I saw a tickety-tokety last Spring saying to fill w/ recycling plastics. Did it for a few weeks for my sunflowers. Ended up transplanting them out of the pots w/ recyclables & it was ridiculous to take the junk back out. So I don’t recommend. She said she had owned a landscaping business & did that at people’s homes to make the pots lighter & use less soil. 😅

I read about that tip a few weeks ago. I've been repotting my plants into bigger pots with empty plastic bottles on the bottom. The pots are so much lighter and use less soil.

@@susantitus6133 When I transplanted out of the recycling, I didn’t care for all the roots growing on the plastic w/o soil around them. I had assumed the plastic would act like a rock, but there were too many air gaps.

The problem I have had with wholesaler "topsoil" products is that they advertise these to be sandy loam, but what you end up getting often ends up being an extremely clay-heavy clay loam. It is hard as a rock as soon as it settles and dries. The only method that has worked for me is to use a known clay loam and mix it with even parts of gritty sand and compost or wholesale nitrolized soil amendment. That gives me a sandy loam (50% sand + 50% clay loam) amended by an organic soil. The result has more than 20% clay and holds minerals well, but the sand and the organic material allow it to remain friable.

Do you have a video concerning tomato pest insects? I am in East Texas and we have a bug down here that has a long snout that it uses to puncture tomatoes. Once bitten, green or ripening fruit, the tomato rots. I know of no control for it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Love your shows. My Dad was a Tarheel, and boy could he garden / farm.

How do you get rid of termites? I did a Hugelculter and put cardboard, logs and sticks, leaves, and 50 lbs of moldy wood pellets. Then soil. After I planted 2 weeks later I was transplanting some stuff and thousands of termites were crawling all through it. I had to throw it all out. 4 raised beds. Gone. But now I find them in the soil and in other potted plants and grow bags. Ho can I get rid of them without getting rid of everything?

We just put together and filled 6 raised vegetable gardens using this method. But then my husband treated our lawn with Grubex (granular) and some inadvertently landed in our unplanted gardens. Is this dangerous for the vegetables we then planted? Will we ingest poison if we eat our vegetables? Secondly, we topped our planted beds with brown mulch, keeping the stem areas cleared for watering. But now I’m wondering if the dye in the mulch is harmful for our plants and therefore us. I’m just sick with worry that we’re growing food that’s going to hurt us. My husband is not worried in the least. Comments?

I like your raised bed. I hear people complain about the insane amount of time and effort to put the other brand together when actually, it's a clique brand ... like Range Rovers. I make my own beds, but yours are prettier. Would you be willing to send one to be reviewed by my friend? Her channel is, 'My Great Challenge.'

Could you use this method if you placed your bed on concrete or pavement ? 🌻
@calista12809 ай бұрын
Yes, but water will leach thru and stain the concrete or pavement
@mmsanrio9 ай бұрын
If concrete is your only option, you could go w/ a raised planter & place a bin or 2 below to catch the water running thru. I guess I’d just wonder how water logged the bed would be if sitting on pavement. I suppose if you didn’t care about the cement, you could get a planter w/ a bottom & raise it up on bricks 🧱 or on cement blocks. That way it can drain.

Don't use cardboard or any recycled paper products. Reason is the older paper products from the 70s and 60s is still being recycled and it's got a lot of ungodly nasty stuff in it from lead to dioxin to cadmium, you name it, you will find it in recycled paper products.
