In the film, we show you how to easily, step by step, build a raised bed yourself in the spirit of permaculture. Permaculture is the cultivation of plants in a way as close to nature as possible, using ecological solutions. We create the bed without digging the ground (no-dig). Such a bed has a number of advantages that you will learn about in the film. A raised bed is a great solution for people who have clayey, waterlogged soils, in which plants have difficult growth conditions. It is worth remembering that such a bed requires quite frequent watering, because the soil in it warms up faster. Therefore, it is better to create it in the garden under the house, where we can look after it every day. If we have such an opportunity, it is worth installing an irrigation system on it. Additionally, we recommend using mulch after the vegetables have grown to reduce water evaporation and weed growth. You can grow vegetables, strawberries, herbs, and even ornamental plants on such a bed. Another great solution is alternating planting vegetables with ornamental plants, such as marigolds, which not only look beautiful, but also help in the fight against soil nematodes and repel whiteflies and snails, among others. 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Step 1 - Build the box 03:03 Step 2 - Secure the box 03:30 Step 3 Lay out the cardboard boxes 03:59 Step 4 Fill the bottom of the bed with organic matter 05:17 Step 5 Add manure 06:15 Step 6 Pour in compost soil 06:35 Step 7 Pour in soil 06:55 Step 8 Enrichment with basalt flour 07:35 Advantages of raised beds 08:36 Conclusion Follow our channel and we will show you in spring how we cultivate our bed.
