I'm just starting to understand how amazing your garden is going to be in a couple of years. Can't wait to see it in full bloom.
I know! I am very excited to see her garden in full swing! And I look forward to her preservation videos for her harvest!!! ❤❤❤
Redmond's is absolutely amazing! They where gracious enough to partner up with us and become sponsors for SoilFamily Expo... We where blessed to give away Soil Test Kits, salt And so much more. They are beautiful inside/out and we also highly recommend them. Julie is so sweet. We love her dearly. 💜
That’s awesome!
Thank you for encouraging buying plants at a local nursery. It’s not just for price but they ACTUALLY grow the plants so they have so much information, especially for new gardeners.(from a Farmer’s Market bedding plant grower)
Hi Becky. You have probably already found a solution for the chickens but I wanted to tell you I watched another person on CZcams, who made low arch tunnels out of hardware cloth and ran them around her garden. They had plenty of room to walk around and also protection from aerial predators.
A Chunnel! (Chicken tunnel) they’re great
I want to make a chicken tunnel too!!
I saw that too! Ingenious!
Which channel? I would like to see how it's done. Thanks!
@@ceceliacampbell7838 , I honestly don’t remember. However, she took long lengths of hardware cloth, probably about 3-3 1/2 feet wide and arched it. She probably staked it into the ground with those long ground staples.
I can't even begin to imagine the cost of this huge project. Necessary, amazing opportunity to become way more self-sufficient in a world that only wants us completely dependent on them. Way to go!
@@Tmp130 Corrupt sold 9ut to the WEF Governments
@@Tmp130 The governments across this world.
I have wondered on many channels if costs of projects are tax deductible on anything that is used to make content. Whether it be gardening, cooking, travel, etc. I don’t know how much CZcamsrs make but I see huge things happening on channels , not just Becky’s.
@@kellanrevere A percentage of the cost could be written off as a business expense, but it wouldn't/shouldn't all be since they also do this for personal use.
Becky, I hope you read this comment. I have been watching your channel for awhile and want to seriously "THANK YOU". For the last 5 years, I have only left my house or have been outside for doctor's appointments, a funeral and times I have been in the hospital. Watching your channel is helping motivate me to want to be outside again. Thank you so much for reminding me of how much I love to garden and to be outside in the beautiful weather. You are motivating me to get healthy so I can have a garden again. May God Bless You!!
Prayers for better health for you & for being able to get outside 🙏🤗
Please do keep a file folder with your "soil info" to include your compost company reports, your registration sheet, and notes you gather while researching. Periodically, go back through your soil folder to reacquaint yourself with the information you have because as you become more familiar over time, theninfirmatuin you've gathered will make more sense. It will also enable you to understand a wider variety of a whole host of gardening, farming, and soil related articles. Periodically, add to your file folder new information you find valuable.
Your raised beds and retaining walls look amazing!! Watching you bring your vision into existence on your new homestead is so exciting!! Enjoy your journey!! ❤
Thank you!
@@AcreHomesteadI’ve been looking back at your videos and can’t find where you address what you put down between your beds under the gravel. Right now I have plastic the previous owner put down and wood chips and the weeds are out of control!!
A quick way to enclose the chickens would be to put a divider in the garlic & strawberry bed gardens that are already fenced. Thanks for sharing & have a great day! I think you can pinch the heads off your broccoli starts & still plant them out, Blessings 🤗💜🇨🇦
As I watched them move soil through that area I thought the same thing!
In Master Gardener classes, we used the Extension Service for soil testing. It not only told what was in our soil, but told us what amendments we needed…….
I love your raised beds. Our greenhouse arrived this week! Doing a happy dance!
How exciting! I hope you post pics.
Becky, this garden is gorgeous already. I don’t even want to ask how much something like this costs but I agree with you, that this will be an investment that pays off for years to come. I love how the beds have that edge to sit on. You are going to have so much food. I’m so excited for you.
I just bought a house in February and I've been working on the interior so far. But I am wandering around in my backyard making plans for landscaping projects in the next couple of years. At 68, I am definitely going to do raised beds for everything. Your gardens looked so pretty last year with flowers mixed into the veggies and you have talked about that again for this year. I've definitely decided to add herbs, flowers, and veggies in a combination that will make all my beds pretty to look at and fruitful. Thank you for inspiring and teaching this "old Nebraska gardener" some new tricks.
Heyyyy Beautiful SoilSista! Happy Earth Day SoilBrotha's and SoilSista's 🌴
Same to you!
Pam here….your coop could be in perm spot, with 3 or4 lanes they could alternate roaming in, just directing them with a short hot fence. You could let them out in the fall to clean off the beds when done for season. It is adorable how they follow you.
I love the garden content. 😍 Thank you so mucg for sharing! And also huge thank you to the builders/gardeners for being okay with being on camera it adds so much fun to watch them in action!
Yeah! A new post from Becky! That garden is beautiful!!!! Can not wait to see how your garden grows!
Taking a break from MY gardening. IS THAT SOIL IN YOUR BEDS?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Oh my goodness I am so excited for y'all!
Becky, you are absolutely amazing, so young and so knowledgeable about your gardening and storage for all the food raised. I am 73 years young, use to raise all our food through gardening, having a cattle herd and having chickens. I have not had a garden for years but you have encouraged me to have a couple of raised beds to garden and to can the food raised - Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! Good luck on your journey on gardening and with your adorable family!! 👩🌾
You will have to do a video in early August looking out across your lush garden and green lawn. I know that I'm going to cry when I see it, because I am so happy for you!
I'm just getting started on my first homestead, so it is lovely to see all the steps and planning done the right way.
It amazes me that the time and expense you have put into you yard and garden. We have been gardening for 45 years in ground 2 acres we also help family and friend with vegetables but have to do it all the old way because of expenses by the farmers almanac been great so far wish you happy times in your garden.😊
Never been here so early 😅 I’m virtually invested into this beautiful garden! Looking good, Becky 👩🏽🌾
Thank you!
What about putting the chickens up in the top old garden where the strawberries were is already fenced and they can scratch around in the beds so they can be contained
The soil testing and amendment recs remind me of pool testing. For example, Leslie’s will test chlorine (and probably other pools) and give recommendations on what to add and how much to amend the pool’s calcium, pH, etc. I love this concept!
Please share the cost for 1 of your new raised beds. The cost brake down: wood, raised bed mix, fabric, hardware cloth, and fasteners. I think it would be so useful for those of us who are wondering if we can afford it. Thanks again! ❣️
ARE YOUR STARTS SO HEALTHY BECAUSE OF THE FISH EMULSION? I THINK SO! I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU ABOUT THE RAISED BEDS, & EQUALLY HAPPY FOR ME!!!❤❤ I GET TO GO ALONG ON YOUR JOURNEY. THANK YOU, BECKY AND JOSH!! DUDE, YOU'RE NOT IN THE VIDS ENOUGH 😊❤❤❤ PRAYERS AND LOVE NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ ❤
Our local extension in Georgia sends ours off to UGA and they send about a report that looks just like this. They also tell us how to amend different plant beds like blueberries vs veggies. They cost $9 a test so check your local extension because many work with state universities in your area.
Those beds look SO good out there. That garden is going to be stunning!
Looking fantastic, Becky! You’ve inspired me big time and we discovered a baby eggplant today! We’re so excited to go on this years garden journey with y’all.
Hi Becky. This may suprise you on your subscribers but i want to share it with you. I am 77 years old. I love my beautiful garden, minute but a flower garden. I can not do it any more and was never 'a gardener' so to speak. I live in the south of England a few miles from the sea. I hate cooking. my husband and I are Vegan. So why do i watch you posts? ? Because i am amazed at all that you do. I love to watch you and the abundance of energy you have that you use for the benefit of your family. Your joy and honesty is wonderful. Thank you for being you. Marie.
I feel our food is grown in soils that are so depleted from nutrients and minerals, which is probably why so many people are on vitamins. Your plants will not only thrive, but your food will be nutritious. Fantastic information on soil.
Look for garden and plant expos that may be hosted by the Master Gardeners in your area. Ours (in north central Indiana) was this weekend and you can typically purchase plant starts at reasonable prices. In addition, if you are looking to establish native plants in your landscape, it's a great place to find them.
Thank you, Becky, for this video. Wish I had watched it before planting.
I ordered my kit and look forward to a better soil for my raised bed gardening.
Thank you because of you i'm now in my second year of gardening 😊
Yay!
From a brown thumb gardener:
They should have people to hire, like Ms. Becky. To start a garden for non gardeners like me.
You are an amazing young lady to watch and learn from.
Here in GA, you can buy single starts for 5.98. If you are lucky, you can find them six starts for the same price. I am thankful that I have a greenhouse, plus most of what I will eat, I can start from sow.
Happy Saturday. Always a great day when Becky has a video up 😊
Happy spring, everyone!
Here in Australia we buy our vegetables and flowers in punnets. There are usually 8 plants in each punnet for $3.95 or $4.95. It’s really affordable. I personally buy my starts form a small local grower who grows a lot of heirloom plants organically. I get punnets for $3 which usually contain about 10 plants. It’s autumn now so I have a winter garden in which over here is brassicas, beets, carrots, peas, greens. Excited to see yours in the ground.
Clearly , you are blessed with a lot more money than the average subscriber, BUT, this being said , we just need to watch and see what we can glean from this video , maybe how to prepare one raised bed, or make us start to think about other options we can use for beds, I have two raised beds made from discarded vinyl widow shutters screws together. I have added screen wire / wire cloth on the bottom before adding soil slowing down moles/ voles and gophers from killing plants. Kiddie pools are great for radishes , lettuce crops.Thank you for sharing.
So happy to see these filled! I don’t know why but when you panned over the full beds I just had the urge to lay on one of from and make dirt angels. So exciting!!
Becky thank you so much for being you and sharing your passion with us. We are learning together!
Omgosh Becky I’m so excited and happy for you and Josh!!!!❤
It’s amazing to see your garden plan coming together. It’s beautiful! Take good care and thank you for sharing 🤗
Love watching the progress of your garden. And - I have decided, after watching you for a couple of months, that I am going to start growing herbs. So excited! Looking forward to seeing your garden flourish 🤗
Thank you so much Becky for being you, for inspiring us, for your encouragement, and helping motivate me every day ❤
I absolutely love your channel! I started all my seeds with Vermont compost and they are doing incredible!!!!!🎉🎉
It’s so exciting following along and watching your dreams come true. Thank you for being you and sharing with all of us
Your raised garden beds are goals! There are so many...how awesome!
Cheers Becky. You are always so encouraging. So excited for you. I actually went out today and looked at flowers to plant on my patio pots. Totally new for me. Thank you for always being YOU!!🌷🫶🏻💯🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I wish I had your energy!!! Some days I can hardly get around so I really enjoy watching you. Can't wait to see everything planted and blooming.
Just the difference in your garden so far is amazing. It's so fun to watch this being done & see the changes from vlog 2 vlog.
I’m at the very beginning of my garden journey. I so love watching you from the very beginning of your journey. You and Rachel and Todd from That 1870’s homestead have been such an inspiration. Can’t thank you enough!!!! Right now I’m doing container gardening on my porch…hoping to buy some property this year…space for a garden is a must!!!!
Thank you for bringing the soil test to our attention! Such a logical approach for home gardeners and homesteaders! I think you're going to have so much fun in the garden this year!
Seeing the filled raised beds is exciting! I’m so excited for you and your new gardening journey!!
so so so exciting. I'm going bonkers from my wait. I am thankful regardless I've been getting an abundance of ideas and learning patterns and routines that can aid everything going smoothing, really thankful for you guys and I'm excited to see this years garden with you guys.
Hi Becki. Hope your well. You are my inspiration to make a garden up, not easy with English weather lol. Being a mum of 7 I have everything crossed that I can grow some things for my family xx
I never respond to your videos although I’m an avid friend of your channel. Thus, I must say that your homestead is going to be beautiful and your detail for research is very commendable. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Love your channel.
It’s all looking so good! I’m so happy for you guys!
Girl you are really on it with your raised beds! I can’t wait to see your flowers and produce growing in that soil! I never knew it was so serious, i just bought dirt and planted. So excited to see your plants popping out! Thank you for all of your information and kindness!
The nice thing about gardening is that, like running, there's a low entry threshold to it. When you get more serious, you can then spend tons of money doing it. But starting with a few starts or some seeds in pots/dirt is just fine! Good luck on your garden!
Becky, you are amazing with your knowledge already about your gardening. I can’t wait to watch your garden grow.
I'm so happy with all the progress going on so far. So happy watching your progress since day 1. Wishing you happy and healthy always! Love from Malaysia 🥰❤
I love watching them work on your yard and beds!
I would recommend getting the help of your local county extension agent with your soil test. They also offer free testing and help with gardening.
Becky so excited to see your garden in full swing!!!
Becky I am so happy and excited to see soil in your beds. It all looks beautiful and I’m looking forward for every step to come. To see your vision happen must be overwhelming for you. Enjoy!
Yay! Hi Becky. Good to see the garden progressing. ❤
Thank you becky for everything you do and you are a encouragement. I feel that I am lucky to have you
I’m so excited for you to be able to plant in your new garden space!!
Everything looks amazing Becky!! Your 🌱 look great!!! So excited for you!
So excited to see the progress. 🙂
Your starts are looking so great!
Awesome job, Becky...you are amazing!❤
Hi Becky! Love your garden and your fabulous grocery store!
Everything looks so beautiful! I am very excited for you and your family!
Thanks all of this info on soil. Should help many of us. Also pray you continue to do what you do best and can ignore recent the negative comments and videos that are criticizing your channel. Appreciate you giving your time to share with us!
Just got my soil yesterday…. Is planting day today… so excited 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Omg Becky this is great!! Things are really turning around especially with the soil and testing it. Best of luck with your garden. I can’t wait to see what veggies you get! ❤
I’m so envious of your amazing garden area, and with your rock walls etc,,,,so beautiful!! What a wonderful plan you have designed, and congratulations on taking the enormous financial plunge to make it a reality.
I’m very excited to see how the garden does . Great job Becky..with everything ☺️
You are a true gardener to love the smell of compost and fresh soil. Blessings.
I have been watching this process with you. How exciting to see the transformation. So glad to see it happen.
Oooohhhhhhhhh!!!!! Let the plantinggg begin!!! I'm so excited to vicariously live through you as you plant !
Thanks for sharing this very important information on soil testing SoilSista, we love and appreciate you 💖
Hi Becky!
Beautiful day here… hope you’re having a beautiful day as well
Thank you again for coupons! I’ve ordered my soil test kit, thanks to you.
Great job Becky. Thanks for sharing!
Becky this is an excellent video! In all my years gardening I’ve never seen a video of soil testing let alone in this detail. I’m s excited about trying this company. Thanks much!
I am out in the garden today and taking all my plants out of the greenhouse so I can move it to a better area. So many plants in my greenhouse!!!! OMG! Today I am also planning on getting my tomato trellises up. I love, LOOOOOOVE seeing your garden
Yeii i was waiting for this video since you mentioned in your last video that your garden beds were filled 🎉🎉🎉 I'm so excited for you!
So cool! So excited for you to be so close to planting!
Ohhhhhhh Becky.....you are doing sooooo well!!!!! CONGRATS!! 💜👍
We're always brand new gardeners! We carry what we've learned and pick up so much information and learn from our mistakes and progresses. Every year new things come out, we can take what we need to apply to our gardens.
My father worked for a company, Nachurs. He would take samples from farmers' fields and find out what nutrients were needed.
He then sprayed the proper amounts needed onto the fields. It sounds like the great company you found. Very useful. I can not WAIT to get in the garden!
Your garden plan is wonderful, it looks like it's going to be so efficient for you. Good job!! ❤
Awesome video Becky. So happy for you today.
Can't wait to see that first plant go into your soil!! Hope you have a fantastic growing season.
Oh my goodness, I see my daughters’ dad, he’s one of the workers
I just finished filling my newly built garden beds today and it is so exciting.. for family reasons I haven’t had a garden the last two years and this year we went all in mostly because I have been watching your videos all along and had to go for it this year.. thank you for always sharing what you learn. I had many seedling successes this year as well that Vermont compost is great! Only big fail is my tomato starts I will see if I can salvage any tomorrow... happy planting!
Thank you for the information about the soil testing. Everything looks great and you will do great this gardening season.
Love u Becky im a professional cook recovering from a hip accident slowly regaining strength you give me courage to go forward
I love seeing your garden come together! Happy Earth Day!
What you have shared has been a HUGE help! Thank you!
I want to thank you, for letting me live vicarious through you. I'm not able to do any gardening right now. I'm learning so much from you, hopefully I can put it to use someday. I tell my husband that I want to be like you when I grow up. We get a laugh, (we're in our 60's). We love to watch the chickens, they are good supervisors lol, they make such cute noises too.
Love how you explain things, awesome job Becky.
