Creating a Garden Space That Will Last - Before building your raised garden beds

  • I'll show you the most important first steps in creating a garden that will last a lifetime. Do this before building your raised garden beds, plant your in ground flower garden, or and other type of backyard garden or front yard garden.
    The process of properly preparing the foundation and underground utilities for a garden space is the key to creating a highly functional garden with minimal long term maintenance and maximum yield. After over 15 years of creating home gardens I’m finally creating my dream garden in my backyard by drawing on everything I’ve learned from previous gardens to create a space that it beautifully, functional, and long lasting. This is a lot of work up front, but it will pay off ten fold in the amount of time, effort, and headaches that often arise when the foundation of a garden space is not properly designed and built from the beginning. So do yourself a favor and do it right the first time!
    For early access to more details about the rest of the process including bed building, my soil blend, irrigation etc. see my Instagram highlights for this project: Instagram: urbanfarmst...

Your knowledge, work ethic, and ability to teach are absolutely second to none. You have done an amazing job of transforming your property and you are an encouragement to all of us as we continue to either start and/or improve our gardens. Happy for you and proud of you for the work you do and the harvest(s) you get. Perfect video!

      Thank you. I’m happy to share. It’s unfortunate that a lot of people share advice on many of these platforms don’t have the experience to know whether or not they are giving good advice. Which causes some people to see this level of work as “overkill” because they are so used to seeing other people doing similar things an “easier way” by cutting corners. Do it right, or do it twice 👍🏻

    Thank you Kyle for showing what's possible here in Sacramento! With your inspiration I finished Part 1 of my dream garden just in time for this spring planting. My dad told me to leave a comment here telling you we had a blast building two redwood raised beds (4'x13') and (4'x15') out in my front yard with river rock paths. You did a thorough job, at some times crossing the line of OCD when it comes to growing vegetables. Don't worry, I danced that line the whole time with my project as well when I was treating the raised beds like furniture pieces. Attention to detail and a little extra thought in the process makes work like ours stand above the rest. Next Project is transforming my old in ground garden space in the backyard to a fruit tree forest like you did as well. Keep up the dedicated work and best of luck this growing season!
