Keep the videos and information flowing. Great video!

[@taluis1]

Great idea! Thank you.

I do the same for the totes I use for gardening

[@farmervee_yt]

Thank you for that tip.😊

You could get a double crop out of those pools *and* control mosquitos by *also* culturing different varieties of Medaka ricefish for sale. Very cool setup!

That's so neat. It's too bad because I love the colors of the pools. I had one that was pink and yeah only about two years in the direct sun. Not good. If only the covers came in nicer colors like blue and purple.

[@cliffowens3629]

My concern with the color of the plastic is that the water would heat up and cook the roots. I live in South Florida where it DOES get hot.

[@sumerbc7409]

What about white plastic? It would reflect sunlight and keep water cooler. I'm in Tx..

Fabric bags are the way to go.

How do you control mosquito larva in the water? Can bladder wort survive the hot shallow water?

[@estherjachens2464]

What plants are those

[@obiwantzcanolisandmomgarde8490]

TY very informative I am considering using kiddie pools Where can I find this heavy black plastic That is new to me TY very much

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

Check your local hardware store. That's where we get them.

Wish I had watched this yesterday! My pool is already filled!

[@lindalu8565]

Where is your nursery?

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

Eagle Creek, Oregon.

[@chadfolmar5900]

Ever heard of rehydrating plastic?

[@foamy909]

The videos are great and informational but does anyone else kind of not like how the mic picks up the sound of them taking a breath or swallowing? Is it just me? That aside thank you for the vid!

Don't let little things rent big issues space in your mind; Ignore it darling and focus on the info.

[@kennethholland1502]

I will bet money the plastic is not 6mm. More like 0.6mm maybe

[@SarraceniaNorthwest]

Thanks for watching the video! It's a common mistake to confuse mil with mm. Mil is an empirical unit, 1/1000th of an inch. It's a standard measurement for sheets of plastic in the United States.

I plan on using the pools I bought for growing my potatoes and after purchasing four a curious person asked a scary question; Won't the plastic leach into the soil?
