Full Raised Bed Vegetable Garden Tour August 2024

G'day Everyone, yes, this is a long video, but I thought you might like a good old relaxing long walk around the garden with me... Cheers :)

No worries about the length of the video. Many of us love a good garden tour. ❤

I for one watched your whole video and enjoyed it very much. I don’t live in a subtropical climate so it’s interesting to see what you are growing that I can’t. We do a lot of salmon fishing and the freezer burnt or to old to eat always gets ‘planted’ in the garden. People have been doing this for hundreds if not thousands of years. Why someone would leave a negative comment is beyond me. Using everything is a good thing. Especially animals that we eat should never go to waste. We use the heads for crab bait. We use the bones of deer and elk for bone broth and making bone meal for the garden. Your garden is so beautiful! I have two gardens and I know it takes hours and hours every day to keep it going. And sometimes it fails. I just had a Vole do what your cockatoos did to my pole beans. :( oh well, next year….😊

I always look forward to these videos. I appreciate when you show your experiments regardless of failure or success. It helps me feel like I can also make mistakes in my own garden and learn to experiment.

Nasturtium leaves , chewed and swallowed, kills a sore throat after only 2 or 3 tries! Truly remarkable results

35:35 “don’t worry so much… just like my diy crappy jobs….” 😂 i felt that in my soul. diy isn’t always the prettiest, but if it meets a need, it’s good enough.

If that’s dandelion you pulled out, keep it and use it!🙏🏼🙏🏼

I love these videos because it catches me up in what I’ve missed, and what’s to come

Thank you Mark for always motivating us to get out into the garden and get into it.btw i love the longer videos and kept checking the time because i didn’t want it to end.I also love how you have such a a successful garden but are still experimenting with new growing techniques and new plants. always an inspiration love from south carolina USA.

What a massive transformation you and your son have accomplished after all that rain. I love how you reward those determined strays & stragglers with a dose of love. TY for the garden tour

I just noticed; the haircut and shave are looking good!

Love how you do all these experiments so we can learn from you! I don’t have a full veggie garden yet, but I have learnt so much from you with my front garden which is more floral. I built 2 years ago and I’ve been using mulch to improve the soil, turning it in every 6 months and adding more on top. I now have beautiful soil developing and earthworms in it! Just from using the cheap Bunnings water saving mulch. When I turn it in I add compost and add a lot of soil wetter to it. So happy with how it’s developing! Thank you!😊

Thank you for the full garden tour, Mark! It was nice to see and listen to your thoughts and plans 😊

Form follows function and as long it works, you are good to go! Good tour! Thanks!

HA! Damn you! I was just about to go to bed [1am] and you drop a long video. No worries, I'll sleep when I'm dead and watch your vid now. Many thanks for the great vids.

I have grown Ananas for 3 seasons, they are so beautiful and have the flavor to match

Lovely garden Mark. Good luck to all of us on the east coast of Australia in this big rain event that is predicted this coming week.

You’re one of the channels that inspired me to start growing. I’m building a hugelkulture raised rock bed garden because I live in a drought zone and that method saves me water consumption.

Wondering if you’ve ever grown Elderberry?? Thanks for the walk about round the garden 😊👍 Everything looks great. Sorry to see the damage the pesky critters do, but if Im honest, I did giggle since I deal with the same torture! 🤭 Little buggers I’ve never left you a comment, but since you mentioned our 3 sisters… I felt I should. Our people supposedly came up with that design and it is a great way to grow the 3 up 🎉 We found a garden clay that is sprayed onto the plants. It looks odd, but doesn’t hinder the sun doing its job for photosynthesis but it does taste yucky to the pests… including snails, slugs, squash beetles etc and the birds don’t like it either YAY!! We have been having great success for our first year using it. We had to spray the fruit trees as well and its made a huge difference. Thanks for your time and the lovely videos. Much Appreciated!! PS you can eat / drink the aloe Vera as well as using on your skin!

Mark your garden is awe inspiring, green with envy from an oldie in Tasmania. I loved the longer video and walking with you around your veg fruit garden. I did it in two stages as watching i decided oh b………i will plant out my collards that were beaut seedlings then stalled when put out in the growing box. So that done I’m hoping as warmer and more stable no freezing nights they will take off and i have watched the rest of this terrific video. Thank you Mark
