Most of these tips should have a *smallprint disclaimer somewhere. Baking soda in a soil that is not so acidic to begin with will stunt the growth of tomatoes, if you want to sweeten them you should give them more sunlight eventually by painting the wall behind them white or placing some aluminium foil behind. Bananas are best buried, not left on top of the soil, actually it's best to throw them in the compost and use that compost wherever needed. Only coffee grounds should be applied on the soil around the plants to give them caffeine to fight against aphids, if needed. Eggshells don't disintegrate by themselves, they need to be dried and made into powder, then mixed with the ground. Etc
If you have a beautiful garden now, you won't have it when it is full of eggshells , wine bottles, and diapers, as well as every other piece of junk mentioned. And I'll be holding onto my beer thanks
I came up with my own idea of keeping snails / slugs away. ** I have 4' x 16' raised boxes** I was at a yard sale one day and someone was selling a brand new unopen box of carpet tacks.... You know the one that are on 4 foot long wood strips that nails to the floor for catching carpet when the carpet is being installed. I nailed the carpet tack strips on the top of the raised boxes. For those who may not have raised boxes, you can always cut the wood strips to size and place them on the dirt. Snails / slugs sure hate sharp nails. ** Side note: I have used eggshells and do wor. However, after some watering or even rain these eggshells eventually disappear. - There is one other trick one could do. to deter snails and insects. Grind up hot peppers with water in a blender. Filter out the remnants of the peppers with a coffee filter and pour the water in a large jar. Mix approx 4-8 onces of the hot pepper *juice* and mix one gallon of waterin a garden sprayer. Spray your plants. The hot pepper does NOT hurt the plants but does deter insects for a week or two, depening on rain and weather.
Never did see what would happen when one plants bananas. After watching so long I figured it was just a “come on”. Knew it wasn’t going to grow but wondered if would repel something, repels me from watching another one. Good luck! ❤
@@kathybennett7560 San Diego. I have twice seen people have a tree in their yards, with hands of banana dangling down. They might have been those mini bananas.
Thanks for information. I use old face masks in the bottom of my pots. You can soak your eggshells in water and a few drops of peppermint oil to deter rodents
Now I can’t take a shower , an I can’t have a cold beer , the baby don’t have any diapers , you’ve choked all the chipmunks, it looks like the winos have been in there dumping there trash , we can’t have any french toast or cinnamon rolls and the pour old snails are getting cut up . And last we don’t have any forks and spoons to eat with . But the worst we don’t have any vintager to can with . Then we can’t have no coffee because we don’t have filters or clean any thing because we don’t have any paper towels . Then it looks like a bunch of monkeys had a party in the garden with the winos . Wow great video great ideas I like them but I couldn’t help myself with the sarcasm ! The only thing I left out was the storage containers and the baking soda but we don’t have to worry we’re gonna have to go to the store now any way ! You can make a copper ring from old house wire put it around the bottom of your tomato plants in the dirt it will keep them from getting blite . And don’t let the women folks in on that certain time of the month I don’t know how that works . But the cucumber plants look like you dumped hot water on them and they die . My grandma always grew a garden from 8 years old up to teen age I would spend a week or two with her on my summer break . That’s how I know great info we all need to be prepared to grow a garden with the way things are . She even showed me a bunch of different wild plants you can eat . Sassafras tree roots for making tea . Even Tabasco spit as a natural antiseptic ! Sounds sick but it beats gange green ! Thanks for the great advice I hope I left you some you can use as well !
This video should be renamed what not to do with your garden. Eggshells don’t stop pests, they just crawl over them. Diapers absorb too much water, it won’t get to your plants. Coffee deters plant growth. Wine bottles can overwater some plants.
I have had mixed results. It can’t hurt anything and the calcium can be absorbed by the plants. I have been saving egg shells for past several yrs and sprinkling around my hostas and I no longer had a slug problem.
@@noeladcock We moved to Iowa last year and the hostas pop up in the front yard without effort on our part after someone planted them here years ago - we never see slugs or snails going after them, even though they’re in shade over half the day. I didn’t even hear about hostas until we moved here, and when they first emerged all along our front porch, I had no idea what they were - but now I see a few varieties of them growing in neighbors’ yards. Ours are the variegated sort, and super abundant. People thin them out around here, because the soil is like magic, 8 blocks from the Mississippi River.
Mushrooms do not harm plants. Mycelial growth in the soil has shown to help strengthen most plants...certain "molds" most definitely will harm your plants
RIGHT! I love it when shrooms grow in my garden. Someone gave me some compost once, and I threw it in the shade a couple days later I had a whole crop of oyster mushrooms
Had a back yard plantation in Greenslopes Brisbane. never bought any Bananas from a fruit shop. They were lady Fingers, not Cavendish. But full of flavour. the only drawback was the spiders that we always got in the house.
I’ll tell you what would happen in my garden. The squirrel would eat them. I saw them eating thorns off the rose bushes. I never would think they do that.
Rabbits ate my rose bushes down to the lowest branches. Those fuzzy little cuties must have iron inside their mouths, because they ingested all the thorns.
Pallets are heavy, unsightly, loaded with splinters, and in most states, illegal to take. Instead of mounting pallets on the wall for tool storage, just install tool holders.
Actually where I live, it is legal to take the plain pine pallets, if on offer by a business, and often left out the front for ease of access to them...however, the thicker painted ones are the ones that must not be taken, and also can not be sold/given away by the business who uses them. I believe these painted ones belong to the haulage company/ importers...and are recycled (supposedly) So, I guess it depends where you live, and how strictly people stick to this mostly unknown 'rule'.
It’s now the 25th of October ‘23 and I wish I’d seen this video back in March when I first planted my seedlings. I’ve known to put crushed egg shells around the plants for yrs now and it truly works, plus their calcium is great for the plants as well I wish I’d known about the baking sofa around the tomato plants. I had 21 tomato plants this yr but hardly any tomatoes matured in time before the frost and snow came. I’ll be sure to try a few of these tips in my garden next yr (that is if my terminal liver cancer hasn’t metastasized and taken me by then). Here’s praying it doesn’t. Growing up and spending time gardening with mom is one of my more joyful memories I have of just the two of us away from my 7 siblings. It’s a great way to feel centred and being grounded -pun intended.
I wish you a speedy recovery to full health. And you should know that the pests don't care about eggshells, they are protected so well by their slime, they can crawl across a razorblade. The beer also does not help. The only thing that works for me is weeding a lot so that they don't have so much cover. And yeah, I garden in memory of my grandfather who taught me a lot, although I did not appreciate it back then.
Copper coins stop slugs and snails if placed around the young stalks of any plant they see as nice food (i.e sunflowers!) saved all mine in the summer, strawberries too. @@donaldduck830
@3:35 *This also works on pesky neighbors who like to come over and pick at your garden. Just sit several cups of beer around away from the garden and they will quickly forget why they came to your house in the first place other than to just drink beer.*
The beer trap works to an extent, but it ends up attracting possums, raccoons and other varmints which end up digging up your garden to get at the slugs within the beer! doh!
I think what they meant are the superabsorbent polymers, which bind water and are used also in “potting soil”/“growing media,” also known as “potting mix” or “potting compost” - they are used to keep this substance (it’s not soil!) constantly humid. But if you are planning to use a disposable diaper, you need to open it and mix the inside content of the diaper with the soil. Diapers drain the moisture and are designed to keep the skin dry, so a whole, intact diaper under the soil will sponge off the water from the soil and keep it bound inside itself (those granules). The effect will be a dried soil, not moist, I think. I don’t know exactly, you need to check things out.
Diapers have sodium polyacrylate. Sodium is a no-no for plants. You want potassium polyacrylate for your plants, but it is a little harder to buy than diapers
@@abo3abid1: Really? Wikipedia claims differently. This is what I’ve found under ‘Sodium polyacrylate’: “In the agricultural industry, sodium polyacrylate is used to help plants retain moisture in the soil.[2] It can act as a water reservoir for plants and is commonly used by florists to keep flowers fresh. Furthermore, the use of sodium polyacrylate for growing domestic fruit and vegetables has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.” Besides, sodium polyacrylate is used in so many industries, I’ll not even try to enumerate them here, *and* it is used in *food* *production* : “It has been used as an additive for food products including bread, juice, and ice cream.” It is also used to produce hydrogel (used for contact lenses and breast implants among other products and uses) And also on Wikipedia, under ‘Potassium polyacrylate’ I’ve found: “Different from sodium polyacrylate, potassium polyacrylate can be used as water retaining agent in agriculture and won't cause soil salinization.” But there is a warning there without any further explanation: “Environmental and Human Hazard Potassium polyacrylate is an extreme environmental pollutant.

This improved soil readily releases moisture, along with water-soluble nutrients, to plant roots on demand. The specific retention of potassium polyacrylate is weaker than roots of most plants. There are claims it can be used in seed coating, grow seedlings, planting crops, topdressing for crops, planting/transplanting trees, flower transport etc.” Looks like both sodium acrylates and potassium acrylates are used in agriculture for the same purpose (keeping moisture in the soil). They may have different effects on the soil and plants, but they don’t say on Wikipedia how exactly these two substances work and what is the outcome for the soil or for the plants. So, still a puzzle. I wouldn’t even try to mix the insides of a disposable diaper with soil to plant anything. I don’t trust chemistry😜
Lost me at baking soda around the tomatoes. They need acidic soil. Coffee grounds on the soil and basil plants nearby will improve tomatoes. Basil fixes nitrogen in the soil, which feeds tomatoes.
If you have packing peanuts put a layer at the bottom of the pot then use potting soil thin plant your plants the peanuts will help aerate the soil and makes the pot lighter and you can use them in the ground also just another way to recycle them
plant your veggies in pots off the ground. This will keep the critters, such as rabbits, chipmunks out of the plants. You'll never have to worry about slugs, snails or cut worms. Best RUclips to watch on this is by Robbie and Gary.
@@GardenerEarthGuy I used containers last year on cement blocks. NO slugs, snails or cutworms in my plants or soil. They (Robbie & Gary) also show you how to make your own soil without BUYING bags of it if your soil in not the best for planting. I'm working on my above ground plant containers for my veggie seedlings. Bottom of containers has twigs for best drainage.
Thank you so much for your presentation and for the creative ideas, It's superb. I would start from an egg boxes to plant some seeds. I like to plant OKRA, EGG PLANTS as well I tried several times, but all were in vein. Thank you once again for the generous tips you showed.
Egg cartons do not hold enough soil for your plants to grow decent roots to then plant out. A better option is to save empty toilet paper tunes. Cut 4 slits 7n one end fold those into them selves. Stand up in containers then add soil and seeds.
John 3:14-18,1 iCorinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians2:8-9, Romans 10:8-13, Titus 2:13,, 1 John 5:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18! 1 Peter 3:18! Our Blessed Hope! Yeshua is risen! He’s alive! Yeshua , Jesus ,loves you so much, that He died for you so you can spend eternity with Him! Jesus came, died, was buried and He rose again on the 3rd day proving that He is God and that His blood paid for all sin for all time! Jesus is the Only Way, the Only Truth and the Only Life, and no one gets to the Father but through Him! Believe and receive Jesus into your heart and you will be Saved! Run to Him! Just as you are! Call on the Lord and you will be Saved!!! The Great Tribulation is fixin start, but those who believe will be Raptured first! Times almost up! Don’t be left behind!
Aside from using diapers, I've done everything you say here and I still don't have as much success as I'd like. For example, I have planted dandelions three, four times, or more, and they just don't grow. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. From everything I've read about dandelions, they grow everywhere care free. My annual greens, wild lettuce, sorrel, and nettle none of which have grown. My investment is to the point where I don't have much left. By this time, three years later, I expected they would all be thriving. Three years now. Bananas and baking soda are part of what I've implemented. Because I didn't have the finances to build actual raised beds I used my plant pots. I cut the bottom off and buried them. Each pot became a bed for the different plants I wanted. I live in southern California so I don't have to deal with preditors, much. The worst has been Gophers but I got that under control. The only other thing that could be a problem are either grasshoppers or lizards. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Even my lemon, orange, apple, grape, and fig are all just hanging in there. My apple tree looks like it might not make it. I am SO bummed.
BOgus. The Cavendish banana which is the one that is exported doesn't have seeds. In fact, the reason that the Cavendish banana is at risk of going extinct is because there is a banana disease and all of the trees are clones. There are only immature seeds in those bananas. They were bred that way. They are all propagated by cuttings from a parent plant. They have cloned and are all genetically identical.
What a insult to readers by using a misleading picture and implication. I couldn't look at myself in a mirror if my personal character fell so low I pulled a stunt like this.
Bananas we buy at stores don’t grow from seeds. This is a video where ignorant people are fooled. Next video is about how to change your car’s piston springs.
Some tips good depending on where you live. I once watched a moose eat the Zest soap bars I had hung in my Mountain Ash tree. Then histarically, foam at the mouth
I use coffee grounds around flowers because bunnies don't like to walk on it. I place human hair around plants and flowers to deter deer and rabbits. I save egg shells all year long, wash in hot soapy water and let completely dry, then I grind them up in a hand held coffee grinder and put them into a shaker container and shake them around my plants that slugs love to eat. I keep banana peels and cut them up and dig them into the garden. I've heard that epson salts is good for the garden but I haven't used it yet. I live in zone 5 and have very high alkaline clay soil so I'm not sure if I should add it or not.
Vinegar does not work on crabgrass. I have crabgrass that grows in between concrete slabs of my side walk. I tried vinegar on some crabgrass one day. It made it wilt, but crabgrass has shallow runner roots, and it perked the wilted crabgrass blades up. Also if it rains, it dilutes the vinegar and pushes it deeper into the soil, which makes the top soil a healthier place for crabgrass to grow again. Vinegar might completely kill some broad leaf weeds, but you can leave crabgrass out of the entire picture.
I planted some Pennie’s when I was a kid to see if I could grow a money tree. My dad saw how sad I was when weeds were taking over the spot so he planted a dwarf maple and on occasion would stick money , rolled into cones , into the armpits of the branches and tell me they bloomed. Eventually over the years the blooming slowed to a halt and worst off I learned we had to move because we were broke. I was so upset I couldn’t take the tree with us. Luckily , it hasn’t bloomed since 😃
You don't need to hang a pallet on the wall what he's not telling you is pallet are heavy you have to make sure you screw those into the studs or it will just fall off you can just get screw hooks and hang your tools they also make slide clips for tools to hang on the wall to the pallet hanging the walls just to look terrible no matter what color you painted it besides who hangs pallets on the wall and if you have a small shed the pallets going to take up too much room and I wouldn't put a diaper in a planted pot they fall apart when they get too wet and it will start to mold and that's kind of gross in the first if you don't want water seeping through the pot cover the holes line it with plastic on the out side and wrap it loose so there's like pockets in there and you can poke some really small holes in their that way it drains and evaporates slowly
Bananas are at 8:36. Skip everything else. Also it’s about banana peals, fertilizing the garden, not the actual fruit.
Thanks
The monkeys thank you.
Thank you. I just closed the video
I got 16 seconds in and came straight to your top comment, so thank you!
Thanks. I hate click bait and titles which aren't accurate.
Most of these tips should have a *smallprint disclaimer somewhere.

There are claims it can be used in seed coating, grow seedlings, planting crops, topdressing for crops, planting/transplanting trees, flower transport etc.”
Looks like both sodium acrylates and potassium acrylates are used in agriculture for the same purpose (keeping moisture in the soil).
They may have different effects on the soil and plants, but they don’t say on Wikipedia how exactly these two substances work and what is the outcome for the soil or for the plants. So, still a puzzle.
I wouldn’t even try to mix the insides of a disposable diaper with soil to plant anything.
I don’t trust chemistry😜
Tip: I tried a cheap beer for slugs.
Conclusion: Even slugs don't like Bud Light. 🤷🏻♂
😂😂😂😊
@dreidmusicalx agreed add regular bud and Coors too. Horse piss.
Lost me at baking soda around the tomatoes. They need acidic soil. Coffee grounds on the soil and basil plants nearby will improve tomatoes. Basil fixes nitrogen in the soil, which feeds tomatoes.
Basil is a great garden plant for many reasons, and it's a great companion for tomatoes, but it doesn't fix nitrogen.
I wanted to see the banana part and not a thousand random gardening tips.
having gardened in NE for about 60 years i find some of this incorrect advice. plus all that plastic in a garden? very bad idea
I gotta tell you guys, your comments are priceless. I’ve had a few rough days, but now I’m ROFL
😂😂😂
What happens when you need to change the diapers?
This video has a high level of Monty Python humour: this guy promotes plastic forks and wine bottle planting, using diapers and plastic bottles.
Now you know what to do with your Bud Light!
Boo-yah!
😆👍👏👏👏👏👏
If you have packing peanuts put a layer at the bottom of the pot then use potting soil thin plant your plants the peanuts will help aerate the soil and makes the pot lighter and you can use them in the ground also just another way to recycle them
Thank you so much ☺️ I always have some peanuts around here from packages😊
plant your veggies in pots off the ground. This will keep the critters, such as rabbits, chipmunks out of the plants. You'll never have to worry about slugs, snails or cut worms. Best RUclips to watch on this is by Robbie and Gary.
Robbie and Gary
Slugs, snails, and cutworms eat plants in pots...
Robbie and Gary sound like they should stick to wearing dresses instead of talking nonsense.
@@GardenerEarthGuy I used containers last year on cement blocks. NO slugs, snails or cutworms in my plants or soil. They (Robbie & Gary) also show you how to make your own soil without BUYING bags of it if your soil in not the best for planting. I'm working on my above ground plant containers for my veggie seedlings. Bottom of containers has twigs for best drainage.

That's wonderful-
I hope your hair looks great everyday
Thank you so much for your presentation and for the creative ideas, It's superb. I would start from an egg boxes to plant some seeds. I like to plant OKRA, EGG PLANTS as well I tried several times, but all were in vein. Thank you once again for the generous tips you showed.
Egg cartons do not hold enough soil for your plants to grow decent roots to then plant out. A better option is to save empty toilet paper tunes. Cut 4 slits 7n one end fold those into them selves. Stand up in containers then add soil and seeds.
John 3:14-18,1 iCorinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians2:8-9, Romans 10:8-13, Titus 2:13,, 1 John 5:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18! 1 Peter 3:18!
Our Blessed Hope! Yeshua is risen! He’s alive! Yeshua , Jesus ,loves you so much, that He died for you so you can spend eternity with Him!
Jesus came, died, was buried and He rose again on the 3rd day proving that He is God and that His blood paid for all sin for all time! Jesus is the Only Way, the Only Truth and the Only Life, and no one gets to the Father but through Him! Believe and receive Jesus into your heart and you will be Saved! Run to Him! Just as you are! Call on the Lord and you will be Saved!!! The Great Tribulation is fixin start, but those who believe will be Raptured first! Times almost up! Don’t be left behind!
We put banana peels, coffee grounds and egg shells in the compost pile
Thank you for the advice 😊
Plant Bananas and we'll have a BANANA REPUBLIC. We are almost there!
Throw grain and seeds and veggies on your soil and you can grow mice,raccoons and rats!....but the beer thing works for drowning slugs and snails.
They turn black, rot and ants love them.
Aside from using diapers, I've done everything you say here and I still don't have as much success as I'd like. For example, I have planted dandelions three, four times, or more, and they just don't grow. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. From everything I've read about dandelions, they grow everywhere care free.
My annual greens, wild lettuce, sorrel, and nettle none of which have grown. My investment is to the point where I don't have much left. By this time, three years later, I expected they would all be thriving. Three years now.
Bananas and baking soda are part of what I've implemented.
Because I didn't have the finances to build actual raised beds I used my plant pots. I cut the bottom off and buried them. Each pot became a bed for the different plants I wanted.
I live in southern California so I don't have to deal with preditors, much. The worst has been Gophers but I got that under control. The only other thing that could be a problem are either grasshoppers or lizards.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Even my lemon, orange, apple, grape, and fig are all just hanging in there. My apple tree looks like it might not make it.
I am SO bummed.
I would get the jiffy pot starter kit from Walmart then when you think they are ready to transplant then I would try it
When can I harvest the bananas?
BOgus. The Cavendish banana which is the one that is exported doesn't have seeds. In fact, the reason that the Cavendish banana is at risk of going extinct is because there is a banana disease and all of the trees are clones. There are only immature seeds in those bananas. They were bred that way. They are all propagated by cuttings from a parent plant. They have cloned and are all genetically identical.
Long as one plant stays ok it can never go extinct
Raccoons. That’s what happens. That’s ALL that happens.
HOW ????😳🫣
What a insult to readers by using a misleading picture and implication. I couldn't look at myself in a mirror if my personal character fell so low I pulled a stunt like this.
Muchas gracias por las ideas
Bananas we buy at stores don’t grow from seeds. This is a video where ignorant people are fooled. Next video is about how to change your car’s piston springs.
The neighbours will think you have lost the plot.
Wonderful information thanks 👍😁
Can I filter the beer lure through my kidneys first?
Diluted urine is good for fertilizing grass because of the nitrogen in it.
😂😂😂
Ur-in the right frame of mind.
Now that's what I call recycling! 😅
Yes
"Plant Bananas in Your Garden, Here's What Happens" Why did Story Pound think they needed a misleading title instead of "Gardening Tips"?
I love the wine bottle trick
I like the wine bottle trick as well 😊
Some tips good depending on where you live. I once watched a moose eat the Zest soap bars I had hung in my Mountain Ash tree. Then histarically, foam at the mouth
I put bars of Irish Spring soap out to deter raccoons, moles, and voles. The raccoons chewed many of them and stole the rest.
Wud eye bee growing plants r forks. LIONS. TIGERS AND BEARS OH MY!
Snails getting hammered 😂😂😂😂
Egg shells are used in asia for orchard growing. Seems that they have a lot of vitamins and minerals in them
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 awesome information 👏 😀
This info is so helpful for a newer gardener like myself 😊
I use coffee grounds around flowers because bunnies don't like to walk on it. I place human hair around plants and flowers to deter deer and rabbits. I save egg shells all year long, wash in hot soapy water and let completely dry, then I grind them up in a hand held coffee grinder and put them into a shaker container and shake them around my plants that slugs love to eat. I keep banana peels and cut them up and dig them into the garden. I've heard that epson salts is good for the garden but I haven't used it yet. I live in zone 5 and have very high alkaline clay soil so I'm not sure if I should add it or not.
Roll up chicken wire( with pointy ends) and put them around your plants to deter slugs. This works great.
Thank you so much 😊newer gardener 😊always looking for new tricks
I will have to try some of these when my plants are large enough to put outside. Thanks
Tried the forks, but the squirrels still dug up my acorns
Next time, you can show us how to fly an airplane by buying tickets online!
First time I’ve ever seen you. I subscribed
I gave a banana in small pot to a friend. The tree ended up reaching second story when planted in ground. This was in San Francisco CA not Miami. 👍
Thank you soooooo much! So much knowledge in such a short time. Thank you 🎉
I enjoyed all this knowledge as well 😊
Vinegar does not work on crabgrass. I have crabgrass that grows in between concrete slabs of my side walk. I tried vinegar on some crabgrass one day. It made it wilt, but crabgrass has shallow runner roots, and it perked the wilted crabgrass blades up. Also if it rains, it dilutes the vinegar and pushes it deeper into the soil, which makes the top soil a healthier place for crabgrass to grow again. Vinegar might completely kill some broad leaf weeds, but you can leave crabgrass out of the entire picture.
White vinegar?
Hurray, l have all those things! So l can try this season. Thanks for a bunch of ldeas❤
If you do the diaper hack your basket you will 4:14 take the drainage away, not to mention the chemicals used to repel leaking.
So what happens when it rains and the soap gets wet ?
That’s happened with me. It makes the soap softer and more fun for the raccoons to chew.
@@birbluv9595oh wow
place the snails in cornmeal for a day and then cook the snails.
😊
🤣🤣🙃😁😁😁 okay if you come and tell my birds and squirrels and racoons and her baby and the skunk 😲🤣 don't touch ohhhh the chipmunks also.
If I plant bananas or anything edible in a garden or around my house, some animal for sure would eat it before morning .
It's good advice. I'll give it a try. Thank you very much.
The watering hack really does work. I've used it many times.
I push two small holes in a water bottle top; insert into plant soil ñ let drop very slowly
Great info
Sorry the eggs shell thing don't work.
they do
Great gardening ideas! Thank you!
I also put rocks in the hole in the plant pot, that keeps the soil in the pot, but provides drainage.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you this helped me
Helped me as well 😊
I learned this while visiting a Banana Republic.
I planted some Pennie’s when I was a kid to see if I could grow a money tree.
My dad saw how sad I was when weeds were taking over the spot so he planted a dwarf maple and on occasion would stick money , rolled into cones , into the armpits of the branches and tell me they bloomed.
Eventually over the years the blooming slowed to a halt and worst off I learned we had to move because we were broke.
I was so upset I couldn’t take the tree with us.
Luckily , it hasn’t bloomed since 😃
Thank you for such unique and useful information !
Very helpful 😊
You don't need to hang a pallet on the wall what he's not telling you is pallet are heavy you have to make sure you screw those into the studs or it will just fall off you can just get screw hooks and hang your tools they also make slide clips for tools to hang on the wall to the pallet hanging the walls just to look terrible no matter what color you painted it besides who hangs pallets on the wall and if you have a small shed the pallets going to take up too much room and I wouldn't put a diaper in a planted pot they fall apart when they get too wet and it will start to mold and that's kind of gross in the first if you don't want water seeping through the pot cover the holes line it with plastic on the out side and wrap it loose so there's like pockets in there and you can poke some really small holes in their that way it drains and evaporates slowly
So you drown the plants roots? Plants need drainage
Can the diaper and soil trick be replaced with a soiled diaper? lol
Great tips - thanks!
The last comment made me 😃. That was a good one!
nice and thanks
Coffee grindings, bananas and egg shells. Gotcha thanks😊
I did that and got a garden full of monkeys.
thank you.
Awesome tutorial!! Where's the subscription button? I'm ready to add potatoes & egg producing chickens.
