Those raised beds look fantastic! I love the contrast of the stained and burnt cedar timber! It's great that your entire family is interested in gardening!

I love the pace of your uploads. They are always a welcome surprise. Also in a KZread landscape of loud people and weekly uploads. This sort of video is very calming. I find many KZreadrs of niche things. Can only sustain weekly content for a while before it becomes repetitive or trend-seeking. You mentioned you wanted to do more interview and tour content of other Abandoned houses in Japan. Your welcome to do that, but these kinds of odd jobs around the house are my fave. The addition of the burning wood made it extra interesting.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. These kinds of videos will always be my core content. I do want to do the occasional visit, though I haven't done one in quite a while! 😁

Keep up the great work, I love sitting back and watching your videos whenever they come up

The one thing i hate and also like about firewood is that the work is never done! Keeps you busy and also makes you warm its very satisfying. Nice job on the beds man.

Heating with wood is the best. Each log should keep you warm 3 times. Once when you cut it down. Once when you split it, and once when you burn it.

We watched it on the app. It was nice to see you there but they didn’t do all of your hard work enough justice in my opinion!

I've been on KZread since its inception. I've subscribed to probably a couple of hundred channels over the years and watched 50 000+ clips (give or take). That said, your channel is one of the best our there. I'm always looking forward to you releasing new content. Always pure quality and wholesomeness. Anyways, keep up the good work. You deserve a 1 M subscribers. /BR

Ай бұрын

While there are venomous snakes here, most are not, but I am always mindful of them, coming from Australia!

The black burned wood with the osmo tops made it a beautiful sight. Home grown food is delicious. Hugelkulture is an excellent way to take care of that rain that can flood the place easily while making healthy soil, never expected it to be used by an Aussie living in Japan though 😉

@TokyoLlama

Ай бұрын

Thanks! We’ll certainly get plenty of rain over wet season and summer!

The beds look great. I have built similar things to these in this way, but found they tend to come apart at the corners over time. To resolve that I now use a lap joint at the corners, drill a hole down through all the posts at the joint, and drive a coated 3/8's rebar through them all and into the ground. Keeps them from shifting and the corners tight. 🙂

@TokyoLlama

Thanks for that. I hadn't thought about the shifting possibility. Might need to do as you've suggested for future ones.

The trim color looks amazing against the blackened wood!!! Those raised beds sure do wonders with the front yard too. It's good that you're not letting all of that dead wood go to waste at all. Keep it up, you're doing a great job!!!

The stag beetle larvae were fascinating. As a North American I giggled to myself when I saw the blue berry bush and wondered if you are trying to attract bears. 😂 I don't think that there are many, if any in that part of Ibaraki. The OSMO looked really great on the light colored wood.

The German came out of nowhere, especially the one on the wood stain can 😆 It is interesting to learn which words are the same in different languages

These turned out great. I love the addition of the Osmoed wood on top. I look forward to seeing what grows there in future videos.

So well done and stylish, like all your projects. Your kids are gonna love the Blueberries!

Wow, those are the fanciest raised beds I've ever seen!

12:42 That pronunciation was really good! Well done!

Springtime in Ibaragi - a great time for outdoor projects like gardening. Always happy to see a vid from this channel. I am reminded of my time in Ibaragi some decades ago.

It looks so good with the torched wood adding that beautiful contrast to the color of the beds. I always learn so much watching your videos ❤

What a lot of work! I know because we just increased our raised garden beds by one this year to grow only herbs. We put it close to the kitchen so I can just step outside a few paces to include fresh herbs while cooking. Thanks for posting.

The larvae look a lot like Christmas Beetle ones in Aus. People keep getting rid of curl grubs from lawns then wondering why there aren’t any Christmas Beetles in their area anymore. 😢 🪲 Good to hear you relocated them 💜🐨💜

Thank you for posting again.

Looks wonderful.

Have you considered putting your favorite mushroom spawn in the log/wood chip beds? If you end up with a bed in a shadier/wetter spot, or even mulch an area under a tree, you can encourage edible mushroom beds while they break down the wood and have a fun foraging project.

I love the Yakisugi raised garden beds💜As always, thank you for sharing!
