Dude i'm starting this today in my back yard, your channel gave me so much motivation, I'm taking these technique in Africa to help out communities in need. It's ridiculous to starve on such a rich soil God has given to us.....knowledge is power.
Rob Greenfield you are my hero. I am growing many vegtables and herbs on my terrace and I get all of my seeds from my shop bought veg, ie, peppers, tomatoes have grown. I am now trying avocados and I am looking for lemongrass and trying to start community garden here in a village in the South of Spain. Keep growing people, lets eat well, be independent and save the planet at the same time. :)
Kayla, I did the same with the pool my grandson outgrew. Planted strawberries, herbs and cucumbers in it. Surprised how much I could put in a small space.
There are no excuses in starting a garden. Watching your video has motivated me even more to continue doing what I am doing even though, friends think I am a little obsessive with growing my on food. You have re-energized me again--keep up the the great work in spreading the word. Thanks!
To find out if seeds are good put water in a bowl dump seeds in water. if the seeds float on top they are bad. if the seeds sink to bottom they are good. most seeds will be good for 3 or 4 years
Awesome Rob! Grow your own food! It really is easy. Don't listen to people who tell you it is hard or expensive. It's only as hard or expensive as you want to make it. I grew 14 foot tomato plants using recycled pallets for a raised bed, free craigslist concrete mesh for trellises, free and homemade compost. My only expense was water, but some of it was free, harvested off my roof. I grew hundreds of dollars worth of tomatoes for a small fraction of what they cost in the store, and they were higher quality and more delicious than any store bought tomato. Tomatoes are just one of many thousands of varieties of edible plants you can grow. Even if you have to pay for materials and use city water you will ultimately save money and resources growing your own. Not to mention it just feels good to grow it yourself.
I hate pep that just burn pallets. Soo many uses, soo little time. I had a Troy Burial Ground pile of 1in to 2 in sticks 8 ft long.....the pilke was 4ftx8ctx20ft. My wife burned it because the insurance company threatened to cancel us.....they did anyway. I can't believe I started doing this only 10 years ago or so. Rob G is the dude though, drew tears when he said he gives away seeds. Off to toss wood chips from my drive on top of the fall leaves on the compost/garden out back.
I agree with composting AND would like to point out that we have had a problem with rats and racoons being attracted. Sometimes the free city soil contains invasive plant seeds like garlic mustard (which you can eat, but they do take over). Just to be aware of these possibilities . Overall, absolute praise for all you efforts putting all this info together to share. LOVE the work you do, awareness you bring and action you take to show what can be done. You are a real gem! You have a great sense of how to inspire people and present your ideas in a clear and actionable way. Many thanks for your creative mind in being socially enterprising.
Have to mention something. I had a lot of garlic mustard in my yard, when I moved in 20 years ago. Years had passed and someone told me I could eat them. I tried it. Liked and now they are few and would be easy to eradicate, but I leave a few cuz I'm not worried And I really like eating straight off the stalk so to speak. I suggest doing what frogs do...eat whatever bugs them. Haha. Funny but true. Let them invade, I'll keep eating.
Just wandered onto your video and I really enjoyed it. I live in the country (in France) and grow vegetables in various types of containers. I use my well to water along with rain water, and grow organically...or as organically as possible. I was really impressed by the way and the quantity of food you "process". More power to you and thanks!
Same thing with pallet wood, they don't care what is has been treated with. Also pallets are totally reused by businesses, that's has changed www.thebalancesmb.com/what-happens-to-used-wood-pallets-2878167 I work for a grocery store, and taking the pallets or milk crates from behind a store is stealing, because the store reuses them over and over until they fall apart (I wish my store would get new ones, our are looking pretty bad).
AS a home gardener here in beautiful Barbados in culinary herbs..thyme..chives..marjoram..etc..Your video is very informative and as you rightly said can be done easy and simple diy..Have a good day!
🌸This is beautiful and inspiring. Hungry people can’t worry about many details at first therefore I commend your efforts there in Bankhead. I sure hope people are not only listening to you but taking action.🌸
Wonderful! In Philadelphia where I live, the Fairmount Park recycling center gives away free compost and wood chips to anyone who lives in Philadelphia. I went and stocked up last week and I can’t tell you what a boon that has been for my urban gardening! What great ideas you have.
Great suggestions. Also, to determine if seeds are viable put a few on a damp paper towel. Fold over so the seeds are well covered. Keep damp for about 5 days. When the towel is unfolded, good seeds will have started to sprout. Fresh food will always taste better than store bought.
Awesy so inspiring .. I'm interested in seeds, foraging and I launching a community garden with my granddaughter gotta scout troop in April!!! THX for the tips and ideas!!!
Aislinn Lynch you will love it. get a salad container, a pack of dollar tree lettuce seeds, an inch of soil and plant the seeds and water/soak, cover with a dark clean towel. your lettuce will sprout in a few days. keep moist. then put in sunny window. you have just grown part of your salad.
Be careful with mint!!! It will take over 😲if it's not in a pot. Like a WEED. Congrats on your new gardening adventure! Wish you were local, I would hook you up with garlic, turmeric etc...
Thank you Rob! Inspiring and practical :D The only thing I would add is to be careful with the buckets, try to understand what they have been used before as they may have toxic residues. Grow food not lawns! ;)
It's a car bed for a child sans mattress. My son had one exactly like it!😊 Also, rainwater running down roofing tiles may contain some chemical contaminants. Foraging is great but it's so important to be knowledgeable so as not to get poisoned. Also to be certain those yards have not been sprayed. Of course, the weeds will die after treatment but it's the interim. People usually flag their yards if treated but things can happen. Anyway, I am new to your channel and I love it!
Thank you for sharing the various ways to make a raised bed garden and compost! It shows that you really CAN make a compost/garden no matter what budget or living space you've got. Very inspiring and full of great resources.
I just thought of something and I"m sure I"m not the first to think of it but instead of plastic bags, it may be more sustainable to use plastic containers, or any container, but like you said in another video, the glass jars don't handle the space as efficiently in confined space like a freezer, which is true, yes. It is very sad that pallets aren't at least used in a different way. It's about finding a combination of cost effectiveness and sustainability, of course, and always thinking of the ideas, some of which seem crazy probably such as the one that will actually worked. An idea people thought was crazy back in the day was surgeons washing hands. It was proven in an experiment to save many lives, in a controlled experiment in the mid-1800s but the medical community ignored it. Well, now we know, it's kinda important. =D
This is really helpful! I got a lot of seeds from the food bank and I have been putting them in used plastic cups, containers I made from scrap cardboard, and some pots my mom had in her garden. I took some of her compost and mixed it with some leftover soil she had from a hanging plant, and now I have a bunch of seeds planted and possibly growing!
You're compost veggies are great places to get seeds as well. Almost all of my plants come from seeds and starts from my veggie scraps. Keep the bottom stems from lettuces, cabbage, green onions, carrots etc. All potatoes will grow starts that you can put in water to grow roots. Then plant them. Almost all other veggies have seeds. I save all my seeds in the late winter and get them planted in old egg cartons or whatever else I can get cheap at the dollar store. There are seed swaps online that make for some awesome selections. You can trade with people all over the country.
Thank you for the great video! I've been wanting to do some container gardening in my apartment for a while, but the supplies seemed too expensive. You gave me some great ideas! I loved the suggestion of using cardboard instead of mulch. Did you know that food stamps can also be used to buy seeds? The Dollar Tree sells seeds too. Your idea of using other people's yards to grow vegetables is great! I've thought of it myself, but unfortunately I'm disabled, and can't do that. I think, though, that a good resource for people who can, is the senior community. Lots of elderly people can't take care of their yards anymore, and would love to have the help and some extra food. Thanks again! I'll be checking out your other videos soon!
Very addicted to watching all your stuff Rob defo inspiring 💜💜
5 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Your the best. Thank you so much. I like all your videos and watch it to the end. And save it to watch it and share it. Most valuable video for starting a garden and off grid living. Keep it coming. I am sharing too
Thanks Rob! Great tricks!!! I am a little bit concerned with the industrial soils you get from construction sites. They are often contaminated with chemicals and/or heavy metals that can be taken up by the plants. Raise beds are a great way to grow your food, if you think your yard might be contaminated.
Hey Steeve, Yes it's important to check the source and use common sense with all of it. I do think that growing food this way is still way better than buying non organically grown food at the store, which is what most people are doing. I've added that information to my guide at: robgreenfield.tv/growfood/ And Shanna, most pallets are not treated and are safe to use. Information on that in the link as well.
I just want to say thank you for such a great teaching video, I enjoyed it very much, and I also want to say thank you for sharing your seeds with others, how kind of you , I'm sure you put a big smile on our Hevenly Fathers face. Keep up the great work, have a blessed day.😊
I'm very happy for you Rob, Faith without works is dead, we need more givers in this world like you, is why the Lord is blessing you to receive, still close your door's at night when you go to bed, there is no need to be foolish in your giving and surroundings.
Here in MI you can get veggie seeds and plants w/ a food card. Also can grow from actual food purchased in the grocery. Onion roots and avocado seeds ECT.
im so jealous ive been studying all this stuff for years buying books ect but haven't had the guts to actually do it peirpersure is stopping me im kind of waiting till everyone else does it because they have to
peter macleod Gardening is all about successful gardening and learning from your failures! Don’t let them intimidate you. They have had plenty of failures.
I have tried also but live w/freddy krugar who has destroyed what i have grown😡 including taking up good free mulch bcz of the city. Nothing wrong w/the mulch it was the old tractors, old cars he collects thr after.🤬...i am attempting again w/ a chop & drop of all the over growth from the back yard.
You are so cool and inspiring! I’ve thought of many of these ideas and have feared looking like a hippie 😬 I couldn’t agree more about grow food instead of lawn.. we have lawn that I think we maintain to please the HOA 🧐
I believe it is a researcher with the University of Alberta who determined that food plants grown in soil from a municipal dump do not contain more toxins than produce bought at the grocery store.
Growing food entails hard work but you are 100% sure that it is free from chemicals. I envy those community garden. We do not have any here in our place.
I have gotten dying seedlings from the farmers co-op for free. Most of them thrive after planting, just a later harvest if you have a long enough season
I have dandelions growing all around the edges of my veggie garden’s so they can keep the soil and mulch in the garden and I don’t need edging because they are the edging I also harvest the leaves , roots and flowers . I dry the dandelion leaves and roots and use them in soups, stews ,salads and sprinkle on eggs etc also use them in teas and so on the list is endless the flowers I use in teas ,dandelion honey , jam/ jelly and make my own moisturiser and soooo much more that dandelions can be used for .
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I am very excited to continue learning about sustainability and sustainable farming! Just discovered your channel and I am so intrigued! Continue to share your knowledge, you are very inspirational! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Your awesome you got life figured out.. Sorry about spelling. Enjoy your life you figured it out young.. I wish I could travel and get up and go.. Van life looks awesome also..
I live in An apartment complex and building a small little herb garden. There’s a concrete platform next to the apartment building I live in. But, between the platform and the building there’s a gap that is about 2” wide and 2” deep and I’m piling old leaves and grass clippings there to use that compost. I’m also worm composting. I bought 2 worm boxes from Walmart and an critter keeper and I’m hoping the worms are doing their work

Nice one and very inspiring
Rob you're a seriously inspiring guy... Never stop doing what you do...
Totally agree
Such a frugal and dare I say " down to earth" video. Love it. Save the earth, and landfills, by simple choices and mindsets. ❤️🌱🌾🌿

You are such a beautiful person giving away free seeds to those who cannot afford them. Love your videos! Thank you from Australia!
I'm 3 minutes in and had to stop to say, so simple and genuis. This stuff makes me so happy, especially in winter. Dreaming of spring adventures.
That car bed is hilarious! My dog's plastic swimming pool got a hole in it so I made it into a raised bed for my radishes and beets!
There's gardening groups on facebook that treat those plastic pools as the gold standard for growing.
I use several kiddie pools in my garden. All my yellow squash is growing in it and doing very well
Kayla, I did the same with the pool my grandson outgrew. Planted strawberries, herbs and cucumbers in it. Surprised how much I could put in a small space.
There are no excuses in starting a garden. Watching your video has motivated me even more to continue doing what I am doing even though, friends think I am a little obsessive with growing my on food. You have re-energized me again--keep up the the great work in spreading the word. Thanks!

Oh. I thought seeds can last forever.
I just planted pumpkin from seeds I saved 11 years ago
I've had seeds that floated but sprouted anyways
Sometimes seeds take a while to sink, and can take a little push under to actually sink.
Kitty Kat, the same concept for eggs
Great video Rob. I recently discovered that my local library actually has a free seed bank that folks can give and take from.
Wisconsin does that too!
This is such a cool idea.
Awesome Rob! Grow your own food!
It really is easy. Don't listen to people who tell you it is hard or expensive. It's only as hard or expensive as you want to make it.

also be careful about using old tires they can leech out chemicals
kittykat Goode I was thinking the exact same thing
Agreed. Can’t believe he suggested using old tires. Big no on that.
Same thing with pallet wood, they don't care what is has been treated with. Also pallets are totally reused by businesses, that's has changed www.thebalancesmb.com/what-happens-to-used-wood-pallets-2878167 I work for a grocery store, and taking the pallets or milk crates from behind a store is stealing, because the store reuses them over and over until they fall apart (I wish my store would get new ones, our are looking pretty bad).
The only thing I would plant in them would be flowers to attract bees and other pollinators
Would it work if you lined the tires with landscape fabric?
AS a home gardener here in beautiful Barbados in culinary herbs..thyme..chives..marjoram..etc..Your video is very informative and as you rightly said can be done easy and simple diy..Have a good day!
This video will make any one want to have a Food Garden.... Very well done Young Sir!!!!
rob you're a bloody legend mate. also @ 2:19 those murals on the abandoned apartments are sick
🌸This is beautiful and inspiring. Hungry people can’t worry about many details at first therefore I commend your efforts there in Bankhead. I sure hope people are not only listening to you but taking action.🌸
Wonderful! In Philadelphia where I live, the Fairmount Park recycling center gives away free compost and wood chips to anyone who lives in Philadelphia. I went and stocked up last week and I can’t tell you what a boon that has been for my urban gardening! What great ideas you have.
Rob we need more people like you brother, God bless you!!
I am a first year gardener, with mixed results. So learning as I go already looking to expand nest year. Thanks for the great tips on doing it cheap.
Great suggestions. Also, to determine if seeds are viable put a few on a damp paper towel. Fold over so the seeds are well covered. Keep damp for about 5 days. When the towel is unfolded, good seeds will have started to sprout. Fresh food will always taste better than store bought.
Excellent synthesis Rob. Of course in countries with colder weather it may not be as simple though.
OMG I love the silver Celica
The plastic car is a child's bed. My son has one. We will be turning it into a garden when he grows
better not buy that crap in the first place
Awesy so inspiring .. I'm interested in seeds, foraging and I launching a community garden with my granddaughter gotta scout troop in April!!! THX for the tips and ideas!!!
Loved this - feeling very inspired to grow! I started my first herb the other day - Mint (as it's the easiest!) moving on to salads next!
Aislinn Lynch you will love it. get a salad container, a pack of dollar tree lettuce seeds, an inch of soil and plant the seeds and water/soak, cover with a dark clean towel. your lettuce will sprout in a few days. keep moist. then put in sunny window. you have just grown part of your salad.
Be careful with mint!!! It will take over 😲if it's not in a pot. Like a WEED. Congrats on your new gardening adventure! Wish you were local, I would hook you up with garlic, turmeric etc...
Incredible human being! You must be feeling great with all the earthing you are doing.
Thank you Rob! Inspiring and practical :D The only thing I would add is to be careful with the buckets, try to understand what they have been used before as they may have toxic residues. Grow food not lawns! ;)
I loved all your videos Rob. I want to do Homesteading because of you. Seriously looking for an acre of land to purchase.
It's a car bed for a child sans mattress. My son had one exactly like it!😊 Also, rainwater running down roofing tiles may contain some chemical contaminants.

You have definitely found your purpose. Your name even says so! I love your passion!
You are a real 100 percent pure human.
I just thought of something and I"m sure I"m not the first to think of it but instead of plastic bags, it may be more sustainable to use plastic containers, or any container, but like you said in another video, the glass jars don't handle the space as efficiently in confined space like a freezer, which is true, yes.

Great info. Amazing job. Thanks for all your great videos
You are beast mate, humankind needs more people like you!
Lots of great ideas! One can even build off of or change these ideas. They are great starter ideas for sure. Thank you for sharing them.
This is really helpful! I got a lot of seeds from the food bank and I have been putting them in used plastic cups, containers I made from scrap cardboard, and some pots my mom had in her garden. I took some of her compost and mixed it with some leftover soil she had from a hanging plant, and now I have a bunch of seeds planted and possibly growing!
Rob is such an inspiration! I hope more and more people learn from him.
I SO resonate with you! Already doing this in my own yard, hoping to start a Community garden in an empty lot.
You're compost veggies are great places to get seeds as well. Almost all of my plants come from seeds and starts from my veggie scraps.

I am a little bit concerned with the industrial soils you get from construction sites. They are often contaminated with chemicals and/or heavy metals that can be taken up by the plants. Raise beds are a great way to grow your food, if you think your yard might be contaminated.
Agreed. As is the pallet wood.
Shanna Trenholm that's why you get the heat treated pallets rather than chemically treated. They usually have stamps that say which type they are
Hey Steeve,
Yes it's important to check the source and use common sense with all of it. I do think that growing food this way is still way better than buying non organically grown food at the store, which is what most people are doing.
I've added that information to my guide at: robgreenfield.tv/growfood/
And Shanna, most pallets are not treated and are safe to use. Information on that in the link as well.
I think world need a person like you😊😊
this is cool. inspired me to set up my barrel for rain water and loved the makeshift watering can.
You are awesome. I love how you even offer free seeds and upcycle everything. My kind of man!
I love the vertical garden idea! We may have to try that this year
I just want to say thank you for such a great teaching video, I enjoyed it very much, and I also want to say thank you for sharing your seeds with others, how kind of you , I'm sure you put a big smile on our Hevenly Fathers face. Keep up the great work, have a blessed day.😊
You’re amazing. Thanks for your kindness and inspiration.
Great video! I’m glad I came across your channel. I also live in the Atlanta area and it makes me happy to find out your in my area!
I'm very happy for you Rob, Faith without works is dead, we need more givers in this world like you, is why the Lord is blessing you to receive, still close your door's at night when you go to bed, there is no need to be foolish in your giving and surroundings.
Just discovered your channel. Love your positive energy.
You’re an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your ideas and knowledge.
I can't like this video enough.. Thank you! An amazing gesture of generosity.
Here in MI you can get veggie seeds and plants w/ a food card. Also can grow from actual food purchased in the grocery. Onion roots and avocado seeds ECT.
That's awesome!
That's national. The SNAP program allows for seed purchases across the country.
It is a great site which shows free tips on gardening.
"Grow it in someone else's yard. Of course, ask them" 😂😂😂
you are an awesome person Rob!
im so jealous ive been studying all this stuff for years buying books ect but haven't had the guts to actually do it peirpersure is stopping me im kind of waiting till everyone else does it because they have to
Hey Peter! How about you start some tomato plants at least to get started? Grow from there!
And That, Peter.
Is exactly why,
Good folks do nothing !

I have tried also but live w/freddy krugar who has destroyed what i have grown😡 including taking up good free mulch bcz of the city. Nothing wrong w/the mulch it was the old tractors, old cars he collects thr after.🤬...i am attempting again w/ a chop & drop of all the over growth from the back yard.
You are so cool and inspiring! I’ve thought of many of these ideas and have feared looking like a hippie 😬 I couldn’t agree more about grow food instead of lawn.. we have lawn that I think we maintain to please the HOA 🧐
You’re awesome and I’m so happy I ran into your channel!!
I believe it is a researcher with the University of Alberta who determined that food plants grown in soil from a municipal dump do not contain more toxins than produce bought at the grocery store.

Growing food entails hard work but you are 100% sure that it is free from chemicals. I envy those community garden. We do not have any here in our place.
Thank You Generous 💓💓Amazingly Simple!!!
Proud of you Rob ! You are doing an awesome work !!!
Keep it up my brother.....🙏👍

Clare Myers I’m in Georgia too
Thank you for sharing ! Keep up the great work you are doing !
I have gotten dying seedlings from the farmers co-op for free. Most of them thrive after planting, just a later harvest if you have a long enough season
I have dandelions growing all around the edges of my veggie garden’s so they can keep the soil and mulch in the garden and I don’t need edging because they are the edging I also harvest the leaves , roots and flowers .
I dry the dandelion leaves and roots and use them in soups, stews ,salads and sprinkle on eggs etc also use them in teas and so on the list is endless the flowers I use in teas ,dandelion honey , jam/ jelly and make my own moisturiser and soooo much more that dandelions can be used for .
You deserve a Nobel Prize!!!
Rob, you've inspired me to start growing our own food and with awesome results. Thanks for what you do. Stay blessed.
You are doing great work Robin

Bravo, Rob👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
need to learn the markings on the pallets as some can not be use in home use of plant beds
Wow rob you are amazing. Keep up the good work . Enjoy what you do and keep the negative people away...
I live in An apartment complex and building a small little herb garden. There’s a concrete platform next to the apartment building I live in. But, between the platform and the building there’s a gap that is about 2” wide and 2” deep and I’m piling old leaves and grass clippings there to use that compost. I’m also worm composting. I bought 2 worm boxes from Walmart and an critter keeper and I’m hoping the worms are doing their work
