[@Mel-vr2cl]

I'm glad the raised bed worked out for your porch. The tarps made a great improvisation to create a bottom for the raised bed. Tarps are so helpful for so many things! Good thinking...

[@olympewalser4865]

Thank You Tessie 🤎🌻🕯️🪔🕊️🌱Good job the family👍Take Care

[@penniematney9959]

I've never used dehydrated soil before! I really like raised beds to. God bless u.

[@kesmarn]

Tessie, you've shown us dehydrated veggies and fruits, and dehydrated herbs. But I think dehydrated potting soil is a first here! That is so cool -- and it would take up so much less space to store before using it. Love your and Scott's solution to the "no bottom" raised gardening bed. You two make a great team.

[@pama.6410]

Love the problem solving! Can't wait to see the progress! Noticed ads are popping up in the beginning, middle and end. No biggy, but thought they were going to be once a video.

[@cynthiamaiolo4147]

My local Walmart had that soil on clearance last year. It was $2 or $3 a block so I stocked up and got 12 blocks. That is how a buy most my garden supplies-- end of the year clearance

[@NJ-xp4eb]

That is a bargain. Potting soil and compost if cheap here is gone nearly always same day. I got a beautiful pair of garden gloves last year in the clearance 16 reduced to 2.

TY, I have had a vinyl raised bed just like that for years and it is very hardy because it has not deteriorated at all. I have a tunnel out back now and have high raised beds because of my health, but I think that would be great for climbing planting - if room, I might try it.

[@docsusun3667]

WOWSER! THATS SO HIP!! I believe this may be the answer to my 10x12 foot area of rocks. I do not want to move all those rocks to a large garbage can...OR TWO.... Till the soil and plant. This could be a very easy cool idea for my gardening space. We have to make do with what we have, especially when renting. I need to have Scott come over!! My pantry shelves are not put together yet and I'm ordering the compost bricks and raised container! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Pray that I can find a neighbor who wants to earn extra money!

Hi Robin:)

[@jaynelymer6442]

I like the raised bed it would also make a good cold frame too I thought you could put your pots inside then clip plastic on like you did. It's fun to hear Chevy Man, Scott and you all interacting together, made me laugh when Scott suggested you could put Chevy Man in there for Time Out 🤣🤣 I could just see him !!! The expanding compost is really a great idea. Fun video Tessie, lots of love to you 💕💖💕

[@annketring8214]

Love the video Tessie, great content and ideal for small planting spaces. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

[@MeowVicious]

What’s funny is I almost bought that same raised bed when I bought the little greenhouse like you have. I am going to see if I can find a bag or two of the coconut compressed dirt to try that out. My next thing I am hoping to buy is a little shed to keep all the garden stuff in. Thanks so much for showing this because I too thought it had a bottom on it.

[@MeowVicious]

Oh and now the prices on the greenhouses have went up so much so I am glad I bought when I did. There’s a half hoop one I also liked and had on my wishlist.. was $109 and the other day I saw it was up to $149! That’s a huge increase in price. Got the little one like you for a little under $50 and it’s out of stock and similar are $60-70 now. One thing I like about shopping online is I can save items and watch for a deal without driving to the stores.

You can also do what some people do and use children's kiddie pools for planters on your deck! They have as few sizes and they are inexpensive some are sturdier than others and you can spray paint the outside! Will that planter fill up with rain water after the plants germinate or did yo put a hole or two on the bottom to drain under the deck?? God Bless!

[@HomesteadTessie]

I put holes in it :)

[@caroldeaton619]

That was a lot of dirt. And when you were saying about no bottom that's what came to my mind was a tarp for your deck. And then I thought and I know that would probably rott out your deck. But I guess for just spring that long not going to hurt it. Now just sit and wait for all the beauty that comes out of there. I love it and I love you. Take care God bless see you tomorrow evening💙⭕.

[@tracynewton1208]

A pool noodle with a single cut long ways and put over the edges of your metal sides could act like a bumper and keep your tarp held down! Just a thought ..
