WHO WE ARE?
We are Char and Marv
@plantedinthegarden!
Our primary goal is to get as many people to grow their own food.
No matter the experience or space available.
We are urban
gardeners from Toronto that fell in
love with growing food because
not only is it amazing to eat fresh
homegrown food, but you also know
what you put into it and the joy you get when you share it with family, friends and the community.
Gardening never
stops for us; we are always looking
for solutions to continue to grow our
food - no matter what season. From
outdoor gardening, garage grow tent
to hydroponics, year-round gardening
is truly possible. We believe
in simple living, loving what you do,
and doing it with love!
Every year we start our garden, we learn something new and know that it's okay if it doesn't work out. There's always new growth to look forward to, so keep on learning.

I love it. Can you make a video on how you started and the layout of the garage garden. It’s brilliant

[@plantedinthegarden]

Thanks, I'll put together a short video on the tent set up

[@lillian2396]

@@plantedinthegarden thanks for responding, Looking forward to it.

I love how there is a growing movement for people to grow their own food. I am starting my indoor garden this coming week.

[@makeoversbymeme2077]

How’s your garden this far ?😊

[@elwandaa1882]

That is an amazing indoor gardening set-up. Thanks for sharing!

[@plantedinthegarden]

Thank you! We feel fortunate to be able to grow like this during the winter. 🙏

[@Marmiesemptynest]

Very impressive. We live on a farm in Canada and have a huge vegetable garden, we are always very sad when we can no longer harvest from my garden when the snow comes.

[@plantedinthegarden]

Same here, we’re in Canada too, winters can be long and cold. The indoor garden is a great option to keep growing

[@youferd]

Aloha Pare!!! Thank you very much for your content and the way you and your family live your lives. As a Pinoy living in the US, it is important that we educate each other about healthy habits and awareness. Many thanks again for sharing your life with us, you are making a positive impact in others lives. Namaste.

[@plantedinthegarden]

Maraming Salamat! Education is key, we love sharing what we learn from the garden both indoors and out. Gardening is great for mind and body. We hope that many more people can experience the joy and reward of growing their own food

[@s.f.morris7331]

what a wonderful spread. for pollination try using an electric toothbrush. the vibration of the bristles are closer to a buzzing bumble bee than your finger tip.

[@leagueleaders]

This video motivated me to set my tents back up. I miss my bubble buckets. Rodents destroyed my outdoor garden this year.

[@LifeWithOra]

I love your garden. I’m watching it from the first episode. I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks for sharing. I’m plus one now.

[@drek226]

It's so therapeutic and rewarding growing your own food. It's not just better for the body to eat food that doesn't have all of the cancer causing herbicides and pesticides but also better for overall well being.

[@Mary-mk9vk]

Much respect to you! That looks very labor intensive! Beautiful plants 🥬🍅🫑

Thank you, we don't mind the work. We love gardening so much💚

so happy and amazed to watch you doing that. such a talent. i envy those who can plant coz i also wanna have my own but i can't coz of very limited time i have. god bless you and many more planting and harvest to come.

[@plantedinthegarden]

Salamat! Gardening is such a joy in any form. We started with a few pots and even if it’s a single herb it’s a good start. I hope you will have some time for yourself to start your own garden.

Do you have a video detailing how you make your vermin composter and how and when to gather the castings?

[@TheProCut17]

sweet set up you have there, thanks for sharing

[@plantedinthegarden]

Thank you so much!

[@MichelleKalgren]

How much did your electric bill increase after starting this setup? Thanks for the video!

[@plantedinthegarden]

each light outputs between 150-200W because I have a dimmable light. I run it at nights to save cost and it's about 12hours a day. The cost is between $6-10 per light. But I can grow up to 50 plants from a single light.

[@jomusician]

Hi. What temperature do you maintain inside your grow tent to optimize tomatoes & other fruiting plants? I’m debating buying an indoor setup: hydroponic tower vs a grow tent.

[@plantedinthegarden]

We do run a small heater, but only intermittently to keep temperature in range of 10°C/50°F to 18°C/64.4°F

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

New sub😊. I have a 3X3 tent I’m growing in😊

[@Bandaid17]

Hi. Great set up. I also have two smaller grow tents in my basement but only use for starting seeds. Maybe give this a try. You make the hydroponic system look doable. I have always been so intimidated by it. Are you using a nutrient solution or just the bubbler? Do you run the bubbler 24/7?

[@alexandrashier5216]

Yout video would be much more of a pleasure to watch with some audio 😄 thanks. Very cool, I plan to do food in the same grow tent this year. From Manitoba 😄

[@greenjanbakker1808]

Could you explain what you need to build the tent and what you need further more. Lambs waterpumps etc. I love your crispy vegetables. Where do you live by the way?

[@plantedinthegarden]

Hi from Canada. I'm using the tent because my set up is in the garage. I've done this indoors too without the tent and just air pump, air stone, a small fan and grow lights. For the tent setup, I recommend getting an intake fan to remove stale air inside the tent and have open vents on the bottom of the tent for fresh air to come in. If you're a winter zone, you'll to run a small heater intermittently to keep the temperate just above 10°C/50°F. Shelves are an option depending on how big you want to set up. Feel free to checkout the amazon store on this link for material references linktr.ee/plantedinthegarden

[@greenjanbakker1808]

@@plantedinthegarden thank you

[@movingforward2570]

Thanks for the video. Do you keep the grow lights on at all times and leave the plants in the dark sometimes???

[@embracingnature4125]

What do you do to maintain high enough temperature? I want something like this to bring in my annuals and ornamental plants and start next years seeds. Do you do anything for heat or not? What climate zone are you in?

[@Dan-rv5by]

Beautiful video!! What cameras are you using ? It looks very nice !!

[@angellas.1314]

Love your content. But. I was expecting to see how to set up the tent. And how to set up the hydroponics system. I’d say you have content here for 3 more detailed videos!

[@plantedinthegarden]

Thank you, here's a quick DIY of our Deep Water Hydroponic Bin. Hope this helps kzbin.infoyBGze5YD2e8?feature=share

[@goodcitizen4587]

I'd like to see your methods of root veggies. Taters, carrots would be awesome.

[@plantedinthegarden]

I tried radish and beets in hydroponics and they grow but roots do not form well. I will have to adjust and test a nutrient mix that is great for root veggies.

[@mamanoodkeman]

I checked out the grow tents via your links. Did you combine 2 so they are big enough to walk around in?

[@Sickass_foo]

Any opinion on soil vs this method and how many watts are each of those lights set to

[@justinthomas27]

I’m curious how much your costs are? Amazing work!

[@chi4life61]

Can u do the tent in the garage in the freezing weather

[@Kat-fv5wl]

I’m wondering where you’re located? I have a large garage that would be great for this, but it’s not well insulated and in Minnesota it can get to be 50 below and food does freeze in the garage in the winter 😂

Glad you found the name. Leca clay pebbles are reusable substrate great for absorbing water and nutrients to helps feed the roots

What an amazing gardening set up. I am not sure how to start an indoor garden. I have got a grow tent as a gift but how do you set it up for the first time? Do you use a thermostat and ceiling fan or artificial sunlight ? Do indoor gardens promote faster harvest compared to the traditional method?

This could have been an awesome video. If you talked. Nobody likes how they sound on a recording. But you can't get the same information across to the viewer with subtitles. I sure hope you redo this video and actually speak.
