Do you cut the bottom of the grow bag or do you just let it soak in the water without cutting any holes in the bottom?
No holes in the bags they breath!

OMG!! I can't have a garden where I am because of a shared yard with dogs, no digging up etc, I am on a limited budget too. The Walmart bags and kiddie pool are AWESOME! I am so excited now for even just a small "garden". Some tomatoes and cucumbers, butter crisp lettuce, I wonder what else I'll plant now lol. THANK YOU!!
laundry basket would be good also...with the fabric
An absolutely fab idea....I'm gonna try it!
hmmm... UV will destroy them pretty quick. In NZ thats the case for sure. How did your ones go?
a great suggestion thank you
@CaptainEO420 Hi can you tell me what kind of fabric did she use

Buddy you hit the nail on the head, my grandfather grew everything in burlap sacks. He explained this to me 20 years ago. He also said Ruts lol he would tell ya, he farmed all his life and when he couldn't run the equipment to plow and disk his garden he went to burlap sacks. Had he known how good it worked and how much less maintenance he needed when he got "dialed in" he would have done it that way from the start. Miss that guy he taught me so many great things lol Thanks for sparking those memories.
that's great, would like to hear some more of your grandfather's techniques.
Hi,i just watched your video & i use milk crates & vegetable crates that my local small food stores throw out after they stock there produce. i clean them with a light bleach. water mixture because no telling what could be on them anyways i line my crates with weed berrier & plant my plants in them they absolutely love it,i just tried it on potatoes & they are growing fast & well also this is the longest my potato plant's have lived lol so im very excited. I'm in zone 9a. your plants look awesome!!
What a great idea - thanks!
how big was the crate you grew your potatoes in? I'm in 9A zone also, I'm a beginner at gardening in this zone.
Stephanie Wallace hi Stephanie, thanks for sharing a very useful info. I want to try it... Can I use the shade clothes to line up the plastic crates? Please advise. Thnx
Lovely and l witch l am doing it right now . preparation and ideas of growing managing farming aren't eating breadn butter .but when accomplished they become bread and.........
Great job Larry! My concern, for myself, is using buckets that aren't food grade plastics or bag (Walmart etc)that can leach dies. I know you lined the buckets with landscape cloth which may contain toxic plastics. Plastics with the triangle symbol and numbers 3, 6 or 7 should never be used. Numbers 1, 2, 4 or 5 are totally safe.

Explaining the basics like you did well in this video allows your viewers to then run with those ideas and possibly improve on what you've already done. I enjoy your videos the most when you go over the "whys" of what you do, not just the "hows". Thanks a million, fellow Minnesotan.
Now I finally understand the point of these heavy fabric "grow bags". I looked at them when I first saw them and thought: Now that's just stupid, why would anyone use these, growing stuff in them will never work because it isn't watertight.
Thank you, Mr. Larry Hall, for sharing this video and your information and experience, and greetings from all the way over in south-eastern Austria, Europe.
Mir ist es auch so ergangen!! ^^/
I used grow bags as a brand new gardener, and have had great results. Nothing failed me, which as a first year, I did expect some failures.
Started gardening last year and have learned much since I started. One thing I have learned is the non woven grow bags definitely work better than solid pots or buckets. My potatoes, beans, and peas have done much better. I now am planting everything I can in grow bags.
Have you tried using milk crates ? They already have the holes in them.
good thought I have several milk crates
That’s brilliant! Thank you!!!
Or a tall clothes hamper
Tessa Rabago THATS what I ended up getting! There is a hamper at Walmart that is perfect! Cost me 7 bux which is cheaper than a traditional one that size! I can’t believe how easy it is! My thumb is so black, I used to kill plants before the seed even had a chance to sprout! Lol!
@@MrJaxparadize that's awesome! I'm going to go to dollar tree (they sell $5 dollar ones there now), and see if I can make some food magic as well lol I have 2 black thumbs too lol
wow your ruts are nuts
Just when I thought I'd seen all the trends in gardening I came across your channel & subscribed. I'm just starting out with almost no budget and a real need to grow our own food, as we live in a "food desert". What money I can save on wood planters can now be rerouted to soil amendments, mulch, organic fertilizer, fencing, netting and shade fabric. Thank you for posting this! Blessings to you and yours and all who read this!
Hope all is well and your garden is flourishing.
All the best wishes for such thoughtfulness
i saw a video about ancient brazilian farm fields - they discovered charcoal in large amounts in the soil - reportedly it increases production by over 1/3
I recently saw something on this too. The technical name is biochar.
WOW, that is so cool! thank so much for your wisdom. if you in Minnesota can succeed so can this northern Illinois southern Wisconsin resident. My fear was our hardy cold weather climate. once again thank you.❤🌿
Your half right and half wrong..... Fabric bags allow more oxygen to the root structure, good for the plant. However the air does not prune the roots, it's the uv light that trims the roots, when the roots get near of poking threw the bag the uv light kills the tips of the roots before it can poke all the way threw, so it's light pruning...…..
Nonsense. It works under grow lights too, and those have no UV.
Both light and air would prune roots make sense too.
Take a drink every time he says Rut! You'l be plastered!! Loved the video! Gonna try it out this summer! Ill try 3 in air pruning pots and 3 in my normal pots and see who whens. :)
Might need to put it at .5 speed or slower LOL
Did you ever do the side-by-side by side comparison? how did they turn out?
Fantastic video, lots of great tips. Question: After making holes in the bucket, what kind of material do you use to contain the soil? How do you make it or is it readily available. Thanks!

I love this idea.😊. I’m definitely trying it. But Fabric bags grows icky green mold around the bags 🤮 gross 🤮 and
Thanks for the video, very nice. Did you have any concern in growing in the walmart bags, like chemicals leeching in to the soil? Might be a paranoid thought, but I do not know what they are made from, or the dye.
@ mongolioose-Not paranoid at all, spot on! Those bags are loaded with toxic chemicals. Also, all plastic used should be ‘food grade’ (no BPA..) unless it’s just for flowers of course.
I'm intrigued with your grow bag system (and air pruning). Have you tried to combine this system with mycorrhizae fungi in order to get even nutrition out of your potting mix? Man! I love your experimenting.
That's a phenomenal difference! Thank you for sharing! I'm a beginner gardener and always looking for ways to do things better and more efficiently. I'm so grateful for knowledgeable people like yourself who are willing to share your wisdom.

Doggone it, wish I'd found this before I planted everything 😒 but at least I'll have it next year!!
Hello Larry, I understand that this is an older video but recently I have watched th-cam.com/video/47qiwqKRef0/w-d-xo.html (yes, it is in French but it has English subtitles which are very well written). The cell from that video sends it's "roots" to search the surroundings for the available food sources and later thickens the connections which bring "food". The plants have multiple types of roots. The thin ones develop first and search for food. I think that the air pruning works because in contact with air the thin roots discover the boundaries of the container due to the difference in humidity and after the mapping is complete the plant goes into "reproduction mode" (flowers/fruits) with the available resources. If this supposition is correct your technique makes a lot of sense because that's what we do as humans as well. As soon as we find what we need, even if it is not much, we try to settle and make it work with what we have the best we can.
it would have been nice if you showed us the technique how you pour your soil into these things without everything spilling out!
Thank you Larry, I have a terrace garden. I have been trying different methods of gardening. Your ideas of pop bottle self watering gardening is great it will work well here in India, Rajasthan which is a desert land. Also I would be able to teach the slum dwellers how to have a chip garden since pop bottles are cheap and affordable. Thank you also for sharing about air pruning. Your ideas will greatly help improve my gardening. Anima Martins.

Anima Martins good luck with inspiring your neighbors. You sound like a wonderful humanitarian.
If you live in desert are you familiar with swales. Check it out, transform your desert to iasis over time
This method works, I've tried it before too. But the drawback is the increased speed of moisture loss, you'd have to water more than once a day. At least at dry parts of the country.
Great concept - I am going to consider growing a tomato or two in those Wal Mart bags just to see how it does! Thanks for the idea!
Nice Larry... also great rain gutter system...

Hey buddy I must say you have a knack for making interesting videos, those tobacco plants really are extraordinary not the same old same old... I would love to do some fishing up there ...
Come on up!
I tried this exact system. My plants are dwarfed and not producing well. I live in Montana were it's very arrid. I wondering if I'm losing too much moisture. The only plant proliferating is my lavender plant which is not in one of the buckets. This may work in some cases but certainly not all.
Great information Larry! If you are going to container garden I am sold on air pruning !
Man this was the most useful gardening video I’ve watched all week. Thank you!
Thanks!
Larry, this is the best air pruning/grow bag video I've come across yet. Practical, to the point, showing stages of what you are talking about, from your own experience and what you have seen in the industry, your genuine excitement with the results with the goal of helping others. Thank you:)
I was skeptical of this at first but after I saw my plants improving I was just so thankful to you for posting it.
This is good information. I have great success growing in containers but I think developing another system where the roots can be exposed to air would be great. The only problem I have it the clay pots I have (which are very porous, but allow air into the root system) crack easily. I would like something attractive, economical, while allowing air to the roots. This video has inspired me! :))

Rainbow Gardens You didn't say how big you pot is. Clay pot that is. If you want to try the air system, before filling the clay pot with your favorite soil, take some landscape fabric and cut a piece that will go around the inside of the clay pot, and overlap it. Then, in relation to the pot, get some thick sticks that will go from top to bottom, maybe 1" or 2" thick and put them in between the landscape fabric and the pot. When putting the soil in try not to pack it around it to tight so the air will go to the bottom of the pot. You might have to put 2 or 3 sticks in to keep the soil from packing around it and cutting off the air. Give it a shot and see if that works for you and keep an eye on it and you just might think of a better fix than that but that might get you started. Good Luck, and Gardening............Namaste.............................
this is the most inovative thing i have seen in a long, long time. i'll do this this year. thanks !

You can even buy a cheap laundry hamper at walmart or some of the Dollar Tree bins that already have holes in them. I use a small laundry hamper with ready made holes for growing my strawberries too.
Hey excellent results . Do you think clay pot will do air pruning by itself ( without any air pruning holes )
I think the holes look really cute too. :) Wondering if using laundry baskets would work out as well. Not sure about those plastic's for growing in though.
Yes lots of people have used the laundry buckets with great success! Thanks for watching my video! I appreciate that! Check out all my most popular videos by category on Pinterest! www.pinterest.com/larryhall50/
BeckieGetsCrafty Just try to make sure that the sides are not to flimsy, cause they have to deal with the weight but they should work great. Great Gardening to You...........Namaste...............................

I have used the laundry baskets for strawberry plants,they have grown great
i have grown things in buckets i have punched holes in the side i leave the bottom because i have a water supply problem and my things grow very well .....tomatoes, tumeric, ginger, bell peppers with success i failed with the white yams i think the soil was too thick i need to make it lighter i have some thing for that....
My grandma uses coconut husk for air pruning. It works great and plants are happy.
How did she use it?
What was her method, I'm very curious.
how about milk cases lined with the fabric
Great video. Good info. You say 'root' funny :D
He rhymes it with foot, rather than boot. Not sure what accent this is.
Ill try this with canabis yeahh !
I've been using air pruning containers (both bought and homemade) for 13 years. I won't use regular containers anymore. Air pruning makes my plants very happy, which makes me very happy!
Do you think clay pots does air pruning by itself ? Is it the same way you do the air pruning
RAM KUMAR no, stay away from all clay pots!
@@WickedG5150 why to stary way ? . What about Jute Bags
jonassx100 they are unable to prune the roots(non porous), thats why you get root bound plants. Get a Root Pouch! Look them up! They are incredibly good. Cheers:)
have you seen a greater water usage? Seems like evaporative loss would be greatly increased.
This method is true but you have to water them everyday sometimes multiple waterings daily.
BigMacBook1300 no you don’t it is totally automatic
How is it automatic?
This is not viable in a hot climate. I have to water every damn day (gallons per plant) in heavy soil with the soil covered.
There's no possible way to water this design enough in a container exposed like this. It would take at least 3 times per day and I bet the plant still dies.
I was wondering how this would do in Texas I think I just got my answer.
I’m in Texas and actually going to start a few grow bags in a container of water. I’ll let you know how it goes!
God I love how you say ruts

I find it annoying, but every other word he says is clear, concise and excellent information. So glad to come across this video.
Great idea I'm going to try this with milk creates
I wear buts on my feet!
You're wrong for this 😂🤣😅
Larry, people are saying you have to have a 15- 20 gallon grow bag for tomatoes. Is that your experience? it looks like your tomatoes do well in smaller containers... i have 5 gallon buckets with holes I could use
I believe it is more about aeration than root pruning. Roots need oxygen for respiration, period. But your bags will leak moisture too, so you end up using more water. A better solution is to use a bigger pot.
I think the point is you can use a 5 gallon bucket instead of a 20 gallon bucket or whatever the plants max root size would demand. If you want to plant your tomatoes in a bunch of comically large pots go ahead.

A clear and fascinating video on the topic, I’m absolutely sold on the idea now. Great stuff sir 👍
Seems like this would cost more
Just just using a fabric bag
This is great. I've been getting into gardening & reading a lot about air pruning & how nurseries tend to have these non correctable root issues with trees & shrubs due to the plastic pots. I love the Walmart reusable bags idea, much cheaper than the fabric grow bags. Thanks!
Love this idea💜💜
I bought a burlap bag at tractor supply the other day. Is that a good choice for this? I’ve got a few zucchini plants that aren’t doing as good as they could be.
Great stuff no doubt... I even have raised beds for my gardening and I've been watching video after video about this that and the other thing but it just hit me what ever happened to grow in a garden into the ground I get it it's easier Les weed story about practically no weeds but still... When I was young I love to get my tiller and dig up the ground with it smell the Earth God's beautiful Earth

Drill 3mm holes all around your plastic pots 8-10mm spacing they don't bend then when you move them , works just as well if not better and they last forever.
These buckets are not only effective, but they look cool too! I am doing this for sure. Great job Larry!
i use my old plastic containers
and cut holes in them.
i use a razor knife and make 1/2 in cuts
best resultts, make 2 cuts 1/16in apart
it acts like a larger hole, but keeps the soil in.
i make about 20 double-cuts (40 in all) in each 3 gal container.

Hi Larry from Britain,
I'm going to build a rain gutter system in my green house this year for my tomatoes. I'm going to feed it off a header tank with a half strength tomatoe feed mixed in. Would this type of pruning work with the humidity caused by the rain gutter system keeping the humidity levels up by the water evaporating?
Thanks for the informative video.
Regards,
Bill.
Thanks for the video. Lary I gotta tell ya I'm gonna give it a try here on the east coast of the uk it's gotta worth a go hasn't it. Loving your corn results. Take care buddy keep the vids coming I love to watch your vids very helpfull and full of great ideas and tips,Cheers,Chris
I am trying grow bags for the first time this year. Thank you for your knowledge!
What are ruts? Is he saying ruts or roots?
so if i can get pp 5 plastic(pot grade plastic) laundry baskets of 27 liters for 4 bucks i should stock up?
Larry,
I'm not having much success with self wicking bucket gardening. Are you still as enthusiastic about the bucket self-watering concept or have you returned to more conventional raised gardening?
Sincerely,
Doris
I am guessing your garden is not in drought zone like Southern California. Do you have any suggestion for us?
Wick watering uses much less than a drip system and delivers just the right amount.
So what is air pruning.. still confused.. so there is no pruning involved?
msbravewyn I’m also waiting for the “pruning”🤷🏼♀️. I’m pretty sure the term “pruning” is misused.
I'm in North Alabama and thinking about trying to a couple of varieties of blueberry bushes in containers using the self watering system an the air pruning method.
Has anyone had luck growing berry bushes like this?
Interesting...but tell me with all those holes, what happens when u water the plant? Won't the water drain right away thru those holes and never getting to the roots that are at the bottom or dead center?
Water slowly
What a hoot, or should I say what a hut!!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
thanks so much. i ran out of room as i couldnt plant my potatoes tomatoes beans cucumbers and corn too close to each other, i kept trying to get yogurt containers (we dont use much dairy) was trying to think of other methods. im trying this with my corn now! and hopefully my tomatoes as well
How do you feed it? just add compost on top similar to planting in the ground?
Thank you Larry for sharing this very useful information, highly appreciated 😊
what are the walmart bags made of?
Wonder how he pronounces routes?
I am definitely trying this
oh no i hate Rut bound plants!
I plan to use this air pruning system in 5 gal. buckets + 5 gal. reservoirs below, wicking up thru a hole in the bottom. I am looking for the best wick. Since no one is doing this, I am on my own. If I find a wick I will not have to water for weeks, in some cases, months.
I have heard to use synthetic for a wick, but people have done cotton rope and cotton shirts. You can also buy plant wicks. What I think may be the best is to use both cotton and synthetic. The cotton probably wicks better but the synthetic should last longer. For a test, I used Yarn for a little houseplant and it seems to be working better than manual watering and is the healthiest houseplant I have. I started another test using 6 strands of cotton twine and 1 strand of yarn (since I ran out of yarn) about 4 days ago. So far, I am loving it, because I don't have to figure out when to water, i just wait until the water level decreases and add water to it.
My only advice for a setup, is to wick from the bottom, because I have seen pictures of people with "ideas" where they have a container of water up high and run strings down to their plants (and to me, that looks like it would drain gallons of water a day for tiny plants, flooding them, but that is just based on how gravity and siphoning works, I haven't tested this).
I am NOW considering trying to merge Bottom Wick and Air Pruning and see how that turns out.
Cotton rots. It "might" last a season. I plan for years. I am wicking for a tomato plant that needs gallons a day, so I use a 1.5" rope. Commercial plant wicks I researched are just shoe laces. I had to spend many hours reading & thinking, then I bought ropes & tested.
What type of grow bag would you use when putting it into a bucket?
Lovely polka dots pots ...
food and water, sun light , right temps, anything will grow any where

Hallo Larry. Thankyou 🙏 for sharing your experince.
Be Blessed with Posperity Hapiness and a long Healthy Life.
Greetings from Austria 💐💋
I have been really looking into this with potato towers... i researched harvest vids... those that had wooden 4 foot tall potato towers with no holes all had very very very poor harvests... found a lady on youtube growing them in tall plastic trash bins with lots of holes in them... she had amazing harvests. She filled 1.5 X 5 gallon buckets with potatoes per garbage can. Harvest time speaks volumes.
I am going to give it a try also this season. I have a small yard and have had poor results growing anything. You make it look easy Larry :)
You’re like me constantly improving things I like the way you thought of this too I’m gonna do it I was thinking of using in Mill Creek they have a few of those around but I also have some buckets and a few parts that need some holes in the sides now I also saw some lady is a laundry basket and I have for some reason an abundance of those as well
I'm copying this
d it works wonderfully.
The only problem is nothing is ‘food grade’ here, lots of toxic chemicals in those bags & buckets leaching into the soil & food you’ll eat. The fix: food grade buckets from box stores, & 100% cotton fabric (no dyes). 👍🏼
Wow This is honestly one of the best video's on the subject I have seen. I have found myself caught on the self watering 5 gallon pots because of time constraints, But maybe? Watering could give way to air pruning if it would improve my results. Strangely I wonder why my ground growing which doesn't have the air pruning ability grows so well?
Thanks for this, Larry! My spouse and I recently got into indoor gardening(mostly flowers, and last night we planted over a dozen different kinds of beans). We have a chestnut tree we planted from a seed a couple weeks ago that has already sprouted and is about a foot tall now, and we've been worried about having a big enough pot. The air pruning seems like it will be a really good system until it is ready to be moved outside. This will also help with everything else we are growing. Again, thanks a lot!
Question from Michigan. I am planning on planting transplant Northern Red Oaks (caliper 1/4" - tap root 3"-4") in a bag system. I plan on letting them stay for a season or two in bags to develop into a sell able tree. What size bag would you recommend?
I just started doing this. Great idea. Thanks man. ❤❤❤😊😊
what about jute bag
Galvanized steel mesh or expanded metal or chainlink fence mesh basket, and then line with polypropylene filter geotextile.
