I love how you take the time to thoroughly explain and show us how you fill your totes. It has helped so many of us learn how to container garden. I had the best garden ever this past spring, and I am 60 lol. I love your energy also. Send some of it my way lol. Your peppers are beautiful! ❤😊😊❤
Me too, second year garden, thanks to Robbie. I'm 62.
I’m so happy I can help on ways to make gardening fun and cheap, but work great 😊 Thank you so very much, and sending energy your way ❤️ Thank you again
Thank you for not playing music in your videos. Most people play music I don't like, so then I don't watch those videos. I enjoy your talking.
Second that
I would rather offer information, then music, think it works best for you and me, THANKS SO MUCH
You are amazing 😁....on a cloudy day I watch one of your videos and it's not cloudy anymore. 💞
She is a breath of sunshine :)
I grow in totes thanks to you & this harvest year the totes that I put in kitchen scraps & toilet rolls did much better than the totes that I only used blood & bone meal & even 10.10.10. My pumpkins loved the composting totes. I was using the soil out of my totes that was breaking from weather in Ohio over 4 years now & when I got to the bottom of the soil I was shocked to see all the tree branches except one had broken down too...amazing nature and those totes grew the best. Thanks for all the great videos Robbie - you've made a real gardener out of me. I have processed about 50 lbs of tomatoes (freeze dryer), ate greens all summer without buying at the store, my living room is stuffed full of baskets with crookneck squash, Amenian Melons, Green Serpent Melons, Zuccini, and even brown paper bags full of many pounds of partially ripe & green tomatoes that are turning red for me. God has blessed my harvest and you were my mentor. :) Thank you! I am a recouperating heart failure patient with limited strength and energy. ....the totes definitely are the way to go if you are older, handicapped, or just don't have time to do large gardens.
Robbie, we don’t need make up, God made all of us beautiful inside and out. We just have to see it and know that that’s how he feels & sees us, ❤❤❤🫑🫑🍅🫑🌶️🍅
Your excitement explaining the two-system is probably the why & how I learned from you & began doing it. This video was very thorough & I loved it! Thank you!
You have a gift for explaining things. 😀🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Thank you SO much
I really appreciated this video Robbie. I hope to have more productive gardens next season. I love making soil.
I most certainly hope next season will be great for you, as you make some of your soil 😊❤️ Thanks
Planting in the fall. I'm so jealous. That's why I love your videos, we can live vicariously through you 😊
😊 thank you ❤️
"I break all the rules". Love it! 😂
Some rules need breaking to get things done better 😊
I truly enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing
Our pleasure! Thank you
Robbie, when MI is back into planting (7 mo from now) mode, I’m going to try using my old 9:57 blender and blend up some of my mint, if nothing else to pour down the ground squirrel holes in my raised beds. I don’t think it will grow once I make a smoothie out of it. I did my weeds that way this year until they got to big and we’re making seeds. Smells like liquid cow manure that the farmers spread twice a yr. I just add water to Home Depot bucket and pop the lid on for a few days. Plants seem to love being watered with this.
I have a video I just did on blending...will be posted within days, you can check it out. Not sure if that will bother the squirrels, but you can try, Thanks
Your peppers look amaxing! Good luck with your new guys.
Thank you!
I'm always scared to compost weeds. How do you know they won't seed your new soil?
P.S. I recently learned coffee grounds and cardboard compost to excellent soil. And, my hubby is delighting in stopping in to pick up coffee grounds at all the coffee shops when he is out and about. Lol, as he hates picking up the 50 gal. bags of soil I request.
lol my husband hates it too :) They are so heavy!
@@onedazinn998 I'm picturing all these dutiful husbands grudgingly lugging soil. Lol
@@lifeisgood9175 that gave me my first belly laugh of the day! :)
I put the weeds near the bottom on my totes 😊 Great on the coffee grinds! Thanks so much
This Spring I started with 20 Red Wiggler Worms, now I have 3 bins ( I think 18 gallon) similar to yours that are full of worms. Amazing how fast they multiply in home composting bins.
Your red peppers look amazing
Thanks for that comment. I might have to try buying some bait worms to add to my totes. :)
@@onedazinn998 Put one of those compost in place containers on the ground. Maybe scratch it in a bit. I make big holes on the bottom. The worms especially love kitchen scraps. Keep it moist/wet. In a few days, you will have worms in there. Pick up the whole thing and put it in your tote or whatever container you want worms in. Worms move incredibly fast when they want something.
great idea thank you!@@yeevita
Hi Robbie I’ve been watching your videos for about 2wks now and have started putting buckets through out my garden to collect all the cuttings weeds and whatever else. I have a composter that I got for Christmas❤ I’m in love with composting😂. So the more the better. You have been such an encouragement to me and so many. Thank you also I plan on going to get tubs I am currently using bags and working on my first raised bed. Filled it with logs, leaves, my native soil grass , and food scraps. Now I’m looking into containers.❤😅
The one thing I put in the trash and do not compost is puncture vine aka goathead aka Tribulus terrestris.
OK
You could try rotting it and feeding the liquid to your plants. You can always through the rotted matter in the trash then, or bury that once it is rotted.
Thank you Robbie. I absolutely love your gardens. Your pepper plants are so healthy, I’m not allowed to eat hot peppers anymore so I don’t grow them. I didn’t know that I can continue to grow geraniums from one plant hhmmm, I’m gonna do like you from know on, grow more from the same plant. I see that you have tons of earth worms, did you put them in or Mother Nature took over? I have but it’s because I dig them up and throw them in my compost bins.Robbie another ?. I have an avocado plant growing from my compost, should I dig it out and bring inside my house?I really want to grow a small avocado tree in a pot. Any idea.
I found one in my compost bin and I carefully removed and placed it in a pot first and let it establish
Put in the ground around June and it’s close to 5 ft tall now
It’s beautiful
If you zone freezes, you will probably need to keep it in a container and protect it in winter. I am in zone 8b. I have sprouted who knows how many avocado plants and almost all die to the winter cold, even with some protection. Even so-called frost tolerant ones. I keep trying though. I have a few beautiful babies in the yard right now. Trying to decide whether to just keep trying to protect them or dig them up and put them in containers and move inside.
As for earthworms, just put one of your kitchen scrap containers, probably covered, on the ground, on dirt or in your in ground garden. Keep it moist. Check it periodically. In a few days or a week, there will be worms there. Move the worms or the entire container to where you want those worms. In ground, wherever there is food, the worms will move there.
I have plant some of those sweet red peppers.
Cool!
During the growing season I, like to get a bag of compost and put a handful in the totes.. or a handful of alfalfa pellets.. works great for me.
Perfect, thanks for sharing 😊
Sweet peppers are my my favourites. I can cook almost any meal or prepare any salad with these ❣️ and this summer I had an awesome pepper season 😊 I'm harvesting everyday sweet peppers and I hope they will make it through the winter months.
I love layering too❣️ it saves me space, water and the plants are creating a good ecosystem together.
The weather here is warm now. Some days it's cold but then it's hot again... lettuce don't like this weather I guess so I'm waiting for the weather to cool down...
I hope all of you are safe my sweet friend ❤️🙏❤️ I pray God to stop this madness we are facing 🙏
I’m with you on the peppers, I can add that to uncooked food like salads, I can add it to salsa, I can add it to stews. I can add it to stove top fried foods, stir fry, pizza…anything when it’s not too hot. And like you, laying in containers is the best for so many reasons ❤️😊. Here weather is good put also changing daily, we has a mild heatwave now it cooled day, rained yesterday in the morning, it is all over the place. I am growing lettuce in shaded locations here, and it is doing great. Had a big salad just now for dinner 😊 All is fine here, trying to not watch the News, but I still do 🥲. You stay well and safe. Hope all is going good with the new man in you life ❤️ Take care, and thank you so much for the Super Thanks. (Try lettuce 🥬 n your shaded balcony now) 😊
😊❤
I am watching this video and laughing at myself due to the fact this is my first year of going with your methods. My gardening success was o.k., but not good. It was late in the season when it dawned on me that first I forgot the bulky material in the very bottom and second I put a layer of leaves first.......that layer was probably a half of a lawn and leaf bag of leaves in each mineral tub....( cattle country and mineral tubs are free!). I then added kitchen scraps, green matter and topped it with my sandy loam soil. I planted my seeds, and watered and my seeds sprouted and grew and then they slowed, no worms came and I had maybe a 25% success rate all the while going through every video you folks made, still not dawningon me I had actually set my tubs up incorrectly! I am currently going through each tub and doing the sticks in the bottom and breaking up the saturated leaf cement in the bottom and relayering! I am absolutely looking forward to Garden 2024 ( zone 6b), am motivated by your enthusiasm and continously researching/ watching your and Mr. Gary's videos! You 2 are amazing and thank you! ❤
You can harvest your own worms by filling a container with kitchen scraps and putting it on the ground on dirt. Basically Robbie's kitchen scrap container, with holes on the bottom, covered, kept wet/moist, on the ground. The worms will go in to eat. Check it periodically. When you see a bunch of worms, move the whole container to one of your own containers, or split the contents up into multiple containers. The worms will stay if they have food.
Robbie, thanks so much for this info. I live in the far East Bay (between San Francisco and Sacramento), and the most constant weather pattern we have is WIND. I have yet to grow peppers that throw fruit, and now I think I know why. Might need to try peppers indoors.
Hi Robbie, I just love your videos. they've helped me so much, i live in Kwa Zulu Natal on the coast of South Africa so its summers are hot and humid, very difficult to grow veggies.
Hey Robbie 🥰🥰
❤️
Robbie thank you for sharing your wisdom with us 🥰🥰 I appreciate you & Gary both 🥰🥰
❤
That is the most healthiest geraniums I’ve ever seen.
Thanks, I have geraniums growing everywhere around here now ❤️
I do have a worm farm. With leaves and sticks and kitchen scraps. Lol
Yes. I was wondering how long before you empty out and re-do the compsost and food scraps. I heard you say 8n the video about one time a year. Is that your standard? And...do you feed all of your plants with the liquid plant food you make? My thoughts are for next year to do everything you are doing with the addition of homemade fish fertilizer and homemade lactic acid bacteria solution. Thank you so much💕
I have Chocolate Bell growing in Ahopegarden hydroponics for winter. If anyone wanted to try the name brand, I’d highly recommend this much more affordable option.
I'm really curious if my mint will survive in the compost trash can. I wanted it for rain water but it leaks, so I put a lot of my garden junk in, including mint. It's basically anaerobic, but things seem to break down. Will the mint survive?😊
If it turns to mush, it won’t. Depends on how soggy for how long.
@@ivahihopeful in the next couple of weeks it will be incorporated into the new compost pile, time to harvest some potting soil and turn the top layer under. One more grass mowing on top, plenty of leaves mixed in and kitchen scraps I have in another bin, all will be "put to bed" for winter. If some mint survives, it can grow out of the new compost😊
That sounds like most likely will break down like that, but all it takes is a tiny piece to make it through and that could grow 😊
No makeup ever again!
I crop and move my peppers to the side of the house about thanksgiving. It does keep warm enough.
What do you know about tomato curled leaves. The whole plant leaves are curled most are green some are yellowing .
Hi Robbie this is this is Linda I was wondering when you feel your totes up with scraps do they stink from the smell of rotten food and are you worried about mice and rats finding the scraps in the totes
Where did you find those pitchers with lids that come off so easily? The one I got at Dollar Tree doesn't.

Can you use clear totes?
The thin clear ones crack easy.
😊 hi Robbie it's Linda could you please
Done!
Thanks Robbie
