I am a long time gardener, I am 80 years old. We have 4 acres and have been gardening in the ground, fighting weeds, and bugs =back pain. Your method of container gardening on elevated grow tables is an excellent idea, that will help me to continue gardening in my old age. Thank you.

This is so inspiring to read; you have no idea! I'm 72 and once upon a time had a 5 acre garden and canned *so much*. I tried growing tomatoes in containers last year but unfortunately got way too late of a start. I've got a handle on it this year, though! Keep on doing what you're doing and commenting whenever you can because you truly are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤ 🎉 😊

I can vouch for you on upright gardening. Many years ago a went to a U Pick Strawberry farm in North County San Diego. I think it’s the San Mateo Sand ( very unique characteristic not really found anywhere else in the world where the strawberry beds were way higher than knee high with all the berries easy to pick . It was like walking in a trench between the berries with the walls firm and not collapsing.

Hollis, I have almost 40 acres but my best gardening was done on my second story deck in containers because the deer thought my garden in the ground was only for them. I've noticed your deer fencing. Is there somewhere that makes wire fencing that tall or do you have 2 runs of 48 inch fencing with one installed above the other?

Many people get home deliveries of food and medicine in foam coolers. I rescue those coolers from the curb and use them as planters. The foam also insulates the roots from the heat. Another advantage of container gardening is pest control. Root knot nematodes love okra. It's easy to remove the contaminated soil so that the other plants aren't affected.

Years ago, someone either dumped their bunnies, or they escaped. Our yard bunnies are all descendants of those former pets. They expect to be fed, and will actually come on the back porch and thump the door. They have their own tiny garden patch this year to help keep them out of the in-ground plants and away from the house. They won't touch the purple cabbages, but boy do they love the green ones! We eventually hope to catch a few of them to keep as pets and for their spherical outputs to mix back into the garden.

Some great points here. We do similar (also on a 5 acre plot) but we generally use only two sizes of pot (15 or 30 litres, approximately 3.5 or 7 US gallons). We don't go any smaller for growing things as the wind on our site is just too strong, the bigger containers generally (not always!) stay where they're put when full of damp growing materials. We do our seed starts in reusable heavy duty commercial growers starting trays, we then plant out the plug plants from these to overcome slugs. As for your raised tables for growing and planting, they're a fantastic thing for old and young alike, definitely worth building. Keep up the awesome work here on KZbin. All the best from the wild and windy Highlands of Scotland! 👍🌱

Last season I planted a variety of lettuces for the first time. I saw that they were ready for harvesting. I decided to wait until the next day because I was busy that. When I went out the very next morning to harvest my heads of lettuce I saw that the rabbits mowed down my lettuces, as if I hired them to mow my lawn. 😂😂😂 Those rabbits gave them a nice low cut. So this season I will definitely be growing them above ground

I’ve been a farmer too for 25 years back in my younger days. Now every thing I grow has to be in containers due to physical conditions make it easier for the lower back problems, easy to move m, around. But not only that, I plant them in small containers because I can’t carry heavy stuff either. I also grown indoors under grow lights especially when the cold states to kick in. Reason for growing in small containers for more space and more varieties of vegetables. I just love the compact garden now. Thanks for sharing your video.

One crop that is not easy to water in a container if you have them in a bank is potatoes. I simply have no idea where the container is because of the foliage. My solution is, as soon as I'm sure I will not have to use fleece to protect against frost, insert a 5 foot cane in the middle of each 50/60 litre bag and when watering aim at the base of where the cane must be. Shorter canes tend to get lost in the foliage. One advantage of a container that I use is to nestle them into deep mulch. Roots systems can penetrate through the drainage holes into the mulch, which is a reservoir of water and nutrients but the plants are still elevated from when growing and not harvested in the ground.

I found the best way to control slugs with diatomaceous earth was to mix a heaping scoop in a sprayer and shake as I apply it ( the DE is not water soluble and will precipitate and clog you nozzle otherwise) and spray it on the ground and leaves, tops and bottoms. I did wonders on my strawberries. Worked for almost two weeks even in the rainy season.

This is my second time watching your video, but I took notes this time. I've been gardening only a few years now, seriously. I live in suburbs with a very large plot. However, I've been losing in-ground space due to tree roots chocking out anything in/at ground level. Your chat about plant pots and what you grow in them helps me a whole bunch. Plus, I'm building your bucket frames. I have to grow vertical if I want food. Budget wise, I can't afford new wood now, but I'm going to upcycle better pallet wood from window stores, etc. Plus some old privacy fence sections to make my tables n frames. I'll replace it as funds permit. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.

My husband says it takes to much soil to do in containers but I am doing some this year. I got grow bags as a gift this year and going to see what I can grow in those this year and pray I can get some help with the earth garden until I can get enough area for grow tables and raised bed. Live in the north so short growing season and really need what I can grow to help with my food needs. God's blessing to you and yours

We live in Maine, and agree the traditional growing season is very short, usually Memorial day to late September. However, we've learned what plants can handle the cold, and have been getting them sown as soon as the frost in the ground is gone. Mid Apil. Peas, lettuces, spinach, onions, brassicas are all good examples. And when early varieties are done, again, replant varieties that will do well into October. Now you've extended your growing season from3 1/2 months into 6 months In regard to purchasing soil, and again it's expensive. Save it, when you harvest and revitalize/amend it in a garden cart/wheelbarrow/large bucket, refill the pot and carry on. These are easy ways to borrow time from Mother Nature. Personally, I hate a baron garden, much prefer the color green as soon as possible after 4-5 months of white/grey, and brown. Good Luck 😊

Our first year gardening, we grew EVERYTHING in 100 5 gallon buckets. Very compact and it was lots of fun and we had great yields. We have moved to raised beds, but your comment on smaller containers for lettuce, radish, and spinach have made me think we might need to do something there. Always love your videos

You two are such a blessing. I found you to day 5/4/24. My 2nd year container garden. I have 2 acres but, will be 66 in August and widowed 2 x before age 54. Its been rough. Ive been wondering about size of containers. This is so much help. THANK Y'ALL and GOD BLESS!!

Great idea. Thank you. You can put the containers on rain gutters, closed both ends of the gutters, fill the rain gutters with water and have the plants wick water from below. You can even set up automatic float valves to have the rain gutters self-fill from water barrels, better yet rain barrels.

LOVE this video, Hollis! Living in Ohio now, but looking at property in Arkansas. Container gardening would be terrific there, too, because of the rocky soil conditions. This is exciting stuff. I don't have to give up gardening simply because the rich soil I'm used to isn't available in my new region. I'd love to see more of this topic. Hi, Nancy! Love to you from this old Buckeye State! "Have a blessed day!!"....aw, you are amazing. I love hearing that.

Hello Hollis, my husband & I have watched you & Nancy for years! We have finally found our homestead & want to plant an orchard of dwarf fruit trees in containers, but don’t know what size to use. You & Nancy are always enjoyable fun to watch & make everything so easy to learn. Please instruct us in the proper size.
