  • Just a heads up y'all...if you actually intend to EAT the plants you grow in those squares, make sure your wood is not CHEMICALLY TREATED and NEVER use VINAL or PLASTIC as shown in this video!!!

  • why do you chop your videos into such short segments? Very annoying listen to the introduction every couple of minutes...make 10 minutes segments please

  • Sorry! I have, to agree, I have watch many expert village videos over several years.......PLEASE! .....make them longer...I can not search for the second part or the fifth part of these video!!! GOSH!!!

  • The wood looks like it maybe pressure treated? If that's true, wouldn't the chemicals seep into the food?

  • You should probably research SFG prior to making a video of it. Expert Village must be desperate!

  • The whole idea behind SFG is that its made out of a specially light soil, meaning you don't have to use heavy tools to turn it over because you only have to turn over 1 square at a time. Because of the way it drains, it also doesn't flood and it holds water longer than regular soil. You deal with one square at a time instead of working yourself to exhaustion on a whole row.

    This is a great way to keep gardening as you get older and cannot easily do so much work.

  • Thats the first time I've seen her do some manual work; It was a shit idea anyway!

  • I don't know what the correct response is to this. I think the idea is to control every element. If you are open to the ground, you are open to viruses, etc, that might be present, I guess. But I would like to hear the official reason also.

  • I am new to sf gardening. Why even have anything on the bottom of the bed? For mine i have dug as deep as possible into the ground and mixed mels mix with the indiginous soil. I want my roots to go deep and the original soil performed well last season. I know it isnt pure sf gardening.

  • Expert village videos are always so short and choppy
