I live in Wisconsin where of course we get a significant freeze. Can I direct sow the lavender seeds into the ground in fall and stratify them over winter and have them sprout in spring? Thanks.

@@djrtime1398 Hey there! Yes, you can definitely stratify the seeds naturally outside. Many times, I will sow seed that needs stratification in fall and after winter is over, they will begin to germinate. Stay well and grow well!

These beds look really good. I just can't go with the pressure treated lumber, even the new product. I've thought about using fir instead, which will last longer than PT lumber, but it's more costly. I may go with rough a cut spruce and try the charring technique to resist decay.

@newsoutherngarden it helps to soak them out of the pot, just like you showed in your watering vid., just wothout the pot. Its easy to remove the peat after that (the pest will cause stem rot after a while!) Then, its easier to see the "good roots" better too, theyll mostly turn green or while and be nice and plump. Trim then, and them repot in your chunky mix! Im loving the presentation of these vids though, great job! Clear and concise, plus great audio and video!

@@CallMeCarter211 They sound like some great raised beds! From the plants perspective, most won’t require more than an 8-10” depth of soil to grow in. If you grow large roots crops, then probably the deeper the better. However, having the beds a bit taller can help with accessibility on the gardener’s part or, as you mention, perhaps protection from dogs and some other animals. As long as you have that 8” or so of soil, your plants should grow wonderfully! I’m glad to hear so many pallets are being repurposed to good use!

Hey there! I always use a product we call soil conditioner. Here in the south, we have an abundance of pine trees. Once composted, pine bark makes a great potting mix! You can also compost leaves from trees as well. Screen it well, perhaps to 1/4”, and you can have an abundance of potting mix for propagating new plants!
