hey there folks this is josh stoneyridge farmer welcome back to the farm today we've got something awesome going on so guys if you follow the channel you'll know that we just milled up all these beautiful white oak boards on the sawmill a couple days ago we'll get you a little bit of footage of that this was a dead standing tree that i milled up and i have built every one of these raised beds with that one dead standing tree it's unbelievable just one tree provided all this lumber right here so what we're going to be doing is building raised beds just like you see right here for the garden we're going to walk you around and show you the raised beds that are currently being used and today we're gonna build some raised beds these beds will be approximately four feet wide by eight feet long and we're gonna build hopefully five of them enough to get us all the way to the chicken coop let's show you what we already have in place here guys so it's early in the morning right now and it's going to get hot today so we've got a big pile of lumber uh these are shallots we planted those shallots they were only about this tall that was probably back in february or march in this plant bed you can see right now we've got a few sprouts coming up got some weeds too we need to get those weeds out we've got a few sprouts coming up these are squash okay so this bed is yellow squash and this bed is zucchini okay and you can see some of the zucchini coming up all over here we also need to weed this bed now this bed does not need weeding because i've been treating this bed with something pretty cool you probably saw in a past video this is from starbucks okay so i've got this bed mulched out for weed prevention with coffee grounds that you can get for free from starbucks i'll post a link to that video at the end of this video so these are tomatoes these are big boys and these are better boys and this is what it looks like when you don't put everything in appropriately so i've still got to put in my tomato cages over here but first we've got to build out all these boxes so i've got this space right here in the garden i've got this awesome garden soil we're going to bring the little tractor down here we're going to fill up these beds and we're going to make some more room for some raised garden beds now you guys might be questioning this is white oak okay white oak will last white oak will last a very very long time so these beds should last somewhere in the neighborhood of eight…
