Danggggg . Wish I seen this yesterday.. just planted yesterday. My 1st time ever doing this and thought I read and watched enough. Well we live and learn
Hi Luke, Glad to see you finally have a Australian product the Vegepod. They are great. It would have been great to mention that people who want a vegetable garden who live in apartments, or who are dealing with possums, rabbits, rats or deers. Can now protect and finally have a decent growing vegetable garden. Also did you mention the watering system of the wick? My Vegepod in summer, I don't water at all for nearly month and longer in winter. Also, sorry I have to disagree with you. I have achieved plants like capsicum plant, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, eggplants . There is a video somewhere on TH-cam how to even grow vine tomatoe in your Vegepod. I have also grown carrots, zucchini plant, cucumber plant, strawberry plants. Also many different herbs. I have 2 small Vegepod for a small patio. Note: I dont plant them all at the same time. It has been rotating for the last 3 years since I got my Vegepod. Be a little bit more creative with your Vegepod, especially that you have the large size. You will be suprised what grows in there. Love your channel
Just an idea of another way to enjoy swiss chard ribs. I slice them up, sautee with onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add leaves once ribs are almost tender. Delicious.
I’m permanently disabled, but still get out in the garden sitting on my my walker. Would love to get my hands on one of those vegepods, but they’re a out of my price range. I managed, with help from my wife, to build and fill eight just above the knee high raised beds, and I’m also growing in about 45 five gallon buckets and in a couple of sizes of smart pots.
I get lucky because with soil because where I work we get broken bags of the good stuff and the manager basically wants to get rid of them at a very low price. 2 cubic foot bag regularly 9.99 for a dollar or 2.
Thanks ! I just got a Vege pod ! For my May birthday ! All my seeds germinated inside this March ! I have more seedlings in my house than I can imagine ! But it’s May 1St almost and I just put me seedlings in the Vege pod ! I have not filled my Vege pod yet, so thx for your intel ! I have to fill it, so thx for the info 😍😍😍! Coming from Cleveland Ohio! Sorry mr MI GO BUCKEYES ! Lol 😂
My favorite chard recipe is to slice it up into thin strips, and small bite size pieces for the stem, heat it in a large pan with some olive oil until it just starts to crisp, then toss with a pinch of salt, red pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice. :)
First time viewer.. I'm in AZ.. first time trying a garden.. it's been interesting.. I'm learning g a lot. When to plant things.. how to plant.. space needed are many of the questions I'm sorting out. My lettuce has bolted so I'm cutting it down and seeing what happens . Lol. Also growing watermelon.. I'm using wicking pots.. letting the vines spread out over Rocky ground.. it's an adventure, I have no idea what's going to happen. The yellow squash and cucumbers and zucchini are growing fast, they are in watered above ground concrete gardens, and wicking pots. So far the self wicking pots are working well.. eventually want all my stuff in them. But my tomatoes plants are fading away after originally doing well .. and now something is eating them!!! Think it's birds . So netting is the the future. Thanks for info..
So my magic number is. Poting mix, garden soil and mushroom compost. Look for a bulk supplier that supplies landscapers, i did. I found prices mulch and dirt in port orange florida, i bought a cubic yard of 50/50 mixture of mushroom compost and soil for 45 bucks. Then i filled that mixture into my beds leaving room for potting mix, approx. 6 to 8 cubic feet per box. Kellogs raised garden bed porting mixture is 8.50 per 2 cu. Ft. Bag. Each box was about a cubic yard.
That’s what I did pretty much. You can’t touch bagged soil for the price and benefits of mushroom mulch. We have used it all over our property for years and years. I live in PA so I can buy it buy the truckload many places.
"Don't just throw a plant in because you have it (or want it)" is something that I've been trying to get my parents to realize with their garden. They don't realize that a terribly overgrown garden will be a sick one and one that will require a lot more maintenance than a carefully planned one.
Hi Smitty. No, I have not tried the pods. Oh, and another way to use radishes is to use a mandolin and slice them very thin. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder (whatever your flavor preference), and then bake at 400 degrees until they become "chips". Cooking/baking eliminates the heat. Kate
I have been wondering if the hood could be put on so it opens sideways. I have a really small garden with no room to dig out raised beds and the only way to get a vegepod on the level ground space I have would be if it had a side opening option. Thanks for showing that!
I grew a huge amount of swiss chard already this year.. all picked already. No joke, it is far sweeter and better then celery as he says with peanut butter. Kind of reminds me of mamoth sized beet greens because of the sweetness. I could barely give enough of it away i had so much and that was during spring. I revamped my garden (BTW you can dig up your garden and put them into pots temporarily) I dug it over a foot deep and put in chicken wire because our Grophers here in souther Cali are atrotious. The only thing they will not touch is my zucinni and squash. everything else was pulled from down under and eaten by the little critters. I used the gopher hawk on about 6 of them but there was too much food for them to spawn like little zerglings. All in all my garden is pumping out produce now. Thank God to chicken wire and a lot of back breaking shoveling. scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/61490023_10215312702230192_62443726357659648_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=AQlO4LPfMgS2rsP-Mtrc0RpER0pA-lsaSKhTkAQ60o6SAMwRts_QKqVBmJwUK0FkNro&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=52cb4e0e6ad1da378df0da8442aebb7d&oe=5D8ED99A
I love this guys videos! Do you think he'll ever do anything about beekeeping or get into it considering how much it effects the quality of fruits and vegetables?
The Vegepod is cool! You said you are allergic to celery I wonder if you are also sensitive to latex? How about bananas I have heard that those are all of the same species or whatever!! Their plants look very similar!!
Hey, Mr. Michigan gardener, how about you help my gardening, and I help your GRAMMAR??? Yes, I'm an old lady grammar policewoman. You said, at least twice in the last two minutes, "The first thing (I want to plant, am going to plant, whatever) ARE these shallots. ARE???? THe first thing ARE????? Are you getting my drift? The predicate, which is the verb, agrees in number with the subject, not with the object. So the first thing... IS these shallots. Thing IS. Not Thing ARE. And I always wet my soil before putting little baby plants in it.
omg such a huge fan. I'm 12 and I use your advice in my garden every day!
Wow! 12 awesome! Way to go! 🙂
Same I'm also 12!
Alex do you have a garden Alex? If so way to go! Better to grow your own food! 🙂
So glad other people my age garden.
jackson doll wow! You guys rock! You guys could start your own club!
Luke is the most wholesome person. More people need to get excited about onions.
Danggggg . Wish I seen this yesterday.. just planted yesterday. My 1st time ever doing this and thought I read and watched enough. Well we live and learn
I liked that we can see you spacing and planting the items. It’s a good visual reminder of your techniques :) thanks !

I love (and share) your passion, bro.

Seems like this would be great for those not able to bend down to the ground!

Great video, love watching all your videos. Learning so much. Thank you for making them
I love this channel so much 😩
I’m exactly like that. I just like to fill space but recently I’ve been just putting radishes in bare spaces
i used to grow Radishes but they all seem to hot - BUT if i let them go to seed - i Love the seed pods
If you do a fall planting rather than a spring planting, the radishes are not as hot. If you roast radishes, the heat goes away. Kate
@@TalkingThreadsMedia Never knew that - i will have to try it. Thank You, have you ever tried the seed pods?
Hi Smitty. No, I have not tried the pods. Oh, and another way to use radishes is to use a mandolin and slice them very thin. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder (whatever your flavor preference), and then bake at 400 degrees until they become "chips". Cooking/baking eliminates the heat. Kate
@@TalkingThreadsMedia That's a good idea, thank you. I don't really like radishes normally.
I have been wondering if the hood could be put on so it opens sideways. I have a really small garden with no room to dig out raised beds and the only way to get a vegepod on the level ground space I have would be if it had a side opening option. Thanks for showing that!
Can you grow cabbage for there leaves as well and not for the head. Like how you can grow head lettuce for there leaves?
Is there an update for how this worked? I was gifted a medium size one yesterday!!
Loved your posted, thank you.

I would plant purple pak choy in there. I was so excited to grow seeds from Baker Creek but the bugs have chewed the heck out of it.
Luke, I just discovered these beds. Are you still using it? I don't really seeing in in any of your videos.
"I'm not gonna try and dot he math on camera"
**promptly attempts to do the math on camera**
Any updated on your Vegepod?
That's a nice setup
Is your vegepod a small? That still looks quite large and I am fighting to figure out small or medium for a midsize terrace
This is a large vegepod. You can get one half the size
Great video, as always.
Hi. Do you think I can use the vegepod using hydroton instead of soil?
I love this guys videos! Do you think he'll ever do anything about beekeeping or get into it considering how much it effects the quality of fruits and vegetables?
Great video! Thanks for sharing :)
The organic compost they sell in NJ is $20 per bag!
Great video Luke! I love the channel!
Very nice set up 💚
Where you find the lilia green onions at those are really cool looking
Hi from SC Iowa. Can you use a bag of top soil in your beds ? I have 2-waist high beds. How much of bag of compost would I mix in ? New @ raised beds.
The Vegepod is cool! You said you are allergic to celery I wonder if you are also sensitive to latex? How about bananas I have heard that those are all of the same species or whatever!! Their plants look very similar!!
Are you still using your Vegepod?
Is there a video showing how to build vegepod?
What are your thoughts on mushroom compost from places like Home Depot or Menards?
Cool video👍👍
Would different types of radish fit in that bed?
how about an update on your vegepod?
Any updates?
Love that
Good video 👍✌️
I think that Luke's house is haunted. I swear that I just saw that door close with nobody there.
400$ vegepod lol that's a lot of green! 70$ for legs lol. 🤨
maybe u sell those red onions in your seed collection Mr luke?
8:58 ghost closing the door
I really like this vegepod! I can't bend down anymore, and that looks like about waist height.
@@sarahbartlett1196 I am extremely short. 🙂
Yeah it is 225 dollars
October 30th 2019 will have 500 k subscribers or more. Can I get some free seeds if I’m correct?
8:59 automatic door
Hope that wasn't city water you were putting on that soil.
Anyone notice the door shut lol
Oh my..I just commented on you having a veggie pod..then I found this vid...sigh
I am first again for the 2nd day in a row
U r a failure at ur one goal in life
@@jesseflowers2438 what is my one goal in life
@Sweet Peas ok😂
Luke I hate to break it you but your house (08:57) is haunted.
Fenton Panderghast he’s got a toddler lol
Kara Frolander lol!
Come on man - 10 x 25 would be 250. So 9 x 25 is 225. Not hard :-)
