Awesome raised beds.... Great ideas.

[@tylerironside3915]

Love that she included wheelchair accessible beds too. She’s awesome

[@xyzllii]

You are a truly passionate gardener...who mixes the old with new.

[@hughcrewproductions3232]

These are Great. Love the the rustic look. And it's so easy to re-purpose old materials to make these. Thanks for the ideas

[@davidhuddart9262]

Excellent work, as a Building Contractor I'm always looking for ideas and designs .I must admit the space between does look a bit tight but as you say you can manage ,and it gives you maximum growing area.Your videos are excellent .

[@supercook61]

Love love love this way of gardening.:)

[@deegeraghty9426]

Great ideas but as an elderly person living alone, I think I will buy ready-made raised beds in natural materials ! Thanks

[@ginafriend1690]

Hi. Im new to you. Have watched a few. I like how you educate. Very informative and interesting. Thank you!

[@Optimist788]

Thank you sharing your knowledge. We’re in the midst of building our garden this summer and putting in the bones such as a shed, grape arbor, greenhouse as cold frames ,half way there.We’re going to build raised beds as that’s what I’ve used in the past as well. This garden being so much bigger it would be cost prohibitive to build with the cedar timbers as we did. I know the galvanized tin with tea wash and trellis on some/all will look good. I’m looking forward to filling up the beds in preparation for next season. Enjoying your videos.

I love your channel Bunny! Now subscribed!

[@BarriosGroupie]

Wow, so creative!

[@oliveandoak1533]

Good information. You should do one video every week.

[@tanjowil9743]

I agree the width only need to be what you need.

[@johnborges5938]

I find the beds last longer if the wood posts are placed on the outside of the box formed by the metal sheeting, so that all of the soil is encased in the metal and the wood is not in contact with the soil.

[@DixieGirl9876]

I totally agree with the path size, maximize the growing space, I did our raised garden beds with just enough space between for a small wheelbarrow to fit through. With plenty of space in our in ground garden we do wide paths between rows (usually 100 foot long rows). We grow as much of our own food as we can. (Cold storage, canned and dehydrated.) Love your videos!

[@sandrasaunders1815]

I use a child size wagon to carry our the garden trash/harvest, and tools.etc. I advise a wider space between beds. Once they are installed it’s permanent.

[@rksoo91]

I was researching about raised bed, and how to make them without breaking the bank. I finally settled on making them with concrete . I would love to hear your opinion on this or anyone else who has experience with this . Thank you

[@DavinStewart]

6:01 "... so I can perch my bum on them, which is lovely." Me: Yeah, it is girl.

[@jennistevenson796]

This is a great video. The beds look amazing.My reluctance for raised beds is it would introduce habitat for slugs and snails. Do you find this ?

[@bunnyguinness]

Charles Dowding thinks they do, but Ive used raised beds for over 30 years and I disagree. If you do get a slug or snail problem have a look at my video ’50 years of Slugs and Snails My Experiences'.

[@skinnursern5852]

Could you explain the process of the tin tea wash in another video? Or refer to another source for the info. I've not heard of that before. Thank you!

[@grahamthomas411]

I looked on KZbin it's just tea but wait for her reply just a thought

[@idahofiberart]

I would like to know the recipe for the galvanized tea wash also. Please share.

[@biwallace]

Love your gardens Bunny! I’m just concerned that the heavy metals may leach into the produce. Is that a problem? XOP

[@bunnyguinness]

Hi, many thanks for your comment. No metal that we use is not the heavy metal type, it is just mild steel. Heavy metal examples are mercury, cadmium and such like.

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

I wonder do you have really long sunny and warm weather in England ?

[@slorichardson18]

Depends on where you are comparing us to? But we have rain in abundance so very productive.

[@jessemiller2858]

What do you do to maintain your area

[@bunnyguinness]

You mean my own garden?

[@kathleenplante6822]

Did you say you use pressure treated lumber on the inside of your corrugated raised beds??? Hopefully you only grow ornamentals in those and not food. Unless, of course, pressure treated in England is entirely different then that in the US.

[@bunnyguinness]

Hi, I line the sides (but not the base) of the raised beds with black poly, it also slows down the breakdown of the wood.🐇

[@massi7idarifi428]

wrong scrw , you should use hot dipped

[@jeffbarbour2194]

Isn't lead a health issue ?

[@sandrasaunders1815]

Not sure about lead near food/vegetables? Lead should never be ingested.

[@pinkpeony2056]

It's not lead. The metal is treated so it resembles lead.

[@inglishhomeandgarden8386]

Looks great! Check out 'Sara's Kitchen Garden' for growing veg throughout winter!

[@bildahome]

We all know this... but whats wrong with you’re voice ?

[@hobnob4224]

So jarring to hear you cite dimensions in the ludicrous, inhuman metric system. Units of measurement in the hundreds are foreign to the human body and things at hand. Fine for centipedes and millipedes though. All this talk of millimeters in the garden sounds like an infestation.

[@loriscook5231]

Sorry USA most of the world now uses metric measurements. I was an adult when my country changed, its much easier.
