Matt, Katie, and me made a trip to town for supplies to finally put gravel in the greenhouse 😀

    You might want to fish some flat rocks out of the creek to stand on in the greenhouse on top of those white rocks so you don’t twist your ankle until they settle in the ground.Or some heavy sole boots.

    I was just wondering about do-it-yourself metal beds as I was waking up this morning. Let's see how it goes…

  9. @kimj.becker5527

    I saw a show that use a torch or something like that to burn the outside of wood, it said it makes it last longer. (Raw untreated wood.) maybe it works?

    Im sure you have considered it but be very aware of deer. I live in an area with deer in Virginia. Growing up we had no deer at all and raised big gardens, but now we have to have tall fences just so we don’t lose it all to deer . When you mentioned the new garden I couldn’t help but comment about them. Anyway I love your channel and love Appalachia !

    Dirt, water, sun, and seeds are all you ever need. More people could have some great food if they didn't over-complicate gardening and just did it. What my grandfathers and my dad taught me about gardening was that if I never planted the seed, I wouldn't get the food.

    I've used that dewalt attachment on some old galvanized corrugated roofing. It does just fine if the metal is clamped and stable.

  19. @rlwoods61

    Char the pine boards before you put them on the ground. This will make the bug and water resistant. That's the way they used to do it back (way back) in the day!

  20. @robinchanteusedylan8326

    I learn so much from this channel, very grateful to have it! Your way of gardening is very sensible with a mixture of ways from Pap, from Matt, & what you've learned over the years. 🌱 Fun going shopping with y'all! 😊

    My husband recycles non working refrigerators or freezers for raised beds. He removes the doors, shelves and the motor/coolant part of the back and bottom. Drills drain holes and lays them on cement blocks. We fill them with sticks, weeds, grass clippings, leaves, compost and old container soil, sometimes we add a few bags of fresh potting soil. Been working well for us.

  25. @kimberlykelly7280

    We used the bigger rock in our greenhouse and no pressure treated wood either. We also have been switching over to the raised beds like you have now. So far we like them. Now if I could make my own compost. We have a few chickens. Do you use their manure for your garden? Spring is almost here 🎉

  26. @carolgray7911

    It’s called ingenuity and my hubby is the same way, he finds a way to make it work while I’m a more ducks in a row kind of person. I need it laid out either in my mind just so or on paper, lol. And my husband like your Matt is very good at improvising and making whatever it is work and look nice too. I want it to work, and be functional but being female I guess I want it to look nice also. 😝😊

  27. @christinej2358

    I’m either behind on a video, or just not noticing Matt’s face, but when did he grow that beard? For the life of me I thought he was clean shaven. He looks fine with it or with out. I just hadn’t noticed it till this video. Maybe it’s because I’m always amazed at the work y’all have done and just didn’t pay attention to anything else. Anyway, y’all have great plans for the green house and the old raised beds. I’m taking back the garden this year from my husband who had a tub garden, but it didn’t have as big as a harvest like when I managed the in ground garden. I’m hoping to get the ground tilled up soon. I’d rather have raised beds, but probably not this year.

  28. @carolgray7911

    Ps: I forgot to say I really like your green house, it’s so big, boy could I have fun with that!! Tipper your hubby did a great job on it. God bless and you all.🙏🏻

  29. @plainjane3160

    Thank you for normalizing babies coming into the world in all kinds of different family dynamics. Let's acknowledge that we'd rather have a happy Katie and baby instead of Katie and a husband and picket fence etc etc etc and maybe not happy a few years down the road…just to fit a societal "standard" of what a family should look like. We all just want our children to be happy, and embracing her and circumstance and her baby the way you all have is just the loveliest thing.

    Matt’s going to go find a “buggy”. Grew up in the Panhandle of TX and we called them that. Moved N.E. of Tulsa and they turned into carts.

  31. @TheDarcyhorn

    I'm 77 and I have always used treated wood, and I'm still kicking. The pine will last a long time as long as it doesn't lay in water. Upright or lying on gravel, it will last many years.

  33. @glorialautzenhiser5140

    The highest relative humidity in a greenhouse is generally found inside plant canopies, where moisture is generated from transpiration and trapped due to insufficient air movement. Adequate plant spacing and mesh benches will help to improve air circulation at the plant level.

  34. @MDAdams72668

    If you burn the wood and then tung oil it the wood will last longer than psi treated and be nontoxic I think it is called "shou sugi ban"

  37. @PleasantPrickles

    Matt has the ingenuity to work without directions. He can figure it out. I predict a great growing season for you ahead, you’ve put in a lot of work on the infrastructure. 🌱🌱🌱🌱😀

  41. @ordyhorizonrivieredunord712

    The best way to treat the wood is boiled linen oil, your wood should rest on stone and this way avoid rot and water. Linen oil raw is an excellent oil for salads, however, boiled linen oil is poisonous and can't be used in the kitchen. Boiled linen oil is an excellent diluent for oil painting pigments. Avoid contact with the skin and use it with a brush. 🪔🏴‍☠⚠⚜⚠

    I'm working on a geodesic pentagonal structure taking 25 equal studs an11 hubs and the hubs are the hardest task to figure out to build human size shelters 🎄🎈🎇🌌🔮🌌🎆🎋🍁

  44. @Mntdewmania1

    Yeah I'm the same I don't like using the treated either. LOL the seat of the pants plan is so my husband. He gets a general idea and goes from there, meanwhile I'm at my desk drawing out plans of every inch

  45. @TeressaJ1960

    Tipper I love your enthusiasm for gardening. I grew up on a farm, too. We raised all the regulars, corn, beans, squash, (which we call the 3 sisters), tomatoes, watermelon, potatoes. My grandparents were amazing gardeners. My dad used a plow pulled by a mule. He had to strap it to his upper body and was constantly giving the mule directions. He would call out gee or haw and the mule knew which way to swerve. I miss those days so much. I now have little grow bags and buckets in my tiny backyard. My soil is awful and won't grow anything. I keep trying, though! I learn a lot from watching your videos! God bless you all.

  47. @vickymyprayergarden6846

    Appreciated this video . I have no land for a decent garden with all those yummy fresh veggies , I believe I may try the bucket garden , a little fresh is better than none 😊 .. I would like to know how you fry your okra to give it that non slimy feeling 😐 ? If you have a video of this or would share I am grateful !?!

  48. @Jon-ze2bw

    I worked at Lowe's in the garden section through a third party company. Seeing that flat bed brought back some good memories.
