Hi, Ants produce formic acid, which helps them change the texture of the soil, maintain their environment and has other benefits for them. It may be contributing to the rust you are seeing on those particular bolts.

I used pvc to make hoops over my raised beds so I can have row covers or netting over them for the whole season of I need to. In my case, it keeps the deer from nibbling things. The only thing I haven’t figured out how to keep covered are the tomatoes and other tall vining plants.
-
One thing you can do to keep the cats out of your beds is to spread cayenne pepper on the ground. They will only use it one more time if that. All of my beds are Huglekulture and they shrink every year a few inches. This last year (year 5) they shrank about 6 inches. I'm thinking they are starting to break down.

The wood inside the bins holds moisture. Al on Lumnah Acres moved his beds from setting them up the year before and was able to find a stick in the bottom and could squeeze water out of it. Seen others and their logs they put in shrank dramatically. So just know you will have to add more dirt each year. That isn't a bad thing either. Already planted my bins and the most problem was with rolly polly bugs eating the lima beans. Never known them to be a pest. Your bins look so good.

Those are nice tyfs hugs from South Ga.

We never got to see how well the garden plants did or shrubs did from last year

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and gardening

A lot of beautiful raised beds for fun in the garden. I'm looking forward to seeing what is going on the ground this year. You children are so tall! Nice children. Thanks so much for your videos. Love from Central Oklahoma.

Hey Sam and Angela! Great video. Glad to hear the beds are holding up well! We did make improvements to our Birdies bed in the fall. All our Beds are now have stainless steel nuts and bolts to further minimize the chance of rust. Plus, you're right, we do have a new bracing kit made of galvanized steel! - Kevin

I built wood beds about 4 years ago and I have to add a little soil to them every year.
-
we had problem with neighbors cats using our beds, but not no more since we put up a premier one netting fence with solar enigizer for chickens.

Looks great
-
Thanks for the update on the garden beds. They are sturdy and ready for planting.😊
-
We had neighborhood cats once that LOVED using my flower beds as their personal bathroom. My late husband suggested putting nails about every inch or so, with the point sticking up about 1/4 inch. They didn't hurt the beds or the flowers, and the cats hated the feel of them on their paws. Saved my sanity!!
-
I used the Kellogg stuff topsoil in one of my planners last year and the other planner I use miracle grow. the flowers were twice as nice in a miracle grow planner as they were in the Kelloggs fact I had trouble keeping the plants in the Kellogg planner alive. . I won’t use it again. I hope you have better luck than I did with the soil. I’ll be watching to see I enjoy your videos thank you.
