Nice job Joe, looks good. Do you raise your own pups? I think it might be
time to get a new one soon.
As long as you have at least 6 hours of good sun, that bed should serve you
well. You will have competition with the tree roots so you will need to
water quite a bit. With the small roots of a strawberry or veggie and the
much larger tree roots, the tree always wins. I had a garden at one time
which was similar to what you have there. It took a lot of care but did
quite well. Good luck!

Thanks Lillie, I will have to try something like that, since I am not up
there all the time, the water retention and how it would stop the weeds
would really help. Thank You.

I watch your channel all the time keep up the good work. What lake is that
it looks small?
Thanks for commenting, I never thought about that, but we do want to figure
out how to make a worm bed so we can use them to go fishing and not have to
buy them on the way up. Do you have any ideas on how to do that? I hope to
have some new wild edible videos coming up in the near future. Thanks. Joe

I had some wood that I put in the wood stove this time up and it was pine
only but it had so much resin in it that thing burned forever and was hot
like burning a piece of birch. I will have to check my email. Thanks Marty.

handy to be able to just get your wood for the beds from 5yards away lol.
Nice job man, looks great.
Ohh I LOVE that raised be with the logs!! What a great idea!!! I would love
the look of that in my yard. You did a beautiful job! Were the strawberry
plants bought or dug up from another location? Just curious. Had never seen
them for sale like that? Hope this strawberry bed does great for you.
Thanks 4 sharing. I am kinda behind on my video watching but trying to
catch up with everyone. Take care.

Awesome work. I like gardening too. I got one suggestion for you: try to
cover the soil around the plants with leaves. This will protect the plants
from freezing and water will condensate under the leaves, so you dont have
to water them that much. all the best… Lilly

Joe I understand, I have a friend who has a nice cabin on a river in
central MO, been there many times, he doesn’t want everybody to know about
it either. Enjoy your channel, keep up the good work
I’m still trying to get caught up on my video watching…again…LOL.
That’s a really good looking planter box you made out of logs Joe, I hope
the strawberries grow for ya. Thanks for sharing and Take Care my friend
:-))
Nice Video; I love your videos on wild edibles btw. Have u considered
placing a small worm tower in your raised bed, It simply a pvc pipe with
holes drilled in the sides at the bottom, bury the holes in the soil thus
allowing the worms to move in and out into your soil. Put a few worms and
then add food scraps as needed. It really is an easy way too get nature’s
little fertilizers working for you.
Thank You, I will post videos on whats growing and not growing everytime I
go up there. I am going to plant some apple trees up there like I have here
at home as well, if nothing else, I know they will grow up there if you can
keep the deer away, and they really attract deer so at deer hunting time if
there is snow on the ground, they will come visiting, and it will be a
short drag to the meat pole lol Thanks again. Joe

I live in southest MO, I like hunting fishing camping riding 4 wheeler,
help my brother on family farm, I like your channel the best, I have
learned a lot from you guys, keep it up.
Max is getting old I agree, and I never studded him, I got him fixed right
away. I searched everywhere looking for a big blocky black lab male, and he
turned out to be exactly that and has a great personality. Thanks.

What do you do with wildlife encroaching on your vegetables and fruit
garden? Also, do you recommend and types of soil boosters and water
mixtures, possible pesticides both eco friendly and non?
Thank You, I was there 10 days, I got quite alot done when the weather was
good.

Thanks for the comment, Yea Max is a good dog, very mellow, and always
there, get him in the duck boat and start shooting he perks up and does his
job well but he is pushing 9 years old now so he is a bit slow to get up
sometimes. Thanks again. Joe

Great raised bed, …always nice to see you working ; ) …Take care my
friend. Sepp
Excellent, a really rustic raised bed! This will be a great test bed (Ack!)
to determine what works and what needs improvement to successfully grow
fruit & veg in Northern MN. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to scale up
for more fresh summer produce – or, if a major societal disruption forced
you & your family into a long term Bug Out – an important supplement to
your diet. Keep us posted and keep up the good work!
