Alternatively, depending on you climate or plant choices, honeysuckle, wisteria and other vine perennials can be trained to grow along the top end of the fence. Add butterfly bushes in the four corners. They are deer proof and easy to grow. Great project thus far. Will you be using a gravity fed drip irrigation system to hero plants moist and minimizing evaporation losses?

You are awesome!!! I have so many dreams that were tabled after my husband of 23 years left me and our 14 year old.

[@brisay1844]

@@AprilWilkerson Thank you so much April. I have a certain philosophy, that helps me to see the bigger picture, it is that, "everything happens for a reason.". My experiences have made me completely reliant upon God. I see God's hand in everything. My Ex was abusive on all levels. God knew I would never leave him; so God made him leave me. It has been hard and difficult, on all levels, but I have learned so much. I learned a lot about the importance of healthy boundaries. I've learned to stick up for my daughter and myself. I also learned, if any person abuses you, they are unworthy of your love. I still get scared from time to time, but I get up every morning and care for my family and my chickens, and I work hard every day around my old home trying to fix the things that need repair. I hope and pray God blesses you for your kind and compassionate nature. People like you are a beacon of hope in a tired and over stressed world. May God's love be ever present in your life. May you never know what it feels like to Love in vain and may you always know peace, health, happiness and compassion💖Amen💖

I totally agree with planning/drawing out your build virtually before you build it. My husband drew our house in that program you mentioned with ALL the details, so that when spring came we could just start building.

Literally the best raised beds I've seen. I would never of thought about using metal roofing material but it makes the most sense. It will reduce rot on the wood base and make the unit much lighter if needed to move. Only one thing is I'm pretty sure deer are going to jump that when their hungry.

[@idontthinkso666]

Deer are skilled at jumping, but this garden is safe. The fence is high enough. And deer won't jump when they see that they don't have a safe place to land.

Thanks April, Patrick from north Idaho where the “deer and the antelope” eat everything...including rhubarb! Several features I loved about your project: 1) high walls and screened for animal prevention, 2) properly treated lumber so durability with no toxins into the food, 3) connectable pieces so that you can expand, change configuration and shrink as needed. Finally I realized that with just a few modifications I could enclose the whole system with a bit of full spectrum corrugated sun panels and actually re-purpose the garden idea to a fully functional green house. You are an amazing builder...and I have to say...very covetous shop!!! Thanks from your garden fans!

[@MrBrianDuga]

Wow nice I'm jealous. When building my raised beds with PT, I struggled with the fact that none of the PT was the same width. Not fun to rip this stuff on a lower powered TS. Perhaps Lowes is better than Home Depot in that regard. Each bed is the height of a seat so I can sit while weeding. I opted to have the bottom be the earth itself and put wire mesh on the bottom to keep burrowing critters from coming up from below. This also works well to allow earth worms to enter and leave as they'd like. In each garden, I partially bury a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled in it for my red wiggler worms. Dinner veg scraps, offcuts, and weeds go in there with layers of shreddings of paper bags or cardboard for bedding. Every spring I get an amazing "harvest" of worm castings to use in plantings. The worms aerate the soil around the tower. I also lined the inside of the bed with aquaponics plastic and wonder if that trapped heat and moisture. I think if I did it again, I'd try using a 1/4" drainage board material (like for siding rainscreen walls) and a layer of landscape fabric to separate it from the soil. The concept is similar to those fabric pots people love that causes the air pruning of roots. Good luck looks amazing. I desperately need fencing for the family of groundhogs living under my shed who eat for free.

[@verbotn]

When I build my 12' x 22' C-shaped raised-bed garden I was not only concerned with the potential of whatever the pressure-treatment chemicals might do, but also the wood being wet all of the time. My solution was to line them with Delta MS foundation wrap to keep the wood from direct soil contact but also to allow airflow around the lumber.

[@ProvidingResources]

If you are confined to a mobility scooter or wheelchair, these could be built with a diagonal undercut slanted service side walls, so that yo can maybe get your chair or scooter in closer to reach easier. Additionally, individual 4x4 beds with 2-3 foot gaps between then would help with mobility access. As my body deteriorates, I look at options to make things accessible from my scooter for when I am more or less confined to it in the future.

[@GM_____]

a lot of gardeners I know have said those don’t work; the animals aren’t outsmarted for long 😞

[@rrittenhouse]

@@GM_____ Well then, make an animatronic owl that reacts when shes not around lol. That would be funny to test.

Some monofilament fishing line strung across will keep them out. It's hard for them to see and freaks them out when they fly into it.

As someone who's been battling blackberries for years...stay completely on top of them or you're gunna have a large chore on your hands. amazing gorgeous garden!

[@deddrunc5591]

Very well done. That is super impressive.

[@zan917]

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. What an amazing project! I deal with deer in my yard as well so I definitely want to try a smaller version of this.

[@janea5898]

You should dress your planted beds with a couple inches of straw or mulch to retain moisture in your soil. The automatic watering system is nice but it’ll save water and create healthier soil with a biodegradable mulch. I’ve used paper bags, straw and commercial garden mulch.

OMG April this is amazing! I would love to do a collab with you in starting some seeds since you are in the same hardiness zone as us. Thanks for sharing

[@massoud139]

I really enjoyed this video , exactly like your other videos . YOU are a one wo(man) team . What you build , you do the best . RESPECT , LADY , RESPECT , RESPECT . Keep up the GREAT JOB !!!

[@vanaukentim]

Thanks for the video. My wife and I used your design and built a small version of this. It turned out great!

[@avocadopharm4473]

I just wanted to learn how to build an elevated garden bed....so do I still need to rent a tractor? LOL amazing work, April as always!

April, in my experience the staples you use to keep the plastic in place rust out in 23 minutes and leave two fine holes that create nice circular bits of rotted wood. Most of the time you do not really need them and when you do a dab of adhesive (one that does not eat the plastic) is better.

Stainless steel Staples

[@genuineann4085]

Wow. Extraordinary. Love this.

[@bobabell6982]

Very nice. Really like the mountains in the background.

April: cuts 10 sheets at the same time perfectly aligned Me: cuts 10 sheets in a zig zag and ruins 10 sheets of metal panels....😳😳😆😆 You inspire me!

[@AprilWilkerson]

: ) Ha, well I had clamps on them to hold them aligned as I cut.

[@richardreynolds9389]

April, that is one big garden. I can see how it will be easy to work with it, since everything is almost waist height. Great project.

[@scpatl4now]

I just want to know when she would find the time to garden! Its not like she has so much leisure time (at least that's what it looks like)

[@gurbhalla]

Very very beautiful and efficient, one of the most beautiful channel I have seen thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful ideas. It’s a great help to the beginners as well as experienced person’s

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thank you so much. My Viewers have a wide range of skillset and hope all can take something from each video. Thanks for watching.

[@justinmoore5319]

Great video, always a joy to watch

[@amandahutchison5360]

That is really cool, 'The Garden Walk' could be a name or possibly 'April's Walk'

[@lunkydog]

I think you'll regret blackberries in the center bed. From my experience they don't like being restrained. It will be a constant battle.

[@nancysims7106]

@Benjamin Suntrup the berries I have seen like to creep out and up, good luck with them

[@Lobo4ever]

I grow my raspberries (similar habit) within a big cage and they do require real tending to keep them in control. Every year I'm clearing my walkways through the cage during the entire season. It is a chore I could do without. I grow strawberries in the same cage and the walkway between is a battle between the two, but the strawberries are so much easier to contain.

[@AB-so3jv]

wow...... garden is amazing, you are amazing......!!!!!! i love your garden!!!

[@ween189]

I am amazed by your work.

[@joshdonn1606]

This is probably the coolest raised bed design I've seen on KZbin

[@paladin1544]

That's an amazing setup. I can only imagine what the wood alone would cost.

[@featheramericangoodeagle]

Lowe's either paid for it or she has money to burn.

[@AprilWilkerson]

It was a lot then and would be a lot more now for sure. But unfortunately, as a woodworker, I have to have material so I'm stuck. No, contrary to popular belief, I do not get it free. I buy my plywood and 2 x 4's just like everyone else. Thanks for watching.

[@flankan]

wow, just wow. thanks for sharing!

[@medlinks1118]

Love the design! Just awesome 😎
