HOW TO Container Garden & Compost in Place in LOTS of Pots - GROW More in a Single Raised Bed CHEAP

[@MrSharonrochelle]

You are the real Pipi Longstockings! I never tire of watching you. You are like a helium ballon, or sailing soap bubble that catches the light. You are unforgettable! My gardens are grateful I found you.

[@wakeywakey8603]

I like how u just kinda find your own way of gardening rather than do it the same way as everyone else. You're a breath if fresh air. I listen to some other channels. Some over explain & some are stingy with their growing success secrets. I could listen to you all day ❤

[@billieblake115]

Robbie I enjoy you so much.Im 81yr young and just now interested in stuff like do.I always canned and put up what my husband grew.I knew nothing about the other side.Now I cant get enough!!.thank you for showing me somthing I can do to grow food.God bless.

[@Herhighness211]

Robbie, I’m in zone 7 and the worms come into the compost in snow. They like the warmth. They’ll leave if it gets cold in there but they definitely come in the snow. It’s amazing.

[@dfwquiltr37]

I have just started doing this at a house that my husband and I are flipping to sell. Sense this house needs a lot of up date we have decide to move in while fixing it up. I am soo enjoying being here. The lady who owned it before left lots of pots, and gardening supplies. She had a wine barrel with no bottom on it so started taking the soil that was already in it and started adding shredded paper, all the old leaves around the property and using my pruning shears and cutting up the leaves, adding leaves ect from plants I am having to replant, food scraps and will be adding the old food from the apartment that is also on property. I have not seen any worms yet but they will come eventually. I have a few black pots I am going to start working on as well.

[@juliaroberts9215]

Hello Robbie. I live on the beautiful island of Antigua in the Eastern Caribbean. I have been following you for about a year now and am using your methods with wonderful results. Especially during the drought season.

[@sandyb1184]

You are so passionate and your energy is infectious! Thanks for being such an amazing source of inspiration. Another great video!

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Thanks so much....I will have to be honest here...towards the end of this video, I was NOT a "happy camper" as 1000's of bees were swarming around me...I might just have to get that bee situation up here too, thanks so much, Robbie

[@lunapaul8412]

When I fell on her video and started to listen to her,I could feel my blood circulating...she's so passionate about what she is doing and she has such a connection with mother nature...it's almost palpable.Thank you lady.Gos is a great God...He created all thus for us🙂🙂❤❤🙏

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Thanks so very much 😊 happy gardening ❤️

[@MaggiePhigeland]

Hi Robbie I m doing it just the way you are doing. That works for me too. I put all kitchen scrap in my soil and my soil is full of earthworms. You right...treat them like plants and they will be happy to do their thing. Thanks for all the tips with wonderful outcomes also here in Port Elizabeth South Africa.

[@jjsgrammie]

Love your videos and started trying some of the beds in plastic tubs last year and now I’ve fix the tower from another video and I love how it works and used dirt from the pits last year and found lots of worms in those

[@AngelinAfrica]

You have inspired me & Dog to start our container garden and start a video blog on KZbin. ❤❤❤😊 thanks Robbie. You are the BEST 😍😍🥰🥰👏👏🤩🤩

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Oh How Cool, thanks!

[@melissavillarreal7414]

Thanks Robbie! I always love your videos and the way you pass along your knowledge. I also love the way you build our confidence up! By “our confidence” I am referring to any novice gardener such as myself, who can feel overwhelmed by all the techniques we can use! You are so cool!!

Hi Robbie. I like watching you work in your garden. Hope to see more of it. Please be safe, you and Gary. Wishing you stay healthy too

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

YOU ROCK! You just saved me LOTS of money for two garden beds I will be putting in tomorrow. I have LOTS of collected dried leaves that I'm gonna fill the beds with as well as some kitchen scraps I've been collecting. I will be looking for those pots today and will do what you are doing here. Thanks for sharing.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

You can get them at many dollar stores, OR you could go to a local nursery and see if they have any they need to toss out, Thanks, Robbie

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

[@vickieowens8946]

Robbie you just answered my fence issue, planting in an area that has clay soil. I have a huge bin that is in the way. Now I have a use for it. Thanks!

I must say, things grow, many-times, better in bins, thanks, Robbie

[@judya.shroads8245]

I put seed out on the ground for the birds..Then the bunny, squirrels and a raccoon too. I like the was way you compost, but I'd have to protect it from the critters, till it breaks down a little. I am going to do your method of gardening this year. I live in the north eastern part of the country. We get lots of snow and very cold to grow in the winter. This spring, I'll do the garen your way. Love your videos!!!!

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

I hope it worked for you, and if you want to protect it, you just do what works best for you, thank you, Robbie

[@tamarahesi]

I know how You feel. When I 1st discover this sand thing ❤️😍🙌🏾 Keep Growing!

[@1stBumbleBeeMaster]

Awesome Video, just one idea. If you plant Blue Berries round the Pine Trees they should do really well. It will help with pine root control as if you mulch around the Blue Berries it will be always damp and the pine roots will not send out so many water searching roots. The Blue Berries will just love the soil where pine needles fall.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

So COOL! Thank you, I was planning on first putting some in large containers around the pine trees as there is so much asphalt there, thank you again! Robbie

[@FknNefFy]

You’ve got so many brilliant ideas I think of these things and wonder if they would work and then I look it up on KZbin and there you are doing it and teaching us how! Thank you

[@tammytime360]

Before robbie I've been out doing all this around the yard the last few weeks thank you so much easier then my other gardening.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

The way I do it works for me, and it is so much easier, and the plants just keep on growing, thanks, Robbie

[@loveladybug7843]

🐞🐞 HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND 🐞🐞

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Thank you, Robbie

[@bonniebuchanan985]

Too funny, guess I was doing more composting in place than I realized, as I have a raised bed where I’m growing Eggplant, Okra (mistake, they’re too big & need their own container, room to spread out w/out blocking sun from other plants), Bell Peppers, Green Onions..and every 2wks approx.I go back in to the bed and toss in/add a bunch of scraps (veggies cut up+shrimp shells, paper towels cut up, etc.), between the plants, then I add worm castings and soil on top of it all to cover it up (cover to deter any flies, Scavengers, Etc - U shouldn’t smell anything or you’re composting the wrong stuff or didn’t cover your scraps up w/enough soil)+then I water it all w/some Azomite in the water, and all the plants just grow like crazy over the next few weeks until I do it again! Composting in place isn’t hard, so long as you’re mindful that when the scraps decompose it causes heat & to keep the heat away from being too close to either Your plants or their roots. Composting in place is a down+dirty way to add nutrients to your soil...You DO however, change the PH Levels of Your soil so If You’re crazy about where Your Ph Levels need be, then composting in place will likely drive You bonkers trying to readjust your Ph Levels as Your soil moves thru the decomposition process..Another Great Video, Thanks, I enjoyed (as I always do) watching & learning from your experiences! Good Luck w/Your Green Growing Things & Stay Safe & Healthy Out There!..*smiles*

[@denislacasse5514]

Great video Robbie, I noticed you often water with fresh city water which contains chemicals harmful to good bacteria and worms. Have you ever thought of having a few water reservoirs to age water. In 24 hrs, all of the chlorine will evaporate.

[@SuhailiMalik]

U really inspire me to make more compost. I have the idea that compost need a big container, need to turn every once in a while. And I almost give up coz there is lot of maggots. But I think this open kinda composting looks much better

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

It is easy, almost any size container works, and the plants grow with no turning the compost, it breaks down on its own, like nature, thank you, Robbie

[@phitruongdinh3772]

I tried growing loofah this past year they did ok with the time I gave them but I dont yet know when and how to clean them an let them kinda go bad on the vine so I took the old loofah very dirty an not good seeds in them any how I broke them up and have used them in the bottom of my flower pots to fill the pot with out using all soil. It is working great and has not dropped yet , Thank you for sharing these vid's I love them and have tried many of your methods. Thank you Robbie.

Robbie you are a gift from God. Can you compost weeds ? Every now again I get a crab grass patch. Man they really do take hold and take over if you don't remove them. ( in the yard ) Also can you composite meat or bones? Lastly do wood chips attract termites? I have a wood porch and need to know what materials maybe good in compost place but not in others Still learning. Thanks

Hi Robbie. Your videos are so inspiring. I tried your "in place" composting method. The slugs however have moved in with the earthworms and found the perfect hiding place. How do I get rid of them please.

The coffee filters may not break down quickly, BUT, worms will use them for their homes, so you can toss some in if you want, and for the lemon rinds, I do, but if you were making tons of lemons daily, then I would limit the numbers I'd put in at a time. Hope this helps, thanks so much, Robbie

IN MY CONTAINERS: I thought I was supposed to layer sticks, leaves, paper, veggies/fruit, a little dirt/compost and do again ending with a few inches of dirt or potting/mix on top and then plant my starts - the same day. NO???? It's May 2022 now and I'm reading up on everything I can to know how to garden and produce vegetables this year. I need confirmation or a link to help me understand if I'm doing it wrong because it looks like you prepare your pots but don't plant until later. UGH!
