One thing I especially appreciate about you is you figure out how to do things cheaply. Being on disability 'Cheap' is the only way I can live. :)
@Ik You simply have to make yourself someone who will not quit. In most cases there are people worse-off.
I know what you mean being on disability gardening helps with the food cost but it is an expensive thing to do and this gentleman really helps out bringing that price down for that I love him
💚
The cute dog is the selling point. Doggie approved.
Hello mate
the idea is good but I see it a bit weak
I think that once the cement has hardened, you should give it a second coat, or whatever is needed. inside or outside, to give more solidity to the structure, even use something similar to fiber cement, especially on the upper edge, which is one of the areas that will support more loads
greetings good job
I really like the natural look of these planters! I appreciate that you do not have background music.
The water from fountain,that was goid background music...love a good fountain
this is literally the best garden hack I've seen in years. was trying to figure out how to keep my grow bags from getting mold all over them (live in south east) because I'm in an apartment balcony gardening...didn't want to stain the balcony. Think this will be an inexpensive, attractive solution. And I can even get the cheap grow bags, which i hesitated to use alone...thinking they would not hold up as well as SmartPots. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Yea, no clickbait! Upvote!
In our current times of growing scarcity for all things relative to gardening, I have noticed that finding containers to grow things in has been somewhat challenging. This is a neat alternative!
It is great idea. But you'll always have your natural soil. You just have to know what you can grow in it and which plants will provide food for you in your zone. Also it's wise to know your wild plants. Dandelion. Chickweed. Wood Sorrel. Purslane. Super easy to grow, they come up wild and you can provide them extra water here and there to help them grow more abundant for you.
Oh and also look up to see if you have any native edible plants in your area. Great plant to have around is a native plant that provides you food too.
I agree, pots are challenging to find and very expensive! I love this alternative. I'm think I'm going to use a # 2 tin tub as my mold and make several to grow vegetables in....I'm thrilled to have found this. However, I think I may wash another coat of cement inside and out after it dries to make a bit more stable
True..and especially now I think stores have seen uptick in people gardening so prices even higher. I can't believe what plain ole run of the mill terra cotta planters cost now- its insulting! I got some way cheaper last year. Good to know how to also make plain grow bags and other things more decorative not just for yourself but so no one complains about aesthetics.
Woow i love this idea as my husband having so much excess cement from his construction/renovation work and i have tons of grocery bags...thanks a lot for sharing
Similar containers used for water storage were used in poorer villages.Hessian was sewn to make the container shape.It was then filled with a material like sand or sawdust and a concrete render was applied thinly on the outside.The pot was then emptied and rendered on the inside.Large pots were made in situ.They were long lasting as long as they were not moved and could be adapted to be a planter.No metal reinforcing was used.
I'd leave the handls and cover them in the cement, too. Easier to move when it's full for me.
Pup in a pot lol! My favorite type of dog. Little wire hair mix. Ty for the video. Great info! Oh I'm a dog groomer.
I love watching you do these easy things. It calms me so then I go out and dont stress as much about plants. Thank you God bless
Oooh im gonna make some long beds with landscape fabric and cement haha thanks
This idea popped into my head so I googled and your video popped up. Great minds think alike 😉. Thanks for doing the work to help all of us out.
I love the face on your dog!
This seems like a great way to reinforce cloth bags once they have gotten too broken down to use as is anymore.
look at that beautiful face peeking out the top of the pot, so cute!!
You can do that with mortar but add about a cup of type 2 wood glue (it suspends the sand particles in the mortar mix and adds flexibility). You can make it much “soupier” so it’s easier to work with...you could also do this with a sheet, clothes, canvas drop cloth, cloth laundry bag, ect...
Great idea, thx!
0:26 lol
Men's best friend 😊
I like that you could still lift the pot. It wasn’t so heavy from the concrete that you couldn’t manage it. Wonderful idea and lots of great ideas in the comments!
You could make a rough stucco type texture that would deter slugs
Well this will absolutely make the grow bags last MUCH longer! Thanks
Thanks Dan!
Awwwe cute dog!
I just purchased a cloth container I thought I could use in the garden somehow. Now I know exactly what to do. Thank you for this video !
Now I know what to do with all these grow bags. I wasn't going to use them this year because it's so difficult to keep things watered during the hot SC summers. Thank you.
Your dog really seems to be enjoying the concrete pot, lol! I love this project! Thank you so much for sharing!
you could use your burlap, cut into length, soak in your cement and wrap around your frame then add burlap cement soaked top and rub over the sides to join the two together over your wire cage.
Great idea. It is really good to use on old bags that are on their last leg.
That's awesome! That gives me an idea to do it with pillowcases. I have a bunch of pillowcases that came from a hotel getting new linens.
I love your pots...but I think I love your beautiful Dog more! Much love and gratitude from Scotland.
So very kewl….looks very rustic indeed!! Love it 🥰. I’m not sure how much a bag of that particular cement is but it’s gotta be a lot less expensive then buying one pot that size from your local hardware store. Looks like it would be fun to make too. Thank you for sharing this and so many other wonderful ideas and creative projects. Your making this world a better place by teaching so many others how to also get creative in the garden.
You could possibly paint it with like a bronze spray paint and make it look like one of those $80 - $120 pots too 🤙
Thank you! It's about $10 for a 47 lb bag. You can make 4-5 30 gallon pots with one bag. Cheers!
@@plantabundance WOW, that is very affordable and it’s your own creation too. I looked on Amazon but was way more expensive or maybe it wasn’t quite the right one. Since I’ve never bought Portland cement, can you just buy it at Lowes or Home Depot?
@@dogslobbergardens6606 so much great info about what kinds of paints or adding different colored pigments to it. Thank you kindly for all the great info.
@@wisteria4981 Portland cement refers to the mix or recipe for the cement, not a brand name. As it's the most commonly used cement, you should be able to get it at any hardware store. It's usually one of the cheapest options as well.
2022 I get to start my first garden. I'm Thankful I have you. Your ideas are inexpensive and smart. I'm learning a lot and feel like I might be successful in growing a garden.
I might try this using fiberglass resin. But awesome idea using Portland 👍👍👍👍
Hmmm 🤔 You have my wheels turning on this one! I wonder what else I could soak in concrete as a pot? 🤯
Old sheets, stained towels, old pants,grandma's drapes.. 😀
Could try a grocery bag. Paper or plastic.
Old tire. Put a coating of concrete around the tire. May protect the soil from the tire breaking down with the concrete encasing it.
Some lace around the top edge would be so cut!
And what about a pair of jeans? If you can keep them filled with something, you can make a very funny bit of decoration 😂
I'd seen the pots made from fabric layed overtop of an inverted pot and then planted in the upright possition. This is a pretty cool. I'm not a fan of the look of the fabric grow pots, but this, I like this. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if one makes just one, and use that as a support/mold to hang & dry the next one on.
As it looks quite finicky to work with the wire frame each time.
Plus just leave the first one on the wire to help for a better 'footing' for the following pots?
There is one disadvantage in doing this, and each gardener has to make their own choices. The advantage of fabric pots is they do not get root bound, because when the roots grow through to air they die/ self limit. By adding cement you take away this advantage. Now you may not be using felt pots for this reason, maybe just for low cost. This does look nice, and maintains the low cost advantage.
Now you need to acid stain them, check into it, I've done almost the same thing but I used old towels
I love your channel! Two comments: most people don't know that concrete is a major source of CO2 emissions. It is also highly alkaline, which can harm some plants. I'll steer clear of this particular DIY. Thanks!
oh good, CO2 actually is necessary for plant growth. So maybe it will help my plants, since the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are at an historic low--much lower won't support plant growth. Why do you think pot growers have to use CO2 producing machines? Yeah for concrete plant holders
Could use a tomato cage cut in half for reinforcement for smaller pots too 🤔
I love the furry accent added in the beginning ❤😊
Hi Dan! 👋🏾Thank you for sharing this.
I watch another YT'er make pots like this. Her name is Helen Wyatt.
Its so simple and looks like fun!
I'm inspired to make some for my garden and my sun porch. 😊
I like watching Helen too, she’s a neat lady. Cant wait to try this!
I love Helen also,and she loves her some Portland cement.
I love this idea! I plan to try this myself but I think I will get terracotta concrete dye. 😊
Hey! Will I be able to grow that cute dog in the opening photo? If you have extras after harvest, I’d love to have one. 😂😂. Great video, as usual.
❤❤❤😂
wow good job! and lol i was sitting here thinking , oh maybe i could do that for my new blueberry hahaha
Well, I WAS happy with my black fabric grow bags... those concrete bags look so much better!! I needed an outside project; looks like I have one now. Thank you.
Thank you. You just solved my problem with those bags in Colorado. I didn't know Colorado was so arid and when I planted stuff in mine, it dried out too quickly.
😲 thank you for the little blueberry tip I was planning on doing this for my blueberry plant and my raspberries and blackberries that was the save thank you
One of my favorite words, cheap!
Amazing idea thank you
Thanks Dan from a new sub. 🙂
I've seen something similar with soaking old towels and draping them over a bucket or box. This is faster and easier! Looks like a great place to grow a few potatoes. 👍
This awesome! I’ve looked at several instructions for making pots. This is by far the easiest thank you
What a super idea! Very clever. Thank you!
The pot starts out “rustic” with the funny pooch inside.Love the ruffled look.
Wow what a great game changer. Thank you so much. I’m excited about making these. About 10 of the smaller growing bags at a yard sale last year and now I’m going to put them to good use😜
So glad you said that, It sparked my mind, I bought 20 grow bags last year ,and never hot to use them yet ,this will be perfect, Lowes here I come!!
Best helper ever
Adorable 🐕🦺🙂
You are so creative! Thank you!
I'm going to make these, for sure thanks
Just found you. Thrilled with your ideas. Thank you for sharing. You are very creative!
Clever! I love this 💗 such a wonderful thing to do.
I wish I had thought of this myself, but I didn't and that's what you're here for!
Thank you for all your videos, they are all so helpful and I love watching them 😊
you can get cement colouring to change the look, just add to the cement while mixing
Yes
Wow, great video. Thanks, that little fur baby is so dang Cute ❤
I need to try this with a grow bag
Your dog is the cutest! I hate those grow bags. I like your idea.
I have some old pots like this that need mending but I'm not sure they'll hold. This seems like it might be a great thing to do with them. Thanks for the idea.
Yo this channel instantly caught my eyes, 😂 sooo underrated!!
Curious about these and their “longevity “; I work with concrete and thin layers and not much reinforcing usually leads to cracking and spalling and ultimately deterioration… what’s your experience with their life span? Txz!
My thoughts exactly. I like the look but I am afraid they do not keep long
Thanks Dan! Can we use this method on the IKEA bags too?
Ooh I do like this.
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
I wonder if I could make my own fabric bags. Love this concept of making them into cement containers like this. Thank you for sharing this awesome ideas. You got me thinking about making my garden better.
If you try it and it works could you please share your method? I want to do a long, deep, rectangular container for my Mom
Okay, I will let you know or I can make a video on it.
@@cher-amirose7109 try looking on sewing sites for sewing fabric bins and adapt the length to work for your project. Great idea!
Awesomeness
Thank you. I have grow bags. I'm sure it will be more durable now!
What a great idea! This will also help with the southern heat being lighter in color and more waterproof.
I'm curious to see how well & how long it holds up 🤔
Love this!
Best thing I’ve seen all day. I’m gonna try it. God bless. Kansas
Please keep us updated on how the plants do in these containers. Great video man! Keep it up!
Fantastic!!
Love the doggie so cute
Good idea its very cool
Paint a picture on it! Let the kids paint it! It’s a cool idea!
Lol... looks like your cute little Rox is inside a Jacuzzi!! 😉😉 Thank you for the upload! 👍
This is genius...thank you so much for this!
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing with us.
omg puppy....i need
Wow! I love this! I'm doing this.
I bought grow bags last year and will do this to all of them. I will paint them and the extras will be gifts. Thanks for sharing.
Try rolling the top edge down for stiffness. Cut horizontal slits on the sides then push the top in and bottom out to make grow holes. Make pots that can stack?
The best idea, love this!
Most respek Dan👍Really inspiring mi bredda.
Great project! You do a terrific job with video and spoken words to show exactly what to do.
Great idea and love your doggo!
Great idea 💡 Thank you! For this video.🍁
Very clever! Think I might have to give this a try...just on a smaller scale for smaller areas. TFS!
Bro! Your A Garden Artist! 👊😇👌
Very cool idea! I have a bunch of old bags that were my only garden from before I built raised beds. Now I have an excuse for not throwing them out.
Thats a fantastic idea, thank you very much for sharing, it will be perfect for Flowers & gardening :)
LOVE THIS!!
Thanks for sharing this idea. I really like the added structure that the cement gives to the fabric.
Great idea.
