@@angelfire9011 genuinely don’t think many people do. So don’t feel bad 💕 But we all start somewhere. We all kill MANY plants while waiting for that damned thumb to turn green lol
Given time, these pine sleepers can twist. I'd recommend placing a sleeper offcut on the inside of each corner and screwing through that. I've found that screwing into the end-grain isn't as strong. 😊
For fill , if you dont have all the stuff you did ask a tree guy for wood chips . Generaly they will be free & delivered (waste product to them). Just be carefull as they often want to get rid of a lot more than you need. My next door neighbour helped out there.I also used it to cover the walkways between beds so no mowing down there. Use 3 or 4 layers of cardboard there though to make sure the grass won't come back. Lasts 3 or 4 years with Aussie hardwood chips. The woodchips I put in my much taller beds has turned into great soil over the last few years but sinks as it degrades & needs to be topped up with compost.
Wow! I thought Bunnings had switched from CCA treated pine to ACQ years ago, but I just checked and they still sell CCA sleepers for gardens. I normally use the hardwood sleepers anyway but they are quite costly. Great info and a top video. Oh I really enjoyed the "mallet incident" 😊
I feel like all day every day is that sleep deprived blur, going on a good 8-9months since my youngest has slept more than 20 minutes without me in the room with him. It's left me so behind on sorting out beds or anything else. Fingers crossed your little one settles to quality sleep soon 🤞
I remember those waking zombie days (daze!) Thanks for the great video. I love what you're doing to encourage people to grow their own food. It's magic!
Watching with my 16mo in NZ this morning. Congrats on your baby and sympathies with the sleep situation. We appreciate the time and effort you are putting into this project 🙏 Can't wait to follow along and let my son think I'm an epic gardener 😅
Greetings from The States! It is time to get back into gardening, and looking forward to hearing about it from a fellow Aussie! (Family is in ACT on Mom's side)
Thanks for the inspo. I have a bare patch which is crying out for something just like this but it’s been too daunting to get moving on. You’ve illustrated that Yes It Can Be Done - Just Do It!! Sent you a small ‘thanks’ as the patreon link didn’t work. P.S. congrats of the 4 month old 😮 It’ll only get better 😊😉💞
Would love videos on cost effective arches for things like cucumbers, luffa, passionfruits etc! And cost effective trellisis! Our fence with the neighbors is very low (I can jump over it) and we're wanting to remove the current trees and bushes that are all fire hazards, and replace them with trellisis I can grow beans, peas and tomatoes against.
I don’t own a lawn mower anymore but I do have lots of plastic to cover my grаss that’s the same type. I might save the internets garden beds for next year. In the middle of a lot of garden projects already at the moment 😂 But who knows…. By the end of the month I may still change my mind
Thank you for the video! I like raised beds as they look prettier and keep everything contained and looking nice, so just ignore the negative comment where they are saying it’s bad advice. I’m a professional gardener in Vic and build mine similar to you, but I do a layer of horse manure in the base too. It’s $2 a bag and it is great in a lower level where it has time to mature. I just check with where I buy it that it’s not from somewhere where weeds are sprayed and I try to get it from stalls so that it doesn’t have weeds from the paddock mixed in, but being on a lower level; I never have a problem with weeds anyway. After I make a bed, I water it and then cover with cardboard or paper and I leave it for a couple of months to sink and rest and then top up and plant :) if you have a chance to do it in advance :) if not, you get a chance to top up the soil each time you replant in it anyway :) thanks for your videos :)
i've been blowing the whistle on these useless and expensive contraptions that dont grow a single more vegetable than simple in ground rows. the initial purchase is just the start of the ongoing cost and problems with made up lofty promises. how this keeps on getting passed on as "good advice" is beyond me. usually just follow the money of snakeoil salesmanship.
@@merriblair3791 : yeah, except that pushing raised beds to new gardeners is kind of one sided, and repetitive, and expensive, and not necessary at all. like lipstick on a pig. it wont make the bacon one iota better, but sure looks pretty.
Mate, you're not seeing the big picture. I've grown in in-ground rows as well as raised beds, and each option is valid. If you've ever had to grow on nothing but subsoil, you'll know that you need to add a significant amount of decent growing soil to grow veg. Pile that up for an in-ground bed, and over time, you're going to lose those edges to slumping/knocking with feet, etc. So you have this tapered off area that fails as an access path AND a garden bed. Yes, I use in-ground rows for the market garden (2000 garlic, 100 zucchini plants, etc), but that's because 1) it's a massive area, so some inefficient edge space doesn't matter, and 2) the soil is way better than what's around the house. If I put in-ground beds near my house, my dog is going to erode all those edges in a heartbeat, and I'm not going to achieve the depth of good soil I need without having these wasteful and awkward tapered edges. And frankly, it's going to look messy. Some folk don't mind their garden looking like an unstructured mess, but my garden doubles as extra living space, so I want it neat and functional. Feel free to blow the whistle, but try to save it for the youtube videos that are genuinely peddling garbage.

Love that there are more Aussies doing videos!!
Me too!
Especially when they’re in the same climate and time zone 😂
Same, I need all the help I can get. I do not have a naturally green thumb

You made me so happy when you said” measured twice, whack once!” my late father used to say that all the time and it made me smile so big!
I think you are going to do very well. In general but also on TH-cam. I am looking forward to seeing your garden and your channel grow.

Just found your channel very back to basics for us people just starting gardening

The internet's garden bed will (hopefully) run for a full year so you can just jump in at whatever point you want
Yay can’t wait to make my bed!!! Also congratulations on your 4 month old, hope you all can get more sleep!!
What a great video! I can't wait to see the lovely haul of veggies etc that you create with them. :D
G'day!
Great video and it's really making me want to pull up some of my beds and start again.
All the best. - Daz.
Culinary Garden, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!

Congratulations. This is a fabulous tutorial.
Perfect timing
Thanks
Great video
Love the video however, I also throw in an ice cream container out of my worm farm and water in worm wee. The logical use of mulching is a key factor
Really great video, thank you!
OMG I laughed out loud and woke up my cats
Where do you get the sleepers from? I don't see them for that price at bunnings etc.
Can you add vermiculite?
