New gardeners are often worried about only having a small area for gardening. But even a small garden can be incredibly productive if planned carefully :) It will have an impact on the groceries cost, and your health! The best time to do it was yesterday, the next best time is today.

Thank you Ben! I needed your positive energy today :)

I think this is the best raised bed I’ve ever seen. You got so many vegetables into such a small space. Very impressive! I don’t have a garden so I can only grow limited vegetables indoors. But one day if I’m fortunate enough to move where I can have an outdoor grow space, I will definitely be using this raised bed idea!!!

Thank you Ben,
You can plant the peas at the edge of the bed and let them hang down when growing.

Exactly the video i was looking for! I have a very small garden and need most of it for my disabled child, this year we will be growing veg as a family and only have space for one small raised bed.

Stupid comment perhaps, but I just love your techniques, information AND YOUR humour. Delightful! I’m making mine tomorrow- best to everyone ❤

Ben and Monty are my go to gardeners.
I've got a few acres and so have put to oneside 1/2 an acre for growing veg. Started using the app and it really is very good, intuitive and very easy to edit.
Great video and always love Ben's cheerful attitude.

I'm 'remodelling' my garden, and thinking about putting in a couple of raised beds. I live in a 2 bed terraced house, but have a decent sized garden, around 10m long. I don't think I've ever utilised the space properly, but thanks to Ben for giving me inspiration for what to plant where.

Hello, I've learned so much from youtube over the year's. my garden is everything i want and more. but i must say of all the people who teach me how, you are the only one who makes me stop your video until i quit laughing so i can learn. you keep it fun and i love that. i was stressed about slug's, but when you put on those slug eyeballs to teach me how, the worries went away. and i got through it just fine. like you you said there is no one fix. do at least 3 different thing at the same time! "Brilliant!"as you might say. Thank You. LonnieRay Sacramento Ca.

Good morning Ben, what a splendid idea for a raised bed, and a good variety of easy stuff. Raised beds are out of bounds for dogs that love fresh veggies. We had a dog that went into the flat bed and pulled out the pencil size carrots, we always found just the greenery on the lawn, I watched him one day walking non-chantey into the bed and pulled a carrot, sat on the grass with the carrot between his front paws and munched away merrily. He was a smart dog. Raised beds are far better in any case. Thank for the great idea and it really did not take too long to assemble and plant-up. Have a beautiful peaceful day, do take care. Kind regards.

I just love these videos so much, you make them so approachable and with all sorts of great tidbits sprinkled in. I've been doing veggies for several years but I still always learn something new.

I'm very lucky and I have a frog riding out winter in my greenhouse so at least for now, slugs and insects are as much of a problem 😂

This video reminded me that I have space around a tree in the front yard. It is in a 4x4 bed and has a thin trunk despite being 15 years old. Thanks for the inspiration ❤

[AndreaDingbatt]

Thank you Ben!! Everything is ready for the Spring growing, your enthusiasm is catching!!
Lets hope that "Slug-Fest" is cancelled for this year!! ":0)X!

[PennyFarmer-wg]

I really like this bed. I just got 3 kits, that I can stack. This is really good for me this year. Thank you so much.

Ben You are the Master of Gardening 😊😊😊 Greatings from Norway

[MaryzEasyRecipes]

The wooden edged bed is really a great idea. The tips you gave on planting some of the vegetables like peas are really worthy putting them into practice. Thanks so much for sharing this exclusive video.

[DJGroff]

Thank you for sharing all your expertise, Ben. I'm addicted to the garden planner. I'm kind of new at this, but I've rearranged my garden design like 50 times 😂

[curtis]

I just built 5 beds just like this! I’m so excited to watch this video!

[blackcoralean]

I watch so many of your videos and somehow missed I wasn't subscribed to you, until now. You are so wonderful to watch and listen to, thank you!

[paulinemcleggan]

Ben, have to say your best video yet. And for me and the school kids absolutely fabulous. We might even copy your planting. Thank you so much for doing this. From all of us at the SEN department 👍👍👍👍👍 cheers
