VIDEO: Fill Raised Beds for Cheap || Epic Gardening

/in ,

Filling raised beds with the perfect soil can get pretty expensive. Kevin Espiritu from @Epicgardening is here to help you do it for cheap using Espoma Organic Raised Bed Mix and a variation of the hugelkultur method

While filling raised beds can be expensive, there is a way to fill a garden bed on the cheap. Make use of any existing organic matter on your property (sticks, logs, brush, grass clippings, unfinished compost, etc.) to fill the bottom half of your bed, then fill the remainder with a high-quality soil mix like Espoma Organic Raised Bed Mix.

This method is particularly useful when growing in TALL (18″+) beds, as you don’t need the perfect soil mix all the way down. Over time, the fill material will break down and become food for bacteria, fungi, and other soil life and turn into high-quality soil for your garden over the years.

As always we recommend planting with Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus and feeding your established raised beds with Espoma Organic Plant-tone or Garden-tone.

VIDEO: Planting Asparagus in Raised Beds ?☀️ || Flock Finger Lakes

/in

Adding raised beds into your garden space doesn’t need to be complicated. Watch Summer from @flockfingerlakes assemble raised beds and fill them for planting some perennial crops. She plants asparagus and sunchokes using our Espoma Organic Raised Bed Mix and our Espoma Organic Vegetable & Flower Garden Soil.

Perennial crops don’t need to be replanted each year. After harvest, they automatically grow back. Many fruit, forage, and some vegetable crops, including fruit trees, alfalfa, grapes, asparagus, and olive trees, are perennial crops.

Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, are root vegetables that are members of the sunflower family. Sunchokes can grow to be 5 to 10 feet tall and produce beautiful yellow flowers and edible tubers that have a nutty flavor.

Asparagus plants can take three to five years to mature fully, but once they start producing you will be harvesting asparagus spears for more than a month every spring.

We recommend planting crops using Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus and then feeding perennial crops with either Espoma Organic Garden-tone or Plant-tone.

VIDEO: How to Plant Cabbage, Cauliflower & Broccoli ? || Wyse Guide

/in , ,

Are you ready to move your veggie seedlings outdoors?

Kaleb Wyse from @WyseGuide recommends planting these 3-4 weeks before your last spring frost.

When his seedlings are ready to move out to the garden, Kaleb preps his beds by adding a 1-2 inch layer of compost and also mixing in some @ESPOMAORGANIC Plant-tone or Garden-tone for extra nutrition and organic matter. He recommends planting these seedlings deep enough that they’re sturdy, but make sure their crown is exposed.

Follow along in the video below as Kaleb takes you with him in his garden to talk about the benefit of maintaining healthy soil in raised garden beds.

 

*****

Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower are cole crops and all members of the cabbage family. Cole crops are cool-season vegetables that grow best at temperatures between 60o and 70oF.  A reminder that cabbage takes about 60-105 days to harvest, cauliflower takes around 80 days to harvest and broccoli takes about 80-100 days.

Wishing you had started some cabbage, cauliflower, or broccoli seeds this year. Don’t worry, you can still purchase seedlings and plant them! No need to miss out on growing your own fresh veggies this season!
