That is so helpful! 🙂
your plants are very fertile. you can take good care of it..you are great
My containers do not attract worms for some reason. Can I add some to the totes?
Hi Robbie, I love your videos. You are such a pleasant lady. I wanted to say I would consider a tote as square foot gardening. I think it would be considered 11/2 square foot. That might make it easier to know how much to plant. Thank you for your videos♥️
Doin' a happy dance. Both our thrift stores had totes! Bought 5 Sterlite 18 gal totes for $2.75 TOTAL!! All in great shape. So, I'm up to 25 totes. The thrift stores had bigger totes, but I'm sticking with 18 gal.
Filled 2 totes with sticks, leaves, scraps and my soil… planted onion sets. Started tomato seeds in a plastic drink cup with a hole in the dome lid -for the straw. And, I did your trick of inverting the dome lid, stuck a paper towel "wick" down it—tomatoes seeds will soon be sprouting. Made 2 domed Tulle covered lids and 2 flat lids with cut out centers-covered in Tulle. ALL from your video instructions. Covering 1 domed lid with plastic so I can plant earlier.
I binge watch your videos! Then get too hyped up to sleep, because all of your awesome ideas keep jumping around in my 72 year old head. And, I've never been more hyped up over gardening IN MY LIFE!! THANKS! 😊
Hi Robbie! So fun to see the comparison between the totes!! Off topic, I have a question regarding growing ginger. Since you most recently showed us you are the queen 👑 of growing it…. I have some organic ginger from the store and want to plant it. Do you need to bury it? Halfway bury it? Lay it on its side? Since I do not have the long, full year to grow it, I plan to bring it into my cooler basement for the winter. Any other suggestions?? Thanks for your advice!! Have a wonderful evening!! ☺️
I agree. Just leave him be for now! Thx!!!
I follow the sq foot garden method! 16 radish per square foot so 20… I actually stumbled up a vlog with multiple harvests in the same spot… like radish then tomato then radish… lettuce-potato-lettuce… kale-peppers-kale for spring summer fall! I'm so excited to get so much more out of my harvest this year!
Hello Robbie and Gary thanks again for sharing great information today.
Robbie I tried to buy Walking onions and oh my they're so expensive. Thank you for sharing.
What about carrots! How many can you plant in a tote?
Thank you what about fruit berries in bins?
Robbie , may I ask a question? I composted in place last year. When I went to freshen up my totes for this years planting , I had found roaches in the bottom. They were going after my compost in there. I ended up throwing away my soil. Can you advise me where I may have gone wrong? My plants did so well, but didn't I realize what was going on in the bottom! Thanks
Thank you for this reminder! I always seem to get overzealous with my squash and melons and plant too many too close together. It always becomes a jungle. Without fail every year lol
I think I have some watermelons that need thinning…
Hi there my friend ! God bless you 😌! I think everyone has seen your videos ! The tubs at my Walmart Lowes and target are almost all gone ! 🤣
Keep doing videos 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks
Hi Robbie , are you dating anyone?
What do you think about asperagus? I am planning to put them in 2' diameter mineral totes. 10 crowns are coming. Ido not really want to dig a 2 ft hole in my clay for them. I saw one person put 4 in a smaller container and someone else one per tote
Great video sweet lady I always look forward to your videos have a blessed night
I heard you say there is a way to feed 2 squash in same tote . Would you mind showing / explain how ? Thank u so very much for this video because it answers a lot of why my results were not as productive!!
I’m in Durban South Africa and our climate is sub tropical. However we have a small river at the bottom of our garden and all our soil is river sand. Until I found you, I was spending a fortune on compost etc. Now thanks to you I’m moving over to containers. Totes are expensive here so it’s buckets and today I found some paint buckets put out for trash so they came home. Thank you so much for all your inspiration.
Right you are Robbie.. too many plants in a container would naturally compete for the available nutrients.. Only thing that I successfully planted 4 in each tote and which did quite well, were chilli peppers. I snipped all bottom sgoots. They grew upright and full… and produced a lot of flowers. But every 10 days, I had to add fresh compost, dried tea leaves or diluted seaweed to keep them all well fed. The results were gratifying. I had so many peppers that in spite of daily consumption, 18 months later, I still have some left in the freezer. 🌶🌶🌶
How do you keep squash bugs off your plants. I can’t keep squash alive because of them
Do you compost vegetable matter only or weeds too? If I cut off my weed roots from grass are they safe to add to my totes and compost tea buckets? Love your videos and giggles!
I have a question about one of my pumpkin seedlings? I wish I could send you a pic…
Robbie-why don’t you add T Posts and Cattle panel against your wall so that you can grow vertically? They’re not that expensive and you could grow so many crops vertically: melons, tomatoes, peas, squash, etc.🥰
You have the best ideas the best suggestions and the most encouragement 💗 watching you .
Wow! Thanks for teaching me to see it's NUTRIENTS, as much as SPACE. I pulled out 10 cucumber plants(sprouts) from my cardboard box bed, and planted them into separate pots to grow. I now will need more boxes….need to order more Amazon stuff 🤪🤣🤣
I always look forward to your videos, especially clips of Kitty!🐾🐶💕
Thank you for the video so informative. We head a hard frost here in the northeast or was brutal. It's great to see all your plants so green.
Hi i'm really new to growing food and have always been very nervous about doing it , your video just happened to pop up on my Youtube and you make it look so easy so am going to give it a go : ). I live in the UK so weather conditions are a little different here. I live in South Wales and we do get alot of rain. My question is can use clear plastic totes? Thanks.
You are my favorite!
I grow loads in containers as well
Even grapes, cherries, plum, apples etc
Dad had a tote, probably 10-13 gallons, where a caregiver stored food for one cat. I put the contents in a cereal keeper and promised him the cucamelons I will grow in it. He hasn't a clue what a cucamelon is, but he asks about HIS cucamelons.
You mentioned small plants, can you make a list of what are considered small plants and hungry plants..THANK YOU
Hi there Robbie! I luv, luv, luv ur videos! Question: Where can I buy walking onions from. Most sellers have very very poor ratings. Plz advise
FOR YOUR COMPOST DO YOU BAKE EGG SHELLS TO STERILIZE THEM?
Green beans, onions and garlic make good companion plants with squash, cucumbers, melons and (peppers and tomatoes I think). Thanks for all the great ideas y'all have.
