  • Want to START a GARDEN FAST? This is how to do it in under 1/2 hour! Today I show you from start to finish how to make an easy garden as I race against my son to see who can do it in the least time. Starting a garden can seem like an overwhelming task, but a no dig garden is simple and functional. We'll show you how to start a no dig garden and follow it all summer so you can see how well it grows. We'll use the Charles Dowding method of no dig gardening to get your garden set up and ready to plant in under 30 minutes!

      Thanks for watching along. We had a great time, so I’m happy to see that everyone is having fun watching it too. I’m glad the serious bits were useful. I had so much to say about how to use this type of garden best but didn’t want to make it all serious this time.

    My son & I are both crazy competitive, so we decided to have a bit of fun and see who could start a no-dig garden in the least time! I'll have to go back to fix his up a little before planting, but overall I think he did a great job for his first solo garden. I'll be following this new garden area over the summer to show you what we grow here. The current plan is to use it for melons and pumpkins, but we'll see! Have a great week growing :)

    Message to Rayyan, I noticed your mom gave you the old cement covered wheelbarrow with rusted up axle, and took the new, shiny lightweight aluminium wheelbarrow for herself 😳😏, grab that one next time 😃

      I’m dying laughing reading your comment! You’re right about the wheelbarrow-my aging back can’t handle that old one anymore 😅 Rayyan was a true champion to take it and leave me the better one! But he did make me pay for it a little when he pushed over mine on that hill, almost killed myself trying to dead lift those bags again 😂 I love having him in the garden. It’s always unpredictable madness (but fun!)
