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!

Yes very good idea as my beds did start to do that just from soil erosion and the weather as we get alot of snow in Wisconsin but I would do that to prevent problems down the road. How girl are you going to do all this gardening w baby boy and being between 6 & 9 months old oh my but then I think Becky has alot of ambition and your much much younger actually about my daughter age somehow it will all work out well for you.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.🍎

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.

I took a TON of pictures as our house was being built (no really, like literally 1000 pictures). This way, if I ever need to know what's behind a wall, I can refer to the pic and know where the electric is, where the plumbing is. We recently had the yard marked for digging so as to not hit utilities and I've taken prob another 15 pics so we know where the gas, cable, water lines are in the yard, too!
