Likely growing giant runner beans and a mish mash of some other stuff. I love the backyard garden being more free-form and less planned, makes for a lot of gardening magic.

Welcome Jacques to the Epic Gardening fam!
I 100% agree with the notion that a good till to start the system is not a bad idea. Here in the high desert that’s what I did last season and I was very pleased with the results. We shoveled fairly deep and then worked in all sorts of organic material with a borrowed tiller. From here on out, I’ll just be top dressing with good layers of compost each season and continue to mulch the paths to keep weeds down and continue to feed the soil.
Hey Kevin, what's your opinion on City water?
Wonderful video
I was wondering where you got your seed organizer at?
What kind of scraper tool were you using to remove the weeds?
I set up an in-ground bed a few weeks ago. I got compost and wood chips for free off Facebook for it! I’m so excited to grow in it!
This is a really good video. I've opened a new garden space and have only deep mulched half. In the other half, this spring, I am going to do traditional in ground rows with soil amendments. Save me alot of time and still get a good yield. Then when the season is over, I will deep mulch it.
Do you ship to Canada? I tried to order your starting trays, and it says there was no shipping options and will not place the order.
Enjoy your videos, but this simple bed takes a lot more than 30 minutes in clay soil fir a 64 year old lady. I’ve got to quit pretending I’m 30. 🤣
So awesome we get to see the process and the progress!
How do you recommend we clear out weeded areas quickly and without harmful chemicals so we can create some in ground beds like this?
I like using a pick axe for losening soil.
Enjoying every episode : }
like how water get fertilizer soak deep dirt.
Great progress! I wish I could use my city's compost, but it uses biosolids and I just can't with that.
Exactly the inspiration I need!!!!
Hi,
I live in Florida. I have no worms in my ground. It's mostly sand and clay. Can I make the same soil bed?
I love all the WE, WE, WE, did this, while Jacques is working his ass off and Kevin is doing all the filming. Let Jacques do some filming of Kevin(Eric) working his ass off… LOL, love all the videos, you have pushed me to start growing again!
Something that I found that goes quicker than a broad fork is pickaxe. The only thing with a pick is it hurts your back more.
