How to make an Organic spring VEGETABLE GARDEN Southern California build plot tomato squash cucumber

Howdy! Here's how I made a nice, productive garden in my backyard in southern California. I show how I built the bed using compost, organic soil, hay, gypsum, and bloodmeal and how I grew tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, and red peppers.

looks good! Last year for my shades, I took some pvc pipe and made arches with it all along my beds. Then I draped my shade cloth over the arches and secured them using zip ties. It worked great and looked nice too. Almost like a hoop house. Oh yeah I pounded some stakes into the ground to support the pvc pipe.

nice :-) if you use star pickets (im in Australia thats what those metal posts with the three edges are called here) into the ground and then place heavy duty black pipe (the think still bendy type)over the top of the picket on one side and then the otherside for a few pairs to make a little tunnel then you can attach shade cloth to the top. hope that helps :-)

That was an awesome video! your style really suits me... assumes at lease some knowledge of how things work to cover more in the same amount of time, and communicate with 'thoasands of words" by using fanstastic pictures :)

Great video. That looks like you've made a very rich soil there. You'll probably reap the benefit of that soil for a long time.
