Justin Rhodes thank you so much

[@BrilliantLove2]

Justin Rhodes thank you!!! Maybe I can start a garden this spring!

[@michaeljesus4820]

Thank you for always providing free plans for such great things!

[@daviddeane3163]

Thank you so much. I watched the video where you were laying out the beds earlier today and was wondering about the build. Just got back on KZbin and there was this video! Have been having a hard time deciding which style to use, this might very well be the one I use. Very good looking beds-good job. Keep up the good work.

[@rickstevens5328]

Boards are on the inside for strength. The weight of the soil will push the boards off the other way.

[@LaurieChistine]

I completely agree with your wife. I like the look of the beds this way.

[@Flipflopbarnyard]

I love these beds! When we get our forever homestead, I want some just like them. My husband does lawn care for a living and has been building raised beds for clients. It's so exciting to see all of these people who want to grow their own food. 😀

[@slapouthomestead7018]

You're really going to enjoy these raised beds so close to the house! We used the wood from my Mom's dismantled deck to make ours (so...free!), and I love that I don't have to weed them. We also used the core gardening technique with sopping wet grass clippings from Luke at MIgardener and didn't have to water near as much. And you should see the worms! I love my raised garden beds!

[@RT69hemicharger]

After reviewing the material and build list for your boxes, as a "handyman" and "construction guy".... I have to say: "Well Done!" VERY nice plans and lots of value! Thanks! P.S. Great to see the kids getting bigger and having fun...

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Thanks, that means a lot coming from you.

[@RT69hemicharger]

DUDE!!!!!! I just notice you used the Hugel System! Awesome!

[@annetterose8948]

We staple woven ground cover to the inside of our raised bed walls it helps with rot resistants.

[@samuelshell3169]

Good for you! I found out about this way of filling our raised beds a few years ago. Such a money saver

[@lorihamrick9349]

I am with Beauty. I like the boards being on the outside. They look great.

[@matmilton9893]

Justin, Thank you so much for the plans, cutting list and hardware requirements

[@TheKamakuraGardener]

Those raised bed are fantastic! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Thanks!

[@crystalbiesbrock3828]

Absolutely LOVE the Member Area!!! So helpful and fun to be part of such an amazing group of like minded people😁

[@themuddypawshomestead1580]

Looking good guys , we're working hard here too. Getting our berries planted, gardens tilled, seeding pasture, planting seeds and after long days of hard work enjoying ur videos for inspiration and info ! Thanks again you are definitely blessed 🙏 so don't stress 😉

[@carsonguffey167]

They turned out so nice and very heavy duty. I know you are pleased and look forward to growing. Love you guys. God bless.

[@Flipflopbarnyard]

About the soil you buy being organic........ There was a huge fuel truck accident near us recently and they took all of the soil that was contaminated out. They are hauling it off to be burned and then they will bag it and sell it as topsoil in stores. Yes, like you said, organic soil is a must!

[@bodilheleneskumsrud6491]

They are actually beautiful!!Thank you,Justin!!🙌🙌

[@grod0051]

Thank you Justin!! Makes alot of sense to me. Those rough sawn are great aren't they? I used to get them a long time ago when I was working on my house before the flood of 93. I have a question about what some of the veggies are. Could you help?!?!.!? 1. Sunchokes cushaw spinach minutina and haskap. I've never heard of those. Now, I'm near St. Louis. I was a gardener up until I lost my hands so now I just watch others plant and enjoy the fruits of they're labor! I do go to the local farmers market and St. Louis's market. Lots of fun.

[@jenn997]

I love the way they look.

[@michellesalois903]

it faces in because then the weight of the soil pushes the boards onto their support instead of pushing them off and out. also your support boards will take longer to rot by not being in contact with the soil

[@homesteadwannabes]

It's always exciting when you upload!!

[@projects6946]

If your growing tomato in your raised bed you use arched trellis and train them upwards!

[@lucylavallee7867]

I was waiting for the hurricane rating. 😊

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

LOL. It's category 5 rating ;)

[@wolfpack3889]

Beautiful work

[@TheBanjoman]

love the raised bed idea. mount climber trellis or stakes to wood side for certain plants. just an idea

[@SB-rg8nf]

i like the siding on the inside too

[@bentleynoyes548]

Thanks I’ll be sure to print and look and might build it this summer

[@antondiscgolf6880]

Love your channel

[@scottrossgirvan8009]

Nice work man. I really want to build some for Denise.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Oh good.

[@jimmy-docs]

👍Thank you for all the great videos.

[@anna7118]

It totally made sense to me that Rebekah’s Dad would come up with this style with construction background. The sides look exactly like my grandpa’s old cement forms that he had.

[@kimrussell6081]

Thank you Justin

[@donotridetheturtleog3863]

New soil should be mushrooms grown first crop ,they clean the soil like nothing else

[@tsfishing1235]

Your my fav 💙✅

[@Csaba.TCsabi]

Hi! Nice work 👍👍👍☀️🌞🌱🐝😍 i like it

[@KellyBurnham]

Great looking beds. I get the intent of adding wood fiber to the bottom of the raised bed but wouldn't you be further ahead by using Wood Chips and even the Soiled Hay from the barn? Thanks for posting.

[@trainlgb]

Looks good

[@bentleynoyes548]

Great vid

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Welp, you can't please everyone I guess.

[@whoahotcowgirl01]

Later down the road do you think you'll put the hoopla canvas on it?

[@deanthornby2026]

Thank you thank you thank you

[@Goadenhomestead]

Thank you

[@Stashof420]

You can use the hill and gravity for a drip system. It could even be put on a timer. Love you all!

[@SB-rg8nf]

I do think it looks better with the siding inside.

[@queendidine]

Great video, and your sons did a great job!!! question are you in Alaska or North Carolina thanks?

[@deesnatas]

If you would have put the boards on the outside. It wouldn't have the braces to keep the boards from coming off. Do to the weight and pressure, of the soil on the Inside. Besides looks pimp, great job!

[@ShadowMemna]

AWESOME

[@reneebrown5598]

The other reasoning is the bowing of the walls. If the stress loads are on the outside of the walls they will have blowouts on your walls If you put the boards to the outside. Better design.

[@jfvan78]

Looks great! One question. I've always heard not to mix in wood (chips) with your soil otherwise it will rob the soil of nitrogen during the decomposition cycle. I realize the wood is at the bottom of your beds, but I wonder if the deeper rooted plants will be starved of nitrogen. Any thoughts?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

We're putting manure on top of the wood. Then over a foot of soil. We've heard good things about his method, so we'll just have to see.

[@krzysztofrudnicki5841]

Unfortunately in my country is cheaper to build raised beds with cinder blocks than cedar.

[@chehunter5905]

Are you going to get bees? Honey!

[@ciobanunicolae3114]

First comment

[@broadmeadowfarm233]

How do you plan to compensate for the nitrogen deficiency? When organic material breaks down it takes nitrogen from the surrounding area. Will you top dress with fertilizer to get the composting started?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

cow manure on top of the logs.

[@marygordon3032]

👍👍👍😎

[@isaacnegrete223]

Why are there dislikes on these videos???

[@barbaraguthrie5107]

I thought Big Pappa designed them.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Big Daddy, Beauty and I put our heads together and designed them :)

[@janaharris4683]

The 2x4 are probably not cedar and would rot .

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Thankfully, they're Cedar too, but you're right if they were pine they would be short lived.

[@peterslovak6390]

First today

[@HealthyFreshHomegrown]

Are you going to be capping those 4x4 posts with anything? Water is going to accumulate on top and soak in and rot them out. Also you will get water and dirt collecting on top of the bottom framing on the outside of the beds. Not what I would call long-lasting.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Yes

[@davidgill8922]

From a lifelong carpenter, builder, and construction manager ---- saying they've been designed is kinda laughable. I take time to allow the commercials on your page run, which is something not done for all. The pandering of details and offers of additional "members" areas from a very inefficient practitioner are very quickly growing old. Personally, I find the selling alienating to the point that I am typing this comment to let you know I consider my time taken to sit through a commercial to give you a profit share; is a gift not well appreciated at all.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

My deepest thanks for watching through the 30 seconds of commercials! Every bit helps. I'd added further value inside my products to help people in a deeper way. I've found that the majority of my customers are extremely happy and make BIG changes. Some customers are that just to express their gratitude for all the free content I provide. Again, thanks for giving back a little for the free content. Much appreciated.
