It is so beautiful great job! Put cardboard down on top of the grass then put compost and soil on top of the cardboard. The grass will die and break down with the cardboard and make the garden even happier.

I grew up having fresh vegetables at home. My mom have had vegetable garden since I can remember and she still does it. I cannot wait to have a house so I can start to grow my own vegetables. Thank you for this video and great tips. :)

you can put cardboard down before adding the soil in the raised beds ;) The grass will die and de cardboard will decompose

What a nice way to pass the time! You’re glowing, seems this hobby is good for your soul. 🥰

I am greek and my grandpa used to take care of his own vegetable garden until he got sick. It was very nice to have fresh vegetables at home that naturally tasted like heaven. Here most people have their very own garden, provided they don't live in an apartment, since we are truly gifted with fertile earth and a favourable climate. Sending love from Greece!

Woah, I’ve never seen a raised bed made like this. I love it cause it’s such a simple way compared to the more traditional way of using power tools.

[allnaturalhomesteaders]

Put cardboard or newspapers down before creating your beds to stop weeds from coming through your beds, eventually it decomposes and feeds your beds. Also get yourself a Clyde's garden planner, it's the best 6 bucks I've ever spent on our garden!!! It tell me when to plant what according to your frost dates, it also tells you all of the companion crops for each crop. It's for both summer and fall crops. It tells you distance to grow them, and how many seeds per row, and how many pounds of fruit per bed. It's a cool little calendar! You should definitely invest in Clyde's garden planner! I suggest it to everyone!!!! Lol 😂

I'm 22 and have always wanted to grow my own veggies. I'm now a subscriber after watching this(my first) video. I can't wait to start watching all you have procured on this channel.

Very good information in this video. Love that you guys are doing this TOGETHER; and seem really happy doing so. I feel this ongoing experience can really change lives.

I live in an apartment; and so the yard is off limits. I chose to grow stuff in a raised bed that I bought from Walmart for about $100 - super simple assembly - a five year old could do it.

Got 3 big bags of potting soil, 1 bag of manure, and several different packages of seeds.

I don't have a lot of room and made a few mistakes; but it was very satisfying to see that those seeds (some of them were so tiny), actually took root in these cardboard starter kits.

The roots grew through the bottom, and then I transplanted the whole thing. Two of the vegetables showed yellow flowers, a taller plant and one where the leaves were much closer to the soil.

Got hit with a hail storm; but most everything survived. I think a critter, possibly a squirrel ate the leafy stuff from one of the plants; but can't be sure.

And I've been taking video of the process; even if I don't upload to my own YouTube channel; I'll have it as a record of what I've done, what worked and didn't. My biggest issue at the moment; is to know just WHEN to harvest anything. Seems that all of the seeds that I picked were good to plant in May to June or something. But just by looking, I have no idea when to harvest.

Since I forgot to label them; I hardly know what the 8 different things I planted are, just by looking at the stems and leaves. But I believe I know what the carrots are and those flowered plants, I'm assuming are both zucchini and cucumber; though I don't know which is which.

It's exciting to learn what I can.


To me, the advent of the digital age, and YouTube in particular has become priceless... allowing me to discover things I could only dream of before this revolution hit.

I subscribed. And best of luck to all your future endeavors! 😎

FYI those are not caterpillars! They are white grubs (beetles) and will eat all your plants! Also watch out for tomato worms. They look like green caterpillars with a horn.Throw them in your compost pile.

[sarahrosbury]

I’m growing carrots, cauliflower, lettuce and spinach. It’s growing amazingly right now!

[harleighmincey]

I'm not the type that really likes being outside but I did like helping my dad do gardening when I was smaller. I think you've convinced me to get back into it and to spend more time outside 😁

I'm a beginner and I enjoyed this video. I'm starting a garden and hopefully I gain a lot of knowledge from my experience.

[Torsee]

Great video!
One tip for comment readers. Never use RoundUp to kill off the grass/weeds!
RoundUp is no good!
Pick the weeds and grass like she did!
No shortcuts!
Grow something!

[MB-kmhh]

Did you grow any from seed? That's what I usually do and would love some extra tips on how that might change your approach at all. I'm jealous your climate allows so
much growing throughout the year!

I want to start a vegetable garden once my husband and I buy a house. It won't be for a while, but I've already been trying to plan things out. I love the aesthetics of garden beds, but they've just seemed like a lot of work to put together and maintain. Your video was THE MOST helpful in terms of showing us how to put together a functional, aesthetic garden bed without much work at all, and the wood can be easily taken out and replaced if anything starts to rot. So thank you!

Hi that’s an awesome easy and simple garden bed! To block the grass, lay carboard boxes.. or stack a bunch of boxes you have lying around from amazon orders and stuff on top of the grass and lay your bed there.. cover the boxes with your soil and you shouldn’t have to worry about the grass popping out. Also the earthworms will help break down the boxes.. you’ll get lots of earthworks this way too

I love finding new and innovative ways to do things- it makes life more fun and Interesting.

Hi Carrie! OMG!...starting a garden is my dream! 💕 I can’t wait to have a home and start a garden. Your garden looks amazing.💕

[OurLibertyHouse]

Awesome, we have been gardening for 7 years now and you learn so much every year! This year we are planting a ton of tomatoes and squash, herbs, peppers and beans.
