Rachel O'Leary would you be able to pollinate those pitcher plant flowers and do like a series from flower to seed to germination, would be really cool to see

[@tonydeangelis995]

What do you do for evaporation in the greenhouse?

[@RachelOLeary]

I top them off with the hose or captured rainwater

[@alex-1822]

I don’t have fish or anything but I just love these tubbing videos so much I have ptsd so whenever I’m anxious I binge watch your videos cos their so calming for me

[@RachelOLeary]

I am glad they help

Getting started this weekend here in Tennessee. Thanks Rachel!

[@ahmadechols7784]

Why did u leave so many comments?🤔

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

@@ahmadechols7784 it seems YT has a glitch. It did this to me and at least three others that left me comments. Your question carried to all the copies YT made too. Hope that helps, but it's a mystery to me as well.

[@joesenn8910]

I am new to your channel and love it, the greenhouse is awesome. I cant wait to watch more.

[@RachelOLeary]

Welcome!

[@chuxtuff]

Watch the PH of the dirt/soil/media in those concrete tubs! Especially if the dirt has been in there for more then one season. The concrete will make the PH rise in the soil in those tubs eventually. And are they drain hole(s) equipped?? Anyway, I learned about the perils of concrete tubs many years ago. And I enjoy your vids!!!

[@RachelOLeary]

Its lined with pond liner for the bog and the succulent garden has a false bottom

[@ShadowLynx516]

YEY my fav series is starting!!!

[@madfishdiva]

Really excited to see things going into the greenhouse and i would give anything to find those sinks in the garden. They look so awesome.

[@RachelOLeary]

Keep an eye out at industrial auctions. They are commonfoot pedal sinks in schools and industrial factories- they usually GIVE them away (mine were free, but we had to move them and they way nearly a ton each)

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

Awesome awesome , thanks 😁

[@FullMoonAquatics]

😆 Good morning, Captain Cranky! We see you are happy to see Mom, and starving for attention and foods. Tubs are looking awesome, Rachel. I’m excited to see the populations exploding in that most natural environment soon.

[@chrisshaw9328]

Gotta love cherry shrimp!!

[@felixantunez6081]

Yes love the plant stuff too !!

[@johnsanchez4904]

thanks for the tip on the mosquito bits

[@jscapes782]

I'm tired looking at the amount of work you do 😀

[@RachelOLeary]

once all the bins and greenhouse are established, I think it will get a little less intense.

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

Hi, was just going out to start cleaning my balcony floor, that can wait as I will watch you with my coffee Morning Rachael, have a wonderful day

[@RachelOLeary]

you too!

[@gardenextra7415]

Good morning! Exciting🤗

[@ReneesZooTube]

Looking excellent! I got my tub set up last week. We're having unseasonably cool spring weather for southern CA. My daytime high tub water temp is 76, but the overnight low tub temp is in the 50's. So still way too cold for Neocaridina and Guppies. I'm getting so excited though! I want it to warm up, which is a huge change for me. I much prefer cooler temps. Of course the year I decide to start tubbing earlier is the year of unseasonably, nearly record cool temps. 😆

[@michellesalas2841]

Hey girl i have red shimp in a 3 gallon and there is babies too i need to move them to a bigger tank..ty for all u do u are so great....

[@shubunkin.goldfishtank]

Awesome video! I use to add something to control the mosquitoes but lately the fish have been taking care of them.

[@MicroRotors]

Great Video Rachael. I learn so much from your channel, ... THANK YOU! When you pulled in your fish last season, you pulled in your White Clouds saying it would be to cold for them to over winter. FYI: I left mine out in a 55g HDX tub surrounded by cinder blocks with 8" of hay between them and the tub. Also I put clear saran wrap on the top with a few small slits for air exchange. I recorded the temps until 95% of the tub iced over for about a month. When the ice cleared, ... ALL 10 survived and look fantastic. They are larger and more colorful than their tank-mates I kept inside. The water hyacinth was dead but still floating. Lowest repeating temps I recorded hovered in around 36°F. Try a few next winter.

[@chrisshaw9328]

My whole property has a hazy yellow tink to it lol you could scoop enough off the old car in the back to fill up a measuring cup

[@RachelOLeary]

It's so bad this year

[@robertforrest7956]

The plants and yard look awesome! The flowers are gorgeous. I was thinking with the spanish moss, you can attach it to a nice piece of wood and suspend it in greenhouse, give the Jungle look. 😄 What do you think your haul will be like on the shrimp this season? Thanks Rachel...

[@RachelOLeary]

I got it today! I haven't moved it out there yet, I want to get my "bean lines" up first, was thinkig it may be cool suspended at the top of those :) Thank you again! That orchid is beautiful. Right now, its in my window sill- I am a bit worried it will be too warm consistently in the greenhouse for it.

[@marshaezell1546]

Loved your video!!!!

[@pierreschoonraad6827]

Just love the bog garden and then the contrast of the succulent garden right above it. By the time it will be summer here I might have enough tubs to cover the stoep the way your inspiring me.

[@kes9612]

Absolutley beautiful set -up you have going on there and you have inspired me to ask my husband to do help do a little DIY tub project under our deck that gets sun but not too much. Also cycling&scaping a new 10g and just received my order from tannin aquatics and wanted to thank you for turning me on to them (a nice ethical business) in some of your older vids. I was absolutley satisfied with their botanicals and even bought some of their very nice barks, wood pieces, rock etc

[@RachelOLeary]

Very cool!!

[@d.p.kfishaquariums8825]

They look so cool in the summer tubs mrs o'leary love how everything is looking i bet this is a blast n therapeutic too.

[@maxl5112]

Yesssss! Yes this is awesome!

[@debbiewilhelm3035]

Always enjoy your videos. Q- What temperature swings in the greenhouse can the fish/shrimp handle? Thanks Deb

[@staticjordan42374]

Debbie Wilhelm i have mine in a window that goes from 70- mid 80s in the sun every day and they are fine... sun changing temp is fine but quick temp changes from water changes is dangerous

[@shesellsfish]

And so it begins...I'm so psyched. The shrimp and fish do such amazing things in the summer tubs. 👍💕👍

[@mlmazur2007]

Oh these are in the greenhouse! I am in the same planting zone I think and it's still so cold outside

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

Love the shrimp, they're so adorable! Excellent tips as always! That mosquito control stuff sounds great, too. I'm sure that would really help with the fountain on my patio. Thanks, Rachel!

[@bludymaori]

I wish shrimp were legal in New Zealand. Anyway I bought my first pitcher today, feeling "GEEKED" to the max haha. Love these vids!!

[@RachelOLeary]

ooo~! careful, they are addictive! what did you get?

[@bludymaori]

@@RachelOLeary I got the Nepenthes Alata vine. I'm definitely not stopping there, I have too little self control. keep up the awesome videos, as we go into winter here in New Zealand, I can prepare well for my first summer tubbing season! First to go out are the white clouds. Loving the word "geeked", so fitting haha.

[@TheGentleStitcher]

Congratulations on getting the shrimp tubbing officially under way :) Love seeing how all of your garden containers are looking! Living vicariously through your efforts ;)

Everything is looking great! Always so much work to do, but so worth it!

[@corycurran4769]

Rachel you have inspired me! I’ve been watching your videos for about 2 months now and even set up 2 of the resin whiskey barrels(from Home Depot) out on my patio 2 weeks ago and seeded both with daphnia. I also ordered some lilies and some marginals from Texas water lilies but I currently have them potted and ready to go in buckets in my fish room. I wondering when the best time would be to put them out in my tubs?

[@RachelOLeary]

mine are out- daytimes are in the 60s sometimes 70s, and overnights are high 40s to 50s.

[@corycurran4769]

Rachel O'Leary thanks! I think I’m good to move them out!

[@monicawg]

This is SOOO interesting and inspiring to me!!! Love, love, love!! Great vid in your tubbing series 🤪🤪🤪🤪 I'm starting to feel the itch....

Great video yet again!👍 keep it up👍:)

[@PanRybka22]

Super filmik pozdrawiam serdecznie

[@catfishcave379]

Having one or two male small livebearers in each shrimp tank wouldn't take care of the mosquitos? Can't wait to see the shrimp haul this year.

[@RachelOLeary]

Mosquitoes and some of my baby shrimp. Btis are harmless and useful

[@jessek8114]

I wonder if this is possible to do in my balcony. I live on the 3rd floor.

[@wowdad3055]

Only way to find out is by trying , i think it will work.

[@naerwyn239]

Yes. Just don't get a huge tub. :)

[@tauncfester3022]

Ever considered doing a tub for your native Bee Shrimp, or would the temperatures fluctuate too much?

[@RachelOLeary]

i just think it would be too warm, in general

[@pinkdarkrose]

Wowiiie... Im very interested in how the shrimps will make everything better... Also woohoo habaneros

[@t.c.baquariumfish3423]

COOL VIDEO NICE shrimp ✌😎

[@ZomBeeNature]

Could you put the shrimp in your outside bins now in addition to inside your greenhouse?

[@RachelOLeary]

Still too soon for the yard

[@ZomBeeNature]

@@RachelOLeary will the water outside get too warm in tubs? I thought about putting some Cherry Shrimp in a 30 gallon tub (yes, very small, but that's it) outside with some Guppy Grass, -Hygrophilla,- Hornwort, Brown Ramshorn Snails, and Red Russian Daphnia. I wonder if the water is too cold now, and will be too warm sitting in full sunlight later. What do you think?

[@RachelOLeary]

I dont know your weather

[@ZomBeeNature]

@@RachelOLeary if it was the same as yours, then would it work?

[@josephstanley200]

You really make me want to do some tubbing hope here in Texas it’s not to hot 🥵

are they all neocaridina or caridina?? love your content, greatings and love all the way from mexico, keep that excelnten job!! love your fish room!!

[@RachelOLeary]

all are neos except the malawa, which are a caridina species.

[@juforu22]

Hey Rachel what are the bins you are using for the shrimp in your Greenhouse? They look to be a great size! Thanks!

[@RachelOLeary]

They are Laguna aquaculture bins

[@violettenewman8686]

Rachael, what make is the thermometer you’re using in the greenhouse please? Is it reliable?

[@RachelOLeary]

Its solidly meh. It reads surface temp but has poor penetration

[@robertlambregts3228]

@rachel wasn't sure if I could ask this here, but we have just had a massive thunderstorm here and the water of my patio pond is totally murky and brown. it's almost like chocolate milk. Have you had this before and should I do anything about it or let it be?

[@ZomBeeNature]

Could you tell me why imported solid red cherry shrimp from (big national) pet shops always have babies that are uncolored to barely colored? It seems like if they had such terrible color then the parents would lose their color when they molt, but their color looks even better, if anything, after they molt.

[@RachelOLeary]

because they are produced en masse in big ponds with little quality control so the offspring are often not nearly as nice as the parents picked to sell for their color.

[@bort3486]

shrimpies!!

[@vinnythemooch4158]

Rachel I am looking to buy some tubs & I like the one's in your greenhouse,but I can't seemed to finds them. Please can you give me a lead as to where I can buy them ? Thank You.

[@FinsAndFauna]

Summer needs to hurry up! It was 70 almost all last week, now it’s gunna be in the 50s again...

[@thesajeong]

What's the max temp of the tubs during the daytime? I know that neos are tolerant of a wider range of parameters, but I was curious how they fare with the higher temps I'm assuming occurs within your greenhouse as the sun rises higher in the day and heat is retained within the structure.

[@marcodofootball]

Do you do some sort of thunder prevention for your tubs?

[@RachelOLeary]

I am not sure what you mean? Or do you mean for heavy rainfall? The top of the tubs are drilled, but the reality is, when it is raining hard, all the fish go to the bottom, so even if the tubs overflow, I have never had it be an issue. The only time I have had a problem is when I had a tub elevated, and we had a hurricane. It got SO full, it became off balance and fell over- which was a design flaw.

[@marcodofootball]

@@RachelOLeary yeah that was what I meant. What you are going to do when there away heavy rain falls or heavy storm like a hurricane

[@dimitriosschwechheimer7464]

@Rachel O'Leary Do you top of the tubs with tap water or desrilled water ?

[@RachelOLeary]

The hose or rain water

[@TheMinecrafterMedia]

With summer tubin, why do most people not use filtration?

How do you treat for dragonfly larva?

Rachel...what is the scientific name of that broad leaved pond plant that is doing really well in your tubs

I do not

Why not just add a trio of guppies into each bin? Use them for controlling other critters.

Main reason is I dont care for guppies
