I bought 10 of those raised beds this winter, I’m really excited about switching part of my garden over to raised beds. My goal is to eventually change about half of it to raised beds and the rest will be for in ground stuff that requires a larger planting area.

[@sherrylingenfelter8991]

I love the pellets idea. Bribery! Chickens like to scratch around. Hide & seek. Go find the yummy treat. 😎😆

Hi Travis, I use small electric hedge clippers to cut back high vegetation and drop it. Works great in monkey grass and weeds around our pond (so hubby doesn’t get the Zero turn stuck)! Easy pleasy!

[@kevindavis3841]

I would love to see your worm farm set up under the pecan tree!

[@susanpayne5592]

I cut and turned over Kodiac Brown mustard in one of my 4x8 feet raised beds on Tuesday. Unfortunately the bed has root knot nematodes. Gardening is my favorite exercise!

I love the idea of cover crops in a raised bed....I would love it if you would package and sell cool season cover crop seed... you know, for those of us that aren't up to speed on the where and what...

[@LazyDogFarm]

I get all my cover crop seed from Green Cover Seed online. Their website is a wealth of information. Sometimes I buy their mixes, other times I make my own mixes.

You could use a KAKURI Grass Sickle, Kana style sickle. Works great for terminating cover crops.

[@hardstylzz5024]

You could put 2 or 3 hens in that raised bed put some t post around the outside use some heavy 5' tall netting you get at Tractor Supply add 3ft piece up top with dollar store clips shouldn't take long to do. I do that all the time with my chickens i section off few areas when ready netting helps alot.

[@pamelaroden5513]

Interesting, I am definitely going to try that.

[@terryfink6222]

I live in zone 10a what cover crops should I use for summer in my raised beds. Thanks a million

[@KarlKarsnark]

Cairo = Kay-ro........you're legit ;)

[@cmchatton1680]

Travis, Where do you buy your rapeseed, Alaskan Brown mustard, and other cover crops from? Thank you very much! Love your videos and seeing that beautiful family of yours, working on the farm! John McHatton

I get most of my stuff from Green Cover Seed online.

[@yolandasgrow1311]

Hey, do you have any of the okra that you had last year that grows long without getting hard?

[@LazyDogFarm]

We do. Right here: lazydogfarm.com/products/dwarf-cowhorn-okra-seed

[@mudmaker2133]

Hi Travis, just wondering how long you leave the raised bed before planting? Thanks Jacqui

[@LazyDogFarm]

Should be ready in just a couple weeks after doing this.

[@mudmaker2133]

@@LazyDogFarm Thank you Travis for getting back to me.

[@justbeachy4666]

How long will you need to wait before you can plant seeds (or transplants) in the raised bed after the cover crop has been terminated?

[@LazyDogFarm]

A couple weeks.

[@jimmygibson2261]

[@LazyDogFarm]
