[@levyrogers6979]

Great video. I must say I look for your videos. They are well done and filled with agreat deal of information. Think you sir for not filling your videos with garbage. Well done sir. God bless

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Just trying to share things that work for me. Hopefully it will give others ideas to get started. Thanks for watching.

[@godsworkshop5563]

Thanks again for a great update. I really do enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is very relaxing. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

Great video 👍 did a beautiful job on your garden beds. Nice healthy plants. Greetings from Australia ❤️😀

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Always fun to get the garden started. KZbin makes the world seem small. Thanks for watching

[@roccoconte2960]

Those metal beds look great nice job good luck with the garden.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks . The beds are definitely very nice. Thanks for watching.

[@sandracunningham2689]

This was such a nice video to watch. All kinds of tips thrown in here and there. Still to cold here for to plant anything but my cold weather loving plants. My daffodils just died off yesterday. They even survived a snowstorm. I hope your family lives close to share in your wonderful bounty. That was a nice picture of your wife makes me think you are a very lucky man a beautiful woman that cooks delicious real food. I hope you have an abundant harvest this year.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

The weather here has finally started warming and it looks like danger of frost may be over for us. They are predicting high 70s by the weekend. That picture was almost 18 years ago and I am definitely lucky to have her. Hopefully it will be a great gardening season for everyone. Stay safe. Thanks for watching.

[@rodfair5698]

URH, I have one wish and that is for you and your wife remain healthy!! The reason is purely selfish. I want you to keep on making and publishing your videos that give me so much enjoyment! Thank you so very much. Sincerely, Rod

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

That's the plan. I have the best subscribers on KZbin. Thanks for watching.

[@lizhaydon2250]

I like the look of the raised beds. My issue is they are too low. I am putting in 30" high beds and they are better for my back. Filled bottom of them with hugelkultur method. Great inspirational video.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

That is a good idea and having beds that are comfortable for you to use will provide more enjoyment of the hobby. Thanks for watching.

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

Watching those potatoes go in rem8nds me of being a kid an helping my dad plant potatoes in the full moon. Wow flashback. Great video.....love watching u

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Hopefully the old potatoes will provide a new crop. Glad to see gardens are making a comeback this year. Thanks for watching.

[@troyadams1131]

My wife and I really enjoy your videos.And we look forward to watching your new one.We hope you have continued success in your garden and all of your different projects you do.God Bless to you and yours.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Hoping everyone has a great gardening season this year. Thanks for watching.

[@Chinkybebe]

You work so hard and meticulous. Your garden looks great!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Finally getting it finished up. Thanks for watching.

[@ericroadking7564]

great work!! Love your attention to detail!!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. It feels good to finally be finishing the area up. Thanks for watching.

[@pamelaprescott6408]

Just ran across your Channel you're amazing.The way you repurposed everything you need to save you some money "quite a bit." And also love the way you removed those posts out of the ground .So smart except you needed a helper ,would have been easier on your legs and back. Your plants are looking great I just got my small things out today want to start a raised bed next year if God's willing take care God bless I'll be watching. Thanks for the ideas

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. I am switching over to all raised beds because they are easy to care for and very productive plus have good drainage compared to the soil in the garden. Hopefully you will find other videos that interest you. Thanks for watching.

[@spyk1486]

We don't have our garden sectioned off like that in raised beds but we have a regular tilled garden. Weather is like yours. We finally managed our potatoes and onions. Have garlic, Kale and bunching onions up from last year. Hoping our newly planted strawberries will survive. Keep on truckin'!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Strawberries can stand some cold so they should survive. Looks like the weather will start improving this week. Good luck with your garden. Thanks for watching.

[@rcwoody2]

Beautiful Garden so far as always. Thank you for sharing and in such detail also. I' have learned so much from you over the last couple years or so.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

You are so welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@terrykunst3883]

Wow, those are some of the nicest plant starts I’ve seen anywhere on KZbin! Really great job. Can’t wait to see all that you’re able to harvest later in the season.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Using the new miracle grow organic potting soil this year made a difference. Hopefully we have a great growing season. Thanks for watching.

[@tarapitchford2635]

Love your garden! Looks great!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks.

[@katseyeview9354]

thats the same raised bed i bought! its also my first. and i am loving it! red leaf lettuce, yellow onions, green onions, corn (for the beans), broad leaf spinach, a few flowers to attract the bee's, radishes, green beans and luffa...today i am finishing my gourd tunnel, which will be between the bed, and my shed.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

They definitely are nice raised beds. Some gourds can grow very long vines. My birdhouse gourds grew 75 feet long 😲. Thanks for watching.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Got everything looking good around there and the garden is really good. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Finally getting everything cleaned up again. Looks like better weather is finally coming. Thanks for watching.

[@rosea830]

Your garden looks great!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Can't wait to see more green in the boxes. Thanks for watching.

[@pjd2709]

Those new garden beds look amazing, I'm going to check them out!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I really like them so far. Just the right size for my needs. Thanks for watching.

[@lorellstoneman74]

It's inspiring to watch your orderly methods thanks for sharing.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@marcusskidmore7290]

Thanks for the update, keep up the good work!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@pennysantana7809]

The new beds look nice, you will have to let us know how they work out with holding the heat.. I like the look and longevity of the idea of the metal. Love watching plz stay safe 🙏💖

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

We all will get to see how they hold up. Stay safe. Thanks for watching.

[@kprairiesun]

I like your nice neat garden. Drives me crazy to see some of these gardens that are like a crazy quilt! Try Hog wild bbq sauce. They are in Hiutchinson KS and now in Wichita, Salina etc. But, I think their sauce is best. I like it better than sweet baby Ray's and better than all the other kinds in KC and everywhere. It has a hint of chili powder flavor but not spicy

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I have tried some of the KC sauces and don't really like them. For wings the Sweet Baby Rays Wing Sauce is our favorite and everyone that visits requests them and raves about them. Thanks for watching.

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

Good video. Thanks.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@oddopops1327]

Great Video!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@Sailabear11]

You have such a pleasant disposition coupled with amazingly practical methods. Looks like you could have a very successful cooking channel too. Love those wings brother! Thanks for sharing your great ideas. I’ve been looking at those Northern beds too. They were out locally but it looks like they’re worth the wait. Your great show sold me. Rock on!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thank you so much 😊. There is a video about making the wings back a couple years. The beds are made of very thin material but work good. I think they will last for many years if you're careful. Seeds and raised beds are hard to find this year with so many starting gardens. Thanks for watching

[@Theyrun]

This is one of the best raised bed gardens I've seen. very nice detail in your videos. You are a one person show? Does your wife ever help you? My wife does more of the work outside then I do some weeks.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. It is so much easier to care for then the old big garden. My wife used to do a lot but now has serious back issues with severe double scoliosis causing lots of pain and tries to do what she can to help anymore. It's tough getting old. Thanks for watching.

[@HomeGardenNature]

Look so good & sturdy!😊

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Hopefully these last. Thanks for watching.

[@BadgerBarnes]

Just ordered some of these myself. I remember watching this video when you posted it and just went back and re-watched part 1 and 2. I'm extending my garden for the fall and decided on these. Also, random suggestion; Have you considered doing an "about me" video or something? I think it would be super interesting to hear your back story. Such as how you got started woodworking and gardening, where you learned to do so. I think ive heard you mention you're retired, I always find myself trying to guess what your occupation is/was.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I was Unemployed for 13 years before retiring. I was a mechanical design engineer replaced by H1B visa workers that got mad and dropped out of the workforce. Best thing I ever did. I helped bring a lot of the high tech products we use today to life. Thanks for watching.

[@BadgerBarnes]

No way, that’s really cool. I’m glad you came out on top. Well, I always enjoy watching you videos. I learn something every time. Also, I’m a mechanical design engineer myself. I work in the aerospace industry. I got into Woodworking first and now gardening.

[@kcmgfarm2389]

Looks great 👍

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@joinmeinthedirt5186]

It’s looking so good, I enjoy watching your progress.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. I am so far behind this year with the terrible weather and covid19 shutdowns. Thanks for watching.

[@Kathy-ny4pu]

Thank you for sharing.

[@betsyyoung3781]

Awesome mahi Thank you

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Looking forward to see how the new beds work out. I been looking at them myself.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Time will tell. I think they will outlast me. Thanks for watching.

[@Hunter-yc4xi]

You use the same methods for driving conduit that I do. Been using conduit for my tomato cages and cattle panel for over 20 yrs. I don’t have my garden planted yet either. It’s been raining about every other day and the temps have been running 10 to 20 degrees below normal and I live down here in the Kansas City area. Still feels like March down here!

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

The conduit works good for things like this and is easy to find. We have a record cold may so far and I just stopped firing up the woodstove the end of last week. This comming week looks good for planting. Thanks for watching.

[@charlottesmart750]

Looks really great

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for.

[@milo6258]

What type if metal material? Do you think it is gonna oxidized/rushed? What is your expectancy out if these metal raise beds?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

It all depends on the quality of the galvanization and acidity of your soil. May last 10 years or could last 50 years but I am not sure. Time will tell. Thanks for watching.

[@cindybonem494]

Ok, that was mean to show us your chicken wings and not offer us so much as a smell😉they looked delicious. Your yard is beautiful and so is your garden.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Indirect crabapple smoked wings with sweet baby Ray's wing sauce are my favorite start to summer 😋. Smellovisionis not far off. Thanks for watching.

[@charleslawler7567]

Good job bud

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

Good looking dirt in potato bed. I found a seed planting tool like you showed on Amazon, figure I will try it

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

That's the last of my compost in there. That is one handy little tool. Bought it years ago and have never seen another. Let me know how yours works out. Thanks for watching.

[@micheleyates3625]

That looks very handy; I need one of those!

[@casycasy5199]

love to see a video of the weights you have on your tractor

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

There is one from last fall about them. Search my channel for weights. Just low cost weight plates. Thanks for watching

[@Kathy-ny4pu]

Thank you for sharing.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@vrock265]

Good job. Place is looking great. Amazing how long the PT posts lasted. I am lucky to get 6 years out of them. We have terminator tough subterranean termites. 😂

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. You may want to find locust posts. They definitely are harder to chew then the soft treated posts. Wonder if those termites are toughened up by eating the chemicals in the posts. Thanks for watching.

[@ДедМартыненко]

Рассада классная !

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks for watching.

[@lenpellerin]

Hello brother from South Louisiana. I really like your channel. Very informative. I'm wondering if you have a link to share regarding the bees in the wind. I like them. Keep gardening and sharing of information.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I have a couple videos about,making them. One using plywood that didn't last long and another rebuilding them with plastic wood. Search my channel for bees. Thanks for watching.

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

Watching you pull those posts I would hear in my head "Like Butter Baby!" On every one, lol

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Wow you have great hearing. Didn't think anyone could hear that over the tractor noise 😯. Thanks for watching.

[@pattytown3403]

Where did you get the bee wind things?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Built them. There's a video about making them back a ways. Thanks for watching.

[@gaellemaz3727]

Where can I get a man like you? I have a beautiful property by the river and I want to do lots of things but, I live alone. The men in the area are not very helpful. They are more into all-terrain vehicles and drinking beer. I need a man who can do the stuff you do. Very smart. I bet you never stop.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Once you outgrow the ATVs and beer things start getting done. Been there done that. It takes a while to grow up and realize whats important in life. Thanks for watching,

[@foxglove8836]

Looking really good :-) I had 3 lettuce come up lol every think else is fine.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. Good thing is the weather is finally warming up so everything can go in this week. Thanks for watching.

[@pitasahm]

I'm curious, when you planted the potatoes, why did you take off all the eyes? I thought that was what you needed to grow the new plant?

[@micheleyates3625]

It looks like he removed only the sprout, not the eye. It will regrow.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Those sprouts were black at the end and would not grow any further so I just removed them so there would not be rot to attract bugs in the soil. Plenty of un sprouted eyes and I hope they will grow something. Thanks for watching.

[@kevin86674]

Hey man I just looked at their page and you cannot build a wood one for the price they are. Thanks for sharing I will for sure look into buying some.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

These were $49 but sold out quickly. Looks like they now have a different model that is made from a slightly thicker metal for $59 which isn't too bad. Thanks for watching.

[@mrsclfb9697]

What is your planting zone? Just curious. I'm 7b/8a. You must be farther north. Thank you.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

We are in 6a. Thanks for watching.

[@egopat15]

Hi Unemployed.....?are you kidding me, You're very much employed and I am not joking. Wow I love your energy. I want to be like you when I grow up. Could you please send a link for the company you bought your tractor from. All your links could be useful, you never know. Many thanks and good job. Commenting from the 🇬🇧

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. I bought the tractor 22 years ago and it has had enough problems that I wouldn't recommend buying a used one. That one is a John Deere 4100 and my other is a Kubota BX2360 that has been trouble free so far. Thanks for watching.

[@pamelaprescott6408]

I forgot to ask what do you use for bracing on your new beds🌻 I went to Northern Tool and they don't have braces with them.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

This style came with center braces but they sold out quickly and the replacements they were able to get look to be made of slightly thicker metal and don't need braces from the description. Thanks for. watching

[@godsworkshop5563]

May I ask, what did you do before you retired from 9-5 workdays?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Mechanical design engineer that was replaced by H1B Visa workers got mad and dropped out of the workforce 15 years ago. Best thing I ever did.

[@dhoyt1967]

We planted potatoes this year and I have no idea how to tell when there done. HELP: how do you know when to harvest?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

They are ready when the tops die back . We pull some early for the tiny tender new potatoes. Watch for Colorado potatoe beetles and remove any you find because they can destroy the crop. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

How long do you reckon the galvanized will last? Rust?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I don't know when used in ground contact like this. I am guessing 20 years or more and time will tell. Thanks for watching.

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

Do you put fertilizer in with the potatoes ? I noticed you put a whole tater in instead of cutting it, just curious why?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

The compost and I will sprinkle some miliorganite on the beds to keep animals away every once in a while. I thought they could rot if cut 🤔. Thanks for watching.

[@TheFlyingotto]

Nice. Making any cider or wine still these days?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Have a carboy of wine ready to bottle when I get time. Tried a Concord grape elderberry combination that I can't wait to try. Didn't do cider the last 2 years because I still have a good supply that has aged to perfection. Thanks for watching.

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

Do you have slugs and if so how do you deal with them?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

No slugs but I understand they like beer if you put it in a shallow dish. Thanks for watching

[@jason-white]

How long dose that much wood last for you?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

There is enough for next winter. Thanks for watching.

[@br3741]

Found the little hand seeder on walmarts website.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

It's a great helper if you deal with small sneeds. Your the second one that has found them. Thanks for watching.

[@JakeJohnson_80]

Did you make all those bees yourself?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Yes. I tried some plastic ones from the store first and the winds tore them up quickly. Thanks for watching 44.

[@Capt4141]

I still think those old pool panel’s are the best things I’ve seen for raised beds....

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I agree with you. I tried to get several large companies to make them but none were interested. I think they would be very profitable and my panels are over 50 years old. Probably why there is no winters interest as they last a lifetime. Thanks for watching.
