Nice gardening area! I realize that not everyone has chickens... BUT, if you do, or have a friend who does... you can put a chicken tractor over or near your garden plot and allow the chickens to scratch up the soil, they remove all greenery and fertilize the soil. When they have everything worked over, you can then move them to another location and begin your final garden prep and planting. Chicken tractors are even being used in cities like Boston! Check out Garden Girl TV for an example.

Great job. Lots of good info that I can use. I plan to start my raised box garden in the Spring. Again, thanks for the excellent video.

Lots of talk about the treated wood... but what about your plan to use run off water from the roof? If you have asphalt shingles I would think the run off would contain chemicals from that. Maybe better to get a couple of old bathtubs and put them down by the garden to collect rainwater.

@MrKanataMan OK ,that's good.Now ,don't forget that when you go to church and the priest feeds you all kind of science-fiction stories.
