What’s the purpose in making a video when text covers the first 30 seconds of that video? Shouldn’t this be in the “more info” section?

To echo inbocaru, this is really not so much a video on what a raised bed is as much as it is on what good soil is.

Just a tip for those watching.

I’m not sure why people use wood frames to make raised beds – this is counter-productive and not the point at all. Using wood can attract pests and fungus and does not allow the soil to ‘breath’ and get warm from the sun. In China, where raised beds are common practice, they don’t use wood at all and have excellent raised bed gardens. Just measure out the rows – five feet wide by whatever length long, and about 4 feet wide at the top of the bed so the sides taper in a little.

They are leaving out important info. If you have clay soil you need to lime it. Just buy the cheap stuff, the expensive time release is actually encapsulated in MORE CLAY, so you will be poisoning your soil. Just lime it, let that soak in, add sand, and then add compost. You can turn clay into rich black soil in just a few years this way. Important to know if shit gets bad. If you can’t buy lime, just use ash. It does the same thing, it raises the pH of the soil. Have fun!!!
