40" x 72" welded panel is around $80. Each block is around $2. Pavers are around $2. Add that to the underlayment, top soil and addition fence materials. My guess is this project would be in the $2,500 range. That's actually not such a bad price considering there will never be any rot, significant maintenance or transgressing animals taking nibbles.
II'm in Northern New England and I have deer in the garden problems too. the cattle panels are a great idea: a high, strong, sturdy fence that I can install myself and disassemble and take with me when I move. Has to be cheaper than chain link fence. Thanks for the video. Also, I was thinking that your garden is perfect for people living in water restricting areas such as Arizona since the amount of soil you use is kept right to the plants. Nice job!
My BIGGEST question is are these blocks SAFE to use for your edible garden? If the blocks are leaching chemicals or lime, this CAN'T be SAFE for humin consumtion!
No need to empty them out. 1) just work manure into a few inches of the top soil using a hand rake or use something like this tray amzn.to/2Hqmibd if you want. it balances right at the level of the blocks and makes it very easy to scoop and mix. 2) as soon as you harvest a crop plant a mix of cover crops and mulch it in to create no-till garden.
You are planting in the block pockets , In my opinion that's a total waste of a garden based on the space that you devoted . This is pretty much a deer proof maze because there in not much that can grow in block pockets and allow have a bountiful harvest . This is just waste on so many levels , anyway thank you for the video .
Garden has been proven to be an excellent investment of time and money! We added soaker hoses and large black felt pots for growing tomatoes. We grow strawberries, peas, peppers, carrots, herbs and cucumbers with minimal weeding!
So cool! Thanks for sharing this!
This is beautiful... love it

Top idea mate !

Thank you! We love cattle panels. great point on water conservation areas
This was perfect for the small space I have! Thank you for sharing.
Where did you get the road mat from?
Can I ask what the total cost of this garden was for you?
What did you plant that you found didn’t do well in the block garden?
How is the cinder block looking now? I'm curious about the effect of it settling.
Thinking for your health!😉
What about the chemicals in the blocks like lime, have you looked into that?
It looks like you put your plants in a maximum security prison. I'm not criticizing, I really like it.
Were you able to get to.atoe plants to grow in those spaces?
I never tried planting tomatoes in those blocks. We just purchased these black growing bags amzn.to/2H5fLDA and tomatoes well in those.

how do you empty them out for the next year's planting?
No need to empty them out. 1) just work manure into a few inches of the top soil using a hand rake or use something like this tray amzn.to/2Hqmibd if you want. it balances right at the level of the blocks and makes it very easy to scoop and mix. 2) as soon as you harvest a crop plant a mix of cover crops and mulch it in to create no-till garden.
@@TraditionalLiving Any suggestions for cover crops that would be beneficial?
