Creating a Garden Space That Will Last - Before building your raised garden beds

[@stuckinthe80s2.0]

You are multi talented and detail oriented. Your videos are amazing as you explain each process so well. One of the most hard working people I’ve seen. Happy gardening and keep those videos coming as it encourages more people to want to grow their own vegetables, fruits and flowers.

I've been a gardener/ garden designer/horticulturist in So Cal for almost 50 years. I'm usually quite successful, but your vids and methods make me feel like a HACK! Many thanks for your enthusiasm, attention to detail and complete installation videos. I'll be doing this work happily for the rest of my life. Your work has changed my whole approach and work. All the best!

[@laticiaduenas]

My husband & I watched this video probably 14 times to get everything set up for our garden. Thank you so much for putting the time into these videos, and the way you set the video up made it easy for us to refer back to and check our work. We ripped out our lawn & im so excited for the front yard garden.

[@emilybenedetto3607]

😂same!

[@Hippie-Nomads]

My God! This project is the most complex on this side of the London Gardens! It's hardened in case of nuclear war. While this is a fantastic channel, the time and money investment to do a project to this degree of completion scares the hell out of 75% of would-be gardeners. There are other ways to achieve results without this level of execution. Make no mistake, that this is not criticism rather a rare YT declaration of excellence. But I'm exhausted just watching it.

Your knowledge, work ethic, and ability to teach are absolutely second to none. You have done an amazing job of transforming your property and you are an encouragement to all of us as we continue to either start and/or improve our gardens.

Absolutely incredible. I’m browsing KZbin to see some ideas for raised garden beds for my aging parents. They love to garden but still do it old school and planting directly onto the floor. Your video is meticulously made and your raised beds look like they will last decades. There’s so much work put into the leveling of the floor that it’s a bit intimidating. Thank you for sharing your work. I can only hope that I can create something decent like your garden. 💚

[@knylande]

Thank you Kyle for showing what's possible here in Sacramento! With your inspiration I finished Part 1 of my dream garden just in time for this spring planting. My dad told me to leave a comment here telling you we had a blast building two redwood raised beds (4'x13') and (4'x15') out in my front yard with river rock paths. You did a thorough job, at some times crossing the line of OCD when it comes to growing vegetables. Don't worry, I danced that line the whole time with my project as well when I was treating the raised beds like furniture pieces. Attention to detail and a little extra thought in the process makes work like ours stand above the rest. Next Project is transforming my old in ground garden space in the backyard to a fruit tree forest like you did as well. Keep up the dedicated work and best of luck this growing season!
