  • Have you looked at the update on the results of the planting in the Hoop House? I figured I would be thorough which kept my hoop house standing in 60mph winds last week here in Raleigh, NC versus simple where the whole thing would have been destroyed.

  • Holy crap! Nice bunker.

  • Costwisely not worth

  • Seeds are not usually going to germinate from over two feet down, so your landscape fabric, then cardboard, paper bags, and gravel was a waste of money. Just fill it with topsoil. Also, most peat, at least sphagnum peat is void of nutrients. However, the peat you are using may be different. Gotta get topsoil to mix with the peat. Should be mostly topsoil.

  • very nice,,,but the word "overkill" comes to mind . landscape material, then cardboard, then brown paper bags, then gravel, then black plastic??? i guess when you sliced your 1st home grown tomato is cost you about $75.00/lb......

  • Its lovely.. but I would have to rob a bank.. But you have a awesome raised bed garden!

  • That is quite a huge project done right the first time so it will last!

  • Nice but expensive.

  • I like that I did one in 2009. 2010 was my first year planting in it and I loved it. It gets u off the ground and ur dirt is not all compacted for u can use total garden soil and it has never been walked on. Mine is not as exact as urs but it works and I hope it will last for years to come. Great video looking for the next one.

  • I did not keep a running total of what it cost, sorry, but the most expensive part I would say is the soil mix. There is not much I would do differently. I am pretty frugal so I don't know where I would save any money doing it again. I am glad you like what I did. You are welcome to join our Yahoo group and view the thousands of pictures about all the projects that I have done in the garden. Do a search for hoop house gardener in the yahoo groups and come join us.

  • how much did the project cost? what was the most expensive part? what would you do differently if you were going to do it again? any places you could have saved money? i am very impressed by how professional your bed looks! really great job.
