Hi john. Nice program. What's the secret to getting a brick raised garden to not keep from falling over. I have 1 brick in the ground side ways. Then I put another brick flat on top it either falls off or is not level or has gaps between. I also have trouble. With my 6 brick a line. Herring bone pattern pathway can't get it to lay straight. Does anyone live close and can show me the secret. Right now it looks awful. And falls down all the time.

BASE, BASE, BASE is what I can say. Very important to have a stable, level base. I would make a base of gravel, then sand, then the bricks. (if stacking). You can also use motar to hold them together. They have special landscaping bricks made to make walls that are a bit more stable than normal bricks.

I was looking for a good juicer and I dont know what would be the best. could you tell me which one you used on a previous video you have.

[growingyourgreens]

I used an Omega VRT330 Juicer. I would reccomend that model or the Omega 8004 or 8006, for people that want to juice leafy greens.

The hog wire looks better than the concrete reinforced wire. I will need to look for a source where I live.

[growingyourgreens]

WAY BETTER. Stonger, Galvenized.. Also ALOT more expensive. 10x? the hog fence will not rust, and I can climb on it as a ladder..

Question on the rock dust: What ratio do you use when mixing with compost? (Sorry if I missed this on a previous video). I had to order it (couldn't find it locally) and I ended up paying more for the shipping than the bags! LOL. Oh well.

this bed is 2 feet x 15 feet long. On the dogs, feed them mashed up vegetable pulp from the juice, also fresh ground up coconut with some chicken mixxed in so it tastes good for them.
