus n I know u will all be safe from radical blm members n antifa! Love u all n God will help us through if we ask through prayer n a relationship with Him!
Yes indeed brother. Spread that cajun culture and heritage all over the world! God, family, and culture is what makes us the people we are! Good luck with the crawfish and cajun food up over there! Thanks for watching!! Have a great day!! Gro Dat!!
I have a 6 foot tiller. I used boards that were 12 inches high and 6 foot long. The width of the row you can determine. I wanted mine 32 inches wide so I bent the wood in and secured to where the row would come out the back at 32 inches.
Hey there thanks for stopping by! Thanks for the kind words. I found Mr Donalds videos on youtube years ago. I had just gotten back into gardening. Then I found his forum. The people there were amazing. I made many friends there and was even able to meet a few at the last get to get together. Along with Mr Donald a few have passed on to meet up in the big garden. And each hold a special place in my heart. There are other forums and even a new bayou gardener forum that I visit. But none will make the same impact on people and people lives that the original and Mr Donald was able to. He was a special man with a special way of bringing everyone together! Thanks again for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful comment. As I am going to work on building my garden areas this morning. I will be upbeat and smiling thinking about all the wonderful times and great veggies I was able to grow because of him. Have a great week! Gro Dat!!
Hey thanks Ronnie! That was my best invention and by far my most watched video! Yep still have the tractor not much use for it on 1/2 acre but just can't seem to get rid of it. O wanted one for so long.
I am almost to the age that I will be happy with the half acre I have now. I was supposed to get 6 acres and the farm house from my grandparents, but I am not waiting to rebuild a farm there. So at this point I may end up with a truck Fram somewhere else but I will probably not. It's alot of work build something like I have now. And to do it for a 3rd time. I just dont see me having the want to do it again. Hope yall staying warm and your ready for thebcold thats on the way brother! Gro Dat!!
@@CajunHydroponics Man I completely understand that! Yeah it’s already gotten a little bit colder tonight. Suppose to get a winter mix. Who knows. I’m going to go cut trees and play on my tractor lol. I just got a new chainsaw and so got to use it! Haha
We grow normal crops as in tomatoes cucumbers peppers. The reason for the beds / rows is because here in south louisiana we gulf storms most every afternoon when it starts warming up. Those storms drop tons of rain. 2 to 3 inches in an hour. Without the rows the plants would die because the soil would never dry. Everything in this area has to be planted on rows. Its easier for us to deal with a drought here also. Water is pretty plentiful as the water table is about 20 feet to the first zone. Thanks for watching! Gro Dat!!
I no longer work the ground there. We have just purchased property to start a homestead on. Will be using this again with some modifications. Did add alot of compost to that area and it made an amazing difference both in the soil and the quality of the plants and vegetables! Thanks for watching! Take care! Gro Dat!!
It does raise up. My tractor is short so it would drag the ground a bit. I added a couple bars from the tiller to the back brace it would hold level and stay off the ground.
Nice soil. Mine is a lot more clay, though been working to build up organic matter in it. How much 'pre-prep' work did you do to it ? Did you use a subsoiler, plow, etc ahead of time ? Thanks !
Ed Smith we have alot of clay here also. All I passed was the tiller. I pass it forward once, then back down the row, than pass it forward again . I find with this tiller that works the best. This was the best year of the tilling. We hit it perfect with the weather. Ground was perfect, dry but not drought dry. I add rice chaff from time to time when I am able to get it. There's no nutritional value to the soil from it, but it does help to keep it fluffy. 20 years ago they could not get rid of it, now they sell it... go figure! Thanks for watching. If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.
As its built right here, I dont think it would hold up to that kind of soil. There is something similar that is used to make levees around here for ponds. Maybe look up that. Thanks for watching! Gro Dat!!
It is just using a 3 of tiller. We fabricated the back end that makes the row/bed. Used scraps we had around the farm. I was planning on making a how to video but we no longer have the farm so I have no use for another one. If you have any questions please feel free to ask away. I would be more than happy to answer them. Have a great week! Gro Dat!!
Zaappp !!! It's a 6 foot tiller the opening there in the back was 28 inches. I have opened it up to 33 a couple times. The excess dirt falls over the sides when there is too much for the row.
Growing Grass Hobby Farms Thanks for the reply. I've got an 81 inch tiller and have been thinking about doing this to make 48 inch beds for rows of blueberries instead of buying a hiller. They don't even have to be as high as yours. They're going to settle anyway. One pass would probably do. Maybe make the flat board across the back angle down to flatten it out and put something there to knock the corners down and maybe tighten it up.
Zaappp !!! The issue I have with lt leaving furrow down the middle is not bad for me. I like to plant in a furrow. To stop it I will attatch some pipes from the tiller to the back of the bed shaper. The bed shaper tends to want to bring the back end up when it fills full of dirt. We have made a couple mods to it but with the weather we have been having was not able to try them to see how they work. Only had time to do it this way before the rain started... 2 weeks ago. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions!
I will have one this afternoon. Got stuck at work for the last 2 weeks. Have not been in the GH so besides a few pictures from my wife the video will first look for me also! Yall grow dat!!
Sorry just realized this was about the tiller. We have not done much else with the row maker as it's been unreasonably wet this year. Also working on another GH. Sorry for the confusion
Nicely done sir! I bet with the corner of a board in the center of your top piece, you would have a simple furrow maker. and you are a brave man to stand right on the back of that when he engaged that tiller on that ground! lol. I would have had pieces of rock shards coming out of every piece of my body just so my wife would be able to say " damn you old fool, standing in back of a rototiller with the guard up... " LOL
Lol we pulled the guard off to hook up the brackets. I had already passed the tiller a few times so it was soft, but we have her little worry about rocks down here in South louisiana. As long as someone don't put them, there's none in the ground! Oh am ibwould have feel off my wife would have said the same thing! Thanks for watching
It possible could. If your not pulling a tiller behind the mower you will prob have to add more weight to hold it down. I have seen a couple videos on RUclips e where people actually made something similar and just pulled it while walking. It didn't make a high bed but did make a bed. Couple thing to think about with doing the with a mower. The dirt does get awful heavy when pulling. Trying to make too high of a bed would end up bogging down the mower. Another thing the better the ground is tilled the easier the beds shape. Good luck! Gro Dat!
Maani Hoosen it should work. Not sure where your from but here in South Louisiana for the crawfish ponds they use what's called levee builders. I had never seen them untill i made this. But look on youtube or Google search and you should be able to find some pictures or someone with a video. It will do the same as this without the tiller. We are also thinking about making one for a 3 point hitch connection. When the gardening slows down we like playing with the welding machine. So no telling what we're gonna end up with! Gonna try and video more of our projects! Thanks for watching!
Maani Hoosen thank You! Planning on building one out of iron when the summer slowed down a bit. We already have some ideas to make it better and more user friendly. Also when I build the new one I will try and do a video of the build.
Lol its just clumps of dirt. Thats was an old cow field. Though I am no longer working that property. Working on some in town growing. Here in south Louisiana we have black jack dirt. It has to be perfectly moist to have some good tilling. And that was after 3 years of adding organic matter to the soil. Hope to soon have more property closer to the house. Thanks for watching and the kind words! Gro Dat!!
Yes The boards are 12 inches tall if they were taller the row would be made higher also. Some dirt was spilling over the sides already because there was too much dirt
Your gonna love it. I wish I had about a 4 ft tiller that way it would not spill so much dirt over the sides. But it does amazing! Take care! Gro Dat!!
Jon Parker thanks for watching. We're gonna be making one of metal and have ideas were gonna try with it. During this time of year it's garden work. When it cools off its garden and welding projects. So hope it's more things you enjoy watching! Who dat!

Thank you! It is such an easy and cheap way to make rows.
Take care!
Gro Dat!!
Its great idea, i got this video while thinking that how to make rising beds in my field, thank you.
Yes.
I am presently in the same shoes.
Hi..I’m from India..I was searching for a bed maker tool..but I couldn’t find a right one. Lucky to see your video..I’m going to copy and paste your idea at my farm. You saved lot of my money and time brother.
May nature bless you and your family Love from india 🇮🇳
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Here in cajun country we try to make before we buy. I had a couple other trysts at this that were way more technical but didn't work.
Good luck with it and with the issues going on around the world.
Prayers that you, your family , and friends all stay healthy throughout this trying time in the world!
Gro Dat!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
That was pretty cool ! I loved the Bayou gardener . I bought 3 and attachment with row hillers , cultivators and middle buster from your neck of the woods from Stevens tractors .The Bayou gardener was my inspiration .
Mr Aaric that was easy to make and worked great!
We gotta plant in rows here. The plants would drown most years without rows.
I miss the old bayou gardener fourm. That was a special place for sure. The new one is nice but not the same.
Have a great day!
Gro Dat!!
Simple quick farmer !? Nice one!
Wish I still had that place. But it worked great!
Thanks for watching
Gro Dat!!
This is exactly what I need to build for my tiller, if it wasn’t so late tonight I’d be out in the shop firing up the welding machine tonight!!!! But i ordered a new set of times for my tiller yesterday and they said they should be here by Saturday and ground should be dry by then and holy cow buddy, I’ve got another 10 acres to till and build rows for so you just made my night!!!! Thank you so much for this video brother!!!
Don Pfeiffer thank you for the kind words. If it helps.
I used 11 inch wide wood from the saw mill. 1 1/4 inches thick.
The plate for the bracket that attaches to the tiller is 4 inches wide x 11 inches long.
The other plate that is welded to that is 6 inches wide and 11 inches long.
The boards were cut 42 inches long then we tacked the plates together and moved the ends of the boards towards each other to 32 inch tops screwed the board across the top to hold it down and welded the plates together.
Like I said in the vide about an hour's and a half.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks again for watching!
Who Dat!
Hi it’s great job you done I’m will to try too but can I make 36 inch bed with same board length
I have a 6 foot tiller that I was using. A 36 inch bed would be a much better size than the smaller I was making. Too much dirt was pushing over the sides with mine.
I am sure it would do great at 36!
Good luck and have a great week!
Gro Dat!!
Thank you for that quick response
Your more than welcome. Helping with cheap and easy ideas to grow food should be shared and not hide.

Great job my friend !
Great job !
Thinking we are going to be doing the same thing on a smaller scale on our
Troy Bilt Horse !
It should work, at least it does in my simple little pea brain !
The handlebars are able to adjust off to the side by about a 45° angle, and moves our walking path out of the freshly tilled soil !
Have seen it a few times here, so time to quit talking about it, and just get it done !
Thanks for the kind words !
It has worked well and should work good on a troy bilt just as it does on the tractor. Good luck with it!
Gro Dat!
That's really nice
Thanks bro we gonna be firing it up again soon I hope with some new ideas for it
Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. A perfect example why the USA will recover from the Chinese Communist Party virus. We always find a way to get stuff done.
Amen to that brother. We will make it our of this and we damm sure will be better off for it after it's done.

I made one based on this and it worked great. Thank you.
I like your idea!

This popped up today in my suggestion viewing folks, very cool take care
Haha thanks! It worked so well for something that cost next to nothing but a little time.
Wish I was still able to use that land to grow.

Lol 25 years.
It worked great giving me a nice flat and fluffy bed to plant.
The downside is that I am no longer growing at that place. So even after having ideas on how to make it better I have not been able to use it again.
But one day I will ramp back up and have the space to use it and the tractor again!
As of not will be growing in the GH and raised beds.
Have a great week!

Looks great.. bet you coulda offset that a little and got them rows right side by side
Gonna have yo try that. I hope to be putting it back to work again this fall. At the new small farm.
I been thinking about how to use a 13hp Honda motor that was given to me. I have a piece of land that I need to fill up and I don't have a tractor. So I could build a rototiller and have it so I could put the motor on it quickly. I have some tires around here that I could use to make it mobile. I got a friend with a junk yard down the road that I could get an axle at then shorten it and make it turn the tines. I used to work a lot down round Houma and Galliano. Heard the accent and had to subscribe. God bless you brother.
Thanks brother. Its surely hard to hide it. Lol even after 3 years in Ohio it came right back.
That sounds like a great plan. Please let me know when you g at it together. I would love to see how it works!
Downsizing alot. Moving everything to gown from the country. From 3 acres of pasture to .5 acre with a house already on it.
Gonna be learning and building again!
Have a great one!
Just watched what seemed like every video on you tube and I think you have the best design, great job brother
TheMachiningman I cannot take the credit for it. I watched many videos from great people on here and put this together. It just fell this way by accident because we were in a hurry and just wanted to get some rows made. We made some additions to it to try but it has been too wet here to use the tiller since we did the additions
This is excellent. I was trying to figure out how to get it done without dumping 300 to 400 dollars on a new piece of equipment. And yes..."Who Dat.!"

Why do you make beds in the garden? What type of crops do you grow with the beds?
We grow normal crops as in tomatoes cucumbers peppers.

How much hp your beast have ?
28 hp at the PTO. Thats on a 6 foot tiller. A 4 ft tiller would work much better like this
I'm thinking, I like that. I want a 2 ft high bed!
It should not be a problem just have to put higher sides with the wood.
Thanks for watching!
Gro Dat!!
2 ft is too hight....; unnecessary
Excellent !!
Thank you
Does the rowmaker lift when you raise the tiller? Looks awesome, I am going to try it with some 1/4 inch steel stock bent to the right angle.
It does raise up. My tractor is short so it would drag the ground a bit. I added a couple bars from the tiller to the back brace it would hold level and stay off the ground.
Mate thats workin a treat 😀👍
THANK FOR THE VIDEO
Nice soil. Mine is a lot more clay, though been working to build up organic matter in it. How much 'pre-prep' work did you do to it ? Did you use a subsoiler, plow, etc ahead of time ?
Thanks !
Ed Smith we have alot of clay here also.
All I passed was the tiller. I pass it forward once, then back down the row, than pass it forward again . I find with this tiller that works the best.
This was the best year of the tilling. We hit it perfect with the weather. Ground was perfect, dry but not drought dry.
I add rice chaff from time to time when I am able to get it. There's no nutritional value to the soil from it, but it does help to keep it fluffy.
20 years ago they could not get rid of it, now they sell it... go figure!
Thanks for watching. If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.
God bless you brother!@!!!!!! Supperrrr & Thanks for this,,,,,,,
Is it works for heavy and wet soil?
As its built right here, I dont think it would hold up to that kind of soil. There is something similar that is used to make levees around here for ponds. Maybe look up that.
Thanks for watching!
Gro Dat!!
smart and simple
Ye it is, and works great! Thanks for warching

Gro dat!
We need this. From Bangladesh. Can you tell me who is importer of Bangladesh??? Plz give details.
It is just using a 3 of tiller. We fabricated the back end that makes the row/bed. Used scraps we had around the farm.
I was planning on making a how to video but we no longer have the farm so I have no use for another one.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask away. I would be more than happy to answer them.
Have a great week!
Gro Dat!!
Nice work! How wide is the tiller and how wide is the bed opening out the back?
Zaappp !!! It's a 6 foot tiller the opening there in the back was 28 inches. I have opened it up to 33 a couple times. The excess dirt falls over the sides when there is too much for the row.
Growing Grass Hobby Farms Thanks for the reply. I've got an 81 inch tiller and have been thinking about doing this to make 48 inch beds for rows of blueberries instead of buying a hiller. They don't even have to be as high as yours. They're going to settle anyway. One pass would probably do. Maybe make the flat board across the back angle down to flatten it out and put something there to knock the corners down and maybe tighten it up.
Zaappp !!! The issue I have with lt leaving furrow down the middle is not bad for me. I like to plant in a furrow.
To stop it I will attatch some pipes from the tiller to the back of the bed shaper. The bed shaper tends to want to bring the back end up when it fills full of dirt.
We have made a couple mods to it but with the weather we have been having was not able to try them to see how they work. Only had time to do it this way before the rain started... 2 weeks ago.
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions!
You sound like you from the Parish!! I live in Hessmer.
It's hard to hide.. lol
@@CajunHydroponics where you from bud? I’m over in baton rouge

@@CajunHydroponics hell yeah you right around the corner. I got a buddy that lives over there in Scott.
Yep not far. Have a daughter in school there in BR
Any video updates you can show?
I will have one this afternoon.
Got stuck at work for the last 2 weeks. Have not been in the GH so besides a few pictures from my wife the video will first look for me also!
Yall grow dat!!
Sorry just realized this was about the tiller. We have not done much else with the row maker as it's been unreasonably wet this year. Also working on another GH. Sorry for the confusion
Nicely done sir! I bet with the corner of a board in the center of your top piece, you would have a simple furrow maker.
and you are a brave man to stand right on the back of that when he engaged that tiller on that ground! lol. I would have had pieces of rock shards coming out of every piece of my body just so my wife would be able to say " damn you old fool, standing in back of a rototiller with the guard up... " LOL
Lol we pulled the guard off to hook up the brackets. I had already passed the tiller a few times so it was soft, but we have her little worry about rocks down here in South louisiana. As long as someone don't put them, there's none in the ground!
Oh am ibwould have feel off my wife would have said the same thing!
Thanks for watching
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10
thank you very much.exactly what I need.
Te copio. Genial
Thank you!
Gro Dat!!
Would this work with a small riding mower?
It possible could.
If your not pulling a tiller behind the mower you will prob have to add more weight to hold it down.
I have seen a couple videos on RUclips e where people actually made something similar and just pulled it while walking.
It didn't make a high bed but did make a bed.
Couple thing to think about with doing the with a mower.
The dirt does get awful heavy when pulling. Trying to make too high of a bed would end up bogging down the mower.
Another thing the better the ground is tilled the easier the beds shape.
Good luck!
Gro Dat!
I don't have a rotator but I have a cutivator I going to try it
Maani Hoosen it should work. Not sure where your from but here in South Louisiana for the crawfish ponds they use what's called levee builders.
I had never seen them untill i made this. But look on youtube or Google search and you should be able to find some pictures or someone with a video. It will do the same as this without the tiller.
We are also thinking about making one for a 3 point hitch connection.
When the gardening slows down we like playing with the welding machine.
So no telling what we're gonna end up with! Gonna try and video more of our projects!
Thanks for watching!
A Cajun will overcome
Not sure we always over come. But we will surely give it all we got!
Thanks for watching!
Gro Dat!!
It's called a raised bed
Love it
Maani Hoosen thank You! Planning on building one out of iron when the summer slowed down a bit. We already have some ideas to make it better and more user friendly. Also when I build the new one I will try and do a video of the build.
HEY, THIS IS GREAT, I WILL TRY SAME WITH MOTOCULTIVATOR
Thank you. Hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
Thanks for watching!
Y'all grow dat!!
That's awesome! You got some horrible looking soil, though... looks like dry concrete! Is that gravels in it, or just clumps of dirt?
Lol its just clumps of dirt.
Thats was an old cow field. Though I am no longer working that property. Working on some in town growing. Here in south Louisiana we have black jack dirt. It has to be perfectly moist to have some good tilling. And that was after 3 years of adding organic matter to the soil.
Hope to soon have more property closer to the house.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Gro Dat!!
ca cest couyon! should have let the be-be weld dat mais.
Mphymel he's gonna learn! Gonna be 2 next week and he helped change the water pump on my truck Saturday. The ba be is a big help!
Thanks for watching!
Keep sticks more closer then the hight increases
Yes
The boards are 12 inches tall if they were taller the row would be made higher also. Some dirt was spilling over the sides already because there was too much dirt
Im gunna put one these on my tiller.. so the wife doesn’t have to hand shovel her rows
Your gonna love it. I wish I had about a 4 ft tiller that way it would not spill so much dirt over the sides. But it does amazing!
Take care!
Gro Dat!!
Who'da Man!
Jon Parker thanks for watching. We're gonna be making one of metal and have ideas were gonna try with it.
During this time of year it's garden work. When it cools off its garden and welding projects. So hope it's more things you enjoy watching!
Who dat!
