Build Garden Rows Fast & Easy! Grow Your Food.

Build Garden Rows Fast & Easy! Grow Your Food.
This is how we prepared our garden rows with the Kubota LX2610 and the custom built row builder. Next we have to top dress them with compost and fertilizer, add some lime to adjust the PH and get some row covers on. This row is about ready to plant.
While we are here, let's talk about how we prune our tomatoes the first time.

I use the weed barrier fabric. Use a small butane torch to cut and to put holes in fabric. It'll keep it from unraveling. You'll be able to use it for 3 to 5 yrs. Garden looks good. May God bless it and it provide plenty. It's awesome to have your kid helping. Hats off to her..... Great job.

New sub. Kudos to the beautiful young lady out there helping get the work done. As a kid 40 years ago, I hated three things more than anything. Working in the garden, taking naps and going to bed early. Which oddly enough is my 3 most favorite things now. I have come around full circle. 🤣🤣🤣

Do you add drip tape under the plastic? Her in TX. The heat from the black plastic cooks the plants in summer. The young lady that helps. Has a great attitude. How do you encourage her? I think that is great!

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

He does have drip tape down . Our daughter gets paid hourly to work on the farm . She is a great kid though and a hard worker for sure .

[@CPUDOCTHE1]

I got 9 yds of mushroom compost for my garden this year. I just spread it with my front end loader and then disced it in. Sounds like your soil is acidic like ours. We normally apply 4 tons of lime per acre to decrease the acidity. I probably need to get a ton or two to put on my garden.

[@DinkTank369]

[@clwilli]

ok so you put a weed barrier down, but not on all rows. Do you do that just for certain crops?

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

He didn’t plant all the rows that first year so I think that might have been the factor …

[@SpearHead1011]

Hi....why do you put the black wrapping over the soil?

Seems like yesterday that I was farming with my son. He has since moved to Japan and got married. Enjoy the time you 2 spend together doing things like this. I now grow hydroponically with my grandkids.

[@johnkrug6659]

Ph of 5.2 to 6.0 is great for potatoes most plants like 6.5 One thing you need to know about nitrogen when you're in a humid region is that once you apply it you either need to work it in or water it in. High humidity and above 80 to 85 temps the N begins to denitrophy, in the right conditions it will escape to the atmosphere in mere hours

[@bossmk5142]

Great job! Frankie is turning out to be quite the hard working young woman! Raised a good kid guys! I had my son out today laying some weed barrier in my lil garden. Gonna do some raised beds this year. I'm in NY and my soil is rock solid so I'm building beds. Keep up the great work!

[@BurkeshireFarm]

Hi Mike and Frankie. Frank and Jackie here at Burkeshire Farm. Just an FYI. When you cut that ground cover with a knife, it causes it to fray real bad. We use a small hand held torch and a straight edge to cut ours and burn holes in it. Works pretty good. We are in the process of building our Hiller for our tiller. Great video. Keep it going and God Bless.

[@jackicarroll1490]

We planted our 30 x 50 foot raised row garden last month. Everything is coming up, but unfortunately so is wheat from the straw that we bought for building our rows. As I pull it out it is disturbing the soil around the plants and seedlings and there are quite a few clumps. Should I let it grow and hope the other plants like corn and beans choke it out or will the wheat choke out the vegetables?

Do you put Epsom salts around your pepper plant?

Yes he has on occasion 😀

[@DavidGlunt]

@@3MISSISSIPPI Was wondering how helpful it is.

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

Mike says it’s only once in awhile because sometimes it can do more harm than good .

[@stevereese6488]

If you are leaving the ground cover on for this garden season, you can use a butane torch to burn holes where you plan to plant.

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

Yep that’s exactly what he plans on doing 👍😀

[@stevereese6488]

@3 MISSISSIPPI yep I saw he said that later in the video. For that nut grass or nut sage you can get sage out I think it's called at the feed stores. I saw that while they were spreading compost on the rows.

[@pms1953]

Where do you get hog compost please?

Very helpful video! Frankie is a real cutie! How do y'all like that model of Kabota? Just started home garden on my land in south Lauderdale County, MS. I'll take all the advise that I can get! RickeyB

Thanks so much ! We love it ! Of course a bigger one would be nice but this one we could afford 💰

[@martymalinowski6352]

How come when I put my fabric down the wind always shows up? 🤔 I cut my fabric with a torch to seal the ends so they don't unravel. AM Leonard sells a magnetic tool to push those staples into the ground while you are standing, you'll appreciate that more when you get to be my age. Nice plot you have there, look forward to seeing more!

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

He had one tarp that was a different brand that ripped up immediately during the first high wind we had. But whatever this other fabric that he got down to cover the rows is …seems to work great. Oh well, it helps to have a teenager that you hire as your helper in the garden because she can do a lot more bending than he can 😂

[@allanhover5008]

Hello you too

[@pywifishingandoutdoors]

Wow, learned some new stuff! Thanks for sharing. Lmao, "could I just throw this somewhere?"

[@carolynland9523]

Mike, what landscape fabric did you use? Would it help my plants moisture level here in middle Georgia? It is so hot and dry here.

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

He can’t remember the brand, but it’s woven fabric in an absolutely helps retain moisture.

[@ryanharrington6497]

I think your measurement of a half a bag of lime was off. Looked like about a quarter of a bag by the time you stopped pouring. 😂

I may have missed it in the video but why is the row covered before planting after the fertilizer and top cover have been put on top of the row?

We definitely didn’t spend that much 😂 we got one of the smallest tractors we could afford and our neighbor built the row builder. Still making payments on the tractor but you need one to farm .

I can eat tomatoes, but I can not touch the vines without having a skin reaction. That amazed several friends of mine. Years later, I found that the vines do have a toxic substance some individuals. Vines are toxic to eat also. So I wonder if those horn worms that eat tomatoes are toxic too? Why birds don't seem to eat them. Just a thought.
