Last Year Almost Broke Our Garden—Here’s How We’re Fixing It

Last year taught us some hard lessons in the garden—and this year, we’re doing things differently. In this video, we walk through the garden and break down the major changes we’re making to set ourselves up for a better growing year. From soil choices to structural upgrades, this is a real, honest look at what worked, what failed, and how we’re rebuilding smarter. 🌱 What we cover in this garden walk-through: Why we’re using barn soil as bedding for our vegetable beds How cinder blocks are becoming the new foundation for our garden layout The mistakes from last year that forced us to rethink everything And yes… the story of a loose pig that completely destroyed the garden 🐖💥 This isn’t a picture-perfect garden tour—it’s real homesteading.
