How to FILL Raised Garden Beds CHEAP and EASY
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I want to share how to fill a raised bed garden and save money. I have used this method for years in my garden and the results have been incredible. You will see in detail how I fill my raised beds, the results I have had with this technique, and a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
This idea comes from an old gardening technique called hugelkultur, where you fill the bottom of your beds with logs, sticks, leaves, and any organic matter that you have. You will save money because you will only need to fill the top 12 to 18 inches with quality soil and the rest will be filler. On top of your logs and sticks layer you can add native soil, compost, or old potting mix like I did. So never throw your old potting mix away, reuse your potting mix to fill the bottom of your raised bed garden.
Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

My wife and I this did this in our 3’ x 8’ horse troughs and recently removed the soil. Most of the logs we added 7 years ago were completely composted. 👍
Tuck is a tremendous creature ❤❤❤❤❤ He always does his due diligence!!
Thank you for the great tip about how to cheaply fill the deep bed. I appreciate all you do. Giving a heart and a virtual pet for Tuck. ❤
You and Tuck do a great job in the garden. He’s adorable ❤ Thank you for sharing your gardening knowledge, I’m learning so much.
I would say, as an older person, physical necessity, the knees and ability to control the water is why I’m going raised containers. There is only two of us so it isn’t like I need a huge garden space. This looks perfect.
Love the hard working little Tuck! ❤❤❤❤❤
If Tuck is happy, we’re happy! All the loves Tuck!💗
He has been eating healthy snacks his whole life! ❤❤❤❤❤
a year ago i started my very own garden cause of you, so far its going really good and its really easy to relate to you cause im also from jeresy thank you for making a bunch of videos to help alot of people garden and start their very own garden like me!
We live in northern MN and I gotta say, kind of envious of your growing season, but you know, that's just another victory to earn. Love ya Tuck!

I garden in Northeastern MN! Such a precious and short season! Best of luck this year!
Fantastic 🪴 - Raised beds are the go 💯 and I love 🧡 container pots + growing out directly some plants 🌱 into the garden too 🍈 🍇 🥒 🍆
My little chihuahua is 14 now, and she’s blind, but she’s happy and fairly healthy and so very loving! Tuck is so adorable! Yorkies have always been my “dream dog”….but I wouldn’t part with my baby for anything at this point! I wish Tuck great health and a long, long life! I think he’s doing so well because he eats so many veggies! My baby loves them too and she gets them daily! I can’t wait to have them fresh off the vine for her again!!! I’d love to have that tall raised bed, but my budget won’t permit it. But I can keep dreaming! ❤❤❤

Raised beds can be built from free recycled materials, so poor or not affordable is B.S. anyone willing to put a bit of research and elbow grease can do this without excuse’s . Where there is a will- there is a way ! Im terminally ill and disabled on a shoestring budget and have scrounged enough used pallets and other materials for free and a few dollars for fasteners. Seeds were free from university agricultural department, the dirt and compost I went into the forest and found beautiful black soil under and around oak trees that have many decades of leaves composted naturally. Don’t rob it all from one spot, but gather a bit from a large area and you’ll get free quality soil and won’t harm the surrounding environment plus you get free earthworms in the process. Just sift out any roots that you may gather up to keep from having noxious weeds

Only need 12" high. These tall ones are just easier on the back.
Tuck is the one boss that I wouldn't mind being micromanaged by. He's so adorable! ❤❤❤❤
Tuck is the best, I love seeing him. Thanks for the videos James. 😊❤❤❤
We Love you and Tuck !!!! I am cuddled up with a 19.5 year old cat that peed on me today. Caring for them in their last years is an opportunity to show them just how deep and pure our love is and has been. I believe that makes God chuckle and yell "yes, that was my point !"
Look at Tuck sitting like a wee emperor in the background.❤
Tuck seems to be your supervisor, you make your hands dirty and he just sits there to give you more orders. He is so sweet, TFS your great gardening tips:)
❤❤ Tuck and James are the best.
Doing a good job Tuck!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
…The bottom logs act as water batteries. I love that. 😁 Tuck looks great at 14 because he is a good weight and the organic vegetables are so nutritional for him. Hearts for James and Tuck. 🥰💙🐶💙🐾
The terracotta beds with the trellis in the middle are the beds I want to start with 🥰. Of course ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ for Tuck!
Go Tuck! And a big shout out to all our bad a** gardening buddies! My chiweenie of 13 years helps me dig/plant everything- he loves to garden! ❤️😂

We are putting rocks in the bottom of the bed with a layer of gravel on top of it to keep critters from digging up. We have plenty of old dead trees and will follow your advice for filling the bed. ❤️❤️❤️to Tuck.
💕💕💕💕💕💕love Tuck and your videos, James. I got one of your metal raised beds with your fertilizer. I can’t wait to get it read for growing.

Thank you for sharing so much needed information. ❤❤❤❤❤ for you and Tuck.
Love your channel, your content and Tuck. Always so informative. Thanks James.
Love the terra-cotta color!! So excited the see what you grow in them and on the trellis 😁 made my own bed this year with an old pallet and making an arch with some animal fencing. Hoping and saving to get one of the taller metal beds for my parents soon 🙏🏼
I certainly will do, never thought of doing this, saves money and good rich soil. It feeds the soil over time, slow release fertiliser. 4 th year of watching your videos 🎉
Awesome I wish him many more years of being the Boss and guardian of your beautiful garden. I am looking forward to seeing your new look. Producing plenty as usual. This is for Tuck❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great tips. Love Tuck!
I love you and Tuck's videos! You make it easy and clear and fun and do-able🎉❤
Thanks for the tips. God bless.
I have all my raised beds like this. I line the bottom with mesh cloth though. Detours moles, rats, and if you have gophers, would be a good idea. After setting the logs in I go trim my bushes and chop and drop them in there. Being it’s SO HOT down here in summer. That’s when I work on reamending the dirt. I have again chopped up shrubbery with the hedger. And then top it with chicken manure. And then the hot compost I’ve made. Because the soil does drop yearly. This method is great for SW Florida.
Great advice ❤❤
I have been eating my homegrown salad all week , its so delicious 🙏🤩🍓🍅🫶🏻hi tucker heres your hearts❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great presentation and wonderful sidekick, Tuck! I love gardening, and I love dogs!
