I thought these were some clever ideas to create cheap grow bags and even a raised bed further into the video with chicken wire and weed cloth. In 2020 I purchased a crap ton of grow bags and they work really well. The price on those things is rediculous now though. I like them so much better than the 5 gallon buckets I tried in the past. Buckets are an option too though if you have them handy. If anyone was thinking about trying to grow some things, but your yard isn't quite prepared for planting, these might be an option.

I definitely would use the bucket or grow bag method though, so I appreciate your post. A friend of mine never really gardened either but a mutual friend built her a great little raised bed. Super small, manageable, and she had a good outcome right out of the gate last year. It was the the cutest little garden and she got a fair amount of produce off of it! Now she's having him build 3 or 4 more, lol.
I'm not outdoorsy and it's taken me many years just to get semi-okay with houseplants, so I'm still easing my way into the notion of any veggie planting. My big step this year is planting some canna bulbs in big pots around my patio. My neighbor has too many and I have wanted to do a bit more out there. It seems like something even I could handle and not too much work, which is what I want. Plus, my hummingbird visitors like them. |

Quoting: KickinIt Awesome!! Tomatoes are a good start, and super easy to preserve. Zucchini is pretty prolific and easy to preserve too. If you can afford the grow bags, they would be better than the ikea bags for sure. If gardening seems daunting you can focus on just one crop and see how close you can get to preserving 1 years worth of that crop. Consider the other plants as side projects. Then the next year, add another plant to the focus list. Tomatoes are great because you can just toss them whole into the freezer until you can use or maybe can them. These bags in the pic (not cleaned out or ammended yet from last year) are going into the 3rd year, and have been left out all seasons. Still holding up like new. My yard is mostly pool, and the beds along the side of the yard are not great soil and a ton of rocks. (we are at the base of a mountain) I have one raised bed I had built in, but it's only 17 feet by 8 feet. (you can see my onions in there so far) This past week we put down some weed cloth and wood mulch under the 4 x 4's we have under the pots. But if your yard doesn't flood you can put them straight on the dirt. I put mine on two 4 x 4's from the beginning so they would be above any occational soggy flood that area gets lol.
