Hey, I put it in the pipe. This way it woild stay in the water. My reasoning is that you can break up the dunk and water over it, but if it was already submerged in water, mosquitoes wouldn't want to lay eggs, since they need stale water.

A few Google searches showed me a couple of things. I personally like "stepsister from Planet Weird" Lance Guest as Cosmo Cola

Thank you. I hope it helped.

AWWW MAN!! That is BRILLIANT!! I’ve been trimming them down round the hole, wasting so much product! And it makes such a mess! Thanks for the tip!

I have 2 pickers and can't for the life of me find replacement aeration screen. Is there a way to DIY to fit this system? I don't want them to go to waste. They're super cool

Not so much replacing the aeration screen. This is how to fix cracks in the sides of the planter. I just did a google search and it doesnt seem like Emscogroup makes separate components for sale. Thank you for watching by the way.

Of course it's a good video. Thank you for your help. Looks like I get to try some DIY.

@@fabulous_quinitadyre3405 I saw some TH-cam videos of people making their own SIP systems or sub irrigated planters. Once I get back from this deployment Ill try my hand and making something. It might just be as simple as buying a plastic tote bin lid and cutting it to shape thrn drilling small holes in it and a 2 inch hole for a pipe? It sounds crazy enough to work which means I will probably try it.

Oh yeah I've done that with a bucket. Grew beautiful okra. I wonder if it would work with existing city pickers tubs. Return home safe!

You dont need it, but it makes life easier when its 100°+ degrees out. Sometimes plants being top watered will burn up if the leaves are covered with water. The pipe makes it so that the roots get the water while the top of the plant stays dry.

Oh I took out the plants and major balls of roots.

Mold is normally a good thing, natural breakdown of organics and if you use the mulch top it forms very easily. You can buy an organic fertilizer like Gaia Green 4-4-4 and sprinkle it ontop and that fungus will break it all down, and your ready for spring👍 Plants naturally seek water below and food from the top of the soil, so city pickers emulate that system.

And definitely leave the roots, just plant beside the old rootball in the spring. IMO :)

Thank you guys for answering that question. I will be honest, that's something someone with way more experience would know. I use these containers primarily for summer and then I leave them alone after that. I do know that it is very difficult to get some things out of these planters. Just experiment is what I say.

@@quatezreid8126 Goodness I had forgotten I had even posted this. I did exactly what @will recommended (minus the root balls) Chopped the soil a bit, added a coating of compost with a row of fertilizer and--all set for spring this year. Infact, happy plants as I write this.

Thanks for watching. This is Montegue Village on W. Fort Hood. Its mostly quiet but trying to cross the road in the morning might be a little bit of a problem.

@@quatezreid8126 Ohhh! Hahah I bet! We got a house in Kouma Village and it looked just like this haha!

where'd you get those black slotted covers? thanks

@@llllll6584 I put his name in the description but he doesnt have a link. I will have to reach out to him and see if its ok to give his information out.

Thank you. This system is definitely optimized for things like this. It grows TOO well. Its good for my kids to go and eat though

@@llllll6584 thats really good information. Let me know how it turns out. Its probably cheaper than buying AG mix or some other mix every 2-3 months.

you can cut the rapid rooter in 4. then you get 4 per 1. then just put it in an aerogarden basket and poke a hole at the top and plant it. good luck to you.

Thanks for watching. You cant get corn from the AG BUT you can start corn in it. Actually all three of the corn plants I started in the AG are transplanted outside and are doing well. I just haven't made the update videos because its alot of work for 2 views or so lol

@@llllll6584 Thank you. I did this but ai found that the rapid rooters were short and if you were to grow something small, you have to either hope they wont be leggy or put a cotton ball under the rapid rooter to prop it up, especially with these custom light blockers

God bless you too. We just had a massive storm but hopefully with more sunshine, the plants stand straight up again.

Just an update, everything that was planted came up EXCEPT the corn. Well I should say that the corn came up but it didnt get pollinated so all I got was giant stalks with no corn. Then I deployed. Once I get back, Ill try again. But the peppers did well, the melons...were decent, the tomatoes came out awesome but I gave them away because I dont like them. All in all, pretty successful.

That means alot to me. I was juat feeling like quitting, but as long as one person likes this stuff thats all I need. Much appreciated seriously.

@@quatezreid8126 the world needs more moralistic people like you teaching the youth real skills. Instead of twerking and hood culture. I grew up in one of tge roughest hoods in Chicago. My area was made into an episode on gangland. I had to learn jeet kune do in order to protect myself from gangbangers trying to recruit me. Now that I am a much older man thats now away from that dramatic environment? I'm doing what I love to do? Which is grow food doing my best at urban gardening. I found you're channel for searching for info on my grobuckets. Im currently growing medical cannabis in them. You're mosquito hack is genius.

Thank you for that. I actually didnt think about that. I was just trying to trap the ambient heat from the sun with clear plastic. Ill try that though when the winter comes again here in...4 months. Thank you!

I hope they workout for you as well. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching. Your videos were definitely an inspiration for this one.

Good to see that youre a fellow gardener. I just started some corn, swiss chard, and lettuce. I doubt Id get any fruits this year.

Me and Hank talked it over. He thinks we should change our name to be inspired by his favorite channel: 1 Tez and a Dog lol

@@quatezreid8126 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sounds like a great name!!! Can’t go wrong!!

Thank you for watching. Im glad it helped you out. Youre right, those instructions arent very detailed.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

The only thing cheap about McDonald's is the quality. Well American McDonald's anyways. My kids' problem is that they always change their tastebuds lol. Today they like hamburgers, tomorrow they don't. I sometimes wonder if I have reptiles for children.

Thanks for watching guys. This is kind of a hard topic because no one likes discussing money unless its coming in. I think the next video I do on this topic will be more indepth.

Thank you for watching and subscribing! I appreciate your time spent. Though I talk about alot of things, Ill make sure to revisit this topic again. Currently, theres a couple other videos in the cue till about March.

Thank you Telisha. Thats my favorite comment of all time. Im glad someone enjoys them. Means alot to me. Braggers dont even like braggers.

Thanks Jerwin. I wish I knew this when I first got married. Wouldve saved pointless arguments.

Its not very fun lol. In the Army, 80% of your living is with someone else. They may or may not have personal hygiene issues or other personal quirks that you have to deal with.

I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, being yourself is one of the hardest things for some people to do. We just have to accept that we cant please everyone and focus on things we can do well.

They say that the fastest way to make a hundred dollars is to give your family $200 tens years ago lol.

Im still working on it but I only have 20k left on my student loans. But I definitely won't even just lend it to family anymore.

@@quatezreid8126 You can definitely do it!!! New year, fresh start!!!!

Big Giant Thank you for not only watching the video but ALSO subscribing. I hope I can stay worthy of it. As for the actual tip, I try to think outside the box with all my advice. I know myself personally, when my wife holds me accountable for the pointless things I buy, I wont hear the end of it. Thats what keeps me from self sabotage.

Unfortunately, most of the people who are stuck in their own deceptions cant be stopped through normal ways. This video is for the occasional "I'm a baller sometimes" liars that arent too far gone yet. Though self deception and hate is a good topic to do a deep dive into. Probably for the second video, Ill do a case study/ analysis on a well known liar and pick out traits as a cautionary tale. Thabks for watching and Im sad you had to go through it with your ex.

@@quatezreid8126 I figured, it just hit a cord on how pervasive lying is. Makes one not want to trust anyone - which I personally think is an impossible task, discernment is KEY. Peace.

Whats up man? Thanks for watching the videos. It actually means alot to me. Im still in by the way. Though I'm still just a guy trying to help other guys be great.
