I think that unboxing video made me sub to Eli&Kate; it was adorable how excited and happy Eli was! So thanks to all of you for the entertainment and gardening wisdom you have shared since then.
awwww I hadn't realised that :D
That was such a “feel good” video. Gardeners are usually kind hearted, good sharing people and Gardener Scott is the ultimate kind hearted gardener.
I made a pepper tower this year, filling 26 of 30 pockets with 5 varieties, Hungarian Yellow Wax, Corona di Toro, Jimmy Nardello, Leysa, and Lipstick. The remaining four pockets were planted with dwarf zinnias. The productivity in the GreenStalk was better than the peppers planted in a raised bed. Some of the plants have grown tall, nearly five feet tall. Support for the plants is necessary, so I am using 3 ft bamboo plant stakes, and jute. My biggest problem is I need to use a step ladder to harvest from the top tier. I have already purchased a second tower for next year's Twin Towers of Pepper. My third GreenStalk is planted with Seascape Strawberries. My garden includes 8 raised beds, a 10x12 foot polytunnel greenhouse, 34 grow bags, an 8 ft long cattle panel tunnel, and a half dozen assorted pots for herbs-I can't let my mint take over my yard.
This is so funny, I saw one on their channel and bought one too! I'm in England!!
Such a great collaboration between you and Eli and Kate. A Great system to use too loads of possibilities. Great video Scott
putting a padlock on my greenstalk just in case you have any nefarious plans of stealing it 😜
It is so very generous of you to send Eli and Kate such a fabulous gift of a GreenStalk! I love the collaborations you do with Eli. Yes the first year is a challenge. Here where I live our irrigation water is on a separate system and it will be shut off on October 4th. So watering after that will involve lots of feet of garden hose.
Still loving it and my little pak choi seedlings are happy 🎉
So timely. My green stalk arrived yesterday.
Exciting… so come on then, share all your fabulous plans???
Not sure Eli was a Greenstalk pioneer in Europe last year. There's a company in Sweden officially representing and distributing Greenstalk in Europe and I believe they've been in business last year already. I ordered mine this year April to Poland and they were already able to tell me exactly how long the shipment wil be underway. But I love her experience and would love to hear more!
I could listen to that accent forever
🥰🥰🥰
What a wonderful thing you've done. Watching Eli's joy just makes me happy. I recently received my first GreenStalk. Now I'm waiting on my strawberry plugs. :)
I love Eli and Kate❤
Awwwwwwww and we love you 🥰
I know I said this when you originally gave it to them but it’s worth mentioning again, what an amazing gift you gave to such a deserving couple that would truly do it justice. You three are my favorite collaboration team, it’s always a pleasure watching your guys’ videos. Great update, thanks!
Awwwwwwwwwwwww and we love that you love them
Pro tip - rotating the green stalks is typically a main attribute to growing in them. With the auto watering system, all the hose clips placed on one side of the planter isn’t needed to keep the vertical water line in place, so use one every other pot (or tier) and take the others and put them on the opposite side of the planter (or buy extra clips and place them on opposite sides of each other on the planter). When time to rotate the planter, simply remove the vertical hose from the clips, spin planter around to other side, clip water line back in on the opposite side. Bam, back in business.
What a fun video, Eki explained her experience well. Let me know if you need the first person in Tokyo. 🗾
I purchased a “Leaf” and 2 originals. In the leaf I filled it with strawberries m. The originals I grew one with onions (full size, nice sized onions) and the other with herbs and lettuce. Great harvest! So glad I bought them.
Yeah, once you have 1, you want more. I ordered my first one about a month ago. My 4th one will be here tomorrow. I have only planted one, but I saw enough reviews online from gardeners I trusted, I wasn't going to wait until next year to get more. Thanks for reviewing the Greenstalk planters. I LOVE them
I have my green stalk full of strawberries. I love it. It keeps the berrys off the dirt
She makes a good point. I’ve (in the us) have seen videos of em but never have used em & theirfor never thought of what I’d grow in one. Bunching onions aka green onions is such an obvious choice!
Another great video Scott.
the green onion were the thing I forgot to mention even though they were right there, staring me in the face :D
Enjoyed watching this
I have 4 active Green Stalks, one with only ever bearing strawberries, one with only my salsa peppers ( my third year growing peppers in this) one with just bush string beans, & last was lettuce in spring & some small herbs, when lettuce bolted & planted more beans
I could listen to Eli talk all day long. What a generous, beautiful thing your gift was! I have loads of space for planter boxes, orchard space, etc that I probably won't spend the extra $$ anytime soon on a Greenstalk, but if I ever did want to do something like plant the little Alpine strawberries or something else so delicate that it might not survive in a box, that would certainly be an option.
I grow in containers and purchased a small vertical tower that has pockets like the green stalk planter. I'm learning to grow in this new planter and enjoy the information received from this video. Thanks for sharing 🤩!
I love my 2 green stalks, they have been great for second rounds of planting here in Northern Michigan. I get more beans and more lettuces.
Beautiful love it
I also used the sticker technique to remember when I'd turned it last, lol. I considered doing 3 stickers for like S, T, Th and just turn it the night before one of those days.
I had a ton of trouble with fungus gnats, but regularly feeding with mosquito bits helped. Amazingly, no real issue with slugs. Watering was troublesome because of the PNW weather because the top was getting more moisture than the mid and bottom tiers. I had to kinda focus in and give those tiers direct watering.
I think the watering will be something I’ll have to learn slowly.
Especially remembering the size of the plants and roots
@@eliandkatei think they would make great planters for herbs and miniature plants. I noticed Renee’s Garden seeds here sell mini vegetables especially lettuce. Yeah, the watering thing could be an issue unless it is under an umbrella as long as it doesn’t block the light. I’ve heard some have problems with tipping over. I think they are perfect for balconies and kitchen herb gardens. Maybe you will have to get a small umbrella for the top😂
I jumped on the greenstalk bandwagon, but have not been thrilled with the results. I am going to move them from full sun to part shade to see if next season is better. I plan to use them for strawberries.
My Greenstalk is arriving Thursday. North East England
I’m wanting to buy one this year
The way she says peppers!!!
😁 but how do you say it? What accent should I imagine you having?
Eli, I definitely have problems with slugs and snails in my greenstalks. and I definitely find them in my tower when I move or disassemble it. I've tried using Sluggo but I'm not sure what else to do.
I don’t have one, but Eli did use copper on bottom. I don’t have slugs, but wonder if a mote or copper platform would work. I read the best beer for traps was Bud light.
Copper tape on the bottom of the stand. Great idea
happy to report no slugs at all anywhere in the greenstalk... fingers crossed that continues
I would love to contribute to a fund to send Eli and Kate another Greenstalk or two!
Thanks for the idea!
Yes I would love to have one. 😢
I love Eli. I have an issue with snails/slugs in my Greenstalk as well. I would love to know what you did to handle those little pests? Thank you.
The very first thing I did was add copper tape to the spinner base. It won't stop them, but it deters them if you use tape with a high percentage of copper and make it as thick as you can.
So far too good.... not had a single slug yet, but I know I have to stay vigilant
@@eliandkateI wonder if a whole square of copper to park it on would do it.
I live in Canada and they have 2 affiliate companies that sell greenStalk gardens. Maybe they have something similar in the UK? Check in to it,You never know!
There is a company that is selling in the UK now, but I don't think it's called a GreenStalk.
@@GardenerScott worth checking out tho as The company that I bought mine from is an actual original GreenStalk seller So u never know! U may get lucky.
Sounds like green stalk needs to sponsor themvans sell 8n the U.K.
I bought 2 GreenStalks last year. Filled them with Mel's mix and nothing but strawberries. The strawberries did great... except they didn't survive the winter. The strawberries in my raised bed did. So how do I keep my strawberries alive through the winter in a Green Stalk?
Moving them into a protected area can help. A warm garage, a basement, an insulated shed. If they freeze and dry out they won't make it through winter.
I've been thinking about buy one from Amazon,sorry Scott, to expensive from G.S .
I would like to grow strawberries in it next year .
Any suggestions?
Great video
Strawberries do best in containers in Zone 7 and above. For colder regions you'll probably need to protect them.
Mr gardener Scott can you please get a price on 5 of theses amazing gift of abundance shipped to Queensland Australia im going to try turn my few acres into the next jungle full of birds and bees a project I would love to share with they thank you sir
You could check with an international shipper to see what they charge for a large box from the US. My guess is it will be a lot.
Gardener Scott is a stone cold PIMP
😂😂😂😂
I'd a greenstalk rip-off at Lowe's. Much smaller. Maybe a gallon in each planter. Good for herbs and smaller plants. But not.... green
Is the 🇬🇧 in Europe? Nvm . No geography or politics
yup the UK is in Europe (the continent not in the EU that's the economic region ) 😍
