Enjoyed your channel. One tip if you just pop cardboard over that grass then put your soil down it saves you so much back breaking work. The grass will break down fast anyway and provide a great green manure as a bonus. Putting branches and twigs onto of the cardboard if you have pruning around the garden is a great way to get rid of them. Will keep the garden moisture up and break down to beautiful soil. Thank you for sharing. Your gardening is growing beautifully. Well done.

Good video some ppl don’t know a lot of gardening. I use Epsom salts a magnesium mineral, and put it all around the edges of the garden plants etc as snails slugs creepy crawl ya hate it and when they slide over it their body’s burst out as it’s to much for them to digest and dried them up.marigolds next to tomatoes as they repel worms on tomatoes. Try yellow pear tomatoes it’s like candy. Put Mulch down for weeds.if your soil is hard use some peat moss or vermiculite. You can mark your garden with wooden spoons labeled in the spoon for the name. Hang chimes nearby to scare away squirrels birds etc As the world charges more for herbs and basic 🍅 🌶 vegetables 🌽 and this virus that makes it hard to get what you want when you go into the store, we should grow like farmers do our own food. It’s called survival or homesteading in the modern world. It’s a skill indeed and beneficial to have real food. If it isn’t grown or killed like fish salmon chicken then it’s not real food. Pasta is not real however quinoa and rice is. So we all need to be in tune with our self and earth and make us be the way it should be.i agree health is happy and nature is us. No one ever has had time nor thought of it. Basil is very important in spaghetti sauces salads and Tom yum soup why pay $3. For a sprig.for starters when you see things grow you get a spunk inside like you can live off the land.

A big back yard, LMAO I got a place with 55 acres, so big I have a hard time maintaining it. I garden to eat the best food possible. I never thought eggs would be a dollar each. I'm going to expand my garden areas, I like to eat. If I grow too much I can just give it away, or store it. I own a goat farm, I grow in compost only. I like the build, those concrete pieces. I use a concrete mixer to help compost that type of compost with grass in it. We call those June bug larva, and they are very destructive (.Chichen feed). Compost all paper products, all food waste, worms love it. I would never buy compost again. raised beds means less digging, and a place for compost

The part you called the most labor intensive, you didn't even have to do. All you had to do was mow your grass really low, Place broken down cardboard boxes into your bed, then add compost on top. Cardboard will kill remaining grass before it breaks down by feeding the earthworms. Do this during Winter and your garden bed will be ready for planting by Spring time.

What is the purpose of the wooden boxes? I've had a vegetable garden for years and never used those. Is there a benefit?

Do you guys have problems with Lanka digging in the veggie garden??

Not really. When we built the garden we were very alert about it and always discourage him when we approaches or sniffs at the garden. We caught him in there before and put him on time out. He learned to stay away. Also the spiky white fence helps discourage him going in.
