    I up cycled my co workers mineral tubs he has for his cattle, he gave me the pic of all the ones piled up behind his barn, I got 50! I now have 28 tomato plants and growing 10 bush green beans in each under my tomato plants and I have 20 bell peppers I ordered more bush green beans to plant under those also, have cauliflower and broccoli growing and will be harvesting my larger onions this weekend, I over winter my onions and made a huge difference in the size of my onions. Same with garlic. Once I harvest and get them laid out to cure I will be putting in my squash and zucchini. I grow Swiss chard as it doesn’t bolt in my texas heat but grows 10 months out of the year and my hens love it right along with myself. Sweet potato slips going in this weekend😊 the Lord is good always

      @m.wheeler2976 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      what a great idea to plant under the tomatoes, especially since the beans are a nitrogen fixing plant and the tomatoes are a nitrogen using plant. How big are these mineral tubs if you don't mind telling?

    Very cool garden. I used to go to food giveaways and ask them if I could have the old produce,especially the ones that have seeds in them. The rest I brought home and threw them in my mulch pile.I had a crazy amount of free seeds and rich black mulch from all the produce waste. I turned ugly dressers on the side of the road into planters. Didn't matter if it was kinda busted.I just turned the ugly dressers on their backs and filled the pockets with good dirt and mulch. You can even hang old boots from a clothesline and fill with mulch and plant plants. Hope this helps the poor who have little of anything. Remember if you even ask for a glass of water at a restaurant, you ask for lemon and there is your seeds once again. ❤

    I've also seen people use those coco liners as a mini mulch ring for small shrubs or trees to keep weeds down and keep away from overmulching the stems. The dollar store ones only run a couple bucks for two of them instead of the ones marketed on Amazon to be mulch rings.

    I did a strange thing a few years ago and it has worked well. My mother in law had lived with us for a while before her dementia got worse. When she had to move to a nursing home I discovered some adult diapers left behind. I took them, ripped them apart partially and placed them below root level in my planters. They helped maintain moisture better than any commercial product. They also last a couple of years and continue working. Since then I have bought a package of cheap “diapers “ and they especially work well in hanging planters.

    What are the main reasons your birds go after your vegetables is because they just want the water in them. If you put a birdbath in the middle of your garden, the birds will stay away from your plants. While your birds are drinking the water, they’ll see the insects in your garden and they’ll eat them.

    I live in the woods in the Sierras and I love your ideas and your garden. The dollar store has been a great friend to this ol retired teacher, for plastic pots and bins...they have survived heat and snow some for years...truly a bargain. Your property is so pretty. I have to garden behind fences for the most part, because of the deer and critters, so I love all your ideas for vertical planting on the fence and fence posts!

      As someone who also gardens with Sierra deer, just a thought on growing up fences: if the spaces in the wire are big enough for deer to get their noses through, they will happily eat what's available once the wild green stuff dies down. You can put old shade cloth (probably can scavenge from a neighbor) on the front, or, once a crocheted a net to put in front out of mason twine, lasted about 10 years. And old volleyball net could do it, too-- it's an opportunity for creativity! And to feed the deer, you can toss some weeds outside the fence.

I’m not talented so I appreciate people like you who have visions for being able to see things in ways that are not the intended use. The file cabinets were amazing!!

    5:00 I ran out of planters one year and planted strawberries in Amazon boxes. Just put the soil into the boxes and they lasted all through the season and actually were still sitting there ready to be used the next year. I could have made it more like a strawberry planter if I had cut holes around the boxes. I used to think everything had to be just so and had to have all the right tools and containers, but it is easy to become resourceful!

    Have the tiered pots blown off in the wind? You could drill a rod of rebar into the top, center of the posts and then drill a hole through the center of each of the tiered pots and slide the pots onto the rebar and that should hold it. You can probably find a nice bird finial for the top of the rebar to really hold them in place and it would look so pretty.
    Awesome video! Thank you for the ideas! 🙏🏻♥️

And there are so many different things to learn. But when you start to see your garden growing all of it just kind of dissipates and your heart is just filled with so much joy!

      Yes!!!! One time, one of my sunflowers was leaning over and I didn't have any stakes or twine or zip ties. I ended up using part of a dead tree branch and some bread ties from the kitchen junk drawer to tie it to the branch, which I had stuck in the soil near it. I hoard those bread ties, and was happy to actually find a use for them 😂

      @amandasshadow9605 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      ​@ourfreedomsong Yes! Marigolds are awesome! I planted one with my tomato plant and so far it's remained pest free. I'd rather use Marigolds than Neem oil any day! Plus, Neem can harm the endocrine systems of pollinators and kill the beneficial predatory insects that eat things like aphids.

    • @amandasshadow9605
      @amandasshadow9605 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      ​@@ourfreedomsongSorry for multiple comments. About companion plants- strong smelling herbs like Rosemary and Basil are great for deterring pests while still attracting predatory insects. You just gotta make sure that your chosen companion plant can vibe with your other plant.
      For example, Rosemary and Basil shouldn't be planted together because they have different moisture and sun requirements. Rosemary loves lots of sun and dryer soil, while Basil is a drama queen...haha! It prefers indirect bright light during morning and evening hours and moist, but not soggy, soil.
      Marigolds are similar to Rosemary or tomatoes because they like the same kind of soil, water and sun. I apologize to everyone who hates the word moist. It's the only word that makes sense here 😂

    • @taliasya2273
      @taliasya2273 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I did my strawberries in the way you did in the basket… only I filled two baskets with the cocoa coir and dirt then….. I put they two together with zip ties to form a globe and voila a strawberry globe. It’s a winner . You should totally try it. However you need to water them more often than you might think.

      Just a hint for you....if you line the bottom half with the plastic from a compost bag inside the coir liner and cut through both to plant through it can help with water retention (and you can make use of the plastic compost bags too). You can use the same idea for anything that is porous to help with water retention as long as you remember to poke in some drainage holes.🙂
