Excellent tour of your garden. I'm in central Texas where is has been super hot and without rain for a few months now. I'm off grid and only use rain harvested water. It's been rough keeping my in-ground raised bed garden alive and my water supply is running low. I'm now setting up wicking buckets in the hopes of conserving water. I appreciate all the detail you gave and I hope to use your information to get mine to produce. Blessings to you and your lovely family.
Good to hear. I'm still learning on what type of plants grow well on them. Soil gets spent fast so take care adding new soil, compost and nutrients, Neglect those and surely the plant will suffer too. I learned this by being lazy. Good luck gardening.
To help you out with your plants food while planting place a few fish in your grow bucket add 😉 some coffee grind 😉 to keep your smell down then fill with the good soil
Loved your garden and appreciate the tour! This is my 2nd season with self-wicking containers with pots and buckets. I really like it. I was wondering how did you secure the chicken wire to the buckets?
I recently uprooted a couple of buckets and saw the root ball is prolific with center root system growing long and deep into the tub. The health of the plant was dependent on the soil quality. In conclusion, I will continue to use air pruning.
Hey Carlos! I cannot wait for trout season to start back up in the Bay Area, do you know where I can find stocking reports and up to date fishing reports for places around fremont like, Quarry Lakes and Lake Chabot? Any help would be awesome, Thanks!
East Bay Park District has a fishing site called Anglers Edge and of course the state has one too. Just Google it. With Covid restrictions, postings are not really accurate unfortunately. So as far as I know, no trout stocking has happened yet. Thanks for watching.
I find the Kellogg organic potting soil as an ok medium to use but I add coco-coir, worm castings and top it with Kellogg Garden Soil as mulch. I do amend the soil with wood ash, organic fertilizer (2-4-3), garden lime, bone meal, dried fish emulsion extract, mineral sea salt, and epsom salt depending on what plant I will grow. Thanks for watching.
You need to get yourself Fox farms soils get Strawberryfields style it's truly a hot blend 👌 meaning package with excellent quality grow nutrients for every bag you can mix 2 bags with it any other soil that you have and truly trust me you will see 👀 how important it is for running good 👍 soil
I've grown this way now for 3rd year and truly love it
I'm still learning what plants like this setup.

What is your conclusion about holes in the tub to do root pruning in wicking tubs? Is it worth it? Does it work, compared to solid-side tubs?

@@anglerslifestyle4321 Thanks for that advice. I'll get my drill out and get to work.
Great info. How far above the drain hole for the SIP did you start your root-pruning holes? 2, 3, 4 inches?
Cool video, what the size of those buckets?
5 gallon, HDPE food grade types.
Do you use the fertilizer that Mr. Leon suggest every time you water?
I don't. Mr Leon uses synthetic fertilizer and I want to stay organic. The penalties are slower and smaller growth. Thanks for watching.
