Welcome to Auxhart Gardening! I’m Rachel, a small-scale southern gardener growing near Clemson, SC, zone 8a. I mainly garden in-ground, with containers as secondary production spaces.
Knowing where your food comes from is powerful, and empowering, and I believe we can change the world through gardening education.
The agricultural system is broken; we’ve monocultured nearly every major crop, forcing the use of chemical pesticides and inorganic fertilizers to maintain large-scale food production. I believe there’s a better way.
By teaching people to rely on themselves, even just a little, for their food supply, we might be able to create some breathing room for our strained food system, allowing for change to start happening.
By educating people about where food comes from and how to grow it, we can raise awareness about our broken agricultural system and form a community that understands how to fix it.
By forming a community, we can move toward creating real change in the world.
My goal is to educate; yes you can grow food, yes you can do it without chemicals, yes you can do it in your backyard or on your windowsill. And yes, that can make a difference in the world.

Good comprehensive review.

Ooh I’m glad you messaged me yesterday and told me about this video. It’s just what I needed and right at the perfect time.

[@beckytalhelm6415]

Great job on this one. Extremely useful.

[@SusanStevens-f7w]

Great video! Thank you! The side-by-side comparison was fantastic! Very in-depth on the issues I am concerned about.

[@AuxhartGardening]

Great report. Thank You.

[@amyschultz8058]

I really appreciate this video. Im looking now to replace some of our containers. I loved how you broke this down for us. ❤

[@SouthernAngelEyes]

Thank you for this review. It will be most helpful as we are looking to purchase a different brand. The birdies beds were great at first, then started having a couple issues with them so have been wanting to try a different brand. Thank you again. 🌻

[@AuxhartGardening]

Oh really? What kind of issues? I’ve only heard good things about them.

[@SouthernAngelEyes]

@@AuxhartGardening They did really well on the flat areas. In the couple areas that had a slight decline, we used the longer option like you have (the 8 in 1 I believe it was called) & put a little in the ground evenly on one side & now a couple yrs later is bowing out at the bottom. It seems a bit too flimsy. Thinking we did something wrong, double checked birdies video to make sure. I have them 1/2 full now with lettuces, radish, onions & peas but after harvest, we are trying a different brand. I'm thinking that the trapezoid design may be sturdier. One of the other birdies have areas of rust from under the rubber seal after 3 years which could be a flaw in the material. The last 2 birdies we purchased were the smaller ones, so far seem like better choice; still hopeful of them. Thank you again for showing your review. It is right on time as we were looking to try another. Appreciate you. 🌻

What almost certainly happens here is these companies are not making the corrugated metal themselves, they're just buying from another supplier, forming them into the raised bed panels and packing them with the fittings. All the raw material is coming from the same big companies so the raised bed manufacturers are just trying to put their own marketing spin on their metal being better.

[@Orange_You_Glad]

This is an awesome comparison! I love the transparency/honesty, even if you could have cashed in.

[@fk319fk]

The features that I liked the most are: rod supports (for the taller beds, I would like the supports to cross) acorn nuts (to keep the threads clean in the dirt I would like to have seen carriage bolts (Screw with a rounded head and a square that connects to a square punch in the metal. They only need one tool to tighten.) I like the rolled top. (I would have preferred a better overlap, like one side cut just under the rolled top) I also like different heights. 11" for tomatoes and 30" for herbs, onions, etc. Colors, I am not particular, as long as they are earth tones. As for accessories, I would like to attach poles to which I could attach strings.
