When to start preparing vegetable garden
Preparing Vegetable Beds
[Music]
hello hello guys welcome on this sunny
morning
well it's March just beginning of March
and I got pretty much all the sight of
my clothes thought that when the floods
gonna be but this is when the hardest
work starts so this is what I have to
build see seven beds this is what all
the vegetables gonna be so I'm gonna
have over all seven beds they're gonna
be all eight meters long and beds will
be 30 inches wide in between I'm gonna
have parts which will be 25 inches wide
so as you can see those parts are quite
weak almost as white as as the beds
okay so I'm doing but this way well it's
easy to maintain them because you can
easily cross over the beds you know you
don't have to go around them and the
other thing is that if you have been
exactly the same size it's easier to
plant crop rotation each year and also
it's easier to plant how many vegetables
will fit into each bed and you can see
me doing this in my spreadsheet which
are available online so if you are
starting with growing vegetables that
might be very helpful
another thing is that if you buying any
kind of covers like for example you bar
you might bite pet netting and you might
buy the enviro mesh you can buy them in
exactly the same size and they will fit
on each of your beds so depending on
your crop rotation each year you might
be using different covers and different
beds now the one thing I'm gonna change
this year is the paths so paths were
last year pass were 18 inches wide and
it was okay for most of the time but I
struggle a bit when I was reading
because um you know especially with the
big brassicas it was hard to see all the
weeds under those big leaves
so this year I hope that we've passed
we'll be 25 inches wide it's gonna get a
bit more easier okay let's get busy so
this is what I'm using a lot of wooden
stakes and wool string usually what I'm
doing is trying to measure everything up
and use the wool string to give me idea
where are the pads where are the parts
and so here for example is we measuring
up the path
next thing is one of the hub that's
really this is what I'm scraping the
soil from the path to the bed after that
you have to weed the beds I would say at
least twice at the beginning but also
don't don't worry too much you know
you're gonna see a lot of stones a lot
of big roots but remember that you're
gonna be reading those beds throughout
the whole season so eventually you're
gonna get rid of all those things anyway
now next is adding compost or in my case
here I'm adding course manual so you
know just try to add as much as you have
and then eventually just try to
incorporate this into the soil now one
excess step I'm doing is I'm growing
quince gosh yes that's what I'm doing at
the beginning of the season arm you see
I'm trying to water all those weeds and
what I'm gonna do next is cover them
with the tarp so what does gonna do is
it will encourage the heat which will be
under the tower will encourage weeds to
grow so I'm hoping that through that I'm
gonna get rid of the first flash from
the weeds before I'm gonna start sowing
vegetables I think this day this is
called style seed bed technique okay
so at the end of this video here is the
quick summarize of all the steps that
I'm doing to prepare the bed and as
always guys feel free to ask any
questions in the comments and I hope you
are gonna have a great week and I see
you now
time take care bye
