So how deep of a container should I have my celery that I am growing from scrap in?
Apples for sure this year will be going up in price, and will be hard to find. They had snow and freezes during the blossoming this year. ☹
Hi Robbie!! I don’t have a juicer either!! Show us how you juice!!!
The drought, brought to us by California’s brain-dead politicians. Time to wisely use tax dollars to invest in water desalination plants.
I put large clear plastic totes over my totes with peppers, tomatoes and watermelon. They are growing all so big! I do have to weight down the clear totes with a piece of 2×4. I am in zone 8.
I need to hurry and make some lids! A fat juicy caterpillar looking worm is eating my spinach! Nothing else, just the spinach. TFS!
People’s Convoy has moved on to Washington. California residents, please pay attention to what your state government is doing. 10 nasty bills being voted on now. PLEASE STAND UP!!!!
Hi Robbie…(my brother’s name too! (actually it’s Robin) but we call him Robbie…I don’t know if my tree kale will make it but I tried. I transplanted the 2 slips I got from Ebay and they are looking kinda sick but still alive…I wanted really bad to get some landscape fabric and put it down in the garden, then put wood chips on top and then put chairs, or blocks and ladders or something to get the totes and containers up where I could tend them. It appears to cost more than I can spare right now so I will have to settle for a few totes I have been making my own soil in on the back porch. I feel sad about it but hey, at least I have something I can do. Thank you SO much for all you share with us and taking the time to do so!!
I’ve used grow bags ( Walmart reusable bags) in a kiddie pool system. I loosely followed Larry Hall’s kiddie pool grow system.
I just poked a drain hole I didn’t do any plumbing or auto fill valves. I’m not handy like that lol
I also used his rain gutter grow system ( again no plumbing just mosquito fish in gutters because I didn’t cover it) with buckets. My things grew well, particularly tomatoes.
This year I’m doing totes and in ground. Oh, and self watering buckets I’ve had a couple of years already. I stacked them to save space after seeing yours stacked. Trying to use what I have and put plants wherever I can.
You should start selling your seeds.
You can definitely avoid dealing with the cancer causing fertilizer. All you have to do is buy your starts from your LOCAL NURSERY as opposed to those Bonnie Plants sponsored by Monsanto at those home improvement and big box stores.
The bird may be thirsty which is why they are going for the strawberry 🍓
G’day from South Australia 🇦🇺 🐨 🇦🇺.. Super video Robbie.
Plant crops for now end paranoia
I’d like to see the juicing
Thank you for the updates. I have potatoes growing in boxes and a trash can. I put bell peppers in grow bags and this year trying eggplant in them. I use everything to plant in and raise it up so i can reach my plants. I now have 2 chair 2 totes thanks to your idea. i plan on adding a row of these as i find free ones. I use laundry baskets and produce baskets milk crates that were in the trash lined with landscape fabric. I have a basket full of 2 ltr bottles. Holes inch up, cut off top and perfect size for my romaine lettuces that like tall root space. Radish and small beets grow in old free gutters. Have a great weekend.
I would like to see how the “ ladder and totes” are doing.
This is what I do also. Containers and pots cuz we are in an RV.
Yes, I’m very interested in how you juice! I don’t have a juicer, either.
Chicken bags remind me plant Feb wrapped in foil bags never hurt roots gently
Robbie I know you’ve done videos about egg plant but since I don’t like it I need inspiration to grow it. Egg plant does so well in the heat I’d like to learn to like it.
Thank you Robbie and Gary for you videos. The food security I have today is because of you.
Can someone share how many plants we put in each 18 lb tote? I have tomatoes. Cukes, zucchini, summer squash, green beans, arugula and much more..thank you I’m advance!
Love 3. Percent root mass at time
Everyone should definitely grow something. Even if it is just a little bit of something, such as green onions in a jar of water.
Your garden is looking great. I really like your giant round zucchini.
This winter, I put cloches around some of my more tender plants. I lost every one. I thought they were gone but the exotics have come back from the ground. I guess I protected them enough that the roots were still good. All my basil did die, but I have a lot of seeds and several have volunteered. The nights were still cold though, so they have mostly been waiting. Looks like the coming days will have nights in the 50s, so the warm weather plants should finally be happy.
I do hate channels that imply gardeners have to buy soil. My mother did not have any money and she grew gardens all over the place. She knew how to get free soil, free containers, free fertilizer, and free plants and seeds. I am not completely free, but I spend very little money on the garden. One block fo coco coir will last me at least a year. I mostly use it as part of my seedling mix and it eventually makes it into the rest of the garden.
I love that you emphasize free or low cost while growing lots of food. It makes me angry when people are convinced they cannot grow food without money. Millions of poor people around the world grow food with no money. Everyone just needs to do what the earth does and grow.
Hi, just wanted to ask if that is enough soil you have for each of the totes, it looks like it wouldn’t be deep enough to plant vegetables loke sqash, watermelon, etc
Although the containers are low cost, they do add up. So I’m looking for other options.
I have not seen tree collard in Southern Utah.
I bought my totes Sterilite at Walmart, and really want to make those elevated covers you make with the lids. I started with making a hole with iron, as you do, then I tried cutting with a scissor. It is impossible with every scissor I tried. Then I tried with using the welding round end iron – and I’ve done about a foot, but it looks really jagged. What do you suggest? Thank you, I’m very inspired by your creativity!
Excellent💯
Love the color
Robbie, your discussion on plants judging the temperature is fascinating. I suspect it has to with enzymes, which are temperature sensitive. If you could warm just part of a plant, that part would activate certain enzymes of growth for the whole plant. That’s just my armchair theory for what it’s worth.🤪
Your watermelons would probably do great up against that tall masonary wall…
Or course we want to know how you juice now. 👀😉
Robbie I would love to know how you make your juice.🍹
Could I put 2 purple tree collards in one tote with a compost in place system and them do good forever?
I’d like to know how you juice as I would like to but don’t have a juicer.
Good afternoon from Sunny Savannah Georgia I always I always give a like and I am a subscriber. But today I wanted to let you know how appreciated you are. Your methods and tips have changed the way I grow my garden. Everything has improved and is looking great. The composting in place has totally changed my life. It solved two majors problems for me: waste and fertilizer. Again thank you so much for sharing your life with us!!!😁💚🙏🙏🥒🥦🍅🌶
Robbie, thank you for your common sense discussions about the importance of growing your own food. As corporate profits rise and wages stagnate, we need to be paying attention to our own self-preservation. You are so right about how much healthier your own food is than store-bought. Please keep bringing up these subjects. Happy gardening!
Yes show how you juice
Where do you get your colored hanging bulbs
Yes, show us how you juice without a juicer
Seattle zone eight same problem melons lunch bag size June bigger all summer full cantaloupe September one

Yes to the juice video, I don’t have a juicer either.🥰
Robbie, thank you for giving people accurate information about the food they buy. Please also mention that more than 70 percent of non-organic fresh fruits and vegetables sold in the U.S. contain traces of potentially harmful pesticides, according to a new report from Environmental Working Group, Apr 7, 2022
Hello we watched your video last year on how to make a waterfall for hummingbird’s. This year my hummingbird population is down to hardly nothing and I haven’t had time to watch your videos this year due to the fact that we have a YouTube channel that takes up most of our time. My question is Have you noticed a lower hummingbird population this year and if so do you know why?
Hello! Love your videos very inspiring. I’m gonna be doing totes this year, was wondering if I could do a layer of old chicken pine shavings in the tote? Or if that wouldn’t break down enough? Thank u!
