I just discovered your channel. I've always wanted to garden but all the videos I watched were so complicated and you needed to spend so much money. Since I don't know what I'm doing spending money on something I might kill would just deter me cause I don't have much money to spare. I've been binge watching your videos and every video I'm like "I can do this, I can do this". You explain it so well and you don't waste money. I love the tub and chair idea! And for the first time EVER composting makes sense and seems doable. I'm gonna have a small garden on my deck this spring. Thank you!!
A small garden will be so easy and perfect, and I do my composting like Mother Nature, after all, I think she knows best, take care, WARNING: once you start, your small garden could end up really big as you want more and more, 🤣
Me tooo!! I am going to get my kitchen scraps out tomarro to start my first tub!!! So excited shes such a awesome teacher blew my mind how easy she makes it look!! composting made sense to me was mind blowing!! Love this video!! Hope it works out for me thx Robbie!!! First time I hv been so excited during the crazy pandemic. Veggies and fruit so expensive I spend so much on berries,greens its crazy. Thx again.
What are your goals for this year, phenixwars1?
Oookooķòòkookòòòoookòòkoòkòoķòòkooķooo
I love all of her composting videos 😍
Thank you!
great ideas thanks!
Thank you!! Robbie
You give me hoarder vibes
A hoarder is a person who doesn’t use what they hoard. She eats her hoard! Lol
Great video! Can you use top soil or it has to be potting or garden soil?
Top Soil is fine, Thank you so much 😊
Can I put ivy vines in the compost bin? I have heard no but also yes so I would like to get your opinion or anyone else's here! Love your channel, live in the OC.
Can weeds be used for the compost as well? Will they grow and take over the bins?
I cold compost....it will depend on the type of weeds....most of the weeds I deal with I put them on the bottom of the new tubs I start, thanks, Robbie
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy yes, good questio. Since I'm totally new to this I too was worried about weeds going into the compost and finding it heaven on earth for them. Not sure I understood her answer either
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I agree completely and have been using weeds in the bottom of my compost-in-place pots with no trouble. I even have used weeds for mulch "chop n drop" style. What few weeds make it through are very easy to pull and recycle again.
You are seriously an incredible teacher! Was that your profession? Thank you, for imparting your wisdom and making it all so interesting!
You could just add a wet layer of cardboard on top to help brake it down faster.
I will try that! I have lots of cardboard!
Good idea! I often tear newspaper strips
OMG I love you! Never stop - you are so helpful and reassuring.
Thanks so much, Robbie
It's true.... she's so cool! 🎉👏💯💥✨😉
Hi. Robbie . I have been learning about compost and planting on my own by reading and going in u tube since 1993 it has been a long journey. This year 2019 am gonna try your method with the compost under the plant containers. It seems simple but I think it make a lot of sense . Am in queens, ny and probably some things won’t work but that’s ok. Am still gonna try. Your energy feeds my energy. As soon as winter is leaving I start with seeds in the house until it gets a little warm and then I plant in containers. This year for the 1st time I did the small cup to start the seeds and it’s working . It’s been better than other methods that I learn before. I wish you was my neighbor. I have no neighbors that really grow vegetables. Also was gonna say that I have not found any wood chips to cover the container tops. Thank you and your husband ( Gary) for taking out time to keep us busy learning from your experiences. Thank You
Excellent! Wish I had seen this several months ago before I wasted so much because I didn't have my big bin ready. Dang. I learned a lot here. Composting made simple. I love the idea of putting the hardware mesh on and then the pots. It will keep doggo out.
Robbie you are so clever! I love the scene with Gary! U2 are so comical. Thank you.
I am so hooked as everytime I turn my ipad on, I got to go to youtube first thing and read all of your videos so interesting.
Thank you SO VERY MUCH, take care, Robbie
Robbie, I always enjoy your videos in the garden. Thank you for sharing your great ideas. I have used many of them successfully. Love the red top on you, a good color. Catherine
Thank you so much, found the top at Kohl's for $5, and just had to get it, as it matched my hat 😊 Thank you, Robbie
Love how u grow. My son and I have begun our Robbie gardening. Collards & Kale have their own little compost inside their pots! And as of yesterday we set up a purple dragon radish row! I have noticed all around the garden little Robbie vignettes mini gardens within themselves ♥️🌿gotta love it‼️🧑🌾🌻🐝 your friend, Jill
She is the best. I have loved every vid so far. Love how you explain things really well and make everything simple!! Love love watching you.
I love your easy ideas of composting I recently bought a property that has a yard and garden and I'm going to use your method thanks a lot for sharing
I love your innovative and cost-saving methods! Compost making is like making earth gold! Buying compost is so expensive, and you can never have enough so if we can find ways to compost (even a worm bin indoors in an apartment or on a balcony or patio space!)
I love your channel and what you and Gary do and share with us here! Thank you!
Can I use coffee and tea grounds at all?
Love your and Gary's comedy snippets in between. Lol.
I've started my rainbow garden and totes and making dirt!!!
Cool, Thank you so much 😊
You have fantastic yet cost effective ideas. Love it!
Thank you so much! This was so helpful. Our winters are so cold, that I wasn't sure if any of it would compost but I do think your ideas and suggestions will really help.
Great, thank you so much ❤️
You have inspired me to branch out with container gardening...blessings to you.
Agee you have also
Inspired me🌻
I love your videos and they are making me excited to garden again. I followed some of the other gardening videos on TH-cam and they were "buy this and buy that and you will have a successful garden". Well I bought stuff and it didn't work. Now I live in an apartment with a small patio. How would you do drainage? I don't want to stain the cement.
Did you figure the drainage out in a workable way?
I would think a duplicate' catchment' bin at the bottom with a couple of bricks or rocks in between would work. And it would allow you to reuse the drained water.
the problem I have with my compost is FLIES!!!!!!
The only thing I found that helped was putting a thin layer of potting soil on top so after I added kitchen scraps I'd put in a handful or two of potting soil and that seemed to help.
MarielasSister wondering if maggots are so bad or the same as worms🐛 think someone asked this question earlier What do you do in that case? Also does anyone know if it’s possible to plant a potato 🥔 in a cardboard box 📦 using the same compost in place concept she mentioned God Bless you on any replies 🙏
@@siry5164 honestly I don't know about maggots, from what I understand they are the larvae for flies. They're good in the sense that they will help break down the decaying matter, however they will eventually turn into flies. So take it with a grain of salt. I don't want to encourage flies or their larvae but if they're already there then I just focus on the silver lining that they will speed up the compost and wait until they become flies and fly away or catch them with a fly trap. Wish I had a better solution but that's the only I could think of.
@@siry5164 oh almost forgot... I've never grown potatoes well sort of. I have some growing now in a 5 gallon bucket but haven't attempted to harvest yet so I have no real knowledge about growing potatoes. As for a cardboard box, I don't think it will hold up to the expansion of the potatoes but if you have some sprouting potatoes and want to give it a try let us know how your experiment works out. I wish I could be of more help. I'm a gardener... in theory. I watch A LOT of gardening videos but this is the first year I have actually attempted to grow an actual vegetable garden. So good luck to us both.
MarielasSister Thanks 🙏 I don’t have maggots at least not yet, I was just curious about this from someone else’s maggot issue and if it ever happens I’ll be prepared how to deal with it. However, there is plenty of mosquitoes and mouths flying around?? I’m trying to plant potatoes 🥔 and celery now wondering if these could be grown in the same box 📦?💁🏻♀️
Nice video. You made me excited to start composting before spring comes.
It is never too early to start getting this together, nor is it ever too late. THANKS, Robbie
Outstanding video! You are so right! I am committed to create my own compost this year!!! Gary looking for his wire inserted into the video was priceless!!!
Thank you for sharing. I do believe The Lord lead me to your channel, because I do need this knowledge. God bless you and your family.
Thanks so much for the facts on gardening. Love your videos.
HI Robbie, red is your color! Beautiful. Hi Gary. Question: do you ever add sugar to your compost tea? Saw that somewhere and am wondering.
Hi Barbara, no but I do toss that into my compost in place bins. For my compost tea, I usually only add in yellowing leaves, or green leaves, like kale and collard and whatever, and use that as my compost tea in a few days when it breaks down and starts to smell. Sugar should be find to add in if you want, thanks Robbie
Hi Robbie. Because it snows in ny I cannot plant outside during those month. I do keep doing compost in my basement and outside in a compost bin. Have no choice but to do micro greens in winter.
What about decks that have no soil for the worms
Grab a hand full of dirt from under a damp rock or flower pot, and toss it into a tote, that should do it. Take care
I know this is an older video, but have you switched to making holes a bit higher on the side now as opposed to the bottom? So a bit of water stays in the base and wicks up?
Is one better then the other? Do side holes not risk root rot?
Either will work, will depend on where you live, here we are dry, so holes up holds some water for the plants, and holes down on the ground will bring in roots from trees for us. Thanks
Robbie , you look great wearing red. Can this set up keeping gophers and moles away?Thank you for sharing.
OMG Yes, I will be setting this up in a part of my yard where the gophers keep coming up, SO this will work for you! Super Great question, thanks, Robbie (I am going to get together a Q and A on this video so I can get more into detail)
Do you rinse your eggshells before putting them in the compost? I just discovered your videos and I love them!
why did you not put the water mam,the other was using water
Can I put poo & shavings from my horse stables in with my food scraps,
I have done that. I went to the horse barn down the road and dug up some manure and saw dust from their pile free. When their pile is full and high, they scoop it up with special equipment on the tractor and spread all over the pasture as a fertilizer.
Yes you can, make sure the manure is not fresh or it will burn so let the manure aged 2 or 3 weeks before adding to your pots.
One of My favorite families on TH-cam ❤️👏🏻
THANK YOU!
Mine always get maggots in them. Yuck!
I remember back in 70's I was working at bait shop beside the lake and to my shock, we were stocking those maggots (gross) in the cooler with other worms. They came in different colors like they were dyed. The fishmen loved them as the fish were biting them like hell. I remember watching dead fish on the ground and it was full of maggots and they turned into flies as that is what I have been told. If you see maggots, just throw them in lake as fish will love it or maybe dig deeper in the ground and buried them, maybe that would keep them from turning into flies. Just an idea. I don't know about. Just what I learned 40 years ago.
Bobbie Sue Sanders Yah I think they’re all so gross, I don’t even want to even think how would you 🖐 🤚 handle 🐛 them?
@@siry5164 LOL yea I would not even touch them either. I have not seen any maggots since I worked at the bait shop. We were selling them along with other worms, crickets, minnows, catfish baits, hooks, fishing supplies, and hamburgers I cook. But fish love those maggots. I had a blonde duck pet that I call Donald Duck. Whenever I cleaned out the cricket box and I would feed dead crickets and dead minnows to my pet duck. We moved away and then about six months later we came to visit the bait shop store as we were going fishing and I could see flock of ducks way way out on the lake maybe 400 yards maybe farther away. So I wonder if my pet duck still out there, so I yelled Donald Duck, Donald Duck, Donald Duck few times and to my surprise I was shocked that Donald Duck alone flapped flapped fast and swimming toward me. They do know their names. Oh golly wow.
@@RodeoCowgirl-55 Awww that’s so sweet and amazing they know they’re names, you should take him home bet he misses you too 🙏
Hi Robbie, Do I have to wait until it completely decomposes before I can plant in it or can I use it when it's partially decomposed? Could I use that straight or would I need to mix in potting soil to the compost before planting? Will it decompose faster if I keep the lid on my tote or keep the lid off? Thank you so much I enjoy your videos, they inspire me. God bless you real good✝️💚🌻🌿🍅🌿🥕🌱🌽
Hi ROBBIE & GARY love the video you look great in Red great ideal.
Hi Craft Queen! Thank you so very much, Gary says HI too, take care and thanks, Robbie
I love your enthusiasm....and your right....it is gold!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
Thank you so much for your video(s), especially for the ones you made in composting and making your own soil. I'm trying to learn enough to get started with at least a little gardening. This video was the one that had me out in my yard this morning, setting up my first bin.
By the way, I thought I wouldn't have enough material to get started. I don't exactly live out in the nature. But it turns out, the amount of half rotten leaves and paper and cardboard and garden clippings I was able to find around the house would have been enough to get several bins started.
Now, I’m happy I don’t have to throw away my old, rotten vegetables and ,are my compost, awesome video!
I look forward to your new posts. This one is great because I can share it with my friends to help explain the technique in detail. You have a following of a group of us here in N. Calif. This technique has revolutionized my home garden of 30+ years. I had composted and done vermiculture, gradually moving toward "chop-and-drop" techniques but this put it all together for me. It seems ideal for small urban gardens. One thing I've been wondering is how you have tomatoes that survive the winter. It must be that much warmer there than where I am in Calif.
I'm in Las Vegas ,in an apartment and I have a few questions.(I also have tomatoes started from organic tomatoes in the compost pile in September that have survived 28 degrees on my patio )
I want to set up a 3 tier Tower(+) on my cement patio . I can't put holes on the bottom of my containers. My idea is to put cement blocks with holes about an inch to an inch and a half up that I can use the drain water as compost tea.I'm also going to buy some worms because we have none here.
Think it will work?
Thank you
Patricia Kurschinski
We are warmer than you, yes, but I have thoughts as to maybe ways to get some to survive the winter if you have NO snow, I am working on a Q and A, so I can get my thoughts more in detail....Keep an eye out for it. Thank you SO SO very much, Robbie
I attempted to keep my tomatoes going thru the winter this year by having them in black large tubs so they would catch as much heat as possible using the compost in place methods. It seems they ALMOST made it but by January they had died back. I'm keeping a few rooted just in case there is still some life there.
OK, maybe a heavy pot will keep the raccoons out . . I can only hope!
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for sharing guys....
Just love to, thanks so much, Robbie
Thank you for sharing all this information, I’m from El Salvador in Central America and trying to start growing our own food 🤩✨ I would like to have an idea of what kind of organic kitchen scraps you would not recommend to throw on your compost starter? Thanks again I really appreciate your teachings ❤✨ 8:38
Can't you put the lid on it as long as you have drilled holes in the top?
Yes, I have many other videos on that very topic, Thanks so much, take care, Robbie
I started my first container compost today! Thanks Robbie. Your videos are just great. I’ve been binge watching!
Thanks for all the information! Very helpful! Are cedar chips helpful in gardening. I have some and don’t know what to use them for.
Your method of composting seems the most easiest!!! I enjoyed the video and learned more about composting!!
I've watched you videos about making a composting bin and I've started one. Can I cover it with the bin top or should I leave it uncovered? I live in Alabama and we have lots of rain. I've drilled holes in the bin so no water will sit in it. Thanks! I love your videos and have transformed by backyard!
I've have garbage pail I'm using for compost but it seems to be taking so long to break down. I wonder if I need more holes for drainage so I don't kill the worms/maggots...???? I use a big stick to turn it every once in a while but now I wonder if I even have to do that???
LOL ;-) I must eats me spinach! What a goofball. ;-) You crack me up! LOL
How long does it take to break down?
Robbie, I am exhausted thinking about all the work you and Gary accomplish. I love your videos!
Thank you 😊
OK so now im confused.In your other videos you didnt put holes in the bottom,only on the sides. So why the difference?
I've noticed that your tubes are not filled up to the top with soil or compost. How far do you fill on order to grow tomatoes or zucchini
I just put the lid on that came with the tote after throwing all the layers in & makes sure there’s some earthworms - no problem with pests😊
hi Robbie, made me laugh on this video you are a pro. I loved the way you work in the garden with your hat on and bucket on hand. Thumbs up!!!.
what about using spoiled milk?
Do you have a video talking about adding minerals to your compost soil? I love what you do but I am curious how do you add trace elements and other beneficial things a soil would need, not just the compost.
I'm in Northern California, it's raining few days a week, do you leave the compost container outside without the lid?
Excellent video. Now I know how to start. Can I use cedar chips in the compost? Thank you for your time.
I would think using cedar would be possible but cedar is desired for its resistance to rot so works better as a mulch.
Hi i do the same thing i have compost growing in tubs but i just add worms in it i dont drill holes underneath them
You are so cute and I love everything you do! I do the same thing but I never thought of putting the shredded paper in there! Great idea thank you Blessings.
great video robbie, i started a bin like this in the back yard, it is sitting on a pile of snow, i guess it will begin decomposing in the spring. meanwhile, i just keep adding to it.
if a mouse can get their nose in, they can get their whole body in.
I simply put the tote on til the compost is completely broken down
You’re so cleaver, thanks for all the great tips❤
Robbie, I LOVE your videos. So informative and fun!
I have done many of the things you suggest. Question. I have a concern about “jumping worms”. I live in NC and we have some that come in on pine needle mulch. They have stripped the soil and eaten all around the young roots on the top 3 inches of soil of a yoshino shiny cherry tree. And left castings that have NOTHING in it. The soil looks like coffee grounds.
Have you run into this yet and how would you use your compost of how would you get rid of that compost in order to not have those jumping worms transfer to your garden?
Are the jumping worms still a big problem for you?
Can I put the chicken poop (8 chickens) in there too or would it be too much?
You can. . I have done that with rabbits, cows, chickens, pigs, and horses manure. It depends how long they been aged as you can't put fresh ones in your garden. Wait at least 2 or 3 weeks they aged.
Yay i just got bins today thank you for inspiring me
Over watching your shows its so informative and cute
Thank you so much for this information. Now I feel I could compost and it is not going to break my back doing it. I really appreciate how you re-use everything. I am a person who likes to go to thrift shops, so I can find these plastic bins for a buck or two at a thrift shop. Could you tell me, can I use cardboard boxes instead of wood chips? I have no access to wood chips. Also are wood chips the same as mulch? Right now mulch is pretty cheap.
Chop up the cardboard in smaller pieces 1st

I had a problem with the shredded paper compacting in the bottom
Is Gary still looking for his wire?🤣😂
Wonderful video! How long does it generally take for compost
I plant if needed right away, as I also compost IN place, Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for sharing this is on my list to do💜
I love my tubs, the vegetable plants grow great in them, thanks, Robbie
What about maggots?
My Collie mix would lift the wire mesh and take it away. Then its a search to find it and make sure you don't run over it with the lawn mower this spring. :)
baahaha.. that little bugger! ;-)
Thank you Robbie, I love your no nosence videos 👍😉🇮🇪🍀
Thanks!
i love your videos Robbie. i love the plants on top of your compost. you are so creative 😉
Thanks so much 😊
cant you just put the red lid back on?
Very informative thanks for sharing. Can I bury my kitchen scraps instead
Oh Yes, watch my short NEW video, should answer all your questions, THANK YOU, Robbie th-cam.com/video/FAUvIz0Pse0/w-d-xo.html
I have to get the card board out of my trash!
Do you have to layer in the order that you did?
very entertaining thanx guys 💘
I appreciate everything you share with us all... THANKS so so much...
Great info for beginner. Thank you.
I had tried composting with kitchen scraps before, then I had a problem with ants going into the tub and having their fill of food. How do you keep ants out without using any poisons, etc.? Also I am transitioning my indoor cat away from clay litter and using kiln dried wood pellets. When they pee on them, they breakdown into sawdust. I've seen people say you can use this around your plants but not sure if that's good for vegetable gardening. The poop of course is not used, scooped out and thrown in the trash. What is your thought on these two issues??......Mirsades
Having the same problem with ants, and have the same question.
Very exciting! TFS.
To much , speak
This has been so helpful! Thank you
Thank you so much 😊
can you put bones in there too?
Hi Mrs Robbie.... Can u freeze the scraps until ready to take outside ? Thank u for the good information. I really like your property and Its SooooooTrue, Our children/ grown ups too / need to know how to grow and understand where real authentic food come from Great Point.
I do and it’s stays fresh until I put it in the compost
Good idea about freezing till you ready to compost them.
Sure
I love the way you seem to mention the easy way you plant zucchinis. I am using your technique this Spring in Melbourne Australia. I love the large zucchinis stuffed. The shops dont sell the large ones so I'm happy growing mine until the perfect size. Thank you so much for all your tips.
You can also put a layer of newspapers on top or plastic or both to keep soil from drying out😊
Thanks 😊
