Edibles in Containers // Garden Answer

[@gailblain5282]

BIG fan of galvanized tubs. I usually put my salad greens and herbs in them near the kitchen door - a shorter walk than the big garden. Great tips!

[@onlyethical]

Laura I adore you and your channel soooooo much!! I have a teeeeeeny little balcony that I've crammed with little pots, long pots, high pots and never did I think to just get a massive tub and shove them all in there! It's so much easier for moving as well as we are in a rental. Your passion is infectious - I'm off to my local hardware store..... NOW

[@kimecker]

Can you do more videos on this type of plantings? Especially compatible type plantings. Love this thank you so much. I have NEVER understood gardening until I started watching your videos. I look forward to them everyday. I am truly inspired by everything you do. You keep everything short and to the point and yet very informative in what you are teaching. Keep going! God made you for this.

[@MrFkoller]

OMG those tiny potting soil bags 😆 2023 Laura wouldn't even consider buying such small bags probably 🤭

[@MarenWalz]

Thanks for mentioning cost. That's helpful

[@Elizabeth-nx6us]

I learn so much from you! Thank you for your awesome, professional, and practical videos. :)

[@csarcsarcsar855]

gran mujer eres de las personas especiales para las cosas e aprendido mucho viendo sus vídeos gracias por subir los saludos desde Cordoba Veracruz México

[@emeraldfavor]

:) This is the best container video I've seen yet. Thank You for posting your videos, they are so right to the point with great information.

[@pamularcarter2586]

Thanks for sharing. BEAUTIFUL. I love container gardens.

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

Laura, a suggestion... Maybe take something to slightly bend the edge of those containers so that the water doesn't sit under them? It's a pain when the water remains beneath them and rots them. Can we get updates on how these do? 🌾 Green Blessings 🌿

[@gardenanswer]

We'll definitely post updates!!! These ended up on gravel, so the water will be able to soak into the ground (thankfully!). :)

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

Oh good! So glad they're on gravel, I know from past issues on pavement those don't drain so well. =D I look forward to seeing them Laura! Thank you. 🌾 Green Blessings 🌿

[@elizabethb7438]

MY ONLY CONCERN would be moving those tubs. Could you perhaps put some wheels under them to make handling them easier and also when the weather changes perhaps you could relocate them.

[@DayByDayVlogs]

Elizabeth B great idea!

[@1998warriors]

I'm not sure if these are available at every location, but I know Home Depot has some kind of platform with wheels that's meant for moving larger/heavier pots. They aren't very big, but I'm sure two or three could move a container that large.

[@camicri4263]

Great idea, I am sure you can, make sure that and lock them in place.

[@erinjames377]

Yeah Marigolds! Love your work, just beautiful!

[@gardenanswer]

Thank you so much! :)

[@malloryparis245]

Hi Laura! I want to show you what you have inspired me to create one day soon but I also wanted to ask if you will make a video one day of edible plants that grow in the shade if there are any other than herbs I would love to know!

[@razankhayat9915]

We love the edible arrangements more thanks lura :)

[@PatriciaJessup]

Awesome Laura thanks for your continued inspiration.

[@rachael6823]

lol the drill bit

[@genevievegreene1595]

Way prettier than my blue plastic barrels... I will now be on the hunt for those hell'a fire peppers. Nice video.

[@cathybrown7559]

Determinant tomatoes are best for canning. They grow so you can harvest all at one time.

[@zepthqalevxanders2481]

we hope that we do get update videos during harvest time...super-thrilled to see that soon!

[@gardenanswer]

Definitely posting updates! Stay tuned... :)

[@0617sad]

Really like the containers you picked. They look really nice!

[@xfaisx]

dear ,, you make grading so easy. Thanks and keep going

[@n_issa]

I love this idea ♡♡♡

[@gallardo1288]

Yay!!! I can't wait to try this

[@julielaurenzano9596]

I had no idea about the tomatoes! thank you!!

[@Bubileaf]

me neither :o

[@gardenanswer]

You betcha! :)

[@CaliKim29]

Looks great, Laura! Love the beauty and functionality of your project! You'll have some fresh tomatoes before you know it!

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

woman! you inspire me!! 😊 I have several tomato plants and some leaves are starting to curl and I noticed some blooms just falling...I'm sad, but why are they doing this? I've fertilized and tend to them almost daily! it's been hard since back surgery. I've tried my best but I need help. thank you!

[@aribh4929]

Curling is normal somtimes, I'm no expert but from what I read it doesn't usually affect the fruit. And I think the blooms falling might just mean that the flowers are getting ready to ripen into fruit! Good luck with your recovery:)

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

Arib, thanks for the info and for the well wishes!! 😆

[@aribh4929]

+Jules Aviles No problem! :)

[@marystackpole118]

TY!!! LOVE THIS!! You made my day!!!!

[@shakinariley6272]

So so wonderful

[@michelel1852]

I love the convenience of the Epsoma organic liquid premeasured fertilizer but it is extremely expensive when you have to use 3 doses per gallon of water. I bought some but I just can't afford that. For a small bottle it cost over $13!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Are the galvanized tubs safe for food? I know you're planting in them, but I have a galvanized tub outside and it is rusty in certain spots. This always throws me off.

[@mondraymondo]

Oh im reminded of that concern... but the fact is theres a lot of people who keep veggies in those kind of containers.. so we just have to trust i guess? Lol

[@sweetpeacraft5243]

What a great ideas! Thank for sharing such a great tips.

[@gardenanswer]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@camicri4263]

Pretty!

[@spiritmama]

Questions: 1- Without some sort of insert, won’t there be too much zinc or some thing leeching into the plants? 2- I’ve never tried planting in galvanized pots with edibles, especially outdoors, because I was afraid they would rust. Do they not do that?

[@ucantseeme33]

whatever happened to the strawberries you grew in the white hamper? Did this work?

[@kungfudivers]

Would love to see how your plants came out.

[@diaereaper784]

can you do a video on peace lilly care and one on how and when to fertilize?

[@mondraymondo]

Only one thing concerns me: steel containers don't heat up the soil inside it do they?

[@planthuntercollections3972]

thanks for the great idea, madam

[@gardenanswer]

Thank you for watching the video! :)

[@planthuntercollections3972]

you're welcome madam

[@claudiaturruviartes4725]

Thank you for making this video!! I have been wanting videos on this especially since I live in an apartment it's harder because I don't have a yard.

[@gardenanswer]

I'm glad this video was helpful! Thank you for watching! :)

[@arvindnagar6657]

youuu would be an excellent mom!

[@ambcorhenriecom]

is there a fertilizer you prefer(organic if possible)

[@jdroxford]

next to the fact that its going to be heavy to move those galvanized containers, how do you overwinter strawberries in containers? I'm in zone 6 I think in Missouri.

[@markkristynichols845]

took me 2 days to find this one again---LOL wanted to find the one where you plant raspberries in container and couldn't remember which one it was---so excited as I have been digging many strawberries and have a square galvanized tub ready for planting! Would you add marigold also or just leave the raspberry and strawberries? Thanks--Kristy

[@lilyyau5951]

Morning

[@funnystuff5385]

Any advice for spring planting vegetables and what flowers besides marigolds to keep bugs away. Thanks for sharing your videos. Debbie

[@amywilliamson9778]

Can you grow veggies in the big self watering pots and put fertilizer in the water reservoir? Please and thank you!

[@masmerah8549]

💕💕💕very good ideas💕💕💕

[@gardenanswer]

Thank you! :)

[@kyraserbedya3292]

How does the heat affect the metal I’m a little worried doing it here in Australia cause of how hot the summers are

[@gardengnomejay4122]

I like the fruit one the best

[@gardenanswer]

The strawberries are delicious (no raspberries yet)! :)

[@gardengnomejay4122]

You got strawberries on yours? Mine always get eaten by the birds before they are big enough(disadvantage of city life it has dense bird populations)

[@ResetKeisha]

I need more ideas like this but with more vegetables and fruits. Can you do trees like this? How heavy were the tubs?

[@gardenanswer]

The tubs weren't too bad, but you definitely want to put them in the spot you want them to stay before you fill them with soil. You could try trees in there, but you would only get a season or two out of them because their roots need more space to grow. We'll have lots more fruit/vegetable gardening ideas next season! :)

[@ResetKeisha]

Garden Answer thank you. I'm still learning and my husband hates the idea of a garden.

[@hhoversonhh]

Keisha I think mine is finally coming around to the idea..start small. Show him that you can be successful at gardening. I've been growing tomatoes,peppers melons, peas, radishes and onions. All in containers. I heard him talking to the neighbor about building me some raised beds. So maybe next year... Oh ya! I added carrots and bush beans to the list this year. lol

[@TheSingingGamer]

Dear Garden Answer, I really admire your works and your garden. I always wanted to grow edibles by seed or buy edible plants and re-pot them in a big bowl shaped pot. I live near the beach and there is a condo that was built near my house that covered some sunlight for my other garden in my backyard. Will I be still able to plant and grow edible plants at my place. The earth keeps rotating and I have more sunlight in my frontyard and backyard but I am afraid if the earth rotates back to giving my garden so much shade and no sunlight for a few months. What can you advise me or tell me about my situation? Love, The Singing Gamer 'Rose'

[@NikkiBrown4theLord]

Do you spray the fertilizer on the plant or near the soil? Thank for great videos!

[@gracev2335]

Would the plant roots get too hot in these pots?

[@marybethleib8286]

Beautiful and clever! You must have no deer that like to “ visit”!

[@michellevue3085]

Will the Galvanized Tubs rust if I leave it outside year round?

[@kathylewis7543]

I have a 1/4 inch drill bit does it need to be larger for veggies in a big tub? Thank you!!

[@delfinaki82]

What are the "bugs away" plants? I could't understant the name. Is it some type of Tagetes? Thank you and hello frome Greece!

[@snow4ever198]

marigolds

[@blueplasma5589]

Marigolds (flowers) I can't believe two years went by without anybody answering your question! sorry from usa

[@nainarao3595]

Thank you dear for all the useful tips 😀Your planting is very ingenious Colourful

[@hummerklein2567]

What kind of mulch? I’m going to get my dirt

[@mykenwood830]

How do you move them after they are planted ? They have to be pretty heavy.

[@gardenanswer]

The big tubs have handles, so before I watered them in Aaron and I were able to move them into place. They contain about one 2 cubic bag of soil each, so they weren't too heavy. :)

[@mykenwood830]

Okay thanks for the quick response ! I'm a subscriber and love the little fairy gardens you do also ! Have a great weekend !

[@P_Belle]

Do these tubs rust?

[@venicemitchell3159]

what size are the tubs, 5 gallon, ten or twenty on the big ones ?

[@GemmaleeDee]

17 gallon on the big ones she used :)

[@valencia81750]

is that marigold poisonous?

[@juanpartida5368]
