Summary

In this episode of The Beet, the boys are back! Kevin is rethinking the harvest, focusing on using what he grows instead of chasing maximum yields. Jacques is expanding his container garden, and both are deep in garlic mode, proving you can build a thriving setup (and community) one bulb at a time. Along the way, they dig into potatoes once reserved for royalty, why raised beds might be the best way to grow them, and how to trellis grow bags like a pro.

And then you put a cross beam across.

0:19.0

And it's actually better to use two two by fours sandwiched together placed vertically rather than one four by four or like one two by four placed towards a lot because it'll basically bow like crazy.
