@tastycajun0381 Any soil. I use heavy red clay soil from my house yard. Soil from a farming mate, bought loam from a soil retailer. For the heavy red clay soil I use 70% compost 30% red clay soil. The rest because the soil is more easily workable in its natural state I use 50/50 mix compost to soil. It works well for me. I also recycle all my garden soil through the compost bins as the layer required for the medium for the bacteria to live in. I have five one cubic metre compost bins in use

[stylus880]

@tastycajun0381 m8 The best way is to put a layer of soaked newspapers about 5 pages maximum. This will prevent weeds etc from growing up into the raised bed. Newsprint nowadays is soy based and not harmful for vegetable growing. Throw away any glossy pages of advertisement. Soil, use any soil BUT I use a 50/50 ratio of soil and compost for the majority of soil and work in a manure (horse chicken sheep etc) about 2" deep into the soil before planting.

It's just too bad this lady has a huge redneck accent

[Tewrobert]

@Haliotro No, whats really bad is having to put up with you complainers.

Great video, Thanks for sharing

[Haliotro]

@Tewrobert LOL... you have to admit her voice decreases her credibility (:

[capitalfred]

@Haliotro As opposed to what? a New York Accent? If I had to judge a video on gardening based solely on the voice of the narrator, I would believe a southern accent to be more credible than a city accent. What do they grow in the city, dandelions?

Who ever put this video together,has done a wonderful job.

[kle8532405]

wow i love it .this is well helpful

[quaxk]

that video has sound advice btw

[quaxk]

a little piece of advice for those suffering from articulation pain, ankle, knees, back especially, do not build your beds larger than 3' and leave at least 2½' between them, a 4' large bed might be tempting, but with greater area come greater pain, trust me, be conservative

Great video! What an excellent presentation. Very informative. I will surely refer to this again. Thanks for your work:)

[lankey32]

This is a great video but what sucks is I live in Maine and we have a very short growing season.

This Video Was GREAT!!

[MasasWife]

Excellent video! Very informative. :)

[TheWillowwaterer]

the "monoculture" or as I know it companion planting is the way to go imho...it's crazy easy when we learn this method ..the plants even feed each other !! ...oh, and take care of each others pests ... Nature has the answers..

[Danman429]

@TheWillowwaterer Could you explain companion planting for me? Ive never heard of it but youve peaked my curiosity

[TheWillowwaterer]

@Danman429 simply put you plant together species which are known for being good companions...: space will not allow detailed comments here.. google it- also try looking up permaculture..

Also, the method of the 'three sisters' [corn squash beans] is a good starting place to read about .. also beneficial insects can be attracted via companion planting to control less desirable critters -as opposed chemical spraying etc.

luck.
