Hey there! I am super excited to share my new Vego garden bed. Thanks to the good folks at Vego Garden (https://vegogarden.com) for sending me this bed! ***Vego Garden is also having a massive Labor Day sale with up to 40% off. ***
In this video we will walk through the step by step assembly and filling the 32 in tall bed using a take on the hugelkultur method. I will also share some mistakes I made along the way along with a few tips that I believe will make your experience assembling the raised bed, that much easier! Thanks for watching! 🎥: August 2023
