Lol...that's my mom that won the give away. If anyone cares. Her name is Paj but pronounced Page like a book. She got super excited and sent me this video since we do gardening and said check out the video. 😂

Repurpose an old leaky garden hose to use as an edge protector. Slit along its length. It'll hold up to UV and time.

I like that this video isnt a plug for your own line of raised beds, but genuine and wholesome advice. Cheers!

I love ALL The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni videos!

If you have an exposed edge on a metal raised bed, a pool noodle may help? Yay, Tuck! ❤❤❤ Congratulations to the winner of last week's raised bed!

Tuck licking his chops thinking about eating the asparagus was all of us haha. Looks like a yummy harvest ahead!

Congrats Paj on your new bed. I think Tuck want to give away a seed starting kit.

I think you should come up with a James Prigioni new gardener seed starter package. A few of your most favorite varieties for a new Gardener.

Congratulations to Pag! And 💕💕💕💕💕 to Tuck! This is a really good one on the pros and cons of the different raised beds. Ours are made by Vita, a resin key hole style we got on sale at Costco. They are 2’ high. And holding up well so far. My neighbor has the metal ones you have now. I really like the look, and all of the accessories that are available. Very cool!

Congratulations to the winner !

we just built 2. of the basic raised beds out of cedar...they'll last quite abit longer. We're going to be making the PVC toppers too. Thats such a great idea, so versatile!

Congratulations Patch!! Enjoy your Raised bed! :)

I use many of your techniques in our raised bed gardens here in East Tennessee. We use concrete blocks, 2 high, stacked, no mortar. We are going into our fifth year with them. No rust. No rot. And they stand up well when hit by a new zero turn mower.

We gathered free heat treated pallets and nailed them together, as is, to make square raised beds. Lined the beds to contain the materials and filled with tree branches and chunk’s. Then soil, compost, peat moss and such. I’m able to stand by the raised beds to plant and harvest. Being in my 70’s, stooping or kneeling is no longer an option so the 4 pallet beds we have work great. We’re able to eat the produce directly from the garden!

Congrats on winning your bed pai❤🎉

HEARTS for Tuck, the best Garden Dog!

Ya gotta be careful with pallet wood. Sometimes they are treated with chemicals.

Congratulations to the winner of the raised bed. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤'s to Tuck!!!

I have 9 high metal raised beds (30-32 inches tall - from Birdies and Vego) and 10 regular galvanized metal raised beds (11-12 inches tall - no name from Amazon) in my 8500 square foot food forest. I bought all light and dark green, so they blend in better. Love that custom netting you are using in the metal raised beds. I saw that but didn't buy it. I use tulle (think bridal veil material if you are not familiar with tulle). It's so much cheaper than those custom covers and keeps the tiny pests out while letting sunshine and water in. I have also used plain wood and cedar raised beds in the past and still have 10 of them in use. I prefer the metal ones, especially the taller ones. I am 68 and they are great for senior citizens; you don't have to bend or crawl on the ground. to tend them. As always, thanks for the video, James. Happy growing!
