Up to you how you do it. I don't want my plants right up to the edge of the bed, so that's why I do it the way I do it.

It usually does that. Great way to tell how fat it's getting without having to remove soil from around the root like you sometimes have to do with carrots.

You really need to experiment with it before you go on vacation. Really depends on how large you make the hole(s) in the lid and the temperature, soil and type of plants.

Hope you get some great things growing!

The water will be sucked up once the soil on the bottom of the pot becomes dry.

Not many people have common sense nowadays unfortunately.

Yes, it's magic. Just kidding, of course there is a hole.

This really depends on your soil. Good soil with lots of organic matter shouldn't block the holes.

Yes, generally that's a good idea. But usually there is lots of organic matter in my soil anyways and I don't have problems with rot or disease.

I don't mind, the comments feed the YT algorithm. It is my most watched video on this channel. Yes, in hindsight considering how popular this video is I wish I would have shown the holes in the cap but like you said, should be obvious there are holes. I just wanted to show the idea so some people can benefit from it.

Right on, great video btw!

Great to hear! Growing your own greens is so worth it.

If you make the syrup it will only keep a few weeks in the fridge. My plan this year is to freeze the syrup (without the honey added) in ice cube trays and then take some out when we need it and mix it half and half with honey when thawed.

That's a brilliant idea

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, they are strong animals - the deer fencing is tear resistant so works well.

Nice alliteration!

Not well - I even have issues shredding very fresh cedar boughs. I would try letting the stalks dry completely and then you can try to shred them. Make sure your blades are very sharp.

Thank you!

It depends on how many holes you put in the lid, how dry your soil is and how hot it is. Experiment before you go on vacation to see how long a bottle will last.

How so?

I'm not familiar with rice plants as rice does not grow well in our area. Best to check if you can find a RUclips channel that is located in Asia somewhere where they do grow rice. There is rice grown also in California.

You can harvest anytime, just make sure to do so before first frost. Leaving it on the vine longer may get you a bigger squash, but if the squash gets too old, it might not taste as good and the texture may be off.

Please ask your child's doctor - I can't give any advice on the appropriateness of this for a baby.

Raw honey isn’t suitable for under 12 months. Botulism.

Those work too, but this is obvious cheaper and you reuse something you'd otherwise throw away or recycle.

Sorry that you didn't like it. Not everyone likes all music and you're entitled to your opinion.

Several plants. I have other videos on my channel showing my A-frame trellis I use to grow squash on. Usually I have 6-8 plants or so, growing up the trellis from both sides.

I usually take just a teaspoon at a time. I can't comment on how regularly to take it. You may want to ask your doctor.

It was!

You’re welcome! It’s great when you can just make do with what you already happen to have at home.

Exactly ! What holes haha How the hell did 4000 people like this

Because they used logic to realize there are holes in the cap - otherwise how would the water come out? I also pinned a comment about that.

I do plan to make a followup video showing how the holes are made - just had a very busy summer and didn't get to it yet.

Then add more. Experiment to see how long it lasts and adjust.

Sorry to hear that. You need to try it before you go away and possibly tweak the sizes of the holes and number of holes .

Yes it’s the old frame from my daughter’s crib. I used the other parts to make an A frame trellis for my squash and a regular trellis for my peas. Basically upcycling the whole crib other than the mattress.

Yes you should be able to. Especially for your tomatoes when you transplant them. Also make sure your soil is well amended with compost. If it’s very hot and dry there you may also want to consider a leaf mulch on top to help conserve moisture - that will help feed your soil as well.

@@HealthyFreshHomegrown Thank you so much for the info; I did order some liquid fertilizer after watching your video but it was going to take a while to get here so in the meantime we were able to acquire some cow manure & have access to horse manure if needed (a lot of the old farmers around here use manure as fertilizer & end up growing the prettiest, most delicious vegetables…esp tomatoes 😋). I hope it won’t disturb or cause any injury the plants, i crumbled some around each plant and then watered; fingers crossed they will be ok. I need to learn the best way to compost since we recently moved to a very rural area with lots of room for a compost pile or whatever it’s called. Thanks again, I really appreciate the video & advice!!🤩

@lilmama4426 great! As for the manure always make sure it is not fresh as that can burn your plants. Sprinkling it around the plants should be fine even if it wasn’t fully composted. And yes, definitely start your own compost when you can. 😊

Glad it was helpful!

The water won’t be in the bottle for long as you’ll be adding fresh water whenever it runs out. You can also put a sleeve of dark paper around the bottle to block sunlight.

Try burying the bottle top in the soil. Or you can tape a stake to the side of the bottle to help support it better.

Yes you can - just keep in mind that you need to use more fresh than dried since drying shrinks the petals.

You’re welcome!

It can vary depending on the size of the bottle, the size and number of holes in the lid, your soil and the weather. Best to test if out before you need to rely on it when you go away.

I usually rinse it for the last time before putting the jar in the fridge and start using the sprouts. I don't worry too much about the seeds that didn't sprout. Those just get eaten as well!

Yes, mine are now two years old too and they're about 4 feet tall as well. And good point about the berries - you do have to cook them as you can't eat them raw, something you should tell your kids and other family members. And the leaves and stems should not be eaten.

Yes, but only if the roses have not been sprayed with any chemical fungicides or pesticides. And you will need to experiment with the taste - some roses will make a tastier tea than others. At this point I really only have one rose that I make tea from. I've tried some of my other varieties but the tea didn't taste that great. I would harvest one rose from each bush, dry them (it should only take a day in hot, dry weather) and then brew a cup from each, keeping track of which one is which. Then do a taste test to see which one you prefer.

Yes, you do have to consider other animals that could get caught in the net. So far I haven't had any issues. A better alternative is to use rigid hardware cloth or mesh with larger openings.

Awesome, they work quite well. Great way to reuse something that can't be reused because of safety concerns.

Never mind this was forever ago

Still a valid question - I do get rid of the oldest plants as they tend to stop producing. The good news is that there are always runners every year so you get new plants essentially.

I used a small nail and hammer. But there are other ways as well. I’ll do a follow-up video soon on how to make the holes and how to determine how many to make.
