Another cool raised vegetable gardening video from raised fork show

I love this story about Sepp Holzer and his raised vegetable garden methods



Sepp Holzer is a farmer in Austria who knows how to use the raised vegetable garden to get around the problem of poor soil. This video moves at a slow pace, but I like that, and you can really learn a lot from the story.

Great tip about sourcing railway sleepers for a raised vegetable garden. 

Raised garden beds are now an established part of modern garden architecture, and sleepers give a solid, timeless look. Proper railway sleepers, usually made from jarrah, are prohibitively heavy (they sink in water) and cutting them will warp the hardest saw blade, so instead, I go for macrocarpa every time.
