A few years ago I bought their wire wastebaskets, which I turned upside down and pinned to the ground over a small plant. It was just like a chicken wire cloche and kept out the rabbits etc.
Buy two laundry baskets. Invert one, cover with weed blocking cloth, place the other one inverted over that (align the basket holes), flip back over, trim excess, fill with potting soil. You just made an Air pot.
Great ideas. The closest Dollar Tree is a hour drive away, but still, if I have something out that way to do, I'll pop in. To keep your jute dry, find a jar it fits inside and put a hole in the lid the size of your string. Then you can pull out what you need and if it gets left out in the rain, most of it will stay dry.

FORKS! I have neighborhood cats digging in my beds like it's a litter box. I bought a package of plastic forks to stick in my beds pointy side up to protect the beds until the plants become established enough.
OMG I was at a friend’s house years ago and his neighbor had forks sticking pointed side up all over the yard!! I thought somebody pranked him 😂 We have an issue with cats where I live cuz neighbors keep feeding them so I haven’t been able to plant anything in my beds 😡 I’m definitely trying this weekend ❤
Tip: get to DT very early like late January/February and this is when to find the best DT gardening stuff. The plastic hair claw clamps are awesome to clip tomato and pepper stalks to stakes and great also to clamp netting. Recycle plastic parmesan cheese containers to sprinkle powders onto the plants. They also fit on Mason jars!!
I get my snips from dollar tree. I've had them for three years and still work great! I have one in my kitchen, one in the greenhouse and one in the vegetable garden. Want to get more b/c I keep taking them with me. Thank you for your ideas. I will use all of them!
I planted sweet potatoes in my laundry baskets..I lined them with green garbage bags to keep the soil inside..They really work well and so very cheap our use the same ones again this year
The little needle nose clippers are wonderful for delicate plants and small jobs. I love them and find that I use them the most out of all my shears. Just picked up a 2nd pair to stash away in case I wear my 1st pair out and they don’t have them when needed.
It's not a Dollar Tree item, but welding gloves from Harbor Freight are inexpensive and save your hands and lower arms from thorns from berries and thistles.
Thank you! This was so helpful! Could you possibly do a video on your raspberries? We have them, but would like them to spread. They seem to be moving! Thanks again!
Hi I love inventive ideas. Question are you using the earth directly on the plastic laundry basket. Not all plastics are safe for growing food in, You need to check the bottom for a #5 which is safe and won't leach toxic plastic into your food. I will try the tall trash cans which are a number 5 for potatoes, carrots, because it is deep for root veggies. Also I made several raised veggie beds by using the large 92 litre storage bins. I built a wood square box around 8 at a time to protect the tubs from the sun, as it will break down over time. I even put a small edge lip around it so you can sit and weed if needed. Please check plastic to make sure it is safe to grow food in, flowers don't matter as much. Good luck Thanks for your tips.
Is it food safe plastic? Many plastics are not and are toxic. I would be careful shopping at dollar store when it comes to plastics.Diatomaceous earth is great and is non toxic. I also like Neeme oil and Thuricide.
Hi Cindy! I occasionally use flour for worms (see my post here: thekitchengarten.com/getting-rid-of-cabbage-worms/) and diatomaceous earth is great for ants. Hope this helps!
@@TheKitchenGarten Great video! Those mason jar shakers are a great idea to use & will be the next time I do pest control. Course ground Cornmeal is good for ants to. They take it back to the colony & eat it. Food grade Diatomaceous Earth is the safest & I use it for ticks in a 4x4ft area that’s infested with them where my neighbor planted with those feathery plume plants.. Within a few days .. all gone
Thought about subscribing, decided NOT TO. "Use zip ties ...brown string to tie peas like I do, see link below". Zero link, went through you gardening vides, nothing related to peas. "Part three" of garden videos. No part one or two. What a waste of my time, searching!

@@allthingspossible4569 Maybe you have her email address, I don't. If it was in NONE of her videos, what would she have told me? "Oops, I forgot to post it."? Plus, people deserve to be told, not to waste their time, since she doesn't have it posted.
Wow! Are you a vicious little woman! Things like not finding a video bothers you so much? You must have a boring little life! Imagine having so much venom over little things like this. What a waste of a life!
@@dr.chitradesikanrajagopal1972 Says a person so irresponsible, she can't go back to her own video and write just below it, "sorry, I forgot that I had no other video on the subject". Why the heck are viewers supposed waste time looking for something that doesn't exist, because the important Dr. doesn't give a dang. Sorry, lady, you are NOT THAT IMPORTANT. As to the "Dr.", I happen to have one Juris Doctorate and another in Pschology. So you DO NOT IMPRESS ME. Irresponsible, child, get this honey I am a LOT OLDER THAN YOU.

Yes! I've seen those used as cloches and love it. I may pick some up myself this year. Thank you!
Great idea! What would you use to pin them down? Garden staples?
I do this too!
Keeps the squirrels and raccoons from eating my ginger
Love the laundry basket in bucket idea! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome 💡 idea. That harvesting container with strainer. Thanks forsharing. 😊

You can order stuff from the dollar tree from their website. We ordered a whole case of those little red truck ornaments before Christmas.
Nice tips! Short and to the point. No fuss no muss!

Using the blue bucket also works as a container to plant your plants! I planted my tomatoes last year and they did very well!
So good to know!

Now they have gardening clamps.. really cool.. (if theyre not sold out) they come with about ten in a package. but the hair clamps are a great Idea!
Thanks for the info!

Nice Idea. I try to find that bucket , i Will used to plant Sweet potatoes. Thank you for sharing.greetings from Belgium
Thank you!

Great idea!
Great Ideas, Thank You.
Very good items. Very useful in garden
A lot of great ideas.... thanks for sharing!
All of those are good ideas and they do have different kinds of pruning shears and scissors that I keep in my apron pockets
Good tip! I've never used the shears.
The little needle nose clippers are wonderful for delicate plants and small jobs. I love them and find that I use them the most out of all my shears. Just picked up a 2nd pair to stash away in case I wear my 1st pair out and they don’t have them when needed.
Thanks a million for the great ideas. I found them in middle of March 2021, so perfect for the upcoming gardening season.
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Awesome! I’m so glad you mentioned that, thank you! I live about 25+miles from the DT’s & didn’t want to waste a trip. I’ll be going tomorrow! 👍
@@adriankap2978 Did you know you can order on their website?
@@allthingspossible4569 Really! I hadn't thought of that...Thank you for saying!

Great suggestion!
Great ideas...short n sweet. I love it.
Excelentes! Gracias 😊 thank you so much ! 🌹👍⭐️🤩🙌🇵🇷🙏🏼❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Gracias Nidza
Great ideas (I ❤️ 💲🌳)! Also, if you don't want to use glass to shake your diatomaceous earth (or flour), try an empty parmesan cheese container.
Great idea about the parmesan container!
That's exactly what I use !
4 for $1 packs of seeds!!!! Awesome
Wow, amazing!! I would never have thought to use a measuring cup as a measuring cup!! Thank you so much for that brilliant idea 😃
Katy Dingwall Why be mean?

Awesome "gardening hacks" 👍🏾😊
Thank you!
You can use your basket as a potato growing planter
Yes, I've heard of this. Thank you for the tip!

Hi! No, I don't grow in this basket; it's simply for harvesting and washing. Hope this helps!
Thanks

Loved this video. I use the little salt/pepper shaker in my kitchen for toothpicks. What do you use flour for in the garden? And Diatemacious earth???

I have never heard of putting flour on plants... tell me more!
Flour and worms?
Yes, for cabbage worms, I will sometimes use flour: thekitchengarten.com/getting-rid-of-cabbage-worms/
You mean actually, not literally
Weed killers! Thats me gone
