START to FINISH diy BEFORE & AFTER Backyard Transformation! Wood to Metal Vego Garden Raised Beds

About:
This is a start to finish, all encompassing video where we convert our wooden raised beds to metal raised beds. In 2017 we created a garden using untreated wood (pine) for our raised garden beds. As the wood was natural and untreated it began to breakdown and rot in only 7 years. We choose Vego Garden raised beds as a replacement. In this video we share the complete transformation of this backyard garden space. I can't wait to turn this space into the cottage garden of my dreams with all of my cut flowers this season. @vego_garden #vegogarden #sustainabilityyourway @Coastofmaine
We hope this video brings you inspiration and encourages you to try some DIY garden projects in your landscape. Thank you so much for watching. - Steph 🌱(Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #gardening #spring #beforeandafter

I'm sorry but those vego beds are ugly. No one could pay me to put those into my garden, which has been designed for beauty for decades of work and toiling.

[@s.barlow7062]

Thank you for telling us this project took you six weeks. You have stirred my creative juices and now I’m gonna go get my husband and get outside and get some things done in my new raised bed garden. Thanks guys! ❤❤

[@grisespino5342]

Love the gravel… the sound under your feet. And less messy with so much rain. In my comment I forgot to mention that French drain you installed last year was a smart great addition.

[@kater8730]

@@fireflyrocks1 Not everyone has a sense of style and design in the garden. Perhaps you could use your energy to make something beautiful instead of wasting time with a derogatory Karen comment.

[@lanastewart7310]

Wow! I love this project! Looks awesome! I’m also very impressed with what a sweet husband you have that jumps right in to do all of the tough manual labor and construction! You are blessed! ❤

Hi Lana, He is wonderful. Thank you so very much for watching and for your sweet comment 💚

Big thanks to George for all the hard work and from getting over being camera shy you do excellent work and explaining everything

Absolutely the best garden project on KZbin this year. Such a beautiful transformation. Enjoy your new gardening space!

Thank you so very much Diane! 🌱💚

[@hylandgundy2698]

George is a good guy. You work well together. Your garden looks great.

[@sandybartlett7828]

You’ve got a great garden assistant! I appreciate that you give us the true time of the project because rain and life happens. It’s good for those of us who try to do it all in a day!, 😮😊

[@HookedandRooted]

Absolutely Sandy, we can make plans, but we can't predict life and the weather. Thank you so much.

[@hd1ab1]

My husband (also a George) has been in construction for 54 years and when I watch my videos he can be such a spoil-sport about how people go about their projects. 1st, he enjoyed George knew the Vego beds had "acorn" nuts and was thrilled to see him use his power tools to put it together!! Steph you got high points for using a roller when painting your fence!! He rarely watches all the way through any videos, but you all made it through 90%.😂 This was a beautiful transformation and I know you're going to enjoy going down to your cut flower garden. Great job!!

[@HookedandRooted]

How wonderful, George and I read this comment and smiled. Thank you for your kind words. So glad the two of you enjoyed the video 💚

[@ItsTrulyRachel]

You and George are kind and encouraging to one another. What a great team! Job well done.

I really like the way you’ve enclosed your raised bed garden. It’s very attractive and I think the stain really adds to the appearance.

[@cherylt6888]

Good Day. I love it when George gets involved and talks through what he is doing. He should do some videos on your channel as well. Doing things that he loves and explain what he is using and why. For example when he is mowing the lawn and does he do fertilize at the same time or when is it ideal to fertilize. The garden looks gorgeous. You both did a wonderful job.
