Change is in the Air ⭐️ Refreshing Our Elevated Raised Beds With Our Favorite Organic Soils

Thanks for growing with us!
As the season warms it is time to get our elevated raised beds from Gardener’s Supply Company ready to plant. First we are spacing them out to give us more room to work in between each bed. Then we are adding new feet to keep them from sinking in the gravel. After that it is time to add our new soils. We are using Coast of Maine Bar Harbor and Canteen Blends. These organic soils will combine to give us a lightweight and extremely productive growing medium. @Coastofmaine @gardenerssupply

What a fantastic showcase of our Bar Harbor Potting Soil and Castine Raised Bed Mix! 🌱💚 Thanks for spotlighting these gardening game-changers. Can't wait to see more gardening blooms with the new lay-out!

[@growformegardening]

We are really excited to get started with planting in a few weeks! Thank you!

[@ruralangwin]

I like the juxtaposition between the structured raised bed area and the paver areas and the flouncy, natural meandering boarders.

[@growformegardening]

We call it Contemporary Cottage. We mix modern garden design with cottage style

[@casandradickinson8518]

Good morning Eric and Christopher, I like the new layout, the precise measurements are a plus, love symmetry. I like how thorough you are with your explanations, the soils descriptions are on point, you will have very happy veggies😉

[@growformegardening]

I hope so!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks!

[@prettypothos4me290]

Bought ten bags of the Bar Harbor purple bag so far because you recommended it, and it is everything I hoped for. Best mix I have ever used! I was kind of shocked to be able to get it here in south central PA, and I told the garden center how much I liked it. Thanks guys!

[@growformegardening]

That’s awesome!!! You are going to have a fantastic planting season!

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

Can’t wait to see what you plant into them

[@growformegardening]

Me too. Lots of ideas

[@jcking6785]

I love how you guys are always in sync, (at least you are in front of the camera, LOL)! The precise placement of the beds gives the space a cohesive look that is so pleasing to the eye. Nice job guys!

[@growformegardening]

Haha thanks!

[@misstrcarter]

That "garden math" got me dizzy! 😆

[@growformegardening]

Haha me too

[@pamelawolfson1423]

looks great! must have been a mess taking the old soil out

[@growformegardening]

ooh yes it was. Some was still frozen when we did it

[@helenpearson1873]

Loving the attention to detail guys! I’m always amazed ( each year I forget) at how much compost I need for mulching my flower beds. We purchase in Litres which I believe 1 litre is around 2 cubic feet. We cannot purchase compost with peat here in the UK due to environmental concerns. It’s difficult getting the right ‘blend’ when filling up my containers for flowers or vegetables. Any ideas anyone? Can’t wait see what you choose to grow this year. Happy Gardening X

[@growformegardening]

The peat conversation is very interesting. I want to spend some time learning more about it

[@autumnfairy8543]

This is the video I was waiting for! My 2 x 8 is assembled! And got both the raised bed mix and potting soil ready to fill it soon! We're getting some low 30s for the next few nights here in MA so that's a bummer.

[@growformegardening]

Same... we have a 28 tomorrow night. I think we will be wrapping a few things with frost cloth. Fingers crossed for everything that is ahead of schedule!

[@autumnfairy8543]

@@growformegardening Oh, 28, I would definitely cover things that need it! I was wondering about whether or not to cover my peach and plum trees that are currently blooming. But I feel like they'll be fine. I hope so!

[@growformegardening]

Fingers crossed!!

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Loving the symmetry of the garden boxes. #partairemuch

[@growformegardening]

ooh yes. Sometimes we call it the Potager

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Your raised beds look spectacular guys! Great job!

[@growformegardening]

[@growformegardening]

😁

[@AdvantageLandscaping]

goooood work god bless!

[@growformegardening]

Thank you!

[@malindamiller845]

That was a fantastic choice moving the space saver. While watching the set up I was thinking something just doesn’t feel quite right. The move was perfction!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks!

[@peggy-ann1961]

Loved the precise measurements, right up my alley! Sure wish I had the room for raised beds and the sun, those look fantastic! 🌼🇨🇦🌼

[@growformegardening]

Thanks! They feel much more "grand" spaced this way

[@Steph_Enck]

Thank the Lort you moved the trellis! My eyes were burning! Need the symmetry! I’m an old hairstylist. 😂

[@growformegardening]

haha I hear ya!

[@odemonet]

Wow those raised beds are so nice! Looking forward to seeing them filled.

[@growformegardening]

Us too!

[@lavenderbutterfly2160]

Guys it’s going to be so beautiful with all the veggies and flowers god bless you both

[@growformegardening]

We are very excited

[@user-ty1bu2zk5z]

looks great and i love to see you both in the garden for a new season of blooms.

[@growformegardening]

Can't wait!

[@user-sn1jt5sh2x]

Your garden looks amazing, Thank you as always, showing us the right way to do gardening❤

[@growformegardening]

So nice of you

[@leahquinn8533]

Love the refresh! Will you add irrigation to each of the raised beds?

[@growformegardening]

We will!

[@mariale7821]

Hi Christopher and Eric, did you guys use some type of landscape fabric to line the bottom by chance? Great video!

[@growformegardening]

Yup. There is a single layer under the soil

[@naturegirl7777]

...GREAT results, guys! The tedious ("teed-jus" 😂) work/measuring really paid off. I love symmetry. Have a wonderful week. 🫶🤗 👩🏼‍🌾💚 =^..^= [MD, now 7a]

[@growformegardening]

Thank you! You too!

[@nicoletihista7031]

I love those beds! I have such a small yard, and maybe a few of those would look good in a small yard! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@growformegardening]

Glad you like them!

[@renebyers6153]

Nice work!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks!

[@Alyssasrosegarden]

My husband and I could never post us building stuff together because of how frustrating it is haha, you two work well together! it looks so clean and nice. Can't wait to see it grow.

[@growformegardening]

There might be a little editing but for the most part we have gotten the hang of how we both work

[@patboyle267]

Looks gorgeous 💪👏👏👏 can’t wait to see what you decide to fill the beds with 😊

[@growformegardening]

So many beautiful and yummy things!

[@livvybeasley6677]

Hi Eric and Christopher, the raised beds look very smart in their new position. I don't know whether you remember, I asked you if you bought your Panicula Hydrangeas from a specialised nursery, as we can't seem to get them in the UK. Well I was so excited as I managed to get two Pink Lady Hydrangeas in one of our garden centres. I can't wait for them to flower

[@growformegardening]

That's wonderful!! I just looked them up and they are beautiful!

[@SHARONRENEA15]

As always, great video! It will be a lot easier to move around your beds. Will y'all be running drip to these?

[@growformegardening]

Oh yes we will. We learned that the hard way last year. Drip makes such a difference.

[@jaimerein7959]

So beautiful! Love watching your channel but I need to ask but the knee pads in the pants....are they knee pads under the pants or kneepads incorporated into the pants? Just asking for friend whose knees are already protesting the gardening year.

[@growformegardening]

Hop on the Duluth Trading website. They are regular pants that have a little velco pocket that you put the knee pad inside.

[@sandrabradbury4962]

Hi you two. Just a thought, if you put the trellis on the 2x4 planters toward the fence, you would have like a room to walk into with all your raised beds. U shape with the little needs in the middle. Like I said, just a thought. Love your gardens. They are beautiful.

[@growformegardening]

Thank you so much. We did consider this at one point, but the wind comes directly from the west over that fence so to keep everything steady it’s better to have it in that direction.

[@lizmerritt2148]

Beds look good ! Thanks for the informative videos.

[@growformegardening]

You bet

[@stacynagle5192]

Looks great! I was hoping for some drone footage at the end to ease my OCD❤

[@growformegardening]

I was going to do that for Thursday's video actually. Not too long to wait

[@michellefrance1165]

Love the new layout!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks!!

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

Well planned😊

[@growformegardening]

So spacious!

[@user-vj3kj1yp6g]

I like the raised beds, wish I had something like that. You mentioned you grew artichokes in the smaller raised bed. Do you have any tips on how to grow them? Just for fun, I am experimenting with growing artichokes here in southern Connecticut, zone 7a. My house faces a southern exposure. I got beautiful foliage, yet no artichokes produced. Can you give us some advise on wintering over artichoke plants. Thank you.

[@growformegardening]

Well it was an experiment for us too! We bought the small plants at the garden center, full sun, watered as we did the rest of the raised beds. We don't overwinter much because of our zone

[@capecodcottagegarden]

Those beds look so pretty. I love that they have the built in trellis'. I just did this same exact thing yesterday...refreshed my bed and even used the same soil. Except my raised beds are on the ground so I didn't add the potting mix. Do you guys add any fertilizer? I did a soil test this year and I learned so much about the health of my raised beds. P.S. I will be at my daughters outside of Albany this weekend so please tell the weather gods to make it gorgeous there!

[@growformegardening]

I don't think we will add anything when we plant. There will be some fertilizer along the way but this soil is magical
