Please dont appologize for the video being too long. I am new and just wait to watch and sad when it ends lol. I truly love your video's! Refreshing.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

OMG, thank you SO VERY Much, Take care, Robbie

[@jillfletcherdouglas6143]

Robbie, I have found your videos this spring. The pot in pot compost system has been a game changer for sure. I have grown things in container with limited results. This year every container was layered with sticks leaves compost and debris. Then planted with flowers or Veggies or both. Most have in place composers some were too small for that. Well, it has been the most successful production ever. Thanks so much.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

This brings me JOY!!!! Thank you SO MUCH, have a wonderful gardening season, take care, Robbie

[@KanakaMaoli713]

I’ve been wanting to try container garden for so long this is finally the year to make it happen thanks to your videos!

[@VLynnie]

I started a portable compost container out of my protein powder container. They're small enough to put beside my plants growing in 18 gallon totes. My goodness! One of my scrawny squashes took off and is now bigger than the ones that were much bigger. It works! Thank you for sharing your clever ideas.

[@MsCraftPrincess]

God Bless you two Robbie & Gary you guys inspire me more everyday love the video love them, when they are long too I don't care what anybody says you gave more details on your video's then any video's I seen in Garden growing your ideals on other people trash are our treasure in use for our beautiful Garden last week me and my daughter went house hunting and I came across 4 nice size tote's for my Garden I was happy with joy , let me tell you something too Robbie am a Crafty woman and you inspire me with more ideal on things I create it for my Garden I thank you for that " oh wait " just a minute don't want to leave Gary out of this he is a great create and inspire person too God Bless both of you thank you again.

[@jennygibbons1258]

I learned that stressed plants grow better, sweeter tomatoes. Water only infrequently when wilting. Lots of water = lots of tomatoes and much less flavour. Thanks for your video 😊

[@rebeccazody1278]

I grow in containers too. Watched you and got the container garden bug.🥰. Using totes, my favorite way, but also buckets, bowls and baskets from dollar store, etc. Sometimes to make my look uniform I place my containers inside of a raised bed with trellises. The moles/voles are not devastating them. You can control the water too, so much better than planting in the ground. Purposeful holes are present in everything. Pot in a pot to fertilize is working ; It is just great. Thank you so much.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

I am so with you on all of that, I have all kinds of dollar containers here too, love it! Sounds great there! Thank you so very much, Take care, Robbie

[@twtw3901]

Hi Rebecca, Could you send a picture of your raised bed with trellises? I'm trying to figure a way to disguise the totes since I have two neighbours who back onto my backyard.

[@patriciafisher1170]

Laughed when you talked about your daughter. As my daughters are just the same. God bless them.

I try, and yes, if it is easy, than it is fun, and one will do it for life (I hope), Thank you so very much, Take care, Robbie

[@beckystucki8988]

Robbie & Gary, is it all right to use a large plastic Kitty litter container (washed out) as a compost in place in a sterilite container or does the compost container have to be food grade - also where do you put the holes on the compost container.. thankyou for healthier gardening tips.becky

I have catnip that grows into bushes at my house. My daughter was always harvesting it for her cats, this year I dug up a plant and gave it to her. A few days later she said the neighborhood cats are killing the plant,so I gave her some tulle. She wrapped it around the plant, it stopped them from eating it but not from rolling on it lol she now has it sitting on her utility box so they can’t get it

Oh yes, the bottom will drain out the "drilled holes" on the bottom, still needs drainage, but at least it is open so it will not mold the wood deck, Thank you so very much, Take care, Robbie

Thank you! You're a genius! I appreciate your tulle tip. Last year I used bird netting and was upset to find that a lot of dragon flies got caught in it. This year I'm getting into feeding wild birds and I refuse to use it in my yard. I get stuck in that stuff myself so good riddance. Today I saw a Cardinal eating a horn worm off my tomatoes and it gave me so much joy! I made some "worm traps" and also set up a container deck garden inspired by you. You're the best! Love your bubbly personality.

He has now devoted a cornern of our large garden box for composting. We save all our kitchen waste to add to that section. He now sees composting in action.

Sounds great, this composting method not only is easy but I have found works perfect for our gardens. Thanks and happy gardening 😊

Hi Robbie & Gary, it is always nice to watch every Video you put out on youtube. I am always inspired by the way you do your container gardening. It is very easy and yet your producing a lot of foods. I believe that gardening should be easy and not complicated so everyone could start their own garden too even in small spaces. =always inspired by you= watching from PHILIPPINES❤

[@jaditelady173mary4]

Growing up my parents always had huge gardens...2 field size gardens in Ohio...lots of fruit & nut trees too. I had to always work in garden weeding, picking beans, etc. Then came Canning time. But I must say we all sure loved eating that food out of the garden. They continued to garden until both died at 90 & 94 respectively. When I bought my own home I built a small raised garden to make my own salsa. I sold that home in 2008 and had not gardened since...until the virus! Where I now live I was able to carve out a small area in the flower bed for some veggies. I'm too old now to be able to do large scale. I found your videos and really enjoy your no fuss way of gardening. And I have learned so much about small container gardening from you in the short time I've watched your videos....but still have more to learn obviously. I have been particularly interested in trellis systems since i have such a small space and need stuff to grow up....instead of sideways. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jeanniek1498]

Little Kitty is so dang Cute ❤❤❤

[@sandyg4951]

Robbie, I've been incorporating some of your fabulous ideas into my container garden this year with great success. Something was getting into my pots and digging around my potatoes (squirrels or birds??) so I stuffed tulle around the plants, and I expect I won't have that problem any longer. Tulle is the absolute BEST! Thanks for all your great ideas, and don't worry that your videos are too long. They are totally worth watching!!

[@pamelabell4751]

I cut out the Nightshade family which is tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant. My tendonitis and bursitis went away > Prevention Magazine had an article about the NIghtshade family and joint disease years ago. I cut out the Nightshade family during the course of following a Macrobiotic diet. Before that I had to ice my legs several times a day to stop the pain of tendonitis.

[@susiewhipple8751]

I love this video! Thank you! I live in the desert and all my plants are struggling. I am looking forward to the cooler weather so I can plant more. I bought growing bags from Amazon. Do you have every pot raised? I am now on the lookout for containers to make compost bins to put in the planters I already have. I wish I could talk to you in person lol. Thanks again!

Man I got red potatoes growing next to me tree next to compost never planed for !! God bless mother nature!! Glad I'm not the only one who has things I had bolt or not germinate the year before and pop up but I appreciate and love that I'm not the only crazy one out there that loves Mother Nature truly thought I was horrible but God and mother nature truly test the worth of a man willing to put forth the works to give gods plan a chance to just let God help you understand how hard and simple to be true !!@

Hello from Australia. ❤🇦🇺😁👋 I've just stumbled onto your great channel & subbed. I've been gardening for years but the last 5 years I only grow edibles. Have planted various fruit trees & now need to get serious on my veggie growing & some fun colorful crockery garden decorations. I've decided buckets, containers, hung pipes, bits of guttering, old wheelbarrows whatever I've got lying around or can pick up free or dirt cheap, will be my best options for herbs & veggies. Pretty much exactly what you're doing. How fantastic! I've already got lots of herbs going, spinach galore, lettuce, garlic & ginger. Next to grow will be carrots, potatoes, sugar snap peas, beans, zucchini, a variety of tomatoes & various pumpkins. I bought a heap of heirloom seeds online a while ago. Very excited to start these up according to weather time frames. I love gardening. It's head space zone out & relax, or it's busy busy work out stuff as well as wonderful to eat healthy yummy stuff you've grown yourself with no nasty chemicals. I save all sorts of videos for my subscribers to watch, so I thought some would love to see what you do. How anyone can grow some or all of their own food no matter where & how you live. It's so vitally important these days. God bless you dear lady for your amazing contribution of positive energy into this sad, decaying, evil world around us. We so need more people like yourself. Be happy, stay safe. 💕❤💙💛💚🕊👱‍♀️😊👋 I also love your enthusiasm, happy friendliness & the obvious joy you get from your gorgeous little hummingbirds. I don't see them where I live in South Australia. Maybe the weather is too variable? But there are other Ozzie birds around.

Fabulous video and very great tips thank you so much and yes I am mashing the like button.

[@yellowbird5411]

While I have a lot of bushes and trees in my yard, I often will go out into the alley or neighboring alleys under trees and bushes and I find great soil under them where leaves, bugs and plants have died and built the soil. In my own yard, I stack cuttings around the base of trees and bushes as well as weeds that I pull or cut. If I pull back some of it I can find good soil as well. It takes a year or two I found for things to really break down, but if you make areas where all your clippings, grass, leaves, etc. go, you make your own soil, and if you put them around your plants, you are accomplishing two things at once - feeding the plant and making good compost. It kills me to spend money on dirt, even good dirt. I am near the beach in Florida, and our "soil" is sand. Certain trees do well here, and bushes. But gardens are a whole different matter. That is why I am doing containers now.
