@Antiks72 funny comment!
What sheet of material did the builder lay down on the ground as a barrier between the ground and the dirt he added? And why did he add the sheet of material?
lol that is way too many tools to build a garden bed.
ahhh u dont need all that to make a garden
I need a hoe? Shall I get a black one? How much should I spend on her?
@TheBrassHole lol
You need 20 tools to build a wood planter box?
@noblew357 People in the ghetto would never do anything that requires work any way, so you don’t have to worry about it. Just keep sending your money to them.
What A crock o crap. Dont fergit to do a enviromental impact study.
wow i never thought building a flower bed was so expensive, i built mine with left over fence post and compost, 100% free
wow i guess people in the ghetto cant grow healthy food cause they have to first spend a hundred bucks on bs equipment.
great video
@bookooc, you are correct, it would kill you and still will. But it would also kill many of the veggies. Trust me, I used it for years and lost many veggies to it to only figure it out later from an old wise farmer who filled me in. Treated wood is still chemical based and should not be used around any food supply. I use untreated wood which is 1/2 or less the price and I switch the boards out every 2-3 years depending on what size I buy. I have done my research.
@controlpopulation
do some research pal, treated wood since 2003 is safe for veggies, and the issue was never that it would kill the plants, it was that it would kill YOU. Some people may still not choose to use it, not trusting the companies that use the new process, but you can always cover the boards with plastic.
@ARBuilder1776 dont use any kinda treated of any kind near vegs
let nature take its course
@stodarddaton i think ur right
spirit leval piped hose etc etc
i made mine frm a few scrap pieces of wood and a few rusty nails
and it wrks perfect
funny ive used treated for yrs never had a problem and ceder is a pestilence
Check out my Gardening videos on YouTube.
They want you to purchase untreated wood. That way, the wood will decay, rot, attract termites, then self-destruct. They’ll sell you more!
Cedar “resists decay?” Sure it does.
How about insulating the pressure treated wood with thick mil plastic sheeting (against the pressure treated wood – for about 1 foot), and otherwise as this video demonstrates.
@ARBuilder1776, I don’t like weedblocker because the weeds end up making a mess of it eventually. I would dig up the grass, put a layer of newspapers down and then fill it with top soil. I did my beds a few years ago like that and the only weeds are the occasional top of soil ones, which I can easily pull out by hand. You don’t get too many weeds in raised beds, thats one of the advantages.
@controlpopulation What if you line it with weed blocker material?
I just farted
Don’t use treated wood for your veggie beds. Flowers and plants yes, veggies? Never… It will kill them because the chemicals will release from the wood into your veggies.
My video shows you the ultimate raised planters that are waist high for your deck.. It’s in my video called, “Preparing for peak oil”…
