Hi Robbie!! This is my first time commenting on your channel. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now. And I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Last year I decided to finally put compost on one orange tote that had a little crack on top. So instead of throwing it away I decided to do what you do!!! I put some toilet paper rolls, leaves, kitchen scraps etc. I planted celery, bell peppers and tomatoes!! Everything was so delicious!!!! This year the bell peppers came back and are so big!! I took out the celery and tomatoes and planted them on their own. I had planted other bell peppers and jalapeño peppers on other pots with store bought soil and my bell peppers were sooo tiny!! And my orange tote still has a great quality soil!!! I’m also growing cucumbers and cilantro in that same orange tote!!! So once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing this awesome idea of composting on totes!!
Oh I LOVE YOU Comment, this is wonderful and make me feel great and excited for You! Thank you for posting this here, again Thank You ❤
I just added compost to my totes where I grew tomatoes this summer in your method - I had a wonderful harvest! And I just want to say thank you so much for showing us how to plant in the totes. I just love growing my food like this :). Having the garden this year has helped me recover from my heart attack & recovery ...and I'm pleased to say God gave me the harvest more abundantly than I dreamed possible. The totes I planted with kitchen compost did MUCH better than totes than the ones I added bone meal, egg shells, blood meal & fertilizer that I bought. ....in fact the plants were more vibrant & fruited wonderfully that had the kitchen waste & yard waste & grass clippings. You're a very wise - an inspiration to us all Robbie & Gary. Thank you & bless you!
Thanks. I have andi am learning to grow every day. You are an inspiration. I Started watching yall about 18 months ago and at 70 years young, going on 71 I am growing food. I am a new gardener and I really got into it because of yalls encouraging words. So excited. You know I'm serious because Louisiana is in an unbelievable drought and my wonderful compost in place has given me success. It works folks.
That is awesome! This really makes me feel great, and I’m no spring chicken either🤣 and we all are always learning 😊❤️ Thank you
I , at 71 years old, started watching your channel. You made it look so easy to grow in containers so I set out to do so. Over the years, I have grown more and more veggies. Right now, in containers, I have red cabbage, green cabbage, savoy cabbage, collards, cabbage collards, broccoli, cauliflower garlic, tree collards, rutabagas and onions growing. Thank you Robbie and Gary. Y’all gave me the motivation.
Robbie at the end of last season, I buried leaves and kitchen scraps in all of my pots, I learned that from you, and my plants grew so big and beautiful, also the soil was like black gold. Kitty will always be with you, you will never look at a broccoli plant and not remember her.
That is wonderful you are making great soil! It is true on the broccoli, maybe that’s why I didn’t plant that much afterwards. But I will plant more soon. Thank you so much.❤️😊
Yes, I teared up when you showed Kitty. When it comes to fur babies, I can't help but love them all. God bless you both.
To be honest, for months, I couldn’t even look at her photo. But when I was working on this, she is in so many of my clips, and I miss her so much ❤ Thank you so much
We all miss Kitty so much!❤
Awe Miss Kitty is where she loved to be, in the years with you two. My girls are too. ❤
Thank you ❤️
Ever since I found your videos about composting in place, I watched plenty other channels on the topic. I realized this summer I have plenty bamboo and reeds surrounding me. I just chop those, jump on them to crush the fibers to help accelerate the decomposition. Your video on how to compost pine needles made me understand anything that is said rot-proof (bamboo, citrus leaves, etc.) just needs to be chopped and damaged a bit, in order for bacteria and fungi and other helpers to get an entry point.
I don't have many pots and totes to make compost in them. But I throw everything into used bags (grocery bags, plastic bags even clear ones that I puncture for drainage), put them in crates, cover with a wood board or a piece of cardboard so stuff wouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight (and for aesthetics, nobody needs to know what's in those crates and be exposed to a horror scene of decomposition). And I leave them out in a corner of the garden. Over 6 months later, I have now several bags of compost at hand. And still continuing to make more for next growth season.
That is wonderful! How you use what you have is amazing, you are doing great and making nature’s compost/soil 😊 Just think also the money you are saving on Soil 😊❤
oh my heart Miss Kitty and I miss my Little Bear thanks for all the gardening tips
I know how we miss our special little ones ❤️ You are so welcome! Thank you

It's really so simple, it's uncanny. Is it that our American born & bred society has just gotten so used to buying everything that we think the authoritative answer is to oft be bought at "the store?" [whether it's our food, or even our soil]; Or have we gotten lazy or too busy, or have we misplaced our trust from Nature to Industrialization? Watching you and a few others on YT have educated me to WAY beyond what I used to know & I have so much gratitude. You are a treasure with your honest humility & in helping the environment become a better place for humans, insects, birds, and nature. Much love to you from South Carolina!
This is so nice what you said ❤ Thank you. And you are right on your comments, I think it’s a little bit of everything for different people 😮 thanks again
Just got my first load of wood chips!!
Oh Wonderful ❤ Gary so loves wood chips 😊
Thank you for sharing this. Been gardening on the cheap and “chaos gardening” for years!😅😅😅
And yes, soil is a LIVING thing. Your garden should be ALIVE. And it should attract other living things. I love this channel because you have shared so many handy hints. And you have transformed your yard into a diverse and thriving ecosystem. It is a magnificent sight to behold.
So nice of you, Thank You So Very Very Much❤️😊
Hi Robbie, I really enjoy your videos:) you are the reason I’ve gone back to gardening. I bought a bag of inground garden soil by accident last year😮 I’ve been putting all my kitchen. scraps into that soil. It is the best soil ever. I use it in my totes and containers.
That is wonderful ❤ 😊
And Thank You ❤
Hi everyone can’t wait to find out how to make some free compost
So easy ❤
So sorry to hear about Miss Kitty.
❤ Thank you
❤❤❤
❤
I had to buy a little bit of soil in the spring, and then I composted all summer. I plan on growing more next year, and I want need to buy any soil because I have more than I started with this year, unless I buy it to do like you mentioned, put a layer on top for seedlings.
I thought about y'all today. A beautiful light gray and white guinea was running around in our yard and hollowering every step it made 🤣🤣🤣.
I sure miss kitty 😢. She was so precious, and so is Zoe. ❤😊😊❤
Yes, it is good to buy some soil and have it for seedlings to get them started. I am with you on that. How funny you had a guinea in your yard today wow. How I miss Kitty so, thank you so much.❤
Awee, Ms. Kitty lives on thru that apricot tree.
Hi guys 😊
Hi Connie 😊
You have always helpme with excellent timing with your videos, i feel you like a companion, thanks
You are so welcome ❤️ Thank you
I started doing this alot this year. Even in my flower pots. I had some really big flower pots and i just reused the soil and out all kinds of matter in the bottom. Had a big plastic revtangle container that i grew my potatoes in and filled that all the way with matter and i have a compost pile also and used that. Had wonderful results. Thank you for reminding us that nature is the best way to grow. I do use some potting mix sometimes also
All that sound wonderful ❤😊, you are doing great
I'm so sorry to hear about Kitty....thank you for sharing her and your wisdom with us. Some days I talk myself out of gardening because I wonder if I can truly do it. However, each year, my harvest gets bigger and bigger, so I guess I answered my own question...lol. I love your gardening style because you just go for it without getting caught up on the science behind gardening, and if it works,..WONDERFUL. If not, ..you just try something new. That's why I watch you and have given up on the other gardening TH-camrs, because you have so much common sense behind how you garden without adding extra $$$. Thank you again!
😊 saw your other comments, like you said, you answered your own question, the more you garden the more you will know how it works. To many people make it sound complicated, when it is really so natural, and it is easy, as long as you remember not all plants make it so, those get compost it back in, as nature does it 😊 Thank You ❤️
You are so wise 🦉😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much, but I’m very observant since I was a little kid😊❤ Again Thank YOU ❤
Okay, questions: cover or don’t cover compost bins (without plants being grown in them)? Do you always bury the pre-compost or do you add more compost on top of the plant as the soil level sinks? Do the birds eat the worms?
That’s it, I think. Thanks for the video!!
Miss you, Kitty!! ❤
I do have tons of videos exactly on how I do each of these, though there’s no set way of doing it no matter what it will break down. If I am not putting any plants in it, it’s up to you if you want to cover it. Some I do and some I don’t. If I don’t cover it, then birds like hummingbirds will hang around collecting fruit flies, or other birds coming in to see if there are any insects for them. If I cover it, it keeps everybody away from it. So that’s fine too. Do I top it always with soil, sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. If I put something in there that seems like it will smell, then put a little bit of any soil, you can collect or leaves on top and that will stop the smell. Thanks ❤😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Thank you!!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you

I love these composting videos. You've helped me understand and that's how we do it now! Thanks, Robbie! So great to see Kitty! We miss her. :(
I have her in so many different clips, it was so hard to look at her, but I can now look back and smile a bit, thank you so much
A good attitude, and even inspirational

Robbie I am taking damp composted soil out of totes to move to dishpans r to grow lettuce in. Soil is great but FULL of earwigs and rollie pollies. Tried hand picking them out but there are tons of them.used cottage cheese containers for collars to protect the seedlings and they are still getting eaten up. I even sifted the compost but the little buggers are small enough to fall through the screen. If I didn't havpe feral cats who like to poop in bare dirt I would lay it out on a tarp or cloth and invite the birds to pick through and eat the bugs.Also i have tons of earthworms and dont want the birds to eat them. am exasperated. Ideas? Ps. My totes sit on milk crates, not on the ground.
Okay so you have a lot of earwigs there, if you’ve got any straws or irrigation tubing leave a few in the tote on top of the soil, tuck them on the side a little bit. Earwigs tend to like to crawl into clean, smooth, small places. In the morning or after a couple days, lift the straws out and see if there’s anything inside. Roly-polys will go under leaves, so you could put some big leaves in there like a collard leaf or flat toilet paper roll. I might have to do this as a Q&A, because my spell correct is writing things I’m not saying. 😂On my phone. thanks ❤
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy OK will give that a try. Thanks for the reply!
Love you guys ❤🌏🌱 Thank You for taking the stress out of composting and helping me to think outside the box !
Our pleasure! 😊 Gardening should reduce stress ❤️Thanks
You spoke so eloquently and passionately everything I feel- and the dog- oh that little nugget is so cute! Brand new subscriber here- can’t wait to learn from you!
Welcome!! And so much more is coming and might be worth checking out some of your other videos too, thank you so much 😊 ❤️
This is the first year I've really gotten into composting in place using totes and buckets. It's been a success. Lots of Zuchini, tomatoes, eggplant ,cucumbers , onions ,carrots potatoes, . All of this in a very small space and absolutely no native soil . Living in a mobile home park i do take advantage of the parks green bins and my own food scraps. Thanks to that I've had to buy very little b potting mix. Thank you very much for the advice and encouragement.
That is so wonderful to hear! This is the only way I garden, not only cheaper BUT better, like you said here, the plants grow amazingly. I am so happy I could help you try a new method that you now love ❤️ Thank you
😊❤

Hi Robbie. Can you show us how you make your netting that you cover your veggies with. I tried growing lettuce but everything around attacked it and I ended up with nothing... Way wah wah!!!
I have quite a few videos on making covers, here is one Mini Green House Seed High Cover for Seedlings Easy Garden Tote Lid, Container Gardening Raised Bed

Thanks
Hi Robbie... I love watching your composting videos, strange but it calms me LOL!!! I am in MA zone 6b and I use this method all through the growing season. It is fast and it truly is the best method I have seen on youtube. Easy and things grow like crazy. I am already saving up food scraps for spring and will keep them in the garage or outside in the cold in a covered container of some sort with the holes in it. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas, and Gary too!!
I'm doing vertical gardening and container gardening next year off my patio and have been collecting cardboard and egg shells cartons to use in my beds and the vertical gardening but also for blown insulation.
Sounds great 😊
❤ for me this is the best video I think you have done. Thank you.
I love your home ~ I love your videos ~ XXOoO
Thank you so much 😊
I live in the desert and we don't have worms. Will there be enough "natural" organisms to break down the soil and provide good compost without earthworms while using your method?
Yes. I put containers in my pots of weeds, kitchen scraps, and paper. I live in East Texas and in four weeks my smaller containers were completely broken down. I haven't put worms in and they haven't found it yet.
My environment is humid so that will probably be different than you.
Yes, many people all over the world have told me they don’t have worms and everything is broken down beautifully and now they have a garden in their yard or balcony 😊
Love ya program ! Lot of good information! Thanks !
Our pleasure! Thank you ❤️
I found a small lizard in my compost bin. Do you think it is eating the beneficial microbes and insects? Should I leave it or make it find a new home?
It may have found a place where it can eat some small insects. Just make sure it is able to get out and that it’s not stuck in there. It is fine in the bin. 😊❤️
Can I compost tomato plants? They froze and they're dusty with mold?
Do you have a video about how to store extra harvest, for the winter?
I do, here is one, thank you th-cam.com/video/HBtkMY7Pyig/w-d-xo.html
Where do you put your turmeric & ginger after harvesting ? Refrigerate or freeze or keep in garage?
Hi Robbie,
Can I put topsoil on top of the food scraps?
I buy so.e potting soil for indoor seed startinh
Great, thanks
Your potato plant is small (at 5:01 and 5:11) but it already bears so many fruits. Is it a dwarf variety?
Where do you get your tumeric roots?
My first ones I bought at the grocery store ❤😊
I saw worms in your plastic container. Did you add them to the container?
I usually grab a little soil under a wet flower pot sitting on the ground, and there’s usually earthworm eggs in that soil or small earth worms, but any eggs in there will hatch. I don’t usually add in earth worms they end up showing up.
I dig a hole in my garden bed, esp in the winter when we’re not growing much & bury all my kitchen scraps I collect in a bucket, then throw in a few worms I get from one of my totes - in a few weeks i have lots of broken down dirt & baby worms growing & multiplying in the hole - by spring I have great soil to plant my veggies & flowers in😊
I like it when you talk dirt…ummm soil‼️
😂 Thanks
You don't need for things to break down? just put soil on top of scraps and plant?
That’s what I do
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy NICE AND EASY. Thanks
How do earthworms get into your garden containers?
I have lots of videos on that, sometimes they find their way in on their own and sometimes they look under flower pots or under rocks on the ground, I take a shovel of soil from there. It’s usually got earth, worms, or earth worm eggs. Microbes will break everything down as well. You don’t have to put them in.😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy ty so much
Hi, I’m trying to compost ,but I keep finding ants ,is that bad,have you ever find ants in your compost how do you treat this problem 😊,
If you are just doing composting right now, just leave them they break all that down too
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy thank you!!!I will do it 😃
When you buy produce from stores, it has only 15% of it's nutrients .
Well said ❤
I’m some for your loss. 😢
I compost and have for years, but I disagree with adding weeds to the compost
You most certainly add what you want, but I do and Gary does and it works perfect for us, so you do what works for you that’s the most important thing
Just bury deep enough so weeds will rot & not regrow & throw away weed seeds & pods or you will be planting weeds!😊
I tried containers but they didn't do well and they got ants
Try again, because it works great and next time put a little bit of soil on the top
❤❤❤
