I'm taking a break from the kitchen today because growing food has brought me a lot of peace throughout the lockdown. It's kinda like Animal Crossing, but you get to eat your turnips. As someone who's tried hydroponics, raised beds, and in-ground gardening, I like SIPs because I don't have to water or feed them very often, even in the middle of a Phoenix summer. Less time irrigating means more time looking at cool flowers, weird bugs, and interesting growing patterns. Give it a try xoxo luv shaq
Dude. You seriously should be an icon. Great info! Keep posting more content! If you can/have time lol.
Bruh.
I love you.
*Goes to Home Depot*
(You can eat the turnips in Animal Crossing) ;) Cool video though. I cant wait to live somewhere with a back yard where I can do stuff like this.
It’s cool to hear you’re into Animal Crossing too! Who’s your favorite villager?
Great video shaq, I may give this a try!
Dude is like PBS in the 90s straight to the point, fun and informative.

I've decided to check out Leon, and it turns out that his greenhouse is in the same town my dad lives in! In his video he mentions the "only traffic light in Kingston," and the directions to his greenhouse, and I've passed that greenhouse countless times. Now I gotta go meet this man.
Did you meet him?

Thanks, dude, gonna try this sometime. I just started growing habaneros, since I moved from Moscow to the countryside for that simple life. Not only it is my first time growing stuff, it will be the first time I get to taste habaneros, since they are not at all popular in Russia, only coming in Tabasco sauce form. Looking forward to more of both your cooking and farming videos

You have ruined me, other youtube cooking content just can't compete anymore, besides maybe Alton Brown. I eagerly await the June video.
Serious Eats, Chefsteps.
J. Kenji López-Alt and Joshua Weissman as well, for me at least.
@@Cynt3r really like Joshua's early stuff. His new stuff feels a little more trendchasey, but it seems to be working for him numbers wise. Same thing happened to Alex french guy cooking
TZerot0 Yeah I can agree with that, some of his episodes are like that for sure, same with Alex.
But I think they’re still passionate about it, which is what makes it worth watching.
I think that’s what happens when you do TH-cam fulltime, you have to play the ”youtube game” to satisfy the algorithm and whatnot
Definitely check out J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's GoPro videos. The guy's chill, funny, and super knowledgeable about food - plus the POV-style camera is better for demonstrating technique than any other cooking shows I've seen.

Yes
That is an understatement Mr. Rudd...

Internet Shaquile needs to overflow my hole with his pipe. YASSSS DADDY
Wtf
"Trust me, six inches is the sweet spot."
he could stick his green thumb in my flower pot any day
Linked video is private.
"6 inches is the sweetspot" if only I could have convinced my ex about this statement
@Gianfranco
I’m glad I’m not the only one with my brain in the gutter when he said that… I was thinking of making a comment similar to yours, but mine was going to be, “I can’t say I agree with you - I am a female and I find that a good 7 inches is what hits that sweet spot.“ ;)
I think a diameter of six inches is just exaggerated.

I edited the very beginning of my comment - perhaps you’ll find it easier to get my joke now.

Could this man get any more perfect?
He really is The Shaq of the Internet!!!
dude this is educational, concise, free, and extremely entertaining. just thank you, that is all. thanks.
It's super awesome that your boosting smaller channels and that you're spreading gardening knowledge! Gardening is so great to get into for peace, a sense of accomplishment, and self sustaining. In these uncertain times, it's a great way that people in food deserts can sustain themselves. Growing up poor, if we didn't have plants in our house, sometimes we didn't eat. I appreciate this, and all you're doing!
Not too long ago his channel was much much bigger than mine :)
@@internetshaquille Ah! Yeah, the algorithm is a fickle thing. :/ Regardless, I'm glad you shared it, because I'm definitely enjoying his channel!! 😁
ok but does this work for growing cannabis?

shaq is totally in a spin off universe with babish
@@gabbykingmusic nah babish sold out tbh. He got the bag though but i dont see the same level of appeal as he used to have.
@@carmeloshin Ol baby always was ripping off recipes and putting them in a nice wrapper with quality voice over. He stole like half of Kanji's classics in the first year or two.
@@carmeloshin yeah thats true, cant blame him for just wanting money, its gotta be a pretty good life working for yourself and earning that much
@@andYz00m shaq himself said almost all of the recipes aren't his. You can always add your own twist, and there's a semi finite way of making specific dishes that still taste good/resemble the dish they're supposed to be. Babs a good guy, he's passionate about cooking and showing people how to do it. He's gotten a little ritzy since he blew up, but can't blame him. I'd be buying all sorts of fancy food equipment and some nice stuff if I got rich.
Almost 6 minute Shaq video = 1 wikipedia of information
Ok, that's creepy - I literally just bought some veggies and a few buckets to try container gardening today. Looks like I have to go back to the hardware store.
It never is just one trip to the hardware store. Good luck with your growing endeavor!
perlite has a significant negative impact on the environment, a sustainable and renewable alternative is rice husks and/or small rocks mixed through the soil (roots love to "grab" onto them and create extra reservoirs to drink from). glad to see you continue to encourage people to garden, you're a g
I switched to pumice instead of perlite. Mostly because I find perlite completely annoying, but also because I've heard pumice is better.
It would be awesome to see the steps written out in the description so I have a quick handy list to use when shopping at my local whatever. Same goes for recipes, I spend a lot of time scrubbing through the video trying to find the exact moment of you saying "Use X amount of X" and then writing it down. Would be super handy!
Awesome stuff though, I refer to these videos more often than you would ever believe so thank you :^)
Couple tips on planting I learned through some summers working at a greenhouse:
Don’t push the soil down. If it’s too compacted your plant is gonna have a hard time pushing roots down. Use a good watering to help loose soil settle down without smashing your plant to death
If repotting, be sure to score the root ball. We would just take a sharp shovel and make a couple light cuts. The cuts encourage your plant to make more roots quicker
came here to say this ! sometimes while repotting you will notice that your original plant in its small pot has its roots all tangled and compact, you need to "untangle" it before repotting. otherwise, no matter how good and welcoming your new setup is for the plant, the root might just never grow and the plant might die.
it's often the case when you buy cheap basil, learnt that the hard way
cheers
@@ulysco_ shit I just repotted a cheap basil from the supermarket a couple days ago to a bigger vase. The roots had grown all around the old vase so it was very compact with them. I wonder if I can still "untangle" them
roots are so crazy, you'll be like cycling along a tarmac road that seems rigid as hell and then this one little tree to the side is pushing up the whole damn road with it's roots? they move so slowly, how do they have the strength to push the tarmac up? trees are strong, don't skip root day
It's precisely because they move so slow that they are so strong. You know when you're pulling a trailer so you shift to a lower gear? Or when you're using a crowbar to pry something? Slower means stronger.
@@fergochan so you're saying i could push against a concrete wall, but slowly, and eventually i'll crack it / break the wall?
@@aaronharding3695 hmm... realistically you'd need some leverage, like a crowbar or some gears. I guess the story with roots is more to do with the pressure inside the plant cells in addition to the slowness. The slowness just means that they don't need a lot of power to push with a huge force.

I already know I'm going to look back at this video in a year and see how much it has changed my life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, along with boosting those who helped you along the way. 😁 So excited to try this out.
How did it turn out? =)
I'm gona do a line of soil now
FUCKYEAH
Boof the perlite next!
I did more than one line of soil btw 😉
I'm gonna use this to grow jazz cigarettes
How can I make soil flavored ice cream?
damn i do love the smell of really nice soil

Also Shaq: YEAH de meaning of life 🤙
ps: love the videos shaq
Damn bro, we are on the same wavelength. Spooky. Been planning a raised garden and was looking into hydroponics, but this is just what I needed to see. Thanks so much and for the recommendation, too!

I've litteraly learned more on this channel in the last 2 days than ....ever. on any other channel. So crazy.
Just a heads up the link to Leon's page seems to be broken.
At the end when he started giving us tips I thought it was gonna be an ad for coursera or something à but no it was actually useful Holy shit I love this dude
Shaq, legit question. As Home Depot buckets aren’t food safe are you worried at all about plastic leaching into your soil/food? Where I live it gets very hot and humid during the summer and I worry about using buckets for this purpose or for composting, especially for food I’m going to eat.
I just started growing in 5 gallon buckets this year, inspired by your set up. Just ordered the drain pipe and excited to expand!
Idk I watch this even though my apartment absolutely has no space for any sort of gardening
holy shit i just started searching for good gardening practices in the ol' southwest desert yesterday and then here comes mr. Shaq to come save me once again, thank ya
I just bought seeds for some plants and I feel like you're my FBI agent now-
how the fuck do you get so charismatic? I know this isn't about the video but please. I want to be as charming as you are
WHAT I almost didn’t post this one I felt so boring and monotonous
i’m very confused, what’s the benefits of making these rather than just planting in pots and making sure they’re watered
Its so you don't accidentally over-water the plant and so you can more easily introduce nutrients to the plant.
did you have an issue with the pearlite coming out the drain hole ?
those eyebrows make me want to risk it all
Straight to the point, informative and entertaining as always!
Pobody's nerfect, but you're pretty close!
Nerf or nothing
Is metal ok if you live in a temperate climate? Most bases I've seen sold are ceramic, is that ok?
Anything water-tight is fine. I just prefer plastic personally
Was looking on building a raised garden bed with sub irrigation, but couldn't wrap my head around how everything works together. This was a super simple breakdown, bravo!
I hate you. You owe me 6 hours of my life. I fell into a rabbit hole with Leon's videos ... I can't quit!
clicked on this video after seeing your face on the thumbnail, not knowing what its going to be about. I'll watch anything you post.
I love this channel!! Keep up the great work bro,!!💯💯💪🏽🙏🏾
I know he has a gf. I'm sure he would lean the other way.
Does this work for growing weed
hells yeah, my favorite TH-cam mentioning horticulture, my favorite thing
The hardest part of gardening is finding good advice.
Whenever I look up anything about gardening, the advice is very complicated, unintuitive, requires prior knowledge or is not applicable to me.
Like for example, when I was looking up how to deal with aphids. Tons of info out there on how to get rid of them. So I tried to. Until I came across an old guy with a gardening channel who explained in a very straightforward way that you shouldnt get rid of them, they are simply an indicator of too much nitrogen fertilization. They actually help, by sucking out the excess nitrogen and not letting your plants grow excessively.
Of course he's the only guy out there that I can find who is saying that. Lots of contradicting info out there... But my money is on the old guy. He said it took him 5 years to internalize that pests are just symptoms, not the actual problem
ferpect miting!
So umm... you got a brother? 😅😂

total zucchead is the name of my new indie rockband
I did this because of your video. Keep posting interesting stuff. Thanks for not putting up videos of just spitting out meal instructions from the back of the bag.
What the hell, dude? I just started looking into doing home gardening and you pop up with a video on it. Also, howdy from a fellow Hellizonian.
Once that there lemone tree ya done mentioned in brb gets a'cranking, are you gon' be educating some folks how easy lemon curd is to make yaself, or are you gon' keep using that Dickinson's Curd? $6 a pop for a decent sized jar isn't bad, but it's dead easy to make in a pinch.
Can’t find 6in drainage pipe anywhere, would 4 work? Or another option?
You are better than the president, so why not perform better than him? If you advise "wear a mask and don't breathe in the dust" you should indeed wear a mask. Many people look hotter wearing a mask. Set a good example.
This is awesome. I've got two raised beds in my backyard (Phoenix native as well), and they're going through hell in the heat. Definitely doing this! Thanks Shaq!
Love you Mr. Shaquille
When you said "Gardening with Leon" I immediately thought Leon Lush had a gardening channel.
What can’t this man do? Shit, he’s gonna be showing us how to lay down the pipe one of these days
I'm trying to make a flat vertical self-irrigating plant wall and boy oh boy it's not what I've been looking for kek
"Say No to Lean."
But how am I supposed to ask the rich to pay for it and fuck off at the same time? This is a conundrum.
so much plastic! but after clicking around a little bit, it seems normal in the usa. love your tips and vids though
Why are you trying so hard to make my life better! Thank you! You rock!
So...the hole is drilled through the fabric into the pipe?
no the fabric is already porous
@@internetshaquille Ah okay, that's what I figured I just wasn't sure if the hole in the side goes through the side of the tub AND the tube but that makes way more sense. thanks man, gotta figure out what I can grow in heavy shade but I'm hoping I can at least get some herbs going. Much appreciated!
Daddy posted a new video! It’s a great day
Thanks dad
Can confirm - Fox Farms' Ocean Forest soil is good stuff.
I can't believe he threw in a Will It Blend? reference.
I love this man.
that damn mf CREDIT at the beginning of the video -- we like
THANK YOU. I GIVE THANKS TO YOU. YOU ARE THANKED NOW. FEEL THANKED BY ME NOW.
Does this mean the soil is flooded with water up to the drain hole? What is the point of the empty drain tube if the soil is going to be saturated anyway?
are there not pre-built planters with reservoirs etc built-in? seems like there is a lot of waste involved in the setup.
Im gonna grow weed with this
Lol 😂
Leon used five empty cans instead of pipe. Leon is a fucking legend.
Can I do this to grow pot or is this food exclusive
it’s good for most plants. You wouldn’t wanna do something like a cactus or succulent.
Dude you look JUST like Ben Shapiro!
Thank you for giving me a new gardening channel!

TRY IT!
Every one knows that 8inches I'd the sweet spot, so 8 inches it is!
Is there something else you could use instead of the perforated pipe if you don't want to buy 10 feet of it in order to try this out?
Yes. Leon shows how you can use old soda bottles, cans, or plastic jugs
