This way to Compost in Place, can help many plants outside continue to grow all winter until the freeze. I had zucchini grow all year into Spring with this very system.
Hi. Are you using raised bed soil or putting mix in those smaller containers? Can old gardening, potting, or raised bed soil/dirt be added to my compost pile? Thanks for your help! :)
Thumbs up for this wonderful lady !
Thank you, Robbie. Can I tell you that you’re more fun to watch than tv? True! ❤️
So true. I hve learnt a lot from her. Sometimes after watching her videos l gne out in d hot sun to see wot l can do for my plants yes.
I actually clapped with glee as you ended the video. I'm so happy to discover this method of composting and growing! I'm throwing off my blanket and heading to the garden right now!
I think growing some pollinator-attracting flowers in the upper pot would also be fun - attract bees/butterflies, and make the garden even more beautiful. Love this idea.
Hi Robbie, greetings from London. I found your channel six weeks ago & got excited to start a compost-in-crate vegetable garden from scratch just before lockdown started in March. As food prices are going to rise, I wanted to be self sufficient as much as I could. Yesterday, 8 weeks after starting sewing my vegetables from seed, I found the fattest earthworm ever in my rich kitchen-scrapped soil of my basil plant I grew in a washing-up bowl. Very exciting!. It's still coolish here so the basil plants are still growing in the conservatory waiting to be planted outside. I was so excited & satisfied to see my first worm (an earthworm not a composting worm I think) because I didn't add any worms myself, like some gardeners do. I'm using your compost-in-place technique for the first time & it's actually working really well!. I've never gardened before & this is so satisfying. Needless to say, all my other veggies & herbs I've grown from seed - courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, peas, beans, rocket, parsley, onions have their own earthworms in their compost-in-place pots too. Mostly all are still in the conservatory & I'm going to need to build an extension to the house (joke) as they're all getting absolutely huge in their pots & washing up bowls. The basil leaves are the length of my hand, i wish I could upload photos on these comments to show you. Very flavoursome, not like the bland Tesco's basil plants.. I'll never have to buy these herbs & vegetables from Sainsbury's again as they're easy to multiply or grow from cutting. I never knew this as I've recently moved into my partner's house with garden, after living in a flat with no outdoor space. I am Enlightened! What fast results & a rewarding experience to watch my veggies & herbs grow fast & large indoors & outdoors. I make Compost Tea from stewed bananas, tea, kitchen scraps, eggshells & coffee grinds (given for free by my local Greasy Caf). I also stew stinging nettles as a fertiliser for added nitrogen from the forest at the end of my garden. Also collect twigs & sticks from the forest & I mow 3 times over fallen leaves I collect from the there to break them down & sift to use in my compost-in-place creates. Before I started your idea of composting-in-place & growing vegetables in crates, I dug up the poor quality soil & buried tons of kitchen scraps, tinned fish & coffee grinds (to absorb the smell) after I did a load of research about growing bumper crops from the composting in-place method. Hence I'm filling a once overgrown & poor quality clay soil garden from scratch which has never been loved, with lovely vegetables, very exciting. It's kept me occupied & sane during lockdown. I'm a Carer for Elderly people & I get to take home & compost their food leftovers & brown garden waste. Tons of rich home-made compost for free with very little work! yet to taste any of my vegetables as it's too early in the season but I'm sure it will all taste amazing. Thank you Robbie, God bless
This is so GENIUS! CA just inacted a law mandating composting to reduce waste in landfills. Our Waste management company has yet to develop a plan how individual residents can comply. I've been throwing my waste scraps in the green can but this is even better and less messy. Thank you for the idea!
I watched many gardening channels and tried many things. But only your way works best for me. I also purchased tote as you recommended and it keeps the insects and pests away which makes my life easier. So I love it. I set up compost in place 2 system on every pot I have. So now I do not need to worry to make compost or add compost to my plants or need to remember when will they need more fertilizer. So now I love gardening even more. Millions thanks from Cambodia 🇰🇭
That's awesome!!!!
Don't you worry about the chemicals leaching out of the plastic totes, especially when they get hot? Also, is it ok to put meat & fish in the compost material???
Ok but Keep covered w soil & tulle or you will have critters like mice coming in to dig up scraps - also need earthworms & water regularly with plant matter
Hi Robbie! You are an amazing gardener! I have learned so much from watching your videos. I am a brand new gardener but have started composting in place as per your advice...and it works! I have jasmine plants with large flowers just from a few kitchen scraps that I added! I am also growing tomatoes and okra in containers. I watch your videos all the time and love them! Thank you!!
I didn't know Okra could be grown in containers. I have 5 plants that need put in the ground as I type this. May need me a container and try this compost method on one of them.
I love watching your videos because I feel like I can do this. I see all these systems of people have and they give all these complicated instructions and it's just like I live in an apartment I just want to grow some stuff so I don't have to buy it from the grocery store.
You’re a sweetheart Robbie, sharing your easy compost/grow method, I hope, encourages many to garden. Blessing to you, Gary and family. 😊🥕🌺
So nice of you, and I do believe it is getting people to garden on the "easy", Thank you so VERY much, take care, Robbie
This is EPIC! I can’t wait to incorporate this into my garden, thank you for sharing!
Hey Robbie. I haven't set up composting in place...but i compost in those 12 inch landscape pots by stacking them. In just a few months i have such a nutrient based soil with WORMS-GALORE ! Gardening becomes so affordable by being able to use less expensive potting soil... when you can mix it 50/50 with the compost you can make yourself. Thank you for all your experience, knowledge and inspiration. My food forest is looking good (and tasty!) BTW: tip from another youtuber on planting tomatoes. Plant an egg (busted) under each plant. It give a tomato all the food would ever need. I did this... and oh my gosh... i have never seen so many blooms and fruit before. And i planted seeds from grocery store cherry tomatoes ... that i dried the seeds on a paper towel. My investment in dollars = 1 egg and 1 cherry tomato. TY and stay safe!
One day I will give it a try, with all going on, for a while it was so hard to get eggs from the store, finally they are getting them in here again. I compost in place by many of my tomatoes, that is why we have tons last year, and this works so great for me. If I find a broken egg, I will give it a try, Thanks so very much, take care, Robbie
great idea, stack them, wow!!So, you slightly crack one fresh egg under each tomatoe plant?
What do you mean by busted egg ? Do you mean broken raw eggs with shells ?
@@jpham87 yes...i dig a hole, drop in a raw egg, crack it, and plant my tomato as usual.
I love this egg idea, thanks! I have been dumping a tin of sardines into my planting holes for tomatoes and peppers, works great too!
I learn something new every time I watch your videos.
Glad to hear it! I try! Thank you so very much, take care, Robbie
🤩👍🌟🌟 awesome...wish I could show you my set up ...this week ...from watching your videos....
I picked up some cheap totes at walmart
Put the holes in for good drainage ...
stuffed the bottoms with old dried up tree cuttings
tossed in some old earth with compost (kitchen scraps)
and bagged earth to top it off...
Planted some radish , Squash, and gourds ....
Then i put some hardware cloth/ wire mesh on top..to keep the critters out from digging it up..
.
I think I am becoming more attracted to the setup process, more than the veggie production at this early stage of container gardening..LOL
.
thanks again Robbie for your exciting videos.
Wonderful 😀👍 thank you from Australia 🇦🇺🦘🦘🐨❤️
The Compost In Place Queen!!!! Thank you Mr. Gary and Mrs. Robbie for everything!! I have learn so much from you two!!! Keep up the Great Work!!!
Thank you, Robbie👍😎😘
You are a real Earth Angel💞🌱
Plus, a visual spot check will tell you if there is room to add more kitchen scraps by looking at how high the upper bucket is sitting.
You got it! Thank you, take care, Robbie
Thank you so much Robbie 🌹 You have such a green thumb & warm heart🌹❣️ I just LOVE you BOTH😘🌹
You're the best! Thank you so very much, take care, Robbie
You are such a God send❣️. Thank you so much for your common sense approach to something as natural as growing plants🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
That hat looks super cute on you!
Oh thank you! Take care, Robbie
I always enjoy your videos!! You make gardening SO much simpler and with such a FUN personality!! I have a big garden.... but I'm starting to add some totes around my blueberries. I also have tons of wood chips, it's a job to cover the ground with paper or cardboard and then wood chips, but, I'm getting there.
Wonderful! I too am expanding the garden, yours sounds wonderful, Thank you so very much, take care, Robbie
I love it! NATURE FEEDING NATURE 💜🌱
Layering pots! Clever:)
do something similar: I blend the food scraps with paper and layer dirt, blender mix, vines. I grow morning glories because they make great shade, feed polinators AND worms love to breed in the vines after you bury them. The blender step changes the process for seven reasons:
1. blended paper is like chocolate for worms
2. the worms process the blender mix in less than a tenth of the time it would take to process unblended food.
3. you can use it in more places because rodents find it unattractive (I blend icky stuff with food rodents like--coffee+carrots)
4. I put the mix under pots where I have hard pan clay and the worms create amazing, fertile soil to an amazing depth relatively quickly.
5. the worm population explodes which makes my duck happy...she follows me around and waits for me to move pots and does her feeding frenzy before I add more blender mix.
6. all the benefits of vermiculture with local worms...the worms benefit from the temperature regulating/moisture of the pots
7. my grow space is increased because I put the pots partially over walkways...and they are pretty
Try the blender trick with paper added. You will forever appreciate white junk mail envelopes;)
This is a cool variation.
Great idea, as long as rotten dislikes it, I am going to try it out, thanks!
I blend my scraps too. But didn't think of adding paper to the mix. Can't wait to try out this 2 system method.
This is interesting. I want to try your method. Do you add extra water with kitchen scraps and paper?
So you put your kitchen scraps in a blender along with shredded paper, then use this liquid mixture as the compost?
This lady is a game changer in my garden.
OH MY, Thank YOU!
Thank you your good idea I. Learn a lot from you Have a beautiful weekend
Thank you so much 😊
That’s a terrific idea! I’m gonna try that this season. Thanks for the idea!

I love your videos! I am glad I found you here. You are such a sweet and knowledgable lady!
I bet that smells wonderful in the hot sun.
No smell at all
Robbie you rock!
Thanks 😊
Every one of your videos are so helpful, Robbie. This one answered questions and solved problems I was having with food scraps a couple inches down in a couple pots and I’m finally just going to do this! Even tho I knew about your layering method from watching other of your videos, this one just clinched it for me. I realize now the ease and benefit of it, in so many ways!! Sold!! So excited. Thank you…….!!

You just gave me an idea to grow scallions in the small pot, with maybe turmeric in the big tote! Thank you!
Perfect! Thank you so very much, take care, Robbie
VP Garden my Turmeric is beautiful
Lo e your channel,I'm in a wheelchair and I have just got some chairs (for free) so I can have a beautiful chair garden! This is great x

Yorkies!!! Cool idea! Fun video. Thanks.
You bet!
You are brilliant!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for the info...
I am totally going to be doing this!!!I am actually excited to get my container garden started BECAUSE of this method. Oh, and we got the solar birdbath pump delivered lastnight from amazon. Today, I am making kefir AND we shall work on getting a 5 gallon bucket and lid prepared and ready for the bird bath fountain. I love what you're doing. You're so awesome to listen to, so interesting.This one, made my day though. We compost in big piles including the geobin method. We dump out, we mix and mix and put it all back in ...all of that, its time consuming and sometimes I dread having to go do it. But this one, this method is perfect!!!No heavy lifting. Thankyou so much from B.C. Canada.

Brilliant!! Thanks for this video.
Hi, Robbie!
I love your videos, and have learned so much! I've been using all of my garden and kitchen scraps to compost in place like you do! And here in Central Florida it is already 100 degrees F heat index almost every day, and not much rain! So I have decided to make compost ice cubes for my garden earth worms to help with the heat and dry weather. Sort of like your mint ice, only with expired soup, and everything else! It's working! Thanks again! x0x0x0
That is so Awesome , Thank you Robbie can’t wait to try this out 🌱💖
Love your videos Robbie! Such positivity and creativity!

Robbie, there's so many veg in all your gardens. What do you do with all that food? I know you eat some, give food to your daughter, but there's still soooo much food. Just a thought.
What we do not use, goes back to the soil to grow more, the cycle of life and to retain perfect soil.
This Works Great 💖 I'm in an apartment and use this with my vertical compost tea because it gets full fast. 🙏
Thank you beautiful soul. I enjoyed watching this video. Now I will be binge watching your videos.
