THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THIS CHANNEL!! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
the greatest thing you are planting, is your love for your grandfather. You are sowing the best of yourself into the life of another person. you will never regret it. may God richly bless you and multiply your reward now and forever.
Thank you! :)
I cant believe how much better these home made garden tools are than expensive ones from the store! You have definitely inspired me to try these out! Thank you so much and keep doing what you’re doing!!!
My 9 year old daughter really can not wait to put these ideas into use in our own garden Thank You
New subscriber from the states. Love to see this. My late uncle used to protect their rose bushes with jugs such as this. My aunt and uncle had the prettiest grass, roses and just a gorgeous countryside. Miss them, those happy summer days and their knowledge and in my life. Im a grandmother and love gardening. God bless you and thank you. Ive enjoyed watching your videos. Your birds sound happy.
As my mother says every time I tell her some ideas from your videos or other inspired people's videos, there should be a Nobel prize for such practical and ingenuous people. I totally agree. Thank you for sharing!
Your Mother is a wise Lady ;) You're welcome!
Agreed!
Sorry but Obama totally devalued the Nobel Prize .....
Just found your channel today. Three vids in and I'm hooked. I love that you reuse and repurpose things. My father grew up in Co Cavan during ration times. He was a big believer in finding a second or even third use for an item. Not a fan of our throw away ways. Repairing and reusing was a way of life I grew up seeing.. Your doing a great job and giving loads of information while your at it. Gardening and the love of it made accessible :)
Thank you so much for the idea, I made the trowel out of milk bottle for my recycling competition at school and I got a prize
Have no Idea why anyone would give a thumbs down. Brilliant ideas and no waffle. Gets right to the point. I like him and his videos very much.
A man after my heart. I love finding ways to reuse plastic as it’s so nasty for the environment. When I finish any container, I wash out put and sit looking at it to dream up ways to make it useful again. People really need to do this as it saves money and keeps stuff out of landfills. Thanks for this post. Be well.
Hello from Australia. Just found your channel, love it. 67 year old learning to garden.
Glad you found me! Never too old to learn new great skills :)
Project Diaries I live in Melbourne Australia & have also just discovered your channel. I’m 67 too & a beginner at growing my own herbs & vegetables & I find it very relaxing. I’m not very successful yet but I’m going to keep trying. I enjoy watching your channel very much. Thank you. Cheers 😊
Susanne Alexander Have You Checked what type of soil You have, that should Help a lot. Get a Soil Testing Kit.
If I had land of my own, would get into growing herbs + vegetables. Am 65 In June.
Firstly good lad for looking after your granddad, as a granddad that sounds as it should be. Thanks for the idea for making stuff from milk containers. And thanks for all your videos, very interesting, can't wait to get going.
You're welcome Mike :)
You are a star 🌟 Please keep smiling and what you are doing for your granddad is 👏🏾 awesome:) god bless you xxx
These ideas are so good that I've been passing them around the other gardeners at my allotment. The general consensus is "why didn't I think of that?". Great work.
That's great! I hope they all enjoy the ideas to :)
Brilliant!
Cheers :)
Great idea! Another neat hack I use is I collect plastic spoons from our Texas ranch parties and I write on the spoon the contents of the pot.
That's great! They are also good to put the heads into soil to stop Squirrels, cats and other animals digging at your seedling :)
Me drinking tea all the time actually helped me 😊thanks!
Amazing, i will never be able to look at a bottle of milk the same again :D keep up the good work ;)
haha! Thanks :)
Nice
great ideas. thx. simple n easy
How fortunate is your folks,especially your grandad
I love your ideas for milk jug hacks. I was able to adapt a few of them for US milk jugs, which have the handles on a corner rather than the flat side of the jug.
Great ideas. Love that it's practical and also helps the environment by reusing instead of disposing.
I don't drink cow's milk, but my parents drink it, so I can reuse those milk jugs for gardening. Thank you for these tips & tricks.
You're welcome
Oh my goodness! I'll be driving my family even more crazy now! I can't look at anything without thinking, "How can I reuse that atleast one more time? ". These are some great repurpose ideas. Thank you for the video!
Some really good ideas for people to use empty plastic milk bottles.
Oh, these ideas are going to keep my grandsons happy for a good while, thanks!
Les
great ideas, love your videos
Thank you! :)
You are amazing, my hubby is sitting watching this bog eyed I m so happy you are making him happy XXXX Chel & and Jeff
These are pure genius! The trowel vs. soil scoop is very impressive.
Awesome Tips... Was even more interesting to see that Lovely Smile.. this turned up in my recommendations today on TH-cam and is so pleasant watch in these dark times of Lockdown. Thank You So Much for this one..
You are such a clever lad! Thank you for making all of your fabulous videos! And God Bless you for taking care of your granddad.You're a gem! Too bad my daughter doesn't live in the UK anymore.
Aw thank you! I'm glad you like my channel. Not sure how to reply to the daughter comment :) I hope she's happy where ever she moved to.
She moved back to Southern California where we are from. But relocating soon to Texas. She attended Vet school at the University of Glasgow. She loved living there but missed the sun. Thanks again.
@@ProjectDiaries why not burn holes in bottle tops?
Ian Womack Think it Releases Toxic Fumes. Watch the video again! I'll probably do that Also.
You are brilliant. Thank you for encouraging us all to help save the planet.
Thank you so much for the video and all the hacks, I am 70 and just starting out being a gardener, and using these hacks will save me a lot of money as I am on disability. ;) ty
You're very welcome :)
It’s near the end of April 2020 (Covid19 pandemic) and this came up in my recommended feed... your beautiful smile made my day, because it seemed to be sparked from a beautiful heart. Thanks for the great ideas! I pray you are doing well in the three years since you made this video 💐💐💐
SistahRev thanks for sharing your warm feeling! Peace be with you.
Rachel MacDonald Peace to you as well! 🌺
Absolutely brilliant ideas! I'll be making these for my garden tfs!!!
You are brilliant, I can't stop watching, better than telly,
You must drink a lot of milk.
Bravo, the recycling is mesmerising.
So many these days think they have to have special stuff for gardening ... I like what you are doing ... simple, green and free ... the plant doesn't know the difference between a plant pot and a yogurt pot :)
Such a win! love the big scoop. I've just started gardening because I have time now (lock down) and your videos are the most helpful. Really practical and cost effective. I want to plant everything now haha :) :)
one of the best presenters ive seen , ive been using these ideas,for many years makes a realy good poopa scoopa, chook food scoop, you can pay a fortune for a made in china scoop.
Great ideas Thank You... It's nice to show people how your rubbish can be made useful... Keep your vedios coming take care.
My 2 yr old s already into gardening looking at ur videos 😍
That's awesome :)
Forgot to say I love the premise of your channel. Reduce, reuse & recycle; the 3 R's. It doesn't occur to a lot of people that the plastic gardening paraphernalia that they spend time & good money to acquire from stockists is more than likely sitting around in their kitchens and or recycling bins. It's often made of the same type of plastic... which they've already paid for when they did their grocery shopping.
This is very helpful because I have no need to go out & buy tools. I like this a lot.
I'm glad. I like House :)
Great stuff. Nothing going to waste. Look forward to your videos
Thanks :)
What's blessing you are for your Grandfather! I'm glad I found you! I will be donating.
Thank you for your donation :)
You are such breath of fresh air, you're grandfather is so lucky to have you :)
I've always been into recycle, reuse, your video is very apt with what's happening today with plastics , Hat off Brilliant!
So glad it's becoming so commercial now. I've been telling people for years and I'm glad it's finally getting through to the mainstream :)
thanks for the great ideas! i was going to buy a scoop today, but will make one instead.
Great information I'm going to use when I build a garden. Thanks again for sharing.
No worries! Good luck :)
I look after a lovely elderly man and he gets these cartons, they’ll be coming home with me now, I’m so excited to try these projects thank you
Omg you saved me with the plant label tip, I was about to buy some on amazon for $6 lol
one of those things you think you will have too many of but actually you can never get enough
Mate- you're a genius! I too used to watch Tony Hart and Blue Peter and it's great to see you sharing your ideas with others. Well done on a really informative series of vids. Happy gardening.
Magic
I will also use as a scoop to bail out my dinghy
Steve Garrod ditto I am late to the party, but art attack, tony hart were fricking amazing and so you are brother, loving your videos and that smile, defo making the tools from milk bottles that’s why I stumbled on your channel. In these unprecedented times gardening (and be it being very sunny is a plus )I am trying to grow stuff.
your channel is such a gem, thank you for all your work
☺☺☺
I loved this video! My son has a recycle project due his Monday and we definitely be using old bottles to make garden tools. I also grew up on Tony Hart: he inspired my artistic side. The show I watched and loved most was “Take Hart” thanks for your easy handy guide.
You're very welcome. I hope your Son does will for his project. Nice to meet a fellow Tony Hart fan :)
Well this really came in handy haha. Have been making a list of things need to buy for my little gardening activities but this just made me save so much.
Thanks for the vid!
Glad I could help :)
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring, I don't have a lot of money so I'll be using your ideas to do creative things with my three boys, thank you so much for sharing your ideas x
You're very welcome :)
Well done you .. just found your helpful videos and you don't "preach" like some older gardeners on TV .. goid luck .. you might end up there!
Well you just taught an old man some new tricks. Great ideas to recycle. Thank you
good ideas
Thanks!
Thank you for making it so easy for me in start my garden. Your ideas are amazing.!
You're welcome. I'd love to see what your growing. Would you like to share some photos on my gardening group? facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ/
Brilliant ideas. Better than just throwing them away. Thank you.
Thanks! You're welcome :)
Love the blackbird singing in the background . Nice easy going video.
Great recycling ideas. I loved Blue Peter & Vision On for craft projects but my mother wouldn't let us keep any boxes, yoghurt pots or packaging etc for long enough to finish building anything, they all got thrown in the bin - we were such deprived kids lol.
haha! My Mum used to do that too :)
Joanne Carroll my husband also. We always fight n he throw everything in rubbish.
Very cool! I seen my mom recycle jugs for years and I've never seen these ideas! Simply brilliant.
I'm glad you like them :)
Love it! I've been making the label strips like that for years. The scoop and trowel are genius.
very intelligent use of bottles. creative and great videos. thumbs up.
Thank you! :)
I love your ideas. I really like the scoop you made out of the handle and how you also used it as a funnel. I love your channel
Thank you! :D
Also, I just joined your Facebook group!
Great!
awesome ideas! i cant wait to try them :)
Thanks!
I'm not a gardener, But You Inspire me to Grow things! I noticed Your yoghurt pots, for the seedlings. Lovely, Cheerful Personality, is Your Grandfather still alive, If So, He Is Very Blessed By You. I Know nothing about Gardening, But I Always thought about Growing Herbs Indoors, I Will Check out Your Other Videos, Love the Graphics By the way! Take Care.
This is Christine replying. Wow! A wonderful video. Your voice is sooo beautiful and very clear. Thanks for the wonderful tips. Have a great day and enjoy life. 👍👏👏
Love, love, love. Now stand the bottle upright cut between the handle top and the lid, a quarter of the way strait down on each side, then to the front of the bottle. This is a scoop! I use this to water my pots in the front yard from the rain barrel. Only I use the gallon jugs. I use the the one solid w/holes in the lid to water seedlings and lettuce. Lettuce loves to cool off. Also if you take your jugs, cut off the bottom and bury the (without the lid) upside down- plant them and it conserves water directly to the plant. While still allowing roots out if need be. You could make that hole bigger too. Hanging pots...etc. I love clever ideas like this. Good job!
Great stuff. I've picked up to two more use from your videos 😊👍. We are also big milk users and hence plenty. Nothing goes to waste. Never bought plant labels. I use dish washing steel wool or scourge to rub away markers but now I have so many labels I don't need to. Another use you can add is using the bottle as a cloche. I cut off the seedling tray part and make a hole in the cap for ventilation and prop it on newly planted seedling in the garden and end of winter. Also used it to make a template for sowing seed.cut out flat pieces to fit your tray and make holes and sow seeds. No thinning required and better when time to transplant. Love your work. Great video.
Thanks! I'm a big fan of not wasting seeds by thinning :)
Three years later and this video is still spot on and helping people. Two years ago you had 50k subs, now look!!! Great job!!
A very informative video. Who would think that a plastic jug could have so many uses! I wish I saw this video earlier . Now I’m saving my plastic containers !
Great video Lee, lots of good tips for bottle use here :)
Thanks man! :)
Great stuff.! Plant markers , why didn't I think of that, save a fortune :D Thanks
haha! Well know you can :)
This is brilliant - I’m a novice gardener and these tips have given me inspiration thank you so much 😊
I’m so happy to have happened upon your channel.
It’s so informative and about things that are ‘doable’ and practical.
Awesome! 😊 love this!!!
I was thinking about making a hanging herb garden out of them by cutting off the bottom, nailing them to a board by the handle, and poking holes in the cap as drainage.
Also, I use hand sanitizer to wipe my markings off of the labels. Wipes right off with a paper towel after a few wipes.
Have a Blessed day my friend! Thank you for this brilliant idea! 👍👍👍
Some great ideas there. Let me know how your Herb garden gets on :)
Just found this channel and your comment. Did you make the herb planter and if so, how did it work for you?
i absolutely love these ideas!
Cheers :)
I try this. The DIY scoop works better than the one that I bought from store. And now I use the left over yogurt, milk, water containers as pot. Thank you for the ideas. Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Great ideas. Very usable in a school situation to encourage recycling.
great ideas! I'm very happy I found your channel. Thank you for all the wonderful, inexpensive ideas.
I'm glad you found it to. You're welcome :)
April Perez
totally agree
Thanks
You're welcome :)
Your a credit to your generation, great ideas and caring for your grandad as well. Good work, keep it up.
As well as your brilliant info, I especially love listening to the birds in your garden!
really enjoyed this video!! great ideas with very clear instructions!! Bravo! I'm a fan had to subscribe!!
Great! Thank you! :)
I really liked your videos it's very helpful ✨ keep doing what you love .
Thanks! I will :)
Fantastic ideas. I’m definitely going to use them. I love reusing items. I also love how you take care of your granddad.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed for my salt bucket. It's cold and icy in Detroit!!!
The homemade trowel having a funnel feature is genius!
I love your ideas! I was just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I get very dizzy but gardening is the top of the list over playing my mandolin, sewing and any other hobbies I have. I get something so beautiful out of just little effort and for the most part, there's no danger in getting hurt, especially with the homemade items you just showed me how to make. I can't work anymore so if I can get disability, I will spread my garden out a lot bigger and can hopefully have a greenhouse and grow all year long. It sure does come in handy when you don't have money for groceries. Thank you so much, you have made me happy today!One other thing...How do you find out what milk containers are made of?
I'm so glad I made you happy! MS is an awful thing to have and I really hope you can manage it in the best way you can. Good luck with your Disability and dreams for your garden :)
Great ideas. I have rifled through my bin to get more plastic bottles out so I can show a group of Syrian Asylum Seekers who on a miniscule budget, are keen to grow a few vegetables. Making these tools too will be helping their recycling habits .Such great ideas-thankyou so much.Brilliant!
Funnel idea is wonderful! So useful
Glad you like it :)
Love the Blackbird singing in the dead of night...............
Thanks 🙏 was great 👍
You're welcome :)
Super
Thanks :)
I browsed for How to Compost Eggshells and found your video, later on I found myself watching more of your gardening videos. Thank you for the great tips shared. Keep on inspiring.
What great ideas! I’m gonna make some for certain, as we go through stacks of milk. Reduce, reuse and recycle ♻️❤️
Brilliant video! We love our tea in Ireland so like yourself I always have milk bottles handy.
I loved those shows too :D Keep up the great videos, they've really helped me start growing plants :)
That's great! Would you like to share what you're growing on my Gardening group? facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ/
