Video Description

In this video, I share why I'm filling my raised bed garden with weeds to boost growth! Did you know that you can make fertilizer from weeds and use weeds to fill a raised bed and save money on soil? It's true! Weeds are chock full of nutrients, and composting weeds is a great money saving hack for your vegetable garden. I just built some extra deep raised beds, and I'm using weeds hugelkultur style to not only save money filling raised beds, but as a way to add more nutrients to my garden for free!
