Alternatively, depending on you climate or plant choices, honeysuckle, wisteria and other vine perennials can be trained to grow along the top end of the fence. Add butterfly bushes in the four corners. They are deer proof and easy to grow. Great project thus far. Will you be using a gravity fed drip irrigation system to hero plants moist and minimizing evaporation losses?

My experiences have made me completely reliant upon God. I see God's hand in everything. My Ex was abusive on all levels. God knew I would never leave him; so God made him leave me. It has been hard and difficult, on all levels, but I have learned so much. I learned a lot about the importance of healthy boundaries. I've learned to stick up for my daughter and myself. I also learned, if any person abuses you, they are unworthy of your love. I still get scared from time to time, but I get up every morning and care for my family and my chickens, and I work hard every day around my old home trying to fix the things that need repair. I hope and pray God blesses you for your kind and compassionate nature. People like you are a beacon of hope in a tired and over stressed world. May God's love be ever present in your life.

Wow nice I'm jealous. When building my raised beds with PT, I struggled with the fact that none of the PT was the same width. Not fun to rip this stuff on a lower powered TS. Perhaps Lowes is better than Home Depot in that regard. Each bed is the height of a seat so I can sit while weeding. I opted to have the bottom be the earth itself and put wire mesh on the bottom to keep burrowing critters from coming up from below. This also works well to allow earth worms to enter and leave as they'd like. In each garden, I partially bury a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled in it for my red wiggler worms. Dinner veg scraps, offcuts, and weeds go in there with layers of shreddings of paper bags or cardboard for bedding. Every spring I get an amazing "harvest" of worm castings to use in plantings. The worms aerate the soil around the tower. I also lined the inside of the bed with aquaponics plastic and wonder if that trapped heat and moisture. I think if I did it again, I'd try using a 1/4" drainage board material (like for siding rainscreen walls) and a layer of landscape fabric to separate it from the soil. The concept is similar to those fabric pots people love that causes the air pruning of roots. Good luck looks amazing. I desperately need fencing for the family of groundhogs living under my shed who eat for free.

Wow and Wow! This is an awesome design! I just put a simple wire fence up around some of my fruit trees to keep the deer and rabbit's out but this is a far better solution and looks so much nicer. Thank you so much for sharing this project.

I love your design, there's only one thing I have started doing differently after having a few different gardens at the different houses I've lived at over time and that's having a small 12"-18" perimeter bed all the way around 2" outside of the main raised beds. The main reason is to grow beans, peas, and squash (that climb) or grapes, kiwi, or hops up the sides of the fence all the way around. It just makes picking the climbing plants all that easier and maximizes use of the space instead of having to reach all the way over the outer beds to pick your peas/beans/grapes etc. Really slick design and it's beautiful! can't wait to see it grow

This is great, but I would've put the fencing on the outside of the frames so any animals can't push it in.

I think that she has it in between both boards, so it can't move either direction.

I beleieve her fencing wire is sandwiched. Should be safe

@@temujinkhan6326 She's in the garden bed, pulling, and he's stapling from the inside. Then when she's spraying (with a highly inefficient sprayer, btw) from the inside, she's definitely spraying the mesh on the inside.

What a very thought out garden. I love the huge doors, high fence and ease of accessing all planters. “April’s Whitetail Tease” is the name I thought of. They can only smell what they can’t have...

Brilliant solution on the garden beds with the metal siding!

How nice, to have a work space like that to create. I'm having a hard time enjoying your video, because I'm too busy trying to control my envy. 😔 Awesome job👍

"April's Showers" garden. Not cheap but well worth the cost and effort!

Wow. Extraordinary. Love this.

I am amazed by your work.

You should dress your planted beds with a couple inches of straw or mulch to retain moisture in your soil. The automatic watering system is nice but it’ll save water and create healthier soil with a biodegradable mulch. I’ve used paper bags, straw and commercial garden mulch.

I built a big garden like this for a lady, she told me the 10 foot fence I suggested was to big that 6 foot would keep her deer out. Depress to say I was back the next year making it 10 tall, I can tell ya I have seen deer stand beside a 6 foot fence and scale it from a dead stance. Call it..? the garden of eating.nice job on the design make sure to incorporate some kind of auto watering system.never fails some thing comes up and a watering for two are missed and all those hours are set way back . The deer did not help when they got inside the 6 foot fence, got there was in but acted like they could not jump out?.

Beautiful garden space

Nothing short of extraordinarily brilliant!

That is really cool, 'The Garden Walk' could be a name or possibly 'April's Walk'

Right away, I could see that the deer can still get the foliage from through the fence. If you put the fencing a little further out any tomato vines or anything full would still be safe

Your innovation and ambition is inspiring.

Major envy after watching this, your workshop is bigger than my house! Here's me excited about my medium vegepod and the fact I made a planter out of an old pallet. Life goals right there!
