wow you seem to plant quite a number of pak choy. You can be very fluent in mandarin language. Nice tips on gardening, wish I could someday plant more like your garden with your new garden raise bed. Thanks

Did the copper work on keeping slugs out? I tried beer traps and killed over 60 slugs in one day! And that wasn't near enough! I live in WA and they are extremely prolific here... I had to resort to organic slug bate. Hated to do even that, but they demolished my crops if I didn't. Even tried salt borders, egg shells.... you name it. Never heard of Copper...

what do u do with all those vegetables? i doubt u eat all of it
-
being that copper is sooooooo expensive, is there anything that I could use instead of it to ward off the evil slugs?
-
just a thought...if you were 2 place the copper on top of ur caps ,it wood prevent moisture from deteriorating the wood./ probably a good idea to hide it in the front garden from possible scrappers but in the back it could really enhance the aesthetic appearance especially when it ages.

@growingyourgreens I've been using creekbed bottom soil, very rich. Works well in the shallow beds, but I like the taller beds...makes so much more sense and I'm sure my back will thank me. The 'native' soil here is red clay. Lovely. Not. At least my pine trees like it. I'll have to check in to the rock dust. Thanks.
Likes all your videos. Do you grow cherimoya?

No, it will not "easily" grow here.

Do you put anything in the bottom of the raised beds for drainage?
Mine are pine and about a foot deep...so of course no need for drainage. The pine (untreated of course) is really taking a beating. The cedar makes so much more sense.
Thanks. =)

the beds are filled with 100% compost and rock dust. The finished compost provides good drainage, unlike the soil below it (Adobe) is the prevalant soil in this area.

This is great stuff, bro. What does your back yard look like?

There are a few videos showing my backyard. The highlight is basically two greenhouses that take significant amount of space, and some storage sheds. That is the next project to get that dialed in. It is all planted around the edges.
