URGENT MESSAGE! Hey Becky! Everything is so amazing! There is one thing very urgent for you to consider! I manage a community garden with over 60 raised bed, , they are 16’ x 5’ and 3’ deep. They all started having a major problem with the boards on the long side bowing, due to the weight of the soil over time! You can prevent it NOW by putting in a support board at the 8’ point, running across and attached to the edges on each side! It is a pretty simple fix if done now! I hope you have time to consider this issue before the soil goes in. We all love you girl! Keep up your great content!

Make sure you put HIGH quality landscape fabric down in all your wall ways between your raised beds. Also put a valve on each raised bed so you have control of how much water each bed gets. Then you can turn off water if you don’t have anything planted in the bed.

Hi Becky - when it comes to doing pressure treated posts, they are not only cost effective but also since going in the ground last longer as it takes longer for them to rot. To try and alleviate any toxins that may be in pressure treated wood from leeching into your garden soil you can get some linseed oil and a paint brush from your local home depot and coat the pressure treated boards with this linseed oil to prevent any leeching from happening. Linseed is made from flax and is food grade and safe! Hope this helps!

I think having them in a run will be fine. When we had our chickens free range they always made a mess on our porches and when they had 100 acres to roam. You’re right, it was embarrassing when people came over because they would have to step over the chicken mess and as much as I loved my girls, it is a daily chore to keep up with their mess. Also, not everyone likes chickens. I had people that were terrified of my chickens. Every homestead is different and I think having your girls in one area is okay. It keeps them safe and keeps your homestead the way you want it. There is nothing wrong with that.

My dad and I just put up a fishing line fence to keep deer out. It has been 3 weeks and so far it works. We can even see their footprints stopping at the line. It's super easy and cheap to keep the deer out. They can't see the fishing line but they feel it and can't figure out how to get past it. We put t-posts every 50ft or so and made about 3 lines with 40lb fishing line and enclosed the garden.

The rules for "Josh and I" or "Josh and me"..........(this is a copy and paste from a website, not my personal words) There's an easy way to know whether to use "Sally and I" or "Sally and me." Just take "Sally" out of the sentence for a second. Would you say, "Mom baked cookies for I"? "Please take a picture of I"? Or "Just ask I"? No, of course you wouldn't; you would naturally say "me" instead of "I." So if you would naturally say "me," then you should use "me" in conjunction with the other person's name.

I hope you have better luck than I did with cedar raised beds. Mine were 4 x 8 and bowed immediately. The soil ran out the bottom whenever it rained. Pulled out the rotted boards within 5 years and gave up. In my area deer, rabbits, and groundhogs will obliterate a garden overnight unless fenced.

Interesting that you did the paver bricks. Here in the plains they become very slippery when wet and icy during winter which I thought you were trying to avoid. Textured cement and "tire rubber" pavers work much better for no slipping. That said it does look great!

Becky, I can see how excited you are and that makes me happy too. What a beautiful abundance of food you will start to grow. Grow lots of daffodils, iris, and day lilies that you can later transplant to other areas around the property. It's too cold here but You have motivated me to plan my little garden.

Pam here….most of the homesteading channels I watch the chickens are not ‘free ranged’. They have a moveable electric run, or mobile coop, or hoop house….so hey….what you’re going to do i think is best for cleanliness, and for the safety of your girls. I could see you allowing them at the end of garden season to peck through and clean the raised beds…but I wouldn’t want them on my front porch either….as adorable as they are!

Hi Becky, I live in Eugene and our weather is probably the same. As the summers get hotter and we have months without a drop of rain you might consider more drought tolerant plants for your front entry and save your water bill for veggies etc . I recommend Sedums. They come in many forms, low growing, and spreading along the ground, mid sized and taller flowering types. They are extremely low maintenance, drought tolerant, attractive esp. to bees and come in so many forms.

Becky, you should follow Garden Answer on KZbin. They are from Oregon and do all things gardening including seed starting, raised bed and in ground gardening, drip irrigation, annual and perennial planting, evergreen planting, tree planting, fruit tree maintenance, pest and weed control (they like to use natural products), etc. They show you how to do things step by step and what tools they use. They also have two greenhouses. Check out their video titled 15 perennials every garden should have. Maybe they can help inspire you with watering, weed control, the best perennial plants for your area, etc. Thanks for your channel and all you do to inspire and teach us. I can't wait to see how your garden turns out.🍎

💡 recycling the cinder blocks from the strawberry beds to the inside perimeter of the new beds Assist in reinforcement of the foundation of the beds before installing the foundation boards Install on the ends and longest side as you go down the slope Reduce wear on the bottom boards over time 💭
