How to Protect your Organic Garden

How to Protect Your Garden

Hi! This is Andy Lopez of invisible gardener.

Now, we already put these raised beds together. We take a look behind here you see the raised bed. So, it’s already been put together but we want to protect where we’re going. So today we’re going to show you how to do a little system where we can water, at the same time, keep your plants around long enough for you to eat.

So we need, we’re going to have brackets which will hold the lines together. These are tee’s they are going to be used to make the sprinklers and connect the units together. And these are 90 degrees. They are going to be used to make the frame, and these are our little sprinkler heads here.

So, we’re going to use one-half inch PVC lines to work with. They’re really flexible, lots of different ways in which we can use this. That’s one and a half inch PVC lines.

So, I have taken the time. We cut the pieces up to where they’re going to go.

So all that’s left; the water is ready to release. See, this is top lines water. And we have to hook up some sprinkler heads up in there which will water the garden just fine. And then, we’re going to cover it with a shade cloth. The main reason we’re putting the cloth over is to protect it from creatures like rabbits, squirrels, and it will keep out other insects as well. We’re going to make this so that we can get in and out of it.

I have finished putting the PVC together and hooked up the water so that it gets watered automatically and then we’re going to be in the part where the next step is we’re going to hook up a shade cloth over it to protect it, keep the 30% of shade cloth that means that 70% of sunlight comes through.

You can use needle and thread nut because we did not have needle and thread, we can use anything, just use a regular wiring. And I’m going to use it to basically saw it together just to keep it where I wanted it to keep it. So I got little wire clips. You want to take it and you just wanted to tighten it down. And then you bend the end pieces. You do not want these end tips to get into people and scratch your things. You just wrap it all up and then I take it and wrap it behind over here like this. And there it is. That’s got a whole lot there.

And we staple the wood to it. And basically, all you got to do is lift it up and it keeps the bugs out. There you have it. All completely sealed in and to get in to it, all you got to do is lift it up to get in to it.

So, thank you very much. Happy growing organically, of course. Bye now.
