For manure, like black cow, be sure the cows have not fed on grass that's been treated with herbicide. There's a particular one but I forget the name. Black cow got contaminated once. If your plants sprout and do great, then after a foot or so high stop growing and kinda get yellowed, it could be contaminated manure. And it takes forever to get it out of the soil.
💯 spot on Realtalk Detail info! Why did I not set ra U se beds on bricks to prevent bending over? Did U put holds n bottom of the beds for water drainage? What does the worms n the beds do?
I really hate neighbors that complain about leaves or branches dropping off a tree onto their property like the owner should take up or pick up twigs and branches or leaves that land there rediculas.
After gardening for over 15 years I think a one foot garden bed is really not deep enough to grow some vegetables, especially given you put small branches. Next time you might want to consider a two foot deep garden bed. This advice is from many years of gardening.

Bennetts🙄 it never fails w these ones🤦 …..😉
Where to get the beds?
How can the roots get by the huge tree branch ?
Worms 🪱 and bugs 🐛🐜🐞🕷️ in general DO freak me out but I'm definitely going to just suck it up because I need my veggies to be healthy.
Imagine having a house 😢

Cardboard will be prone to Mold, the depots cannot break through the cardboard. Not sure you actually pulled this off
You think worms in the ground aren't going to show up for all of those worm yummy parts?😂
The method of layering organic material in beds is called Hugelkultur, means hill culture.

Im surprised by the filler. Those are very shallow beds and you lost 1/2 of your rooting area
These are great starter beds. Good job. Be mindful of what you plant for the first 2-3 seasons or so, until the bottom layers break down. Cheers 🥕 🍅
Fyi the yellow bags of garden soil come from human. I learned that when i worked at a nursery.
Tip
"wear gloves!"😂
Love it 🥰👌🏽
It will sink down. Cardboard only on bottom, then sticks, you need 12" at the very least and roots to get through ALL that card???
Nice
Nice
To be honest, there is far too much layering and not enough soil. I have the same ones.
I like what your creating, I subscribed!
Kellogg? Let us know how quick everything dies? I’m hoping you have success! 🙏🏼
