We’re seeing shortages of basic items, with food being among them. I hope this video inspires and makes others realize that growing food in a suburban setting can be done. The backyard grocery store never has empty shelves! Happy Gardening!

One of the most often asked questions is why do I grow in metal raised beds? Shockingly, there are several reasons why I prefer to grow in the raised beds. [Music] Good morning, YouTube, and welcome back to my channel. So, one of the reasons why I love growing in raised beds is that you can grow your food faster. The soil in raised beds heat up, heats up a lot quicker in the spring than not being in a raised bed, which allows you to get a jump on gardening, planting food, or whatever you’re using the raised bed for. Another reason for growing in raised beds is that you can make your own soil. Um, I’ve recently posted a vid a video showing how I do that. I’ll put uh the link for that up on the screen. You can account for in like my area here in North Florida for areas with really poor sandy or clay um soil, which is what I have here. Uh clay soil is very sticky. It’s hard for plants to um get their roots down into the soil and it doesn’t make um very good for clo for growing uh food into it. Most razor beds now are made with high quality metal like galvanized steel or aluminum coated steel which resist rotting, warping and cracking unlike wood or plastic. down in South Florida, I had um two wooden um raised beds that I bought from my local big big box store and they stated that they would last for 3 to 5 years. Well, after a couple years, they both rotted out and fell to the ground. And it was at that moment there that I knew I wanted to grow in raised beds. Due to the thickness of the metal, these beds can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. These beds are pest and rotistant. Termites, carpenter ants, ants, or wood rot are nonissues when you’re using these beds. There’s no risk of chemical leeching that can come from treated wood such as uh pressuret treated wood such as cedar or oak or anything. Raised beds require little or no maintenance, but there’s no need to seal, paint, or replace boards every few every few years. Just a occasional rinsing to remove dirt or algae. They come in very different colors on the design and aesthetics. They are sleek, modern looking that works with urban and country gardens. and they’re available in many heights or shapes. Now, you’ve seen in my garden, we’re looking at one now. This is a birdie’s tall raised bed, and I have six of these. And let me tell you, I really, really, really enjoy them. I don’t have to bend over very much or anything like that, which is a a plus. uh if you’re growing in ground and are limited due to uh mobility issues or bad joints or anything like that, bending um is a thing of the past. You don’t have to do it as much. Metal raised beds offer space efficiency and as I said, tall beds reduce bending, making them easier on the back and knees and hips. And the deep soil lay layers allow for dense planting and better yields. So even in this small area here, uh I can grow a lot of food and I can grow it pretty quickly. Raised beds are made from recyclable steel, recyclable steel, and will last far longer than wood, making them eco-friendly. So, traditional gardening methods can be difficult. And let’s face it, you have to deal with poor soil. You have to deal with pests such as um rodents or insects. And it’s difficult to make sure that your the soil has the new nutrients that you need and your plants need. Um, here in my area, before I can plant anything, I would need to do tilling, a lot of it, and then bring in a lot of compost and a lot of sand in order to get the soil to work to my liking and in order to grow stuff. Um, growing in raised beds is a lot simpler, a lot easier. So, I encourage you to think about it if if you can um use a raised bed. Now, initially when raised beds um came out, they were pricey. However, you can get raised beds off of Amazon now relatively cheap. And regardless of the price um or anything like that, raised beds are sturdy and will last a lot longer than um wood or plastic.
