Hi, James 👋. I enjoyed your videos. Your raised beds look very thick and durable. It seems you have used extra parts to strengthen them. Let’s say if I want a 12L x 4W x 1H raised beds. Could you please give me the specifications? (eg, dimensions of each part, including the thickness). Besides the four sides, what else do I need? I’d like to walk into the local hardware store and just give them a full list of everything I need to build it. Thank you!

Slight correction: Sepp Holzer's farm is in the _Austrian_ Alpes. Such farms have extensive (but often poor grounds), at the elevation of the farm dairy was the major share of their income. Additionally they could grow barley, potatoes, cabbage (conventional old fashioned farming in that region at that elevation, his father was reluctant to adopt new things). His son took over the farm at a very young age, 20 years. His mother had a vegetable garden near the house for plants that need more warmth, but the area that they used for grazing and wood goes up much higher, no one before Holzer tried to grow fruits, have wild pigs, or create ponds with fish higher up. It is anything but ideal, but that was the land, soil, weather, and slope he had to work with, and he created microclimate zones where he could even grow kiwi (near the house) all kinds of cherries (they have ongoing harvest as the earlier and later varieties ripe at different heights) - in a region that is called the Siberia of Austria. Lots of rain in summer (it can get wet and cold) and short growing season and lots of snow in the winter. and they are lucky in that region if they have mediocre meadows. There is plenty of trees there (depends how high you are) so that is the abundant material they could work with to create a mound (Huegel) that would also be warmer than soil, and drain better and also catch and keep rain better. Rotting wood is like a sponge. Grass - if there was any - was kept for the cows. Actually the farmers in that region (but also in Switzerland, South of Germany) had their cows and goats on the high meadows in summer (it is like summer camp for cows, there were one or two herders in a cabin that were responsible for the lifestock of many families and milked them and made butter and cheese. They would be visited once or twice per week so the products could be carried down into the valley. There is a saying: what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Same for the Alpine meadows - the herders were young unmarried milkmaids in most cases (cheap labor) and rumor has it that they (or one they often were alone) got male visitors. Normally it was not that easy to have a romance or one night stand - but that was too remote and no nosy neighbours anywhere near. Grass closer to the farm (think 1 hour) was cut and dried. All manual labor and with skythes, often with steep slopes. They stored that hay that they made in remote ares in provisory wooden sheds and went for it in winter - then transporting it with sledges, which was easier. And if a shed would burn down (hay that is not perfectly dry can self ignite) they did not lose all the fodder. Plus time was precious in the short growing season but in winter they had more time for such chores, plus the transport then was much easier with a sledge. Hard times for sure.

Hi James. You should know that I am grateful for you and your channel. Because of your inspirational and instructive videos, I now have two, 10' x 4' x30" raised beds and seven 30 gallon trash containers. All total, I have108 sq. ft. surface area to grow food and flowers. Since March, I have harvested more vegetables than I ever had in my 57 years of gardening, total. As an online teacher this entire school year, getting outside in the fresh air and sunshine is more imperative than ever. While it has cost a great deal of physical labor for this 60 year old, I am grateful to still be able to create this with very little help. It's my beautiful refuge from electronic devices. Thank you, and Tuck. 👍😎👍

Love your videos James. As an Agronomist I would like to clarify one thing about plant survival, most of the gardeners pamper their plants a lot. As a matter of fact any plant has its own natural capability to stretch and insert its roots into any harder substances like hard soil or gravel or even rotting wood. So no need to worry about soil compaction, agronomically hard soil help the plant grow deeper and stronger roots which inturn makes plants healthier and Drought resistant. However when we have a choice to make our own soil it's not required to be worried of compaction. If we see any old abandoned houses we'll find plants and trees growing on concrete stretching their roots deep into the cemented structures. What I'm trying to say is never worry about the plant survival in terms of its physiological development...every plant has its own basic instincts and survival techniques. Thanks for the video.

I appreciate this comment so much. My husband and I have built about 14 raised beds. 4ft wide and about 2ft deep are longest bed is about 40ft. I have been so stressed about how and what to fill our beds with. The top soil we have out in kansas is mostly clay like. We have gone back and forth about getting several dump trucks delivered with a topsoil/compost mix-. This seems like the most effective way to fill the beds because of how large our beds are. But the compost matter isn’t great and the top soil is mostly clay. Our first bed we filled with wood/sticks - and realized we needed to do something to lighten up the clay like topsoil. So we spent a day or so mixing in peat moss and more compost. It’s finally getting to a consistency I like. Although in saying this, a couple years ago we had a friend make raised beds. Not sure what happened but all of her plants did not do well- the drainage was just terrible. She did not do her own mix and just brought in a dump truck of a garden bed mix from a big dirt n gravel place. Anywho- our friends ended up scratching their entire project because the beds were not draining right and the plants didn’t do well. We are finally at a place where we need to start filling our large beds- and I keep going back and forth with how to fill them! I do like the idea of making our own soil mix like here in the video. Although my husband says it will take so much time to do this because of the amount of soil we need brought it. Any thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated!!

@@jewlstime hi, to loosen the clay soil, adding river sand is the best option, and making it up nutrient rich add vermicompost. To naturally make the soil loose, then add earthworms into the beds may be a 1000 of worms in each bed, they naturally feed on the decaying matter and make the soil porous by burrowing channels in the soil. Hope I answered properly to your question. Happy Gardening

I use vermiculite rather than perlite. Perlite eventually floats to the top, where vermiculite stays put and absorbs and releases huge amounts of water. Great video!

I wish I would of known this before I bought a giant bag of perlite recently.

People in my neighborhood bag up their yard waste and leaves and put them on the side of the road. I use them to 1/2 to 2/3 fill up a large pot or a new raised bed. Then water well and compact well until you fill the space 1/2 to 2/3rds full!

I gather the newspaper and pizza boxes, over many weeks, cut in strips add to soil with horse manure leaves, sticks over winter! You can burn them to! Live in Florida, took one year using the above material AND WHITE SAND, and egg shells, coffee grounds! Turned into great soil

I made the mistake of using my native soil in the bottoms of my raised beds and found there was quack grass in it and it has grown up through everything and taken over my beds. Live and learn. I now put down cardboard and landscape cloth first then the beds. But I have to take out my first beds and start from scratch!

@@emmamemma4162 They are filled raised beds and I planned on taking that soil and fill in holes around the property. I don't mind the grass there since I can mow it and it doesn't crowd out my veges. I don't want it in the beds. It will be a lot of work but that is good for my soul. Oh I try to cover the rest of the garden with old carpets and cardboard so I don't have so many weeds to fight with.

I put up my first, 14 inch deep, bed. I filled the bottom third with pieces of a hedge I cut down. Saved some $ and didn't waste the hedge.

Just thought I'd share . . . I made a very large, raised veggie garden bed - 4ft wide, 20 ft long and 30 in high. I used very old wood logs to fill the bottom. The power company near my house has their used, old telephone poles available for free to the general public. But they cut them into 4 to 6 ft sections because they don't want anyone to use them as building material. It appears on most of the old power poles only the bottom 4 to 6 ft are covered in creosote. So I chose some of the top power pole pieces - the ones that seem to be 100 years or more older. They are very old, cracked, splitting, dry rotted, and almost act like sponges. Nobody wants those pieces so they just sit there in the pile year after year, rotting away. I believe they made a good bottom fill for my bed. Just a suggestion if you don't have other old, rotted wood to use as bottom fill.

How do you make the bed top? The plastic and tubing part. I get grasshoppers and need to cover the beds.

Make sure you only use this technique with ANNUALS. I made the mistake of doing something like this when money and time were tight and we couldn't get a load of soil when I needed it. We had half a load left from the year before so I added the spoiled hay and muck from the barn for the first foot or two and then topped it with soil. Then I planted the bare root berries (that couldn't wait any longer!) I knew it would decompose eventually, but by the end of the growing season, the soil level sunk over a foot. That would've been fine for vegetables or annual flowers, but...this spring meant lifting the berry bushes up and filling in a lot of soil. Lesson learned. The hard way.

I always double tab and loop the intro to hear "what's going on" more than once. Great video as always.

Good luck with the new raised beds! It is hard work and sometimes up-front costs can seem a lot, but when it lasts 10 years and you get outside and eat healthy vegetables, it is worth it!

Yes I can relate to the pain of having limitations. Both physical and $$. Most things take twice as long to do. Fortunately my 69 year old husband is stronger than most half his age.

After you put down the logs, put down dirt/buffer/whatever before the sticks. Then sticks with the buffer. Don't create air pockets. Your bed will drop less, but more importantly you won't create pockets for unwanted bugs. This is a common problem with hugel raised beds.

I used just sticks b4 and it's fine. This year I made 2-22' long beds and used some oak logs from winter trimming. I then packed a lot of smaller twigs and leaves, straw and compost. I have heard that people who live in states with termites that hugalkulture is not a good practice close to the house. I will say in the stick bed that I had a friendly garden snake nesting underneath. So to pack or not pack--I would pack. I don't need drainage we are super dry and sandy.

Great info for filling raised bed gardens & building the soil! Wish you were my neighbor & I enjoy Tuck in your videos!

James, I love your energy and it's a great motivator. Awesome Video. James, toss in a bag of Pine Bark Fines. Pine bark fines have more lignin (45%) than cellulose (25%) and tends to not tie up Nitrogen like wood chips and make a great soil amendment, don't break down too quickly, aid in aeration and proper drainage. Also, work in a 5 gallon bucket of Bio-Char to absorb and retain water and nutrients, and provide space for microbes to live. I hugelkultur in most of my raised beds, my main goal was not only to fill up the raised beds but for a self-fertilized garden with minimum irrigation. Bio-Char Quote From Proactive Agriculture: "Biochar's remarkable, huge internal surface areas boost soil Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) to retain positive ions like Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, etc. But biochar has Anion Exchange Capacity (AEC) to capture negative ions, beginning with Nitrogen and Phosphorus ( N-P of N-P-K ). Biochar improves water quality by increasing retention of nutrients for plant and crop use -- more nutrients stay in soil rather than leach into groundwater or outgas."

Whew I'm glad I'm not the only person that has done that! We had a layer of that, a layer of aged sawdust, a layer of sand for plants that needed looser soil plus some perlite a layer of aged manure and finally our soil and compost.we raked it through to the saw dust. My horse radish never slowed down,my Jerusalem artichokes popped up super quick. I really didn't have a clue as to what to put in.

Why plant on top of a concrete slab, James? I can understand limestone if the soil is acidic, but does concrete off-gas contaminants into the soil? Is there a university close by with a Horticulture Department? If you have some time, check out their library, or find a professor or graduate student to recommend books or articles. You might also t RC y a local 4H Club. As usual, you and Tusk are the best! You are on a life learning journey, young man.

I heard chickens in the backgroud, makes me miss my "old gals" from years ago.

I always wondered if you could put a garden over top of compost in the winter to grow plants in the cold

That raised bed is two feet above ground, making watering in mid summer a concern, and the brand new solid logs are at the same height as the wooden sides. in my own garden experiences, the wooden sides decompose faster than the logs at the bottom, and we've learned to mound the soil, saving the expense of holding the dirt back with wood at all. it works very well, as long as the garden beds aren't two feet tall~

So happy to have y'all back!

As far as the hugleculture, I have to do all my gardening, (and composting) in containers. My largest compost "pile" is in a brute barrel, so I have some sticks, and harder stuff in the bottom, and pile up on top. Soon, when it thaws out I will dump it out on my driveway, put the chunks back in the bottom, and continue again, but I will have some stuff to mix into my "garden" containers! The wood will eventually break down, so I may as well make use of it.

Hugelkultur is such a wonderful way to develop future soil and lessen the cost of filling raised beds. You are doing a fine job with your gardens and orchards. I commend you on your KZread presentations. You are a great teacher James.
