Thanks for the video
I’m pretty sure that most vascular plants have specialized structures in their roots that act as a barrier to toxins. They will only let water and nutrients into the plant while filtering out toxins. So even if you built this planter out of treated wood, and the chemicals leeched into the soil, they would not end up in your food. From experience, I have two large treated wood planters in the front yard that grow many varieties of flowers with no problems. I havent grown food in them though.
I love to watch her screw the wood.
I love you garden girl. I think it is for real this time.
use stone or cement problem solved
have you tried hugelkultur?
You make it sound so easy!!
I wish!
Thank you for the info!:)
I am sure those beds will help grow some terrific cotton plants.
does health and safety exist in the USA? If that drill bit snapped it would pierce her designer sunglasses!!
not garden! garen!
Regarding Pressure Treated Wood… multiple University Extension programs have done extensive studies. I’m not aware of a single study that has found any significant issues. The chemicals in the wood are bound tightly to the wood fibers. Keep the soil PH neutral, avoid root crops like carrots being closer than 2″ to the sides for the first few years and you’ll be fine. It’s a personal choice, but I’d rather not kill more trees every 5 -10 years based on concerns with no supporting data.
just wanted to check on you great chanel check out our garden box
I watched some guitar movie and how the fucking hell did i end up here? o_O
Nice video but umm, everyone already knows that any precut wood other than rough cut is not really 2×4 or 2×6.
What’s all this talk of chickens and small livestock? I thought this was for vegetables… So confusing.
I don’t like the cutesy pie intro. Should have used that time to tell us how to prepare the site, whether to line the bottom with weed block fabric, whatever.
next gardentv how-to video will be on : How to grow weed on raised wooden bed .
Thumbs up if you hate black people.
@misspookietoodle did you fill it with something? or just soil. I was thinking maybe some rocks or old pots.
Hey everyone. I want to build a raised bed next to the dog’s path to his play area. I am afraid that they will get into it if is too low, so wondering how high it can be built. Most of the projects I see are only about 20″ or so. I would like something at about 4 feet. If I build it that high, what can I fill it with so I don’t have to add all that soil. Would love your suggestions. Annie
You rock. Nuff said.
@falcondriver100 You must be the dumbest troll on Youtube.
A nude presentation of this video would be more helpful.
Thank goodness i finally found this video. I cannot tell you how many worthless videos. Nothing but men with their saws and their egos in their yards and lots and lots and lots of talking. So thank you!!!
Pine isn’t going to last very long in that application. Just an fyi, when your 2×10′s were still rough cut they were 2×10, then they were planed down. You should look for rough cut cedar or redwood for this type of application.
