Great vid man!!!! I'm lookin' forward to seeing how your garden ends up. It's definitely inspiring stuff on my own road toward planting. Thanks for putting this together!!

I think you should look into square foot garden. It's much easier to take care of, more product for less space, and less water needed.

Awesome. I could see the tree shade so I was wondering about the sunlight too...
put mulch on top, to retain moisture under the ground.
...also, invest in drip irrigation
also, ...spend more time watching the growth..that way the bigger pests will know you're there, and will likely stay away...
Some of your neighbors might have tall trees and pests may drop down to your garden, just another thought...
...and finally, the true benefit is the delicious veggies

Awesome, I'm glad you made progress with yours! This garden has died and we're already planning a new one in the same place but definitely less crowded.
you are really doing most of it right
but try cowmanure it might be grose to you but i really dont mind it and it is a slow relese fertilizer and will last the entire year

I'll try that and I'm not a fan of cow manure but maybe I'll try that too.

Okay i know your not a pro neither am i. But i have some advice for you. Since u have the tomato plants bought from the nursery, it woulda be better to pinch off alot of the bottom branched and only leaving the ones at the very top. This creates a strong root system=more water get to the plant=more nutrient=tomatoes wont become victim of diseases. Anyway nice garden and u enver shown us the finished product. Good Luck

Thanks Chris,
That sounds like it'll work. We're planning a new garden in the same spot and I'll definitely try that there. Sorry about not posting the finished product, I ran out of time and was too busy. The bell peppers, tomatoes, & chili's did really well the rest kind of grew small than died out. It was just too packed as I new it would be but it was a lesson nonetheless.

does the wall dicourage sun at all? and i love your concept of making diet's history. it won't... but at least people can stumble upon this as well! let's make the government go green!

The wall doesn't discourage the sun as the sun directly lights up the garden for the better part of the day. The problem was that the left side of the garden was overshadowed by our orange tree and those plants under it didn't do too well.
