You've never seen a tractor work like this! Grow a better garden every year!

What happens here

Start by removing old plant supports, such as the concrete reinforcement wire panels used as trellises for gourds and the T-posts they are attached to. Cut any zip ties or ties holding the trellises in place using pruning shears or wire cutters. Gently pull out the T-posts from the ground, noting they should not be driven too deep for easy removal. Remove any dried plant vines, gourds, or other debris clinging to the trellises and cages. These removed structures should be cleaned and stacked for future reuse.

Goal: Remove old trellises, stakes, and cages from the garden bed, cleaning them of dried plant material for reuse or storage.

Tools and materials

put it back in a bee box so guys a lot of thought needs to go into how you plan your little homestead so that you don't have to move things so that your honeybees are easy to catch so that they pollinate your fruit trees and they pollinate your garden it's all a symbiotic relationship and it all works together so as you may have already guessed the most tedious part of this is just going to be cutting zip ties and laying this cage over to the side these are 6 or 8-foot these are let's see there are 6 foot panels that you lay inside concrete forms you can get them at your local Lowe's or Home Depot or whatever hardware store but they work great as lattice work or trellis work for your garden and you can use them year after year after year after year now these are t-posts and we put t-post in and we only put them in about this deep just deep enough to support the plants this is the organic material will be chopping up with the tough cut and as you can see these gourds basically it just turned into paper we also have some stalks down here and I'll pull a stock for you some of these stalks are compostable and some of these stalks are really woody and this is a Goliath sunflower seed and you can see it's almost like wood so we can't tell that we need to chop it up first whatever we can't chop up fine enough to use the tiller with we'll push up into a pile we'll either burn it or we'll compost it most likely we'll burn it and then we'll push the ashes out on the garden all good stuff for your garden first order of business is pulling up these stakes Josh why do you have steaks at the end of each row because I have them labeled mammoth sunflower 1/2 cantaloupe 1/2 watermelon so basically I just go get a pack of these steaks and they'll last probably two or three years and I'll label them what they are now this year I'll paint over top of it with some white spray paint and then write it again cool and I also put the day that I planted them guys let this be lesson number one in your garden keep records pay attention to what you do and keep records row after row seed after seed write down what type of seed you use get a little notebook and take notes on your garden and you'll improve every single year now we've also got to think about rotationally planting this garden so in other words where our tomatoes were last year is not where our Tomatoes will go this year corn beans all that stuff where those things were will not be where they are this year we want to rotate…
