Love your setup. Although I plan to put a first flushing diverting system, I love your setup and will do something similar. I was wondering how is the pressure coming out of the spigot? Is their decent pressure? Could there be more if each individual barrel is elevated differently? Trying to get an idea. Thanks

Why plastic barrels and not metal?

Thanks for the video. I like your pvc stands you made and the long board on cinders for headlight and separation from ground.

Could I use a quarter inch mister From a mini irrigation system And just make an Adaptor to fit the riser?

This is freaking amazing! Simple and very intelligent.

What do you do for venting/overflow?

What do you think would be the maximum height you can go to with the uprights? My tomatoes get a lot taller than 3 feet!

Love it. I plan on building one for my garden

Hello, did you ever do an upgrade on your plant stand? Getting ready to make ones of these. Thank you for sharing!

Do you have a fallow up video?

I use the water softener salt bags…heavy duty white, good for Florida intense sun. also the same bags that the soil comes in that you replace in the Earth box. It’s ironic you already have the plastic looking you square in the face. There’s also plastic from Amazon called panda it’s black on one side and white on the other it’s quite heavy duty and works very well I’m going to try to learn how to put the elastic in them but I’m using irrigation tubing clips per mate just like the person that made this video works well but if no you need to overfill your earth boxes and have a crown above the edge and then cover it to keep water from getting in from the top and causing your soil to be too hot from fertilizer that’s been hit with water for the top, don’t let water come in from the top make sure your covers go over the edge and you have a mound of dirt as Earthbox recommends.

The second item is a gimmick and does not do anything. If you bought one, you can get your money back. A Mississippi-based company called AC2T, the inventors of the Spartan Mosquito repellent, agreed to a $3.6 million class-action settlement regarding false advertising claims.

I will make my own covers.

please show making the pipe covers.

Nice clean and well thought out! Exactly what I plan to do to water my growbeds. I'm going to make one or two barrels isolated with diluted fertlizer that automatically opens on a separate timer once a week to fertilize the garden as well.

Nice set-up! We are planing to capture the rainwater at our new place, but there's a hitch: The house is downhill from the garden -- probably 10-15 feet difference, if I had to guess. You mentioned a pump -- I was wondering if we had a barrel system at the house, and a solar-powered pump at the garden, if it might help bring the water up there (instead of me carrying 5-gallon buckets). Any thoughts? Thanks!

Nice

make sure to check your local areas to see if there is a required permit or it may be fineable. not illegal. but some states/counties require a well permit inorder to collect rainwater. something you NEED to look into if you live in high drought areas. collecting rainwater does have an impact on the ground water. every single thing in life there is cause and effect.

Has anyone grown watermelon that is what I am really searching for content.

Very nice setup..appreciate ur hard work and showing us the vid..impressive...well thought out...ty

I forgot how I found your channel originally but great information. Just watched your food forest video and you listed off so many plants I’m interested in haha. Cassava being a big one. Do you get frost in your area of FL? I’m in Naples, so I rarely do, but I’m wondering how the cassava handles it.

Great job bro looks really professional.

I love the rope handles! I was trying to figure out a way to put handles on mine

What varieties are you growing?

What type of drill bit did you use for the handles?

Awesome! I bought a massive roll of black plastic and used paracord to tie it down over the edge of the box, but the box tapers downwards and the paracord has to be tied around the water tube to keep it up. The cord deteriorates in the sun too. I had thought about magnets or drilling a screw through the box to pin the plastic down but your clips is such a great idea! Thanks!

They want $20 for this stuff now.

I've been struggling with trellis, cages, stakes for years with my earthboxes. This is excellent! You should market and sell them. I'm surprised Earthbox itself doesnt steal your idea and sell them. Anyway, thanks again!

I’m glad I found this video. I’ve been looking for a better way to hold my earth box covers on for years. This is the answer. Thanks.

What a brilliant idea

Hello! Thanks for the video! I tried to open the Google drive link but it's telling me it no longer exists. Any way to get a copy of it?

Mosquito Magnets work. They are the real deal. Don't use Thermacell's, they're toxic AF.

Ive tried all that root shit amd now i ise oy tap water run 24/7 with a light on my basement floor keep water below 70 great roota in 3 wks bumps in a week but i let gwt good roots so.etimes i put a cap of hydrogen peroxide i even put 3 or 4 cuts in each sight forget spendi g money on any crap tqp water is all u need

I don’t think the covers are exhorbently priced, I just wish they were not so flimsy. I would pay for an epgraded cover if Earthbox sold them. I am making my own sturdier covers, but I am sure Earthbox could do the same, but make way prettier. My Earthboxes surround the inside of my pool lanai, so the looks matter to me

Add perlite if you are going to use any of those mediums in pots. Having really good drainage is the ticket. Roots love oxygen

This is how I want to plant my potatoes, when harvest time comes simply dump them out NO DIGGING and no tilling.

Pro mix or no mix

Been doing this for about 10 years. They have held up . My husband brings them home from work every few months. He works at beer distribution and They held line cleaner which is really just citric acid so totally safe. I made my own turntable composter out of one and it worked. Now I make so much compost I don't need it but I used it for a year. We also set up rain barrels.

Put the poly in the sun before you work with it soften it up be careful it'll get hot.

Great Idea!….. I’ve been trying for years to find a solution to not having to purchase the earth box covers. We’ll Done!

No need to make things complex, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Yea been awhile bro lol this is Gary.

The new pool area looks good. I made some rain barrels over the past year and they are working out amazingly. I'll have to send you some pictures.

Clone x solution but no gel?

Your as serious as i am about this topic 🤨 .. thanks man

Kindly pumpnyoubusing please

I use a piece of foam insulation. I got off a worksite where they were building a new house. It works really well. It’s not fiberglass, but it is a little thick but that helps when you are using straps. I cut it to fit perfectly. I just set it on top and took my Razor knife along the outside of the edge and made a cut and then flipped it over and finished my cut all the way through. I cut a couple of small holes where my plant fit down inside and they went right in no problems. It’s been a dry couple of years so I haven’t had to worry about rain or anything like that yet. so far so good.

Thank you! Love the handle idea!

U have to add water it's cocopeat lol it expands a good bit

I bought one but can't get the two parts separated. I'm going back to the feed store to see if they can help. I'm glad to know it works well.
