Here in India..... I have found easiest way to begin raised bed is.... Cheapest rocks and rubble I have arranged. ...in rectangle shape. Filled it with weeds that available plenty during this monsoon . In layers filled with fertile soil and compost. Hope this would be very simple. Next without raising shall try to heap weeds which one can get again.... On plain ground. Weeds covering the ground becomes mulch. A little later good for cultivation with compost topping the same area. Trial costs nothing. I am in SOUTHERN PART OF INDIA.
I started out using "straw snakes" (10"x30ft erosion control tubes) to make my raised beds. I then got a big wood chipper and chipped up a piles of limbs I had around the property an put the chips between the raised beds for my pathways. Once the chip pathways got to be 6-8" deep, I removed the "straw snakes" and made new beds. Now I have 3-4ft wide compost beds with 8" deep wood chip pathways (3ft wide) between them. The chips hold water and the plants don't seem to care if they grow in the compost or the wood chips. So it's a win/win for me and my garden. Just saw your "sweet potato" video and was going to get some tubers to try it. Now I know what to do, so a big thanks.

Another great video. Im trying to finish my 20x40 green house. Any and all tricks are appreciated. Sending yall & all the good souls of the world EVERYTHING GOOD💌💕😂💪✌🙏🤗😘
Wood chewing bugs around here can de discouraged simply by soaking the boards in linseed oil, but you have to spread the oil in generous amounts 2 or 3 times with a couple of days in between to really get it in deep. If you have enough oil you can set up a board dipping bath in a drain pipe and leave the boards to soak over night, but that may get a bit too expansive.
Sad day for me.Dismantled my large raised beds due to termite infestation and have another one to diamantle tomorrow.It functioned well but for all the effort and $ that I put in,I personaly feel its not worth it.Might go the metal or even brick route in the future if I do it again but for now,ill stick to just a 1 brick high bed.Wish me luck as I have a very long day ahead xD
We do all in-ground gardening- its wonderful for the soil health- we amend the ground directly and the worms and soil microbes are much happier. Also I never buy container soil- I use a mix of home made worm compost, leaves, compost, dandilion leaves (FULL of calcium), and grass clippings. Grass clippings are full of nitrogen and are wonderful for potato growing
Hi Jag, i have been watching your vids for a while and have started doing things you teach. I have always killed anything I grow but now have garlic, coriander, bok choy, spinach, potatoes and sweet potato 👍😁 because I can't bend for very long I have purchased a 9 metre long raised bed. Thankyou so much for your great teaching skills, cheers Julie in Australia 🇦🇺💗
Thanks a million. You have clarified excellently..... The doubts I had about raised or no raised..... bed gardenning. Very clear and useful tips you have given.
There's a real lack of information out there for "standing" raised beds. Meaning a large box (on stilts) that not really connected (soil-wise) to the ground at all. I built one that is 1cu. Yard for square foot gardening, it's quite prolific but I've had to do ALOT to get it right; including putting mycorrhiza, worms, etc that would naturally find a way there but can't with my system; however the benefits are outstanding! Slugs/pests cannot find a way to my plants because all I have to do is spray the four corner posts on the bottom with a high-concentration cold-pressed neem oil and diatamaceous earth. Recommend people thinking about building a box on stilts when the lumber prices go down!
Should mention I used ENTIRELY pressure treated lumber. It's naturally rot/pest resistant, the extra cost is worth it because it will need to last longer than a few seasons off the ground like that anything weaker might rot and you might come outside to a sideways garden!
Hey Jag, love your vids. I use raised beds for my garden and even grow dozens of trees in a raised bed because of my heavy clay soil. However, the soil for the trees is very different than what I use in the veg garden.
Great video. My goal is to be self-sufficient. Discovered you when looking for growing sugar cane and will be Checking out other videos. I also subscribed
Jag could you make a video for beans because our beans are not growing well and we don’t know how to make them grow better Also I’m your biggest fan no joke!
Jag You are into a very large scale gardening. I wonder what your monthly water bill is ! Or are you on well water or sitting on an aquafer ? I live in the southwest, any videos on growing pomegranate, pistachio, figs would be welcome. I strongly adhere to conservation of water in the parched community I live in.
We have well, we use drip irrigation to conserve water. Water bill is cheaper on the farm as compared to urban area. I have a video on growing pomegranate from seed. Will post a video on figs soon.
Love your videos. Have you ever done straw hale bay farming? Thats our primary way of apartment gardening currently alongside container gardening and 2 raised beds. I'd love to see more on it if you could :)
New sub & enjoy your videos greatly! We have moles and voles. Even squirrels will dig up bulbs. Would love to grow directly into the ground but can’t until I get rid of them first. Is there a way to do that? I have dogs which keeps me from using lethal methods. Any suggestions on how to keep them from the plants? I’ve put down milky spore 2x/yr for the last 3 to get rid of the grubs. Thank you again
I have a question for you, I am trying to go lettuce and I plant 3, 2 seedlings have sprouted up and then the other but. One has closed up and the others are open, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong of anything at all? Thank you
What you show in this video, I call "permanent bordered beds". IMO, to be a raised bed, the soil must be deep enough to accommodate the entire root system of the plants.
I have been growing my plants in pots but they don't flower or produce vegetables I wonder what am doing wrong. I would really appreciate some suggestions. I have been using the potting mix from Costco.
Could be many reason. Not enough sunlight is the main reason. Watch these videos & Gardening Mistakes to Avoid, Tomato Growing mistakes to avoid, and tomato flower drop tomato split and rot. These videos are on my channel.
I also found out AFTER we built several raised beds....they are an ant magnet. So after my crops are done for the year, I’m going to have to kill the (red biting!) ants with orange oil. I hear ants are pretty common. 😕
I don't know what would be wrong with your tree, nor do I know what the weather is like it thought this method maybe helpful, from a past neighbour who would have tin buckets filled with rain water. Apparently fruit trees love and need the rusted water. I cannot remember the chemical it is but it seemed to work for his tree's keeping them healthy all year round in Australia.
I like your short video format. With a lot of interesting information though
Thanks for watching for more czcams.com/video/zswzuxPvi8U/video.html
i guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Esteban Nicolas Glad I could help :D
Wow, how did I miss your channel before now? I'm so pleased to have found you! I've really enjoyed this video - thank you!
this is the first video talk about not to have raised bed,thx
I'm very grateful to have found this channel. You have been a well of information! Thank you

Isn't there a risk of fire? Isn't linseed oil self combust?
I am a 12 year old boy and I am a very very big fan of your explanation
Thank you so much, Jag. Your explanations were very clear.
Sad day for me.Dismantled my large raised beds due to termite infestation and have another one to diamantle tomorrow.It functioned well but for all the effort and $ that I put in,I personaly feel its not worth it.Might go the metal or even brick route in the future if I do it again but for now,ill stick to just a 1 brick high bed.Wish me luck as I have a very long day ahead xD
You can coat the wood in raw linseed oil which is organic and then make raised beds. My raised beds were eaten by termites too.

Thanks for watching! :) If you can't bend over, you can have raised beds like Mark from Self Sufficient Me channel. He is from Melbourne.
Thanks for the tips Jag👍 Hope to see more of your videos. God bless you and your family 🙏 💕keep safe🙏
Jag thank you for your video's. I get so much information and tips from them that help me with my own garden.
Thanks a million.
You have clarified excellently..... The doubts I had about raised or no raised..... bed gardenning.

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video information very helpful
We haven't heard from you in quite sometime. I hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you for the content you provide on your channel.
Everything is good, very busy planting 2 acres of blueberries, that's why. Thank you for the concern, means a lot!

Love the vids man you realy helped me with my garden
Glad I could help
Finally the Truth......Thanks.
Love watching your videos. I have an issue with black ants in my garden. How do I get rid of them in my raised beds?
Here is the video czcams.com/video/xwIOb5FjY30/video.html
Great video. My goal is to be self-sufficient. Discovered you when looking for growing sugar cane and will be Checking out other videos. I also subscribed
So helpful!
How about galvanized steel for raised bed. Eventually they rust but it’s not toxic when leached, is it. It’s cheap.
Thanks for the tips.
Jag could you make a video for beans because our beans are not growing well and we don’t know how to make them grow better
Also I’m your biggest fan no joke!
very good information

I live in the southwest, any videos on growing pomegranate, pistachio, figs would be welcome. I strongly adhere to conservation of water in the parched community I live in.
I asked the same agricultural land is a different fee for water as they only have delivery and not waste to be removed.
We have well, we use drip irrigation to conserve water. Water bill is cheaper on the farm as compared to urban area. I have a video on growing pomegranate from seed. Will post a video on figs soon.
Hello jag Singh why you don't start bonsai plant. I surely know that you will give best information about that. so I request you to have videos on it
Good information,as usual
Thank you..
Thank you for the video, and 2nd i hope that it will be about raise beds too
Jag Singh sir your farm vegetable is looking very beautiful and wonderful sir 👋😃🇮🇳🙏💐
"Hello everyone, this is jag"
Feels strange it wasn't there...
Haha, you noticed :)
Haha
Love your videos. Have you ever done straw hale bay farming? Thats our primary way of apartment gardening currently alongside container gardening and 2 raised beds. I'd love to see more on it if you could :)
Jag, pls add your transitions and video shots to the video. We miss it
That was very nice but it did not convince me to not have raised beds.
ਹੋਰ ਬਾਈ ਠੀਕ ਠਾਕ ਹੋ!
ਇਧਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੱਲ ਕੋਈ raised ਬੈਡ ਬਣਾਉਂਦਾ ਨੀ।

Can u make a video on plants that grow well in clay soil.. bcoz my place oly clay soil every where

Can you use cinder blocks or bricks
Jag,where are you, it has been a month. Hope you and your family are well.
Yes, was busy planting 2 acres of blueberries. All done and now focusing on videos again. Thanks for the concern!
I have a question for you, I am trying to go lettuce and I plant 3, 2 seedlings have sprouted up and then the other but. One has closed up and the others are open, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong of anything at all? Thank you

I thought redwoods were protected. How do you get raised beds made from protected trees?
Maybe he meant cedar? Idk
Some redwood is available, but it's more expensive.
🙏
How is your chickens?
Nice video
Are you in bc Canada ? Can we visit farm for u pick ?
I also found out AFTER we built several raised beds....they are an ant magnet. So after my crops are done for the year, I’m going to have to kill the (red biting!) ants with orange oil. I hear ants are pretty common. 😕
What about red ants?
charles downing shows that you don't necessarily need to have wooden sides on your beds.
Your raised beds look . . . sunken . . . ?
Are the fires near you?
No but I have many friends that have been evacuated. Thanks for asking.
He sounds really congested and sick ....🤔🤔🤔😱😱😱😱😱
I have allergies, lots of smoke in california. Sky is orange and ash is raining down.
TC bro
=} You Are Looks Like An Indian Man..... 😅
=} You Can Understand Hindi Language?🤔
=} You Are Best Farmer And Gardener too........
First
No one cares
Hey jag I’m gonna send you a picture of my peach tree in your email below please take a look and see if u know what’s going on 😢
I don't know what would be wrong with your tree, nor do I know what the weather is like it thought this method maybe helpful, from a past neighbour who would have tin buckets filled with rain water. Apparently fruit trees love and need the rusted water. I cannot remember the chemical it is but it seemed to work for his tree's keeping them healthy all year round in Australia.
But it doesn’t look like you’re actually growing anything lol
One bed has mint, the other has cilantro and ginger, they are small plants.
Could you please watch on youtube LIZIQI Channel. You will learn something that doesnt grow in ag school.
