I had success with my flowering Hibiscus in Arizona by sprinkling every Sunday a small 8 ounce cup of manure. In the Summer heat I put very very little because we reach SUPER High Heat. I found that it really helped. I thought in nature animals are always pooping next to plants. so I gave it a try.
How much did that box soil and amendments cost and the container etc. sure seems like a very high dollar for little bit of rice. I can see why farmers need more money. It’s a lot to grow rice. Thank you for posting this video
well good question. If you are trying to be self sustaining, growing rice in pots wont get you very far. you would def need to establish some in grounds areas to cultivate larger amounts. Realistically each one of these pots will produce enough for one meal, with veggies and a protein added.
I read somewhere that you can grow about 10lbs of rice in a 10’x10’ plot but I’d say you’d have to sow it fairly thick. It didn’t say how many plants per square ft which would have been more helpful honestly.
You left out some info: such as what varieties of rice work well in planters and of those which one is shown ? Should they be presoaked before sowing, and a test batch sprouted to ensure viability ? Also what are the do's and donts of rice you want to plant - obviously you want only unpolished rice, but what else ? Next: When do we harvest, how much yield does a planter provide ? How does harvesting work - drying, hulling, separation, etc.

We had ricefield before. It takes a lot of water to grow our rice, like 2 inch of water in the field for months until theyre mature. The soil is so watery that snails and leeches grow in it. And our parents pay kids to get the snails from the ricefield coz they munch on young rice plants.
Hi Brie, Where can I buy rice seeds at? And do they sell gluten free seeds 🤔 Thank you for sharing this video! Truly appreciate it! So glad I found you and I'm a new subscriber now! Yay 🎉
Hi! Good news is ALL rice is gluten free so you don’t need to search for a specific variety. As for sources- I’d check google. I’m not sure what seed suppliers have in stock these days.
@@BrieThePlantLady truly appreciate you taking your time to reply to me! ❤️ I had no idea all rice is gluten-free! That's definitely good news! Thank you 😊
yeah nah, don't keep rice over winter it takes too much water effort etc. it's kind of like sunflowers, maybe some types can last 2 years if you keep it warm give it water but usually it's not worth it
I just water as needed- the advantage of growing rice in pots with no holes is that you dont have to water very often, especially if you are getting a lot of rain, like we have lately.
Can you use a mixture of peat moss or coco coir and compost to help with moisture retention? I would think that would help but I’ve never grown rice before .
That is a good questions. I would say it is more about HOW you grow the rice vs the variety- but I may be wrong. I would grow it in containers- probably black pots with no holes toe ensure the soil gets warm enough for the rice to thrive. You may need to start it indoors since your growing season is shorter.
I am growing a small patch of hulless oats here in Australia, am planning to plant kamut wheat and rice among others, i have been uploading videos to youtube i would love to hear what you think some time, i have only just planted the oats but they seem to be starting to come up
Hi, do you think that it's possible that we grow our own rice so that we could self-sustain our rice requirements for eating daily? I'd like to see a video of some sort of calculation, with assumption of rice consumption of a family of four, how many grams are eaten on a daily basis, how much square footage of land do we need to grow rice with enough amount that if the harvest season comes, we could harvest all our rice and re-seed it so that we have enough rice to last us until the next harvest season, and how much fertilizing stuff do we need during the growing season 😅 If you could make that video, I'll gladly watch it 😁😁😁 I hope my explanation make sense 😅
Realistically I don’t think it is possible for individuals to grow enough to sustain themselves. It’s also very difficult to dehull (without a machine).
It’s always worth a try. Often the grains sold in grocery stores are too processed to germinate. But you never know! I’ve done tons of grocery store seed: rice, sesame, etc. usually it doesn’t germinate but it’s still fun to try.
Oh Crickey, this Sheila is so empowered. I love work, I could sit n’ watch for hours. &when ya finished can ya fetch mi that beer love? Yeah/Nah, she’s alright, if’n u want a long healthy life be a Gardener.
@@Amcsae if prefers HEAT, so yes you can grow it in northern climates but only through the summer. I know of some folks who grow it in hot houses to really encourage seed set.
Do you have a video about what to do after you harvest to actually get it to table? I have your book but it doesn't talk about that part of the process!
what is the best temperature to grow the rice? (i know you said to plant the seeds in summer, but if its 30 degrees Celsius outside here and will not get under 20 any soon is it still ok?
VERY SMALL- growing rice in containers is more of an experience rather than a way to get a sizable harvest. if I had to guess I would say a 10gl container may yield 1/2 cup of rice seed.
I'm gonna try now for the third time to grow rice. This time using your tips!! Thank you 😊🌿
hows it growin
Good luck!
So how did it go???

Thanks for sharing. This will assist me with trying to grow rice.
So happy to watch this video. I grew up in south end of India with paddy fields around. Our seasons were ploughing sowing harvesting and all..
If you're wanting to be relatively self-sustained for 1-2 people, how many pots would you need to grow?
well good question. If you are trying to be self sustaining, growing rice in pots wont get you very far. you would def need to establish some in grounds areas to cultivate larger amounts. Realistically each one of these pots will produce enough for one meal, with veggies and a protein added.
@@BrieThePlantLady in terms of kg do you know how much it was?
A LOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
@@mortgrl yes please let me know how many kgs per pot roughly

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you !
So does rice die after seed? Can you keep it long term or have to replant every year?
yeah nah, don't keep rice over winter it takes too much water effort etc. it's kind of like sunflowers, maybe some types can last 2 years if you keep it warm give it water but usually it's not worth it
Great info! Getting a big container ready today!
Thanks so much
I’m late in the game but would i be able to start growing it now, i’m in AZ so it stays warm for a while 😅
WE are sri Lankan our main meal is rice and curry, in our country there are so many indigenous rice variety
what was the yield in weight for that pot of rice?
Wow that rice plant is beautiful too!
I’m interested in buying some rice as well, where did you get your seed from please? I searched your site and couldn’t find.
I’ve added rice to my website briegrows.com (it’s on the home page- click on the grain seed link)
Would it be possible with potting soil if we watered it all the time, so it doesn't dry out?
Yes absolutely
never ever seen rice seed for sale anywhere I live. sad times. would love to grow some in my fish pond
You can find it online. I buy from Hancockseed.com
How do you harvest the rice?
I will be doing that soon! Stay tuned
Love your video!!! How often do I water the rice in pots? Thank you!
I just water as needed- the advantage of growing rice in pots with no holes is that you dont have to water very often, especially if you are getting a lot of rain, like we have lately.
What variety of rice do you use to or where can I get the sea package
I have it listed on my website now BrieGrows.com
Can you use a mixture of peat moss or coco coir and compost to help with moisture retention? I would think that would help but I’ve never grown rice before .
Compost is best.
This is great. Would store bought long grain brown rice work?
no store bought wont germinate. You have to buy seed that hasnt been treated with heat.
ok thank you. I’ve read different things around the internet but it seemed unlikely to me that storebought would germ. Thanks for the confirmation 👍😁
I am from canada and i was really wanting to grow rice do you have a recommendation on what rice I should start with as a beginner?
That is a good questions. I would say it is more about HOW you grow the rice vs the variety- but I may be wrong. I would grow it in containers- probably black pots with no holes toe ensure the soil gets warm enough for the rice to thrive. You may need to start it indoors since your growing season is shorter.

Thanks For sharing 💐can i Just plant the Millet that i brought in the store ?
It’s always worth a try. Often the grains sold in grocery stores are too processed to germinate. But you never know! I’ve done tons of grocery store seed: rice, sesame, etc. usually it doesn’t germinate but it’s still fun to try.
What about watering, should I water heavily?
In a pot with no drainage holes the water will pool do you don’t have to water as much.
Ur awesome
How dip do the roots grow down?
The entire pot will fill with roots.
can you grow rice in 5 gallon food grade buckets....curious why 7 gallon
Yes any size pot will work 👍
Good info
Where do you get your containers for growing rice?
You can buy plastic pots with no holes everywhere.
What size pot do you recommend purchasing?
Larger is best-7gl is ideal
Is it prone to having mosquito larvae and gnats?
Hi, I bought your Gardening with Grains but I am having trouble finding where to buy rice seeds. Can you help? Thank you
Hancockseed.com has Rex rice in stock

&when ya finished can ya fetch mi that beer love? Yeah/Nah, she’s alright, if’n u want a long healthy life be a Gardener.
U must be an Aussie! 😂🤣😂
What type of rice seeds are you using?
I grow 3-4 varieties depending on availability. I think this was Carolina gold.
How much rice do you get per pot?
Good question- I’ll let you know this summer! Last year the birds stole most of it 🤦♀️🌾👍
I'm also curious about what climate conditions are necessary? I think of rice as a something grown in the south- can you grow it in colder areas?
@@Amcsae if prefers HEAT, so yes you can grow it in northern climates but only through the summer. I know of some folks who grow it in hot houses to really encourage seed set.
Does anyone know how many seeds are needed to grow 1 pound of rice?
I estimate that a 1 ounce seed pack ( the size I sell at in person events) will yield about 4 cups of seed, which is about a 1lb.
in india i grow in a large area every year
That's Awesome! Do u have a video on it?
@@UniqueBeautie no
From where i get seeds of brown rice?
can you grow them from store brought rice intended for cooking?
No that generally does not germinate.
Can someone tell me what type of mulch to purchase at a box store to put on top of the rice seed.
I would recommend just layering soil on top. In My experiments last year the results were from that didn’t get mulched- just too dress with compost.
Where did you get the big bag of the soil? Ty
It’s a great company call Soil3
shop.soil3.com/?Brie%20The%20Plant%20Lady&
What was the soil again that you put at the top of the seeds?
It is called Soil3. Only sold in Georgia, SC and NC unfortunately.
@@BrieThePlantLady where in GA im northwest central GA. Where did you buy here.
I order rice seeds from Amazon to grow in container and the rice came with skin! Is that right.
Yes it should have the chaffe attached
Rice came whiteout skin
Do you have a video about what to do after you harvest to actually get it to table? I have your book but it doesn't talk about that part of the process!
Where can I order the rice packets
I’d do a google search as a log of companies are running out. Sustainable seed is my go to source.
Full sun or partial sun? 6 hours? 8 hours?
Full sun! Sunny and hot is best
Where do you buy rice seeds?
Baker creek heirloom seeds will often have them and Hancockseed.com sells large quantity.
Great video, great info, you seem awesome :)
what is the best temperature to grow the rice?
(i know you said to plant the seeds in summer, but if its 30 degrees Celsius outside here and will not get under 20 any soon is it still ok?
Rice grows best in temperatures above 45F (7C) and thrives in the heat. So if you are in a tropical climate it can be cultivated year round.
Hi Brie; quick question: what would you say your average yield of rice from one large pot?
VERY SMALL- growing rice in containers is more of an experience rather than a way to get a sizable harvest. if I had to guess I would say a 10gl container may yield 1/2 cup of rice seed.
You are not on Instagram.
