    Maybe do a Cold Frame this winter? You do have a green house, but you could definitely garden more in the winter! A lot of Kales and Cabbages can survive deep frosts, and since you are very south and on the west coast, it could work.

    Great tips! Just a note on the in-bed Compost bucket. Make sure you cut the bottom off before you bury it. It's not needed and helps with moisture retention and allows easy access for the worms. I also highly recommend them, the peppers I have next to my worm bin are twice as big and are much healthier than the peppers planted at the same time away from it.

    @@gsmithmoore9570 Actually, if you go to a landscape shop, they sell these "utility boxes" for sprinkler valves that are basically boxes with a lid on top and without bottoms. You could probably get those instead of a bucket. They're probably more expensive than a bucket, but they're also designed to be buried in the ground.

    Could you do a video comparing no-till and raised garden beds? I am on the no-till pathway with 15 yards of compost getting delivered in the next two weeks. I understand a fair amount about what makes no-till chemically different from a raised bed. I have no understanding how this translates into results in reality. I imagine I am not the only one lacking complete clarity in this regard. Keep up the great work Kevin! I don't think we remind you enough how inspirational it is for the new gardener.

    Kevin, thanks for the great deal on the Birdies Beds. I bought 3 of the Tall 8-in-1 beds and got 1 FREE (a savings of $300)! I thought that was so great I decided to go back and get 3 of the Originals. I was sad to see that it took my $300 savings from the tall bed and now gave me 2 of the Originals for free. It was still a $300 dollar savings but if I had gotten 1 of each style for free it would have been a $450 savings. Because of that I decided not to get the Originals. I know it’s just business but Epic could have made another $450 in sales if it was “buy 3 and get the 4th (of that style) for free” then if someone wanted to go down in size make that an option. Thanks again for a great Sale but maybe tweak it a little next time.
