In this video we will take a look at the second part of the vegetable garden.
It's the bigger of the two vegetable gardens and has three large raised beds approximately 8'6" x 8'6" with a few smaller beds too - all made of hardwood railway sleepers. None of those fake modern softwood 'sleepers' (which don't last 5 minutes) here.

They may be mega-heavy but the proper sleepers are there to stay. When I'm an old man I don't want to be fannying about rebuilding anything.....

The price has gone insane since I bought mine in early 2020....I paid around £90 then. Next year it will probably be over £200 if the hyper-inflation continues.

It was a bit of a task making the raised beds so substantial and getting the filters linked up to the garden by pipes but it has definitely been worth it.
The mesh I used for the crop protection as shown in vegetable garden 1 (previous video) can be found here: https://ebay.us/jb9FlJ
and the woven landscape fabric used in the raised beds can be found here: https://ebay.us/T6xJTz
Other versions of protection mesh and landscape fabric are available but I chose these types as I know they last. No point wasting credits in the bank on stuff which doesn't last....

If you have eyes to see now is the time to save up and take action to be self-reliant and more self-sufficient. As I am not blind to what goes on behind the headlines I've had the luxury of being able to save up over a few years for these projects but nothing is more important than self-reliance and learning new skills since skills are (or soon will be) the new currency.
Money well spent. Fake 'money' exchanged for something of real value - that's a great deal.
