You may save some money with this carbon rich method, but you’ll also need to nclude a roughly equal amount of GREEN material (nitrogen rich)… otherwise whatever you TRY to grow will likely do very poorly.
I'd say you need a lot more topsoil, what you have in there from the description is like 90% organic with very little in terms of inorganic matter. The ratio in my experience should be aaround 30-40% inorganic in the top layer, or else, you'll have to constantly upfill that bed with new bags of potting mix and it will deteioriate very quickly over the years.
FYI CARDBOARD HAS GLUE BETWEEN THE LAYERS, I NO LONGER BURN IN MY WOODSTOVE. "cardboard can contain chemicals, particularly in its manufacturing process, glues, inks, and coatings, and some types may contain PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals" GOOGLE A.i
Can you use manure and old hay/straw when stables are mucked out or perhaps wood shavings from a carpenter? Maybe a silly question but it would fill up the beds quite a bit….. or would this cause more bugs?

Cheap those containers are nowhere near cheap.
God this girl is so f**** hot
I’d put way more cardboard at the very bottom
Thank you!
Got it throw the wife in first then add lime then soil.🤣🤣🤣🤣
To avoid future problems in raised beds don't use potting soil, peat moss or coconut coir.
Wrong
The way she says “next” is like nails on a chalkboard 😂

Maybe I'm just dense, but why not make the bed container half as tall? This almost seems like a created problem.

If you add grass it smells for a couple of months when you water it
The logs are a bad idea, they don't decompose in any reasonable timeframe.
How long do we have to wait for it to decompose? Or can i plant anything right away?
Where did u buy your garden bed???
I've actually had a lot of success burying my enemies under a nice mix of clean soil and rye straw.
That's how we doit in Nort Jersey
Madam! Please provide a link as to where one can get these raised beds? Legit
