@jamesprigioni Won't the rotting logs offer an ideal place for a termite colony? I'm setting up my raised beds next to the storage building and home. One thing they like is cellulose/ wood and the other is moisture.

Love the cover on your high raised bed. I have something, probably raccoons, that raid my garden at night, munching up the new seedlings and even digging up seeds. So frustrating! A cover like that would be perfect. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck, and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

We have a raised bed that we put bales of straw in the bottom. It has been there at least 29 years, the outside wood (landscape timber cut and put in vertically) have started rotting out, but the bed itself is still intact and is a very productive.

Honestly that sounds even better than logs or wood chips.

Make positively sure the straw does NOT have herbicides sprayed on it. It will ruin a bed.

@@MsCindyh If you get a contaminated bed, you'll have to grow only monocotyledons like corn and onions for years. And brassicas seem to be relatively resistant. Tomatoes and beans are really sensitive to persistent herbicides. By the way, alfalfa hay should be safe, but I don't know how it would do in raised beds. I would think it would get very hot fast.

Straw is not hay. Straw hasn’t nutritional value and isn’t feed to animals. Alfalfa is hay feed to cows and horses and other livestock.

Im a new gardener and in a rented apartment, but I have space for a raised bed and Im trying it this year for the first time!

I love how you call Tuck the young King . ❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤ Big hearts for Tuck from Northern Ireland! I had a Yorkshire terrier called Scruff for 13 years and he was my best friend in the world. Tuck reminds me of him, what a gentleman ❤

Loved the spot on the Millennial Gardener channel. You both have something in common, you both love your pooches!❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ these hearts and more for the young king boss Tuck!!! You are loved by many❤❤❤❤❤. I appreciate you James for sharing your knowledge.

❤❤❤❤❤ My Molly, who's also a Yorkie, loves Tuck! She always barks when she sees him on the screen. And later, when I say, "Wheres Tuck?," she's barking again. Thank you for sharing him with us! Thank you also for sharing your awesome knowledge! Long live the King! ❤❤❤❤❤

Tuck is looking handsome with his new haircut ❤❤❤

I have two of those covers for my beds. If you have a herd of 19 deer that walk right through your yard every evening, these will SAVE your garden. I will get more next year for sure!!

Tuck has given me the idea of trying raw vegetables to my dogs. So far they all like carrots., sweet potatoes(which they stole before I got the groceries put away) and white potatoes. Only one likes cucumbers..Thanks Tuck for the wonderful idea.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

THANK U A MILLION TIMES!!! I just got a 6ftx3ftx1ft corrugated metal raised bed system, AND I got a FREE windfall of hardwood woodchips from road crew that was working on my road - delivered FREE OF CHARGE! They were more than happy to not haul off to county yard!! So, I wondered if I could use those wood chips to save $$$ on filling this raised bed up and VOILA! There u are with another great video showing how to do it. My love to Tuck and keep growing strong u 2!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you, Tuck and James .

I do leaves (ideally semi rotted) and twigs and small debris to fill the bottom half of all my pots even on seedlings. Prevents soil from leaking out. The roots grow easily all through the moist organic material. Additionally i notice ecosystems of decomposers from bugs as big as earwigs and roly polys down to the tiny hard to see ones. They live in the pot and presumably feeding the soil.

Been watching you for a minute James! My wife and I are in the process of buying our first home in WA - zone 8. I can’t wait to start planning for our own food forest!

❤ Tuck is such a good gardener. 😊 My son and I just got a big raised bed set up and placed yesterday afternoon. The bottom is filled with branches and logs from a tree that fell during the ice storm. I've got to get the soil in, but that's going to take several trips to the garden center. 🌻🌷🪻 Soon, food!!

I did this last week and was worried if I was making a mistake. Thank you for your expertise, I feel better now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to you both!

I love your videos. You are a blessing. Thank you!❤

I've also used newspaper bundles for core gardening, since those are more readily available than used straw bales. We'd been leaving them out for paper recycle for years, and it never occurred to me to bury them in the garden to raise the soil levels. They hold on to water pretty well. I tie them up with sisal twine, and douse them with nitrogen fertilizer before covering them up. Also, if you want your woodchips to break down super fast, consider growing wine cap mushrooms. Along with the native fungi, they ate through my woodchips in less than a year.

You are SOOOO smart!

Fantastic ideas ❣️🪴

I always love seeing the bossman keepin' track of things in the garden...💞💕💙💚💛🧡❤💖💗💞 Tuck! I'm intrigued by the idea of woodchips in the bottom of a raised bed, as I have a big pile of them from past tree trimmings, and have been pondering how to use them. I may try this, in another year or so. Thanks James. I also watched your interview with Mr. Milennial Gardener, and great interview!

❤❤❤❤❤good job Tuck ❤❤❤❤❤

if i may suggest: if you have time, and fresh woodchips, you can "compost in place" by heaping up wood chips (and you can also add alfalfa pellets if you like) and just water it occasionally. it will sink down a LOT, and then you can top it up with your raised bed soil

@elisabetk2595

Ай бұрын

Oh yeah, we use alfalfa pellets to "cook down" leaves. Lately we've been using buckets of used coffee grounds we get from a local coffee shop instead. I'd like to try those on wood chips, hmmm.

I really enjoy your videos! I have been gardening for close to 45 years and I still learn new things from you. Thank you! Keep up the great work!

Good tip about the worms. I have some bedding from my animals I wondered if I could put in my beds. It pretty much broken down and filled with earth worms so I think I’m good to go 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the advice. I used decomposed wood chips two years ago, but should have allowed more time for decomposition. Also used end-of-season straw initially prepped with fertilizer for my experiment in straw-bale gardening. I think I preferred the straw to the wood chips, but my supply was limited. Many hearts to Tuck. Also liked seeing azomite as a component in your fertilizer. Happy growing.

everyone loves Tucker! I only watch to see him. ❤

Logs are the worst. Your new lasagna method looks pretty good. If i was doing one of those i'd consider running a 4" sock pipe across the bottom and 90 it up. The oxygen will aerate from the bottom and can provide a way to deep water so your plants develop deep roots. peace

@cherylhaywood5139

Ай бұрын

Please, what is a sock pipe?? Do you mean to run it across the entire bottom of the planter and at the far end 90 degree it to the surface?

I filled in a pond (12x12x4) with wood chips because it was all I had. I filled in some dirt on one side about 10 inches deep and am growing flowers there just to see the result. We haver very hot dry summers si I'm curious how this will all work out. I'm planning on planting succulents on the the other side. It's a fun experiment.

LOVE TUCK!! Thank you. I just did this today lol

Jerzee James & Tuck, love your new product line,! When my wooden beds need replacement I'll order some metal ones! I have two birdies with the Tuck code! Little Tuck looks sad sitting next to that huge raised bed, he's like.... How am I gonna help myself to veggies! ❤😂❤🐾🐾❤️

Hi James! I just watched your interview with the The Millennial Gardener and really enjoyed seeing your garden "backstage". You have really inspired me to start gardening with things like how to set up raised beds. I have also gotten a glass house for my tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The thing that I noticed about where you grow your tomatoes is that you grow them out in the open. I have always heard that tomatoes need to be protected from rain by putting them underneath a roof (ie glass house or tomato tent). Do you find that water from rain doesn't really hurt them when they are planted outside without protection. Thanks for all that you do and the inspiration that you have given me through your videos. Hello to Tuck! ❤❤

King Tuck! ❤❤❤ Great video! I wish I could get a truckload of wood chips but I haven't been able to find them in NW Arizona. We bought a small wood chipper that will help.
