By using one of my Amazon links below any time you begin your shopping I will get a small referral reward even if you don't buy the product listed (when an item is purchased). These little bits add up and help me to buy more garden items to make more videos!
You can use my general amazon link (amzn.to/3qjBw6K) or check out one of the tools below. These are tools I use every day in my garden and highly recommend.
Tree saw - this Silky Professional F180 has a comfortable grip and cuts through branches with ease. I use this for things too large for the pruners. To date there is no rust on it, I put a loop of paracord through the hole in tha handle to make it easier to hang. Link: amzn.to/35Mb77Z
Pruners - The Felco F-2 Pruners are the choice of gardening experts everywhere. They seem to last forever, if you are a real heavy user you can buy replacement blades and make them like new again. Link: amzn.to/3qjzgMO
Snippers - For more precise work such as cutting delicate leaves off of new starts, these Corona stainless steel snippers work great. They have a long narrow blade to get into the tight spots on your seedlings or to prune smaller plants. Link: amzn.to/3KOddc7
Trowel - Now this isn't really classified as a trowel but the Corona Scopp is my everyday all prupose tool that I probably use more than anything else (besides the pruners). This is not the best for digging in the soil but I don't really do much of that in my food forest. This is an excellent tool for potting, which I do a lot of. It holds a lot more than a traditional trowel and is a very well built tool. I've left it out in the rain many times and no rust. Link: amzn.to/3zRa5We
Knife - This Morakniv knife has held up well, it stays sharp and while the blade has lost its bright color it has not rusted. I use this for opening bags of soil and cutting ropes and twine. This knife is fairly inexpensive and includes a belt holster if you prefer to carry it that way. Link: amzn.to/3d9IPbD

    • @GardeningSolutions
      @GardeningSolutions หลายเดือนก่อน

      I get pretty good pressure although I do plan on adding a booster pump. You could elevate some higher but any below that would have to be water tight as water will seek to stay at the same level in all barrels. You'd have to have a tall vent to allow water to escape the barrel but keep the water in.

    I use the water softener salt bags…heavy duty white, good for Florida intense sun. also the same bags that the soil comes in that you replace in the Earth box. It’s ironic you already have the plastic looking you square in the face. There’s also plastic from Amazon called panda it’s black on one side and white on the other it’s quite heavy duty and works very well I’m going to try to learn how to put the elastic in them but I’m using irrigation tubing clips per mate just like the person that made this video works well but if no you need to overfill your earth boxes and have a crown above the edge and then cover it to keep water from getting in from the top and causing your soil to be too hot from fertilizer that’s been hit with water for the top, don’t let water come in from the top make sure your covers go over the edge and you have a mound of dirt as Earthbox recommends.

You mentioned a pump -- I was wondering if we had a barrel system at the house, and a solar-powered pump at the garden, if it might help bring the water up there (instead of me carrying 5-gallon buckets). Any thoughts? Thanks!

      My use case is a little different, I need higher pressure for the EarthBox automatic watering system. I bought this pump: amzn.to/4bipccP It's designed to keep a constant higher pressure. I'll probably run it on a cycle (2 x per day for an hour). For your application there's many ways to go about it, maybe a float valve at the lower barrel to trigger a pump to push the water up to the garden reservoir? Solar & battery is a good way to go.

    Been doing this for about 10 years. They have held up . My husband brings them home from work every few months. He works at beer distribution and They held line cleaner which is really just citric acid so totally safe. I made my own turntable composter out of one and it worked. Now I make so much compost I don't need it but I used it for a year. We also set up rain barrels.

    Put the poly in the sun before you work with it soften it up be careful it'll get hot.
