Great ideas! Just a note for some on the slow drip irrigation, I have had baby birds and small animals fall into open containers of water that I left outside and they drowned unable to get out on their own. I felt terrible, so now I always cover any open container of water that might become a trap to an animal.
I posted above you can still use the jug method with the cap on... just loosen it up until the water drips as fast or as slow as you need. This way, you don't need to cut out a hole in the top.
You can make different containers for bird coz they’re out of water in summer’s
Highly unlikely for most.
Leaving the cap on means you can fill it from a rain barrel and carry it upside down with the cap screwed on .
@@joanies6778 if you poke a few holes in the lid you can put the lid on tight so if it falls over your water won't spill out.
Good ideas,I am an old man but the learning never stops. Thanks brother.
I don't cut the spout out, I use smaller pebbles that will fit through the spout. To prevent mosquitos from laying eggs in the water, get some old or cheap panty hose, cut circles out of them and finish he edges with a glue to prevent raveling. Then get a hair tie for ponytails. Place the netting over the spout and wrap the ponytail band around the spout. It works.
Thanks, great idea!!
i use my G string to cover my bottles and blood filled tampons as ground fetilizer
On hot days, I keep 8 jugs by my garden hose, which runs about 150' long. When I have to use the water from the hose during the summer, I fill the jugs first until the water from the hose runs cool enough to water plants or clean the birdbath. Later, after the water in the jugs cools down in the shade, I use those to water my plants where the hose won't reach. No waste.
Using the jugs to provide a slow drip, I found I didn't have to cut the top off. Simply by loosening the cap, I can regulate how fast or how slow the water drips through.
The clear jug used for hydroponics will form algae due to sun getting through. You can spray paint the outside to prevent algae.
When using the milk jug as a greenhouse, try gluing a piece of string to the lid and tie the other end around the handle or neck so it doesn't blow away or get lost. Don't forget to push the mulch up around the base so cold air doesn't get through. 🤗
These are great tips. Do you happen to have a TH-cam channel? If not, maybe you should😊Thanks for the tips!
warm water is best fa plants, not de cold stuff -- you could be fined by the Plant Protection Squad or Stop Cruelty To Roots Force
Great tips!! Thank you!
You can use a soldering iron to make a hole in plastic as well.
Great information!! Ty!!
I use gallon jugs for winter sowing plants. They become mini green houses while sitting outside in the snow and will sprout when ready. It's fantastic!!
Drip perfect for vacation planning. Thanks!
whoa, learned something new, didn't know it was that simple to grow mushrooms, when i have more downtime in the summer, i'm doing this.👍
My family "" old school" farming,so I thought they taught me much YOU are teaching many new ways,
Thank you for always excellent presentation and always putting temperature in Fahrenheit ( 😁).Blessings
Cool . Time for mushroom growing . I did not know that it was that easy to grow mushrooms in a jug to which I am always recycling them some way or other .
Here is the complete video on growing mushrooms th-cam.com/video/xlVsW_oabG0/w-d-xo.html
With the higher temps of 110+; adding a jug with two holes on each side will help provide more water during the long - high temp hours so plant gets minimal to no shock. In PacNW, our afternoons from noon to 8 pm are very hot and this helps even with regular watering.
I drill a hole in the caps of glass bottles (mostly wine bottle gathered from friends) & upend them beside a plant instead since they are sturdier, as well as hold up better in the wind when they are almost empty. Milk jugs get returned for a 25 cents deposit.
Thanks for these great tips! I was just getting ready to throw away a bunch as I had saved them to store water in but I had no more room to store extra water. These are great uses!
you can urinate into milk bottles kept in ya bathroom and store and make the best plant food
Great ideas! I save my jugs for winter sowing, but these additional ways to use jugs (water juice, milk, etc) is awesome!
Jag, you are so knowledgeable in gardening!! I wish I had this knowledge. ❤
Wow....thanks...some great ideas...I just came upon VEVOR a few months ago & am going to get the 10 x 19 x 8ft high chicken pen for $289...great price & their same size green house for $159...can't beat those prices IMO...I can move the chicken coop around the yard so that they have more free range & can put in nesting boxes as well so that the hens will have a place to lay their eggs, be protected from the elements & varmints...
That's awesome. I will try it this weekend.
Wow Jag! What great idea's. Thank you so much.
Love it, Jag! Thank you!
Thank you for these helpful ideas!😊
Thanks! I had tried the irrigation method withou much success. I will nowtry it again.
Thank you so much. These tips are very helpful.

Got like 50 of these laying around. My gf thinks I’m crazy for it 😂 free pots!
Me too ,I hauled them home from my job ,my boss used humidifier all winter that why they had so many empty gallon jug threw away ,
Awesome thanks
Thank you
Fun fact rinse out empty gallon of water then fill it up with tap water freeze 🥶 it ? Next time you go out to any outdoors event need ice for ice chest you have ice ! I hope this was helpful? My father always did this we never had to buy ice ! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
I use this to put the frozen milk jug out for chickens when it is too hot so they can have cold water and put their feet in cold water too!
Super informative; and ❤.
Good ideas on the milk jugs. Now please can you use milk jugs to catch slugs & snails (& puppy dog's tails). The sods are devouring & spoiling almost everything I grow. I bet others have this problem also & would benefit from your advice. Thank you.
good// one way save mother earth
Lucky you! Not much wind there
Thank you sir ...can you show us how to grow citrus tree from seed mine always die we have a very hot hot dry weather and i grow them on pots only
Hope this helps, I am having good luck with lemon seeds right now. They're in a spot that gets sun almost all day. I water them very thoroughly every morning since I found out they like a lot of water. In this hot sun they dry out by the end of the day. Even so they are in pots that drain well so hopefully they don't get root rot. In maybe a year (or more) I will plant them in the yard, when they are sturdy enough to survive animals.
Citrus is best gotten by grafting.
I had that green house. Some complaints. Make sure you put something heavy to hold it down. I found mine blown about 10 feet and broken one March afternoon. The material doesn't hold up to the sun. Zippers will brake in 2 months or less.
This is your best video ever 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you, glad you liked the video!
I am planning to idea #2 : jugs for hydroponic.collected many jugs. My question is what nutrient pellets did you use for the veggies ( leafy/ peppers etc). Thanks
I like these ideaa
Great information 👍🤣
I use a jug like this (from water, not milk) to water my plants instead of a watering can :) great video!
I do that too!! I just use an old ice pick to poke holes in the top.
How to use compost tea? And how often? Thank you.
Cool! Do you dilute the compost tea any b4 giving to plants?
i cut three sides so it is hinged just doing some rose cuttings at the moment and reusable
New subscriber ❤❤❤
Any ideas for repurposing the milk jugs after using them for growing mushrooms?
It is great widely!
What is name tomatoes and mushrooms
Thank you!
Hello, to grow mushrooms in Mexico KK jugs what other medium could I use besides coffee grounds?
You can cut the milk jug like a scoop using the handle to scoop up soil/fertilizer out of a bag, if you buy your fertilizer.
You need a thicker milk bottle to handle the weight.
You can use it also to add a little water to potted plants or make a, self-watering by using a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. Cut the inner circle ⭕ out and put some rocks in the bottom for drainage and then add the circle 🔴 making a hole , get PVC pipe and cut the hole the size of the PVC pipe ( 2-3") insert the pipe then cut it about 10-12 inches above your 5 gallon bucket. Poke a hole in the side of the bucket about 5" from the bottom in case there is too much water, the excess will drain out. Fill the bucket with water just below circle 🔴 at the bottom. Add your soil to your veggie plant and mist the top. If growing something like tomato plants, add a wire or trellis to hold it up.
If you want you can snap the outside ring you cut, back on the bucket for a smooth edge. ⭕
Yes, I use 1/2 gallon milk jugs for a chicken feed scoop. I cut the bottom 1/3 off, keep the lid on and now I have a scoop with a handle.
You could plant the milk jugs around your bed and put more holes then you have drip irrigation for all of your plants.
Hiw can u stire veggies for winter. I don't have a. Root cellar. I want to store onion garlic potatoes apples kale carrot pumpkin and squash Do you have a video?
nice!
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! I love that you go into just the right amount of detail and show each step! BUT you forgot to tell us two things, ( i dont know my mushrooms ) what type of mushroom is that and this is the big one, well this method of using coffee grounds, which I assume are coffee grounds that have been used work on ALL MUSHROOMS OR JUST SOME ? God Bless from Vegas, NV!
Thanks for the kind words, here is the complete video on growing mushrooms in milk jugs th-cam.com/video/xlVsW_oabG0/w-d-xo.html
Where can I find the things for the mushrooms.
This is fabulous information. The only questions I have are 1. Were the coffee grounds used or fresh. I think they would be used but not sure. 2. When you have made your compost tea concentrate, then what? Do you dilute it before using on your plants?
Here are full videos on Mushroom and Compost Tea th-cam.com/video/xlVsW_oabG0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ogx7PSNHV3k/w-d-xo.html
Can you make a video on growing mushrooms please?
Here it is th-cam.com/video/xlVsW_oabG0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Mr Jack
How many days does one gallon last watering the plants?
neat!
I don't know of any country besides the UD that sells milk in the gigantic plastic bottles.
US does
What do you think of the “Tiny Green Monster “ gardening methods.
How can I start to set up an irrigation system for My raised bed garden
Here is a video on this: th-cam.com/video/XxH0Lj3NCTY/w-d-xo.html
PRETTY COOL 😎👍🏽 THANKS FOR SHARING!!!🤓🙋🏽♀️🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥
I have read that comfy is poison internally. ?
👍👍5 thumbs up!👍👍👍
What is the fertilizer that you are using for hydroponics
I use pelleted chicken manure fertilizer and i soak it is water, filter and use it, you can use any organic hydroponic fertilizer or you can use these by soaking and mixing in water: Burpee 4-4-4 Fertilizer amzn.to/3sfu2qV and Dr Earth 4-6-3 Fertilizer amzn.to/47BB0VK
Are the coffee grounds for the mushrooms used or fresh? Does it make a difference if you're adding hot water anyway, and is the water just hot or did you actually boil it to kill bacteria first?
Used coffee grounds, water has to be near boiling hot that sterilizes the coffee grounds
What kind of Oganic Firtilizer you use ?
I use organic chicken manure fertilizer, it has the NPK ratio of 442
where did you buy the mushroom starters?
The link is under mushroom section on my website here www.daisycreekfarms.com/affiliate-store
I don’t know where you are from but in Canada we recycle them. We don’t just throw them away
I wonder if people think about micro plastics or grow things that aren't GMO
You grew the mushrooms with just the spawn inside the coffee grounds?
It take SO many coffee grounds to fill a gallon. Can i do this with a quart or half gallon instead?
You can but you can get coffee grounds from starbucks or local coffee shop
Are you using fresh coffee grounds, or used? I really would like try the mushrooms!
Used coffee grounds
Thank you! I watched your other video where you got grounds from a coffee shop, so I figured that was the case💖
Double use, couldn't afford to use fresh coffee with the price nowadays
