Thank you so much for this Angela. I’m heading over to your website right now! ❤❤❤
Hi Angela, Do use any fertilizer for your plants throughout the season? I love your videos!
Hi Angela, thank you for your videos. Can you recommend a mulch seller that is located in AZ? Thanks.
🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you for the information 🥰🥰🥰👏🏻😘
Angela, does the irrigation grid shoot water out of the perimeter piping towards the bed frame, or just towards the center of the squares? I have 4×10 beds. The 3×8 grids will work if they also shoot towards the wood. From your video I can’t tell if they do. I see they shoot in both directions inside the squares. I hope that makes sense. Thanks
Thank you so much for the information.
thanks!
I am in the Northeast in zone 6a, so not anywhere near your zone. But you provide such great overall garden information, especially about square foot gardening and companion planting, so I am subscribed! Thank you!
Thank you
Angela is the best. Listen to her 👍
Great! In northern AZ, so it gets hot and cold and dry, a challenge for sure. What do you find the best raised bed structural materials, ie cedar, steel, etc.? Plans?
I am so glad that you are teaching / talking about the subject. The book influence to my gardening but I don't follow all the rules, so I would be a terrible teacher.🙂
Thanks again for hosting the event at the library last night! I'm anticipating having a more successful year this time!
Thank you neighbor, I'm in E. Mesa.
I really love your channel. I've gotten a lot of great info! Thank you!
The upfront cost of getting a raised bed and irrigation always held me back. As a first time gardener, I'm trying out container gardening to see if I will enjoy gardening before jumping head on.
Thank you, have a bless weekend.
Great information! Couldn't help notice the lisianthus though! Do you have lisianthus blooming currently??? Which usda zone are you at?
Hello! Thank you for this information. I have garden in a community garden for the past 3 years and will be building beds in my backyard in a few weeks. Question. Where did you get the water grids from? I would love to incorporate those in my backyard beds. Thank you in advance for your response.
I love the big arches at 4:16 in the viedo, where did you find them?
Thank you very much Angela.
I'm a new subscriber and I truly enjoy your way of teaching, you are a natural.
I love your trellis (square shape), and would love to do that for my garden to hang a shade cloth in the summer (Florida Zone 10). I appreciate all you do for us, the new gardeners. Thanks a million 🙏💜🌻🦋
Angela these plans look amazing! As a beginning AZ gardener, I'm so excited for the upcoming season now! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your square foot garden 🤩 I have the book and can't wait to get started!
You are an inspiration. Thank you!
This will be my 3rd year gardening, will be trying square foot gardening for the first time 🙂 there's one thing I still have questions about – what do you sow/plant after harvesting each square? Do you obey crop rotation just within one square? But also have to take to account which plants don't like to grow next to one another? Don't wanna end up with empty squares or chaotic sowing/planting and not having results 😀
Can you make a video how to make compost?
Thanks, Angela.
Do you know what is the best cover row for plants and when should l use it?
I love the growing space looks fab, we have a large rasied bed, we kinda do loads of different gardening techniques
Thank you fantastic
Great tips, Angela! Thanks!
First time viewer to your channel, but now I'm a subscriber. GOOD intro to this concept! We do a mix of raised bed/container gardening, b/c we have some unique sun/shade issues around our house. I have looked at this concept of square foot gardening, but the first time someone told me about it – well, it sounded like a lot of extra work. But you present it very well, and I look forward to learning more here! Thank you!!
Thank you for your amazing information and plans. My husband and I are now full time Arizona residents. We came from Washington and I had a beautiful greenhouse and miss gardening so very much. I have a empty backyard I need to fill up with square foot beds and vertical items to cover a large wood fence.
Really helpful Angela 😊
Love these tips. Thank you. We are moving soon so I hope to build a beautiful raised bed garden like yours. Thanks for sharing.
Love this concept. Could you do a video on weed removal? My California soil is heavy, so when I pull a chunk of soil comes with it. I feel it exacerbates the problem by waking up more weed seeds. In my raised beds, in the grass and grass border. Trying to go with a more natural approach. please help, thanks
Hey Angela! I'm glad to meet you! Thank you so much for this video! It's very useful!
Such useful info, thanks for sharing Angela!
And we’re really excited that you’re enjoying our metal raised garden beds 😊
