Prepare Raised Garden Beds for Staining

understand exactly what we're doing and how they look I love the beautiful aged oak wood look but I also know if I don't preserve this wood it's going to rot because it's in direct contact with the ground so let's check it out all these beds these raised beds are four by eight four feet wide by eight feet long pretty soon guys stay tuned subscribe the channel we're going to build a chicken coop that's mobile that we can move modular across all the beds right here now this is what we have here this wood is old it's dry it's gray but it's not decrepit it's really really solid white oak and these will last for years and years now they'll slowly melt down into the ground in other words they'll slowly start to rot down into the ground so maybe five years from now they might be sitting down about right there but that's okay you can use any type of wood you'd like to use I like to use some natural stuff right from the farm so without further Ado I'm going to take a rake and I'm going to show you guys exactly how I prep these beds for spraying them with the wood Defender simply put the wood Defender is ready to go ready to spray you just got to stir it really good put it in the pump sprayer you can use a smaller pump sprayer or you can use a backpack just like we have here but we cannot have this so we got to get this stuff off take a little broom wipe it off we're going to take a rake rake back the soil rake back soil here and then we're going to cover all this up before we start spraying here's your pro tip so here's an old wood Defender bucket that I had you can use any kind of bucket take your bucket and give it a squeeze if you can using a metal bucket you can use a smaller bucket if you like give it a little squeeze and you'll make a lip right here see how I made that oblong and it'll make it easier to pour into my pump sprayer right here we're going to mix this real quick we're just going to pour back and forth from this bucket to the other bucket [Applause] [Music] you will make a huge mess if you don't pay attention to what I'm telling you right here guys I'll post a link to this product down in the video description for you in case you have a fence or a deck there is a 200 series that's made for decks this is made for upright services that don't have any type of traffic on it so we're going to go ahead we've got one of the beds already prepped up we raked all the soil to the center and then we raked all the soil away from the bottom of the bed I'll show…
