Opening the Greenhouse 🌱 Irrigation System, Compost + garden planning! | DIY DANIE

[@DIYDanie]

Sorry for some of the audio issues in this video! I had a faulty wire and I didn't know it! The problem has been fixed for future videos - PHEW!!! xo Thanks for watching ALSO - I got my annual and perennial messaging mixed up. ANNUALS are only one year - PERENNIALS come back EVERY YEAR. ok, thank youuuuuuu 😅

[@astorybookfinish5055]

Maybe do a short explaining the mix up. Besides It might draw attention to the long format. Fab hair by the way! 😮🤍 Loooooved the greenhouse vids!

[@ibmimi2566]

I loveeeee the new "do"!! So cute on you ❤

[@fabulouslyfrugalfancy]

I love the feed bag, my first thought was that it would make a perfect bag for harvesting your vegetables to take in and wash

[@HAppytobeHer]

Hopeful for a great growing season! Good luck!🍀

[@lz738]

Your hair looks cute! And cutting off the bottom of long hair is the quickest way to get it healthy again. And if you miss the purple, just used colored anti-brass shampoo for blondes that is purple.

[@katiefleece]

Danie! Your hair looks so LOVELY! Cannot wait for more gardening content. I'm also learning as I go with my garden, making more mistakes than I'd like to admit.

[@DIYDanie]

You dont learn if you dont make mistakes - I think that's the rule right? Im going to be sharing ALL the knowledge i've learned and will now put into practice this year - COME ON VEGGIES!!!

[@HAppytobeHer]

Joan of Arc vibes!!!!

[@damogranheart5521]

To quote Miss Frizzle on "The Magic School Bus," "Time to get messy, and make mistakes!"

[@letticason8435]

Annuals…. Plant annually Perennials…. Come up every year I absolutely love your green house and the Tun is every thing!

[@DIYDanie]

I KNOW I KNOW - I just said it backwards haha I'm blaming my dyslexia for both saying it that way and then not catching it haha xo OH BOYYYY

[@dianemcintosh2241]

I love everything from your hair to the vintage feed bag!! Maybe you could use the feed bag to gather your harvest?

[@DIYDanie]

ohhh what a lovely visual that creates xo

[@socialjusticejewelry]

Harvest bag was my thought too.

[@terrywilson5048]

Yep me too...my first thought when I saw that great bag🌹🌹

[@TamarLitvot]

That’s a lovely idea!

[@jenxer608]

Same here....I thought harvest bag as soon as I saw it.

[@ssstitanium]

Have you considered water collection - you could place a water tank/barrel by your compost bin behind the greenhouse - and connect to getters around the greenhouse. Its what I am hoping to do this year. ;)

[@northwoodfalls1403]

The greenhouse is everything. I am absolutely the sort of person who requires lovely spaces and things to keep me inspired and I can’t think of a more inspiring space to keep the love of gardening well fed 😊. I’m not much of a gardener myself. I do not have much of a green thumb, but I aspire to be at some point. I am surrounded by avid gardeners, though, and have been an up close observer to the process from being almost totally lost as to how to begin and what to do to them now being very knowledgeable and confident. There is one through line for them all, regardless of their natural talent for it: do not be afraid to “fail”. You will lose plants. Things just won’t work out like you planned them the first time. It takes years to really get to know your soil, sun patterns, weather cycles. Even insects have cycles and you may feel you have gotten all the details nailed down and along comes some random bug to upend it all. Various blights and rots and sometimes things just don’t flourish and you never can quite figure out why. It’s a very humbling enterprise but, from what I have observed, the more you let go and let the wild things tell you what they want, the more your garden will flourish and the more satisfying the experience will be. But it sounds like you, too, have avid and experienced gardeners in your family, so I’m sure you already know all this. I’m just wanting to cheer you on and affirm the entire enterprise. We humans are so used to being in control of our environments but nature always wins. Her wisdom is astounding to behold. I’m excited for you and look forward to seeing the journey unfold. Your hair suits you very well. It looks lovely 😊 I love how we so often mark a new chapter in our lives with a new haircut lol. I don’t know why we do, but it’s one of my favourite things about us. ❤

[@samanthajohnson3368]

I love the feed bag, I'm a horse lover so this is just a true joy for me to see. I think it has to be one of those thing that you use and enjoy around the garden. Tools, veg collection bag, weeding bag, the uses are endless. Your a lady after my own heart. Those things bring us so much happiness. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗

[@chaleyj]

I want to say I love your haircut and just your whole vibe. Have you thought about putting a timer on your new watering system?

[@jamiemasterson3029]

I really felt that with you, when you had an emotional moment of remembering Vince. I know he was so special to you, and your greenhouse is such a lovely homage to his legacy. I'm an OG subscriber and so I remember the videos of you going to Vince (your) "my Italian" for help with wood working. One of my absolute favorite projects that you did with Vince was that large bowed/warped piece of live edge wood that you made into a desk for a woman's office. (I think she is the person who creates that beautiful paint you used in the makeover). You and he worked really hard on that wood to get it straight. And I thought he was so sweet and that you two had such a lovely relationship. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He lives on in your greenhouse and in your videos.

[@denises9426]

Love the hair it’s so cute! You’re so sweet to share your tears for your stepdad. There’s no rules set in stone for grieving. Wish I was there to give you a big hug! Love you, love your channel. You are amazing. 🌼🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Hazel_Fox22]

Your hairstyle/cut is a real Kallmekris moment and I love it! Embrace the short hair life for awhile! Flirty, fun, and freeing!

[@MsArtistwannabe]

What a beautiful memory you have of Vincent.

[@m0nm0n]

Vintage bag idea - using it as a harvest bag to bring all your goodies inside from the garden to your kitchen

[@courtyerey8919]

Love your new hair! Looks great ✨💓

[@DIYDanie]

Thank You!!!! It's a change but a good change xo

[@mindi.m]

The greenhouse is and always will be my favorite build. For all the reasons 💙

[@melodypetry-johnson2309]

I lost my brother the same time you lost Vince. Your video gives me hope that I can one day enjoy my creative spaces again. I can't right now but someday

[@Britbabe53]

LOVE the hair! Raised garden beds, the higher the better.

[@evalova]

Danie, I´ve been a silent watcher for years but i just have to say: This is my all time favourite hair style of yours 😍 I know your purple hair ment more for you than just the color! But this suits you SO well! XO Eva

[@SparkyHale]

You’re hair looks beautiful, its not about the superficial aspect but the spiritual attachment we have to our memories

[@dianegraydon1143]

Dani...how cute are you...I love the cut..so sweet...love the raised bed idea ...keep in mind with your plans cutting the grass..I hate edging so I like my lawn mower to push right past raised beds, walkways etc...have you thought about seating...little area under your arbour between the raised bed ..a place for you and your mom to cool off and have a cold beverage...hugs from Belleville

[@vegancatmom]

Lovely hair! 💜 Great to have an irrigation system! 💚 (FYI with love: annuals only live one year and perennials return each year.)

[@thecunningkrugereffect]

I'm sure you've researched a bunch for this project but Epic Gardening with Kevin Espiritu, Regenerative Gardening with Brie, Gardening in Canada with Ashley (a soil scientist) and Huw Richards Garden are fantastic resources for sustainable, self-sufficient gardening. I'm loving the Gardening content from you and your new haircut!

[@kaitlintessier4190]

Also, Garden Answer is very informative for both veggies and flowers.

[@choochalah]

She may also like looking into electroculture gardening. I'm giving that a try this year

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

​@@choochalah ohhhh, WOW, electroculure gardening?! That sounds REALLY intimidating! Though, the more I read into it, the more I think my own grandparents did something similar waaaay back in the day (80's) because there was always an area of their greenhouse my sister and I were banned from because it was "dangerous." Hmm... Looks like I've got a new topic to research this summer! Thanks for sharing the term for this style of gardening!

[@amz.garrison]

It's such a cute hairstyle.. it totally fits you. I also have the same haircut, and yes, my neck burns, so sunscreen is helpful on the back of the neck, or a damp cool towel when outside in yard or hiking helps too, but it's easy to keep up and perfect for spring and summer hot weather.

[@terrythomas2735]

I think your really becoming a gardener. You never would have thought. How exciting

[@lynwill65]

Your hair looks GREAT Danie!! Love your emotions/feels shining through, it's beautiful to see the sheer joy and love you have for Vincent and this your Greenhouse.

[@madzabinga8382]

Danie, if you want lots of corn, you need to plant it in rows in the ground. You need about 6-10 rows for it to properly pollinate and grow edible ears. That little tub isn't enough room. But, tomatoes would likely thrive in the tub!

[@cro1027]

That style of compost bin is designed with an open bottom for a reason. Drainage and contact with the worms, bugs, microbes that are in your soil are essential. Also being able to lift it up and access the whole pile is so much easier than trying to shovel out of the little trap door. The cleats you bolted to the board are meant for stakes into bare ground.

[@ElectricalASMR]

Love the new hair, especially at the end where you had it without bangs, so cute! Got me in the feels when you were looking through all of your stuff, especially the truck.

[@beachydayz]

Love your hair. Looks great on you. As for the leather bag, I’d put your garden tools in it. That way you could carry it around outside if necessary. Thank you for showing us your greenhouse. Gives me hope that spring is around the corner. 🙏🇨🇦

[@bridgettebollig2649]

Gahhh! I am so happy you are back in the place full of your love for Vince. ❤ Your cut is FAB!!

[@ladyt2587]

Danie your hair looks great!!! ❤ You made my eyes well up when you went in the green house and cried. My heart goes out to you, sending hugs. I love watching your dog wanting to play with you while you are digging the square for the composite. He finally gave up and took his fresbee with him. 😅

[@erikas974]

Me too😪

[@lechatbotte.]

I love the cut it’s cute. I love we’re back in Vincenzo’s garden. This is the first growing season how exciting. Getting more coffee. Settling in for some more epic content.

[@shirleycarter2451]

Loving the new hair style 😍. Definitely reuse the horse feed bag as tool storage as if you put soil in it, then it could rot the bag. Handy hint about your watering system, come time to put your garden to bed then remove the outside connection, then less likely to split in the bad weather.❤

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

... and make sure the tubing is completely drained, even if that means trying to suck any leftover water out with a shop vac. It sounds silly, but worth it in the long run!

[@MsDawn0113]

New idea for the feed bag, use it to carry your harvest from the garden to the house.💡

[@mirandaherselman3315]

I love the leather feed bag! I think it would be cool for tools when you go out to work in the raised beds, or maybe you could use it as a produce bag to carry your freshly grown veg to the house 😉

[@HAppytobeHer]

Spring cleans are the most satisfying! I especially love the outdoorsy ones on a bright sunny spring day

[@caitmcg4382]

Love the raised bed and archway design! One of my favorite things in garden design is when there's a kind of reveal or surprise element. To that end, the flagstone path that goes between the beds and is covered by the archway could have something visually fun at its end up against the fence. Maybe a nice bench with potted flowers around it, or a burbling fountain, or a birdbath or sculpture, or some art fixed to the fence itself. Something that, once someone walks through the archway, is a nice surprise for them to feel like they discovered! Can't wait for the next video Danie!

[@Redroots1881]

Greenhouse content is my favorite!! Can you have your Mom really go into plants, what kinds, best way to plant? What to plant together? Ect.

[@nancibishof6462]

Tools in the feed bag. Plants do better if watered by their roots rather than sprayed from above. Their leaves can be burnt from the sun magnified by the water droplets pooled on their leaves. Mulch holds the moisture in their soil. If you want to grow root veg such as carrots, beets, or potatoes a deeper raised bed gives them more room to grow.

[@DIYDanie]

Great advice and thank you for sharing! xx

[@m.maclellan7147]

She may want to water her plants at night, should she put a timer on there.

[@carstenlechte]

Also, the bag will rot if it is full of damp dirt.

[@Junkyty]

I usually water in late afternoon or evening to combat the water droplet+ sun issue and it's been working well!

[@lafemmerouge4271]

All the feels. Spring gardening. Fetch games. Pretty new hairdo. Perfect start to the weekend. ❤️

[@nohandle508]

You rock that hairdo! Still can't understand how on earh you could make a greenhouse so stylish and beautiful. Like hanging out with you, no matter what your video is about.

[@sophiekatchick1415]

Love your greenhouse xxx and your hair, and felt the love and the sadness and fondness and happy memories in that moment and just wanted to hug you until you were able to carry on xxx ❤️ Then you cracked on with it and bubbly again and I wad like 'Let's do this Queen!!!!!'

[@zoellaswe6635]

Add some fun to watching this video , take a shot every time Danie says “here” ❤😂

[@MsArtistwannabe]

That feeder would make a great tool carrier. I use a basket for all my small tools when I’m out in the garden. Helps me keep track of them because there’s a designated spot to put tools down. It’s easy to lose those smaller tools when you’re working in the garden.

[@treesnl]

The new hair suits you, and maybe use the feed bag as a carry-all for the tools when you work in your expansion garden.

[@meganharper6566]

Had to stop at the intro to tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! 😍❤️‍🔥 It suits you so well!!

[@judyshallstrom415]

Best haircut ever! It looks great and takes off years! And, you look happier. On to the greenhouse!

[@FlorenceChandotCA]

I'm so glad to see the greenhouse wintered so well! Just a note on corn: It's wind pollinated and it's likely to get MUCH taller than what your tub and greenhouse can provide. If you want actual corn, I'd suggest planting outside and in a grid configuration so the plants cross pollinate each other rather than relying on insect pollination.

[@chantellescrutton8266]

First, I love your new hair style! Second, it's very special seeing the memories of Vince - I feel like we've all mourned him with you ❤

[@rebeccabergman7718]

Danie, I love your hair color and haircut. Adorable! Very flattering on you. Your rocking girl.

[@ThatOneMKGirl]

I love the repurpose filing cabinets by taking out all the drawers and laying them on their back for a super easy raised garden bed

[@ClayStevens]

babe wake up diy danie posted a video

[@kimberlyrudolphcap1789]

Love the hair! Can’t wait to see the raised beds. I cried with you when you went in.

[@lornawood3260]

Love this!! Couple things: I am amazed that you knew how to set up the irrigation system! So awesome. Then, my heart hurts for your “old door” shelving!! Have you considered sealing with a water-based poly, matte finish? It’s a beautiful idea to use the door, but I would be concerned with water damage, as it seems there will be a lot of drippage and overspray with the watering system. I still want to be DIY Danie when I grow up (I’m 68!!). Best wishes and keep creating!

[@PestoPasta666]

Came here to say this!

[@mellissarondinelli9682]

Loving the new hair!! Super cute!!

[@DIYDanie]

it's a nice change :)

[@lovingmayberry307]

Tools! Love the hair! Vincenzo is so happy rn!

[@afroborilafemme]

Definitely tools for the feeder bag since you’re making raised garden beds. That way you can carry the tools easily. ❤

[@starbrown1219]

Your blonde short hair is so cute. It really suits you. It’s so sassy. Would love a green house.

[@janinegriffiths8281]

The Sunflowers are annuals. The stuff you are going to prune is perennial. Good luck with your new spring garden and getting your greenhouse ready for new plants!

[@iceangel1701d]

I like the idea of flowers for the horse feed bag! You are so sweet and smart. You go girl!!

[@19katoon96]

You are a blessing! Your energy and humor brighten our day. Love the hair. Stay strong❤️

[@phyllisshand6183]

My vote - tools. Great hothouse and love your new hairdo.

[@TamarLitvot]

Love the hair and the greenhouse is as magical as ever! The raised beds expansion is an excellent idea, especially with the arch to continue the magic. I’m wondering why you don’t grow your corn in your yard since it needs a lot of room for a fairly low yield. Wouldn’t the bathtub be a good place for potatoes and sweet potatoes instead of the corn?

[@avanellc]

Corn is also wind pollinated - probably that is what went wrong with last year's ears,

[@TamarLitvot]

@@avanellc that’s so interesting!

[@sheylaboucher3829]

I vote for the flowers coming out off the horse feeding bag! Tool would be always messy, I think. You will have a beautiful garden.

[@magietagie]

Love the new hair do! And my vote is for tools for the bag!

[@lisabailey6605]

Grow loofahs on that arch between garden beds. You’ll love them.

[@sandrar2572]

oh sweetheart, That bitter sweet emotion upon entry is why I love your videos xo

[@Carole.P]

Loving the new hair style, suits you. Vincenzo’s is open for business again, corn crunching times ahead, fingers crossed🌈

[@justinabean94]

OMG YOURE HAIR 😍😍 I’m not even a minute in. I love it ! It looks so fresh and full of bounce 💖

[@tammysaputo5682]

Love the hair and LOVE the greenhouse. So JEALOUS, I want one 🥰

[@Dottyluvsllamas]

Love your hair! Thanks for sharing the happy tears and the process.

[@darcymoore669]

tip for your yard waste compost: You can add coffee grounds without having a risk for raccoons getting into it, and it'll help encourage the bugs needed to break it down. Also make sure you have a leaf litter layer in there every once in a while :)

[@dgray8267]

Oooh! Use the old feed bag as a garden gathering bag! Looove the hair cut 💜

[@kiriaioulia]

You could use the horse feed bag for a "harvest bag" and it would help to carry your produce to the house!!! FUN!

[@jan6626]

Love the hair cut, I would use the horse feed bag for tools. It's nice and strong looking and will hold the weight!

[@pengle]

Functional beauty - tools in the feed bag and it will be great to see "MOM" again too

[@lovawood1629]

Your hair is so cute!!!! It fits your personality perfectly. Love it!

[@grisespino5342]

Your greenhouse the Treasure Chest~ Cool watering syste. Raised bed wood cedar or redwood so it's food safe. Lay large cardboard pieces on the grass in raised bed, wet down then add soil. No dig and it works. If you deal with gophers lay down wire mesh on top off grass then cardboard and so on. Love the new do!

[@alkiq00]

Love your hair, the greenhouse, and the Lie in the Sun song. I kept playing that part over and over 😂

[@marissabyrum5900]

Hi Danie! Love your greenhouse! Have been watching for awhile, really love your content. I am a gardener in Florida, Agricultural Zone 9b, (which means really effing hot and humid with hurricanes 🤣), since I was 8 years old. I wanted to give you this tip: Your taller structures and plants in your raised bed areas should be in the North part of your garden. I can't see from your videos which direction is North, but when you are placing trellises, or hoops (arches for vining plants), or even taller plants, they should be more North than your shorter plants, unless you are trying to make more shade for parts of your garden. Thought you'd want to keep that in mind as you put your garden plans into action. Good luck! Feel free to reach out if I can help. ❤

[@tasha4984]

Tools already have their good place

[@bigacornlavafla1310]

I’m gonna be really honest with you…. This is my favourite hairstyle/colour on you!! The tone is so nice on your skin, I really love it

[@SG-wu8eh]

Love the hair! Just FYI, temporary hair colors are actually conditioning to your hair. Xmondo for example even has bond builders. Sorry if I’m saying something obvious or out of turn. You know what you’re doing with your own hair, just know the purple was important to you. ❤️💕

[@terrioakley2250]

Hi Dani your new do is so cute 😊. Nothing better than getting into the dirt and playing with plants ! Enjoy … there’s such a healing power in gardening 😊🌞🌻🌾

[@kynahill825]

My 1st thought was a harvesting bag! You can pick your hearts delight❤

[@tonyagaul3368]

I think you should use the bag for harvesting your fruit and vegetables. Love the greenhouse!

[@alicejump2290]

Making my day! I have a small raised bed! Cucumbers, tomatoes, and string beans! The beans fed my groundhog! HaHa! But so nice to pick fresh salad fixings! Love your green house!

[@zuzasobieska4139]

I love the haircut, I know what you're going through. For the past year I'm going through the same thing. It can be hard, but we are strong and the hair will grow as we are healing ♥ I send all the love Danie ♥ GREENHOUSE TIME !!!

[@judith3653]

The hair the hair! Chef's kiss

[@coralwebb4245]

Absolutely love the hair, very cute. 😃🐨

[@mickalaloeffelbein4935]

Raised beds: take out grass, put chicken wire and landscape fabric down before your boxes (including your pathways). Will keep out moles, weeds, grass, etc and keeps it way easier to maintain. Use cedar wood so they don’t rot 😅 and put gravel on the pathways not mulch or chips because weeeeeeeeds. If you want to be fancy you can add grid drip watering. Also be careful your arched trellis doesn’t shade out the other garden box. Good luck and happy building!

[@jeannearnold4292]

Tools! Water won't be a friend to your leather in the long run! Love your content.♥️

[@joyeyoder4783]

Different idea for the bag: produce bag when gathering your veggies. You need to put them in something to carry them into the house.

[@MiriamTV2]

Ah, I remember watering the greenhouse plants every morning when the rest of my family was away on vacation. Fresh cucumbers and tomatoes can't be beat!

[@kristenjensen7264]

Your hair is SOOOOO cute! Very flattering on you. Now I'm cutting mine!

[@Danajanene]

Danie I love your hair. Someone did a great job...it looks so thick and healthy. I saw your video when you talked about your hair...I'm happy for you. You should look into a color depositing shampoo and conditioner. That's what I use, my hair was red & purple one day and all purple the next.

[@colleensnyder8943]

☕️Good morning all. Love this time of year - new beginnings🥤

[@MerryBee707]

Love the hair! The GH is such a wonderful space, I hope we get to see the stages of growing. I think the leather sack would make an awesome harvest bag, to carry your corn, peppers, tomatoes, etc. as you pick them, into the house.

[@quianaj27]

Your hair looks very nice and you wear the cut well. On the garden love the ideas with the raise garden with the arch and you can also have bistro seating by the garden with some coffee and tea.

[@laurasrn5067]

Love your hair!!! I think tools in the bag and I'm excited to watch your greenhouse expand and grow💖
