the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

This is the build video for me! That’s all the tools and materials I have, plus I love playing with fire!

HATS OFF! YOU MADE IT LOOK AMAZINGLY EASY! WISH YOU WERE MY NEIGHBOR!

Cool build. I would recommend a few things to new growers tho. Since that's so tall bury some big logs in the bottom, some sticks will be okay too but big logs will build up the soil over a long time. Really stimulates fungi and microbes. Second I would have also mixed some peat moss or coco in there with the top soil and compost, helps with moisture retention. And possibly some perlite which helps with drainage and compaction. With this mix your garden will be good the first year, but amazing subsequent years as the soil gets more loaded with fungi, microbes, worms. Also mulch it, the mulch will help regulate the moisture levels, keep the sun from harming the plants in the hot summer, and keep soil from splashing on plants when raining which can cause disease.

Soil on plants is something I’ve totally underestimated as a gardener. Thanks for that input

I would also would have cut away the grass by the fence. Would have taken out and maybe added rock or something so that area didn’t have growth and be a problem

@@patrogers8912 I did as well, but in the fall I shred up a bunch of leaves with a weedwacker, did maybe 3-4 inch mulch with it, so I don't get that splash and have way less disease. The worms really like it too, if I dig a hole for a plant I'm always finding a ton of worms. I guess one note is I hear slugs like leaf or wood mulch, so I use a little correys snail bait here and there and I haven't had a slug problem.

@@vypersportsLLC I’m still trying to decide what to put on the ground between my boxes for my next home. Previously I had weed barrier down with recycled rubber 16” tiles from Menards. But I’m questioning if that’s leeching chemicals into the yard. The problem I see with rocks is I’m messy. Over time dirt from the garden beds when I’m adding more, or harvesting, gets in the rocks and weeds start growing even in the littlest bit of dirt that spills over the rocks. Over time it’s gonna be a mess. I need to think on it!

You’re literally living in my head I’m going to be closing on a home in a few weeks and every single thing KZread algorithm suggest from your channel is something I need it’s kind of scary but a blessing at the same time awesome contact man keep it up

More drill and circular saw videos! This is what most people are looking for! Basic tools but great builds! Great job!

Strawberries are always great. Lots of fond memories picking them in my grandma’s backyard. And low mx

I’m just seeing this and you made it look so easy! I’m not allowed to use saws though, so hopefully I can get someone to make a couple of 4x4 ones. Very nice!

Dude thanks for this video! I am heading to lowe’s right now to build one! My wife would be very happy for sure😜

This is one of the best channels ever!

Just ran into your channel, its going to be invaluable as a new homeowner that doesn't mind rolling their sleeves up. I love your attitude and energy, thank you for bringing it into my life!

You are AWESOME! You always have a great attitude with clear explanation of what you do, the tools and brands, too. Wow - such an inspiration, thank you.

Bravo! Make a few more for this spring to expand!

You are a most engaging, enthusiastic & endearingly WATCHABLE host. I can not bear to watch MANY videos to the end, given that the voice, insincerity/lack of genuine excitement & astounding LACK of personality makes them...unwatchable. I ALSO like that you do not edit out what some others might deem "mistakes" a fact I find ENCOURAGING, as a neophyte or an expert, I STILL make mistakes & I love that you employ a genuine sense of humour & happily soldier on. The inclusion of such humour makes this video FAR MORE engaging than had you removed every honest reaction: I LAUGHED and LEARNED and am MOTIVATED to recreate YOUR DESIGN for myself. Precise build INFORMATION matters me to, and you deliver this with infectious enthusiasm AND your design is well thought out for STRENGTH, AESTHIC APPEAL (some raised beds are eyesores, others far too "flimsy" to withstand perching on the edge, whilst your adaptation is both elegant and STURDY. Kudos.) eminently FUNTIONAL: sturdy enough to withstand actual USE. One needs, as one levels up in XP, raised beds one can WORK, and short beds would be PAINFUL for me to even ATTEMPT planting/maintaining/harvesting. MY TIME is my most valued ASSET, and I am LOATHE to waste TIME or MONEY on something too ugly to bear...beauty makes me feel happy and this is the most beautiful (yet reasonably priced as compared to solid wood construction) raised bed I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Nice build mate. 👍🏾 First time gardener, I recommend herbs for your first grow season. Then when you don't kill them, come the second season try your hand at root vegetables. 😉

Thanks, that was easy enough to make and looks great too. I didn't know that burning the wood helps it last longer outside. The cardboard is a good idea too.

The courage you give at the end of the videos is amazing. Keep up the good work 👌

A VERY nice looking and well built raised bed you have made there sir. If I could offer some tips on amendments for improving the soil though I'd say; 1. Landscaping fabric or tarp for weeds 2. Logs on the bottom for filler 3. Perlite or gypsum for less soil compaction 4. Peat or coco coir for moisture retention 5. Slow release fertilizer for when the compost gets used up in 3 months. Besides that, this looks terrific and I think you'll get an alright 1st season out of it. thanks for the video man, keep gardening!

You can add some pots along the side (and pull water in from your system) to add more veggies. I.e. container garden. (Or even flowers to attract bees for pollination and for color and beauty).

Hi from Belgium. Nice project

Favorites channel hands down!!

Lov the wood and metal combo, plus quick and easy diy build. Thanks

alway fun, thanks for sharing your projects... hope everything's fine with the new born, your wife, kids and family

Burns-o-matic.... love it. Ever try screening on the bottom to prevent moles, gophers? Landscape fabric layer for a weed barrier? Cardboard draws pests in our climate. Also, check the safety of materials touching the soil/roots to be sure it is food safe since you'll likely plan on eating what you grow. Nice design 👍🏻

This is such an effective beginner-friendly tutorial! Thank you :).

Good job nice video. I think I’m gonna incorporate that watering trick into my build. ❤️‍🔥GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Basil has always been an easy grower for me, and you can make some homemade pesto! A nice herb to throw into any extra gaps you might have!

LOVE seeing your boys in the videos!

Love your positive can do attitude and your courage/sweat motto!!!I subscribed just for that! Need more hard working and inspirational people in my life. Keep up the awesome work!

Great video! Very informative and easy to do. I know this company called LifeSpace Gardens that also have a self-watering DIY kit for vegetable gardens, I bought a really cool garden from them and the finish they have is similar to this one you teach to build. Thanks again for teaching this!

Great video, and I never thought to use a speed square as a guide for the circular saw, that's very helpful!! Thank you!!

Good Job , You are so Smart Daddy , Good Father You give a good lesson to your son , I am thinking your Wife Love You So much , Thank You we learned from you this one I wish my Husband will do it for me , Happy Family to you. Love all

This channel has inspired so much as a small KZreadr, you doing great

Definitely some chive! Amazing on sandwiches and potatoes and salads ☺️

you make me want to build stuff. I think im gonna do this project for my mom. Thanks

Awesome video man keep up the great work. Only 20 years old but trying to get where you are in the future

Mr. Build is all about family. I watch with the kids and wife. Gotta plant some Jalapenos several types of them. Cucumbers will strangle your other plants.

The dance moves are back, awesome!!! Great video!

Great talker, clear and fast.

Im always soo exited when i see ur videos pop up in my subscriptions

Absolutely love this channel!

Awesome content. I really like this project. It provides homeowners with a very versatile, inexpensive, and flexible method of creating a good sized raised-bed planter. You can fancy up the joinery depending on your level of tools, technique, and temperament. The Yakisugi method of wood preservation was one I wasn't familiar with. I'm not sure I'd use it personally, as I prefer the look of naturally-aged (albeit chemically and mechanically preserved) timber. But big ups for you and Bernzomatic (your sponsor) for introducing us to the technique. Another tool to file away. Also thanks to the many comments suggesting alternatives, depending on your climate, use, budget, and objectives. Last note: Loved to see your son participating in the project. Watching sons and daughters working with their moms and dads is, IMHO, one of the most gratifying parts of this sort of material. Those little people are the future of our planet and society, and seeing them working with their parents on DIY stuff like this makes my heart glow with love and hope.

When I was younger we were kinda poor. My dad made mine and my brothers beds living room tables and a shelf for my mom to put things on she collected .. Thx for the videos. Man

Love it! I am so glad you did this project. It came out awesome. Raised beds are so expensive. The only thing I would of liked to see was the amount you spent to build it to compare savings of building your own versus buying one. Again, awesome!

Strawberry's are the best👌

Great project. Like how the beard fluffing in! I think I might have put some five gallon buckets or something like that, upside down in the bottom to reduce the amount of dirt required. Simple, easy, great!

This is really cool, love the videos man. Take care and stay safe ❤

Next bed, you can use cut logs or trees to partially fill bottom so you don't need so much dirt. They will break down over time and add to nutrients in soil.

German mound gardening = Hugelkulter. Mark from Self Sufficient Me practises this method and he even has a video where he shows how it ( his raised bed using the Hugelkulter method ) broke down over a four year period in his backyard. Interesting facts.

Absolutely gorgeous... In aboiut 2 weeks we will see if I can follow instructions

Great idea! Looks great!

Looks great will have to try this out !

Yay. My favourite builder

Line it with plastic, then fill it half way with stone. Then put down weed barrier and put your soil in with a pipe you can use to put water in if needed. Put a drainage pipe at the bottom of your soil layer for overflow when the stone layer is full of water. Then the plants self water as needed as long as the stone layer is full of water.

Great job.

Man the area you live in looks amazing!

This is awesome! Thank you man!

Been waiting for this one for the wife!✊🏽

That is a nice piece.

At least it didn’t rain when you went to the home improvement store.

Thanx brother

Can you do a video on how to make a Murphy Bed?! That would be awesome to watch! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, expertise and skills.

Thanks for the advice on building this, like to incorporate your method to a fire pit table w/ a small twist.

Nice job! When using the speed square with the circ saw, I have found it easier to put the speed square lip on the far side of the board, pulling it toward you with your left hand as you push the saw through the cut with your right hand. That balances out the forces and the board won’t want to walk away from you quite as much. Hope this helps!

nice made man! I think i will make it different just becasue i dont have much energy to work with. But this was nice and inspiring to see, great work!

Would definitely recommend romaine lettuce, easy to grow. Also radish, the breakfast radishes are good 👌🏾. Both great for beginning gardeners.

Very lovely kids

Nice. Thanks! Gonna make a few. 😂Sorry but have to mention I got a good laugh at the part where you going on about how hot it is while wearing a shirt that says: "Embrace the Suck".

Very nice

We placed cardboard over our grass and made sure there was plenty of overlap. Saved my back and it works. Only problem I noticed is the grass around the garden bed tends to worm its way inside but i just pull it out by hand and since the dirt is fairly lofty its pretty easy.

Oh, whenever I have a chance, mostly before winter, I pour “blended” organic left overs from my kitchen in my hop-house. I don’t have a compost asIde. This method has work very well already for 6 years for me. 👍🏻

👍 bro ..tq for it.

Now you need a few more 😁

Awesome

great video!!!!!

Cilantro, basil, are great herb. Tomatoes 🍅 grow well. Mint, lemon balm and oregano spread like weeds.

watch out for root requirements... this year I’m doing potatoes in grow bags because the roots (and potatoes) get in the way of my tomato plants in a raised bed. Also, bonus: it’s a LOT easier to find potatoes when all you have to do is dump out a grow bag. 😁

Been waiting for you to make one of these :D

You need an easy-up shade structure! Life changing!

style furniture plan sideboard

Tomatoes and Peppers are two pretty easy starter garden plants. You will need some kind of trellis for your tomatoes, you can probably plant 2-3 plants in the back, and maybe 4 or so peppers in front. You've done a lot of great indoor projects, it's nice to see more outdoor projects. A yard tour might be nice sometime.

Nice 👍

Enjoyed the video...How about a series for building a home gym?

For those that don’t have convenient access to a sprinkler system to make this work, you could make this a self watering/wicking bed by lining the bottom with a pond liner and filling the first 1/4 or more with drainage piping to hold water. Add a fill pipe in a corner so you can run a hose or many watering cans to periodically refill the reservoir when it runs dry. Cover piping and fill the voids with a layer of lava rocks or organic expanded clay pebbles, put down shade cloth to help keep out the dirt and help with the wicking/capillary action then top that with your top soil/gardening mix. This method would also reduce the amount of soil needed to fill the bed. Depending on your geographical location this planter might be able to last several weeks before needing to be refilled with water.

Thanks for a project requiring only basic tools.

Easy to grow plants like tomatoes, basil, cilantro, onions. Depending on your season length you might want to stick to short season things (under 55 days until maturity) because it’s almost August. Some places also carry plants that are closer to harvest, Bonnie Plants just recently started those.

Tomatos and peppers work great.

Awesome job, really like the simple but functional design! Turned out great!

Lovin' that "exterior core" @ 7:15

I'm sure some or all of this has been said. The sod works as fertilizer if left in the bed. 1/2" hardware cloth on the bottom to keep the miles and voles out. Firewood/logs in the bottom, then a mix of manure, top soil, compost, biochar, sea-90, or other mineral additive like organic chicken feathers, all tilled/mixed together. Put it in layers with raw sugary produce in different areas like apple halves, mellon's. These add extra immediate food for red worms. 1 pound of red worms if you don't have any or wait till it rains and go pick them off the sidewalk and put a hundred or so in your bed. Love the watering system. A heave coating of baking soda around the base should keep the weeds away. Buy in bulk at a farm supply. Plantain makes a good ground cover and is edible. Clover also and puts nitrogen back in the soil.but then again so do other legumes like peas and beans. Try companion planting. Your food will taste better. Foods that go together just check your seasoning jar or your favorite sauce. Tomatoes, onions, garlic, oregano, basil and the like. Beneficial nematodes and milky spore is also a good idea to keep pests away. The cardboard weed barrier is great and attracts worms. You can add grass clippings or wood chips to the top throughout the season for a better looking garden that holds in moisture better. Late planting will keep certain pests away. Have a blessed garden.

Nice!!!

i do two plantings in my beds. spring - cool crops - lettuce, kale, chard, peas (in back and trellised so they can be high and a backdrop) and beets, then summer - warm crops - tomatoes (cherry!), tomatillos (love green sauce!), onions, cukes, beans (kentucky blue wonder - crunchiest green bean period - and you can re-use your trellis in back for beans and cukes) and maybe some herbs like basil or dill. key is to plant your new crops while a few others are still in the ground so that you feed the micro creatures keeping your soil healthy (gotta have some red wiggler worms down there!). Good luck!!!

So cool! I actually just made my own garden box. LMK how I did 😬

u are a badass!! I am gonna attempt this
