Walmart carries food grade 5 gallon buckets in paint department
Curious if a year on your choice for use of peat moss is still prevalent or if you’re moving on to using more coir
I went to Lowe’s last week for perlite and they only had perlite with fertilizer in it . Is there a place that I can order just regular perlite on line ? I don’t drive far from home
Did you use compost only mix with perlite and peat moss nothing more?.
Have you ever grown sweet corn in these containers? I am thinking of giving that a go this Summer.
I tried all summer to do container gardening on my patio. I didn’t do very well, but I learned a lot. I’m going to start over as soon as springtime arrives.
james malabar spinach is what i grew up with eating with monggo beans back home in the philipines!
Hi James, how many times a month do you fertilizer your container plants?
Thank you for your sharing. We are also a horticultural products supplier and manufacturer. I wonder if I have the opportunity to cooperate with you.
Thank you!!!!
Great advice thank you . I haven’t any room here for in ground planting .
Thanks for this! Now I have the confidence to grow somethings on my apartment patio!
hey instead of adding your top dress to more soil add it to worm castings to feed the microbes in the soil. Check out a product called Recharge. since youre in containers you need to add microbes to help break down biological material.
this is nice, but am in Nigeria i believe our soil texture are different. How do i go about it
I do this exact thing, but I often put newspaper at the bottom over the holes and put a layer of river rock over that… and then the dirt. Not sure why I use the rocks…. but the news papers keeps the water from eroding the soil as quickly.
Red Malabar Spinach is called "Efo Amunututu’ in my tribe, Yoruba, Nigeria . it is of 2 types the green and the red type. I am happy to see it on your channel. I am impressed.
Thank you. Now more than ever we need to feed our family. 🙏
Oh no, I just grew veggies for an entire season using this perlite. I should have read that very fine print. Is all of my container soil bad forever or would it wash away? What would you all do with this soil?
Beginner here…when you are talking about the perlite, why is the enriched with miracle grow one a bad thing?
This guy and his dog are great! Go Tuck! Protect that garden!
I did some of this today, same soil mix 😊
I was not ready for the level of energy coming out the gate lol
Great video! I moved to Vegas and it’s sooo hot here. Haven’t been able to grow much. I’m starting over with white buckets. Using all your pointers.
I do need help with an organic way of stopping bugs from eating my peppers. Any recommendations?
How do you make mushroom compost James?
Hello am kay and I live in the Caribbean, I would like to know how to grow a dwarf guava tree.. and also how can I treat pest in my garden?
I don’t know what Lowes you go too but there are NO FOOD GRADE 5 gal buckets at Home Depot or LOWES! They are so much more expensive than you portray.
If you dont have any compost. Can you use. Dried. Leaves
Beautiful garden
Love your gardening excitement. Appreciate the tip about little n tall plants 🪴 for sunlight reception.
Thanks 😊
Can you put rocks in bottom of bucket
That’s the way you do it get them hands dirty. True farmer.
So much good info in this one. Thanks, James!
I’m so glad you mentioned food grade buckets. I had no idea there was such a thing and I was going to use just any ol’ 5 gallon bucket.
Thanks
I wish i can grow plants in containers. Cause i have a very small space
@1:33 Black pots are definitely bad even up here in Minnesota and North Dakota. I recommend white.
hmmm, your "patio" looks a lot like a big back yard….
I like to cut large holes in the sides of the buckets and line them with weed fabric to hold the soil in. This prevents plants from becoming root-bound.
What’s up James. Robert here from San Francisco. Newbie with a brown thumb ready to dive into gardening with a goal to start a salsa garden. Not a lot of room. Thinking about starting with a small bucket garden before graduating to a raised bed. Stumbled to your page and inspired. Thanks
You’re already my favorite garden guy. Just subscribed and liked. I’m your neighbor in PA.
Would it be ok to sit the pots directly on the concrete?
I could watch your gardening all day
Excellent vid! TY. I grow on my deck and place my pots and grow bags with water hog plants like toms, cucs ‘n squash in cat litter boxes so they get wet to the roots & can self wick, this also allows the drained water with nutrients to wick back up. (Dollar Tree and they are in their 3rd year with no wear or cracking). Easy to control the amount of rain water, if needed just tilt to empty. I’ve been doing this 3 yrs now very successfully.
My herbs and other plants are on 1" tall school lunch trays, more shallow and also working very well (Restaurant Supply).
I know food grade buckets are best but my area is out. Ive got about 25 full of plants. Can I use regular buckets? I’ve got plants that need to go in buckets and can’t find food grade. Hopefully someone sees this and can answer
How many gallons of water would you need for each container??
I’m inspired! It’s my first time to plant vegetables and I failed😓 i will try this next summer. Thank you
James, thanks for all the items in the description, do you have videos specifically explaining how to use each product?
Love this video and your sweet pup 🙂
