in one year they have gone up $75....... just moved out of my price range
One thing you can do to keep the cats out of your beds is to spread cayenne pepper on the ground. They will only use it one more time if that.
All of my beds are Huglekulture and they shrink every year a few inches. This last year (year 5) they shrank about 6 inches. I'm thinking they are starting to break down.
The wood inside the bins holds moisture. Al on Lumnah Acres moved his beds from setting them up the year before and was able to find a stick in the bottom and could squeeze water out of it. Seen others and their logs they put in shrank dramatically. So just know you will have to add more dirt each year. That isn't a bad thing either. Already planted my bins and the most problem was with rolly polly bugs eating the lima beans. Never known them to be a pest. Your bins look so good.
Hi, Ants produce formic acid, which helps them change the texture of the soil, maintain their environment and has other benefits for them. It may be contributing to the rust you are seeing on those particular bolts.
We never got to see how well the garden plants did or shrubs did from last year
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and gardening
I used pvc to make hoops over my raised beds so I can have row covers or netting over them for the whole season of I need to. In my case, it keeps the deer from nibbling things. The only thing I haven’t figured out how to keep covered are the tomatoes and other tall vining plants.
A lot of beautiful raised beds for fun in the garden. I'm looking forward to seeing what is going on the ground this year. You children are so tall! Nice children. Thanks so much for your videos. Love from Central Oklahoma.
Thanks for the review! I was wondering how they would hold up. Great video! The boys "leveling"... so cute! Take care! 😀
I built wood beds about 4 years ago and I have to add a little soil to them every year.
Hey Sam and Angela! Great video. Glad to hear the beds are holding up well! We did make improvements to our Birdies bed in the fall. All our Beds are now have stainless steel nuts and bolts to further minimize the chance of rust. Plus, you're right, we do have a new bracing kit made of galvanized steel!

Good to know!
Looks great
we had problem with neighbors cats using our beds, but not no more since we put up a premier one netting fence with solar enigizer for chickens.
Thanks for the update on the garden beds. They are sturdy and ready for planting.😊
We had neighborhood cats once that LOVED using my flower beds as their personal bathroom. My late husband suggested putting nails about every inch or so, with the point sticking up about 1/4 inch. They didn't hurt the beds or the flowers, and the cats hated the feel of them on their paws. Saved my sanity!!
I put plastic forks in the ground with the tines facing up to keep the squirrels from digging, would works for cats too i would think.
I used the Kellogg stuff topsoil in one of my planners last year and the other planner I use miracle grow. the flowers were twice as nice in a miracle grow planner as they were in the Kelloggs fact I had trouble keeping the plants in the Kellogg planner alive. . I won’t use it again. I hope you have better luck than I did with the soil. I’ll be watching to see I enjoy your videos thank you.
Those are nice tyfs hugs from South Ga.
Woo hoo
Have you tried to put charcoal on bottom then dirt so the roots can absorb the carbon, one more before anything pour ash all around before and few months later t deter the ant's and termites ZX. GOD BLESS YU UYS
Wow A YEAR already
Stormy here in Va..( 5/14)..Single 🥴..Sooo. I'm going to say now, "What a year, oh my time flies..."...😊
Thank you for your follow up review on these beds. So helpful. 💕💕🎶🎶
Very good update review.
Take care
I have had good luck using lemon rinds/peels around the areas where I DON'T want the cats doing their bidness. Orange peels and other intense smelling citrus works too. Others have talked about Pinesol or Lestoil but I don't know. Spraying the outside would work but would have to be repeated after each rain. BTW, once they have learned its not a nice place they will stay away. However strangers won't have that aversion. This stuff won't hurt the plants and will work on most outdoor areas. You will need to replace them regularly...
Thank you for sharing! Always love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
Your plant markers are very nice, Sam.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the update, how are your fruit trees doing?
Great review! I’m a fan of Epic gardening also! 😁
We love our Birdies (and they're local for us in Oz :-) ). The ants nest thing is a good observation, not something we've had (yet) - ants release formic acid as a defence mechanism (that smell when you squish one...), and formic acid and zinc don't get along!
Impressive with the Beds & Your Markers You Make Sam...And the Boys Leveling! ❤ Happy Gardening!! Happy Late Mothers Day Angela God Bless You All there..Stay Safe this Spring with weather!! ❤
I bought two raised beds and am in the process of setting them up. I am in NH so we start planting later. I want to get them set up by this weekend and start filling them, and maybe plant Memorial Day weekend. I am so excited about these. As I get older having raised beds is a must-have. I learned about these from your channel. When I mentioned your channel to my neighbor she also said she watches you too.
I love my birdies, raised beds. They look cool. They are great size and totally meet my needs. I’m delighted yours are working out for you.
it will rust the zink coating is slowly desolving and after that it will start on the metal , shouldnt matter too mush if you stay on top of it , you can either paint it (tectile chassis black ) or replace them
as for the soil settling , i used to grow some plant that smokes real nice and schrinkage was normal when using peat the stuff isnt fully done decomposing and its fluffed up to start with so watering it makes it settle sumtimes up to two thirth of the colume as long as you keep filling the plantbed up with new material it should be less and less ....... it might allso absorn moisture less and less so shoveling it out and putting it in a cementmixer with some perlite and slow desolving manure (chickenmanure rabit poop horse manure ) should have it back to full strength in no time
as for the cats getting in , having chickenwire just under the surface or mounted to a frame set over the flowerbeds should disuade them from digging , makes gardening harder though
Good afternoon Sam and Angela, I am super lucky to be able to watch your vids !
Will you be building a root cellar for your produce
We are seriously considering a storm shelter and one that is large enough for some storage would be nice.
Nice to see they held up well!
Maybe make hoop houses for the beds. Also try taking plastic forks and put them in tines up
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Should put a fence around your garden beds.will keep the cats out.
Did you guys put in any perennial in your Birdie raised bedsI? If so how did they winter over.
Did Sam just admit to digging up “The Bodies”?
Ants secrete formic acid. That's probably why the nuts rusted in the ant colony.
🎉 YAY YOU!!! 🎉
I hope you have a bumper crop of every seed you sow!
✌️💖🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱🙌🕊️🤜
Did you find those clips at a garden center?
No, they're from Amazon. There's a link to them in the video description.
You could put electric fence around your garden.
quick fix for ants nests.....get some from another nest and mix in job done

Cats are a pain in the butt, they've never been domesticated.
