It's not about the size of the raised bed it's about how you use it! 😂
Thank you Luke❣️. This was a hard lesson learned for me as a beginner. Vertical growing, over planting and not considering the arch of the sun and plant competition were hard lessons. Nice job explaining 👏👏👏
Good info!
Much better explanation Luke! That’s the point I was making with my previous comment. Appreciate your humility. ❤
Good logic
Plants weren't the only things spaced out… Lol
For the amount of great info you provide a little hiccup isn't the end of humanity.
This video explains so much for me! I always thought the "nodes" of cucumber/squash plants needed to be in the soil – but they don't need to be!
Thanks Luke! 💗
Someone’s going to be eating a lot of zucchini hee hee hee!! I understood your first video, but this clarified it even more. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom…twice🌞✨!
Great tip and your videos are always enjoyed and appreciated Luke! Been following you probably 7-8 years now, love seeing the development and growth and how the passion for gardening, farming, and helping others continues and comes through in your videos 😊 And yes, this made perfect sense this time around
Great info. Thanks for sharing, Luke!
Once you plant corn, you learn quickly that you consider not square footage, but instead cubic footage.
You have to plant small plants on the south side of the bed, and tall plants/ trellis plants on the north side of the bed so that the small plants are not shaded.
I've been gardening for over 50 yrs. I started my foray into raised bed gardening in the high tunnel for the 1st time this spring. I live in an area with a short season so I put as much as I can in the high tunnel to extend the season. I planted brassicas in a 2 1/2'x8'. That poor bed was over filled in about a week. There is 4 green cabbage, 4 red cabbage, 4 collards and 4 dinasoure kale. The green cabbage and the callerds look great. The kale looks healthy,but thin. The red cabbage looks like it's making its own space draping over the side. I won't plant that heavy again.
Powdery mildew always destroying my zucchinis, even if I only water them at the morning.
Please change the title of this video🥺. You do not deserve hate—that is quite severe! Lighten up people, we are just gardening and learning about how to space plants 🌱🌱🌱💗. Take a breath and show some kindness.
The prior video made sense. I attempt to use vertical space as much as possible to maximize yields.
This was very well explained and clear, thank you Luke!
Square foot gardening by Mel Bartholomew. Best book ever.
i learned stuff from both videos
I'm sorry you received "hate" for attempting to share your knowledge with the rest of the gardening community and didn't explain everything perfectly. I think sometimes we forget that gardening is highly variable and no matter how much experience one has, there is always more to learn. You can tell us everything you have learned, but you don't have all knowledge and all wisdom. While we can learn alot from you, each one of us will have different results because weather, climate and even life is always changing. There are so many variables in gardening, that you can't possibly guarantee our results. We can watch your videos and take notes, but it would be a good idea to still seek other sources, as well and even then, gardening is still variable. Each climate is different…you are in Michigan…I am in Missouri. That alone, means that even if I plant everything you do, at the same time if year, with the same amount of water and fertilizer…I will still have different results. Weather is changeable and cyclical. Some years are hotter and some cooler. Some years are ridiculously dry and others so wet, only a duck would rejoice. That's why it is important for us to have multiple sources of information, but also keep annual gardening journals…because gardening is a journey, not a destination and 100% perfect results are never guaranteed! But thanks for listening to people's questions and attempting to answer them. We appreciate your hard work.❤
I understood what you were saying in the previous video as well, but this one lays it out very nicely. Thanks for all you do! It helps so much to learn from your channel, particularly since you are in a similar growing climate. 😁
Complaints? Hate? Your videos are great, even the one in question. I have learned SO much from you and other video makers… and I got all that teaching completely free! Thank you.
