Hey guys what's up?? Garageking here!! Now I know this is not a car video....
Where live the soil is like super hard so I came across a weird idea that I
wanted to try it actually worked and i want to share
with you guys!!! I built my garden using a jackhammer!!! Don't worry still
going to have car vids, I'm not moving into
the gardening business but i just wanted to do a video on this just to show you that it works!!!
so here you can see just how hard this ground is i'm using this jackhammer tool
and what it's doing is it's actually just loosening up all the dirt
so i'll be able to shovel it out much more easier or i can use a pick
just to take it out so i'll speed it up because i know this part is going to be
a little bit boring but i know when i was digging before to
do my hot tub what happened was i actually almost gave up because it was
just so hard and i never thought about using the jackhammer
and it is a great idea so you can rent these at any tool stores really really
cheap so it's just a really good idea and i
wanted to share it so if anyone lives where the ground is really hard
they're just a great idea
now building a garden is still a lot of work this one was only four feet wide
by eight feet long so not too too big but you're going to need to recruit
workers, in this case my wife was the one that really wanted the garden :)
so as you can see her there she's working hard so it really wasn't a big
deal to recruit her to help do the work because she's the one
that really wanted this garden so i'll speed up this part because it's going to
get boring just watching us work and dig so
we can speed that up and you will see how we progress
now you can see we just hit a big piece of shale or maybe the side of a rock or
something and here is where the jackhammer really
comes in handy because we can just pull the jackhammer out
and get on that rock or piece of shale and break through it
so you can see we have it all dug out here now this is like I mentioned before
it's four feet wide by eight feet long and we went down about I don't know
7 or 8 inches or so so we got it cleaned up pretty good I'm not sure what
that is in metric but you know what i'll throw it up there for you all to see
and the one thing i was shocked is how much earth actually came out of
here now it doesn't look like it's a lot,
this is the size of the garden there you go it doesn't look like a lot
but wait till you see the back of my truck
okay so here we go you can see the back of the truck is
full and I don't know there's got to be easily over
i don't know i'm just guessing but easily over a 1000 pounds of dirt
there okay so we got some soil and we got some
plants
all right now in addition to this soil I got some chicken wire
and some rebar, and just some ties and stuff like that and i'm just gonna put
up some chicken wire now to protect the garden, now is the time to actually
do it because once the soil is in, to dig it down is
gonna be really hard so it's best to put the chicken wire in now
and as you can see i have some visitors here they're just inspecting what's been
done to their backyard they're not used to this so they're just
checking it out here you can see the rebar so i put the
rebar and the chicken wire in so it's down about six inches so this way
if we have any critters what's going to happen is
the chicken wire is below grade so this way i'm hoping
they won't be able to get into my garden so that's why it was important that I
did this step before putting the rest in okay so now you can see the soil is
all in we put a bunch in there there's my wife
still cutting more bags of soil to level it all out
here's all the plants that I bought for the garden now the problem with this is
I'm not a big gardener, I don't really know I even bought a watermelon plant :)
I didn't realize a watermelon took so much to grow, it needs so much room so it
took a long time so here if we pan in we can see I
finally got it all planted you can see it's darker now because it's getting to
be nighttime, it took me a full day to do this
but in one day I got it all done!!!!!!
Hopefully everything survives, if it doesn't I mean whatever it's a learning experience for
me and maybe i'll just plant some carrots next year if none of this
other stuff works out so anyway I do have
the automotive channel but this one was just a special episode video (garden)
there's another shot of it for you hopefully you've enjoyed the video
please subscribe don't worry I will not be stopping automotive content I just
thought that this was a really cool idea to do so please
give it a thumbs up I'd appreciate if you subscribe any questions on gardening
I may not be able to answer them..... But if you want to make comments go ahead and
I'll do my best thanks :)
