Raised Beds 101: Build Your First Garden This Weekend

from Farm Fresh Homestead | Homesteading, Organic Gardening & Living Off the Land · host Mary Boyd - Food Sovereignty & Resilient Living Expert

Building a raised bed garden is a weekend project that pays off for a decade — if you build it right. In this episode of Farm Fresh Homestead, your mentor walks you through everything a first-time raised bed builder needs to know: lumber selection, corner construction, site selection, soil mix, watering, first season planting, and the pest you will absolutely meet in your first year. She built her first bed wrong — it collapsed in April — and this episode is everything she learned from that failure. Practical, specific, and honest.
