@jamesprigioni Won't the rotting logs offer an ideal place for a termite colony? I'm setting up my raised beds next to the storage building and home. One thing they like is cellulose/ wood and the other is moisture.

We have a raised bed that we put bales of straw in the bottom. It has been there at least 29 years, the outside wood (landscape timber cut and put in vertically) have started rotting out, but the bed itself is still intact and is a very productive.

Make positively sure the straw does NOT have herbicides sprayed on it. It will ruin a bed.

@elisabetk2595 Ай бұрын

@@MsCindyh If you get a contaminated bed, you'll have to grow only monocotyledons like corn and onions for years. And brassicas seem to be relatively resistant. Tomatoes and beans are really sensitive to persistent herbicides. By the way, alfalfa hay should be safe, but I don't know how it would do in raised beds. I would think it would get very hot fast.

@brhondastephens7629 Ай бұрын

Straw is not hay. Straw hasn’t nutritional value and isn’t feed to animals. Alfalfa is hay feed to cows and horses and other livestock.

THANK U A MILLION TIMES!!! I just got a 6ftx3ftx1ft corrugated metal raised bed system, AND I got a FREE windfall of hardwood woodchips from road crew that was working on my road - delivered FREE OF CHARGE! They were more than happy to not haul off to county yard!! So, I wondered if I could use those wood chips to save $$$ on filling this raised bed up and VOILA! There u are with another great video showing how to do it. My love to Tuck and keep growing strong u 2!!

❤ Tuck is such a good gardener. 😊 My son and I just got a big raised bed set up and placed yesterday afternoon. The bottom is filled with branches and logs from a tree that fell during the ice storm. I've got to get the soil in, but that's going to take several trips to the garden center. 🌻🌷🪻 Soon, food!!

I do leaves (ideally semi rotted) and twigs and small debris to fill the bottom half of all my pots even on seedlings. Prevents soil from leaking out. The roots grow easily all through the moist organic material. Additionally i notice ecosystems of decomposers from bugs as big as earwigs and roly polys down to the tiny hard to see ones. They live in the pot and presumably feeding the soil.

if i may suggest: if you have time, and fresh woodchips, you can "compost in place" by heaping up wood chips (and you can also add alfalfa pellets if you like) and just water it occasionally. it will sink down a LOT, and then you can top it up with your raised bed soil

@elisabetk2595 Ай бұрын

Oh yeah, we use alfalfa pellets to "cook down" leaves. Lately we've been using buckets of used coffee grounds we get from a local coffee shop instead. I'd like to try those on wood chips, hmmm.

Logs are the worst. Your new lasagna method looks pretty good. If i was doing one of those i'd consider running a 4" sock pipe across the bottom and 90 it up. The oxygen will aerate from the bottom and can provide a way to deep water so your plants develop deep roots. peace

I've also used newspaper bundles for core gardening, since those are more readily available than used straw bales. We'd been leaving them out for paper recycle for years, and it never occurred to me to bury them in the garden to raise the soil levels. They hold on to water pretty well. I tie them up with sisal twine, and douse them with nitrogen fertilizer before covering them up. Also, if you want your woodchips to break down super fast, consider growing wine cap mushrooms. Along with the native fungi, they ate through my woodchips in less than a year.

Hi James! I just watched your interview with the The Millennial Gardener and really enjoyed seeing your garden "backstage". You have really inspired me to start gardening with things like how to set up raised beds. I have also gotten a glass house for my tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The thing that I noticed about where you grow your tomatoes is that you grow them out in the open. I have always heard that tomatoes need to be protected from rain by putting them underneath a roof (ie glass house or tomato tent). Do you find that water from rain doesn't really hurt them when they are planted outside without protection. Thanks for all that you do and the inspiration that you have given me through your videos. Hello to Tuck! ❤❤

@smb123211 Ай бұрын

I compost kitchen scraps in raised beds and the ground is teeming with worms producing an incredibly rich dirt/compost. In fact, the soil is so good that I rarely use fertilizer where this soil exists. I am into year two for three huge metal containers (one is a circle 7' wide.) I went against your advice and used chips from a local tree guy on the bottom without any real problems except that this year the height has shrunk quite a bit. (Another large pile of chips has been sitting for nine months.) But worms are plentiful so I'm not worrying. My little dog could be a clone of Tuck.

James, Love the channel! Want to start a new chapter and start a vegetable garden in Texas! I have a mushroom facility within an hour of my house for compost. They say the following regarding their compost. Let me know what you think. From Monterey Mushrooms: On occasion, our farms have excess spent compost that the public is invited to use in gardening and landscaping projects. A pickup fee may apply. If you've never used spent mushroom compost before, please note that it contains high salt levels. For most home projects, the compost needs to be further composted or amended. Our spent compost is made up of various materials based on available resources in each region. Typically the input commodities are wheat straw, sources of nitrogen, and other organic materials. It's $25 for 5 yards of compost! Thanks brotha!
