This is TULLE that Great Fabric SO CHEAP and last all year outside here, here is an aff. link to check out, many colors, I usually get one of the greens, but any color will work great: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575376117&toolid=10001&campid=5338267736&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FTulle-Fabric-Bolt-54-X40yds-Wedding-Bridal-Party-Favor-Decoration-Tutu-Craft%2F381670793265%3Fvar%3D650737116165
What a wonderful ideà. First time I heard this. I will get some for a friend growing a small avocado tree in a pot to protect it from sun burn hopefully. Thank you
I have no idea how they sell it so cheap...they did contact me and say they sold our of hunter green and loved the video (I had no idea they even knew I did a video on it) BUT I bought now their Black, and for me Black is the new Hunter Green, in other words, it looks even better in some ways then hunter green, I will do an update soon on that, in my front yard, when I replace that old 2 year old tulle in the front, thanks, Robbie
@@joangreenert7216 That was the 1st video of her that came up…. NO she does not put holes in the containers… too much water - with the Tulle draped a bit over the edge she lifts the entire seedling and dirt up and drains out the water- easy to separate the newbie plants too - cool!
I had a horrible wake up this morning. All the containers I planted yesterday were destroyed by what I assume were squirrels. I was so upset. Then I remembered watching your video and buying the tulle. Thank you so much for all the info. Life saver.
With the warnings of coming food shortages this may be a life saver for some of us and by increasing our harvest we can help out our neighbors too. Thank you!
Robbie!!! You have changed my life and given me the greatest gift!!! I’ve started my three tiered container veggie garden 😃. I have also made my own hummer fountain and have been hooked on your videos for two whole weeks!! You are awesome!! I love your spirit and your excitement, and you make everything seem possible through your presentation! You have truly been a blessing in my life during this time of tragedy, sadness, and uncertainty! My vegetable garden is not even a week old (I bought starts from local growers). That’s all I think about now, mostly! 😍🌱🌽🌾💖💖💖
I just started watching an hour ago (Sterlite raised bed containers) and her videos are so fun (beginning to change my life too and now thinking where I can start in the back yard) and now I see some of her hummingbird videos which I have to check out! 👍🌷💕
My mom kept getting confused when I would say tulle because she wanted to know which tool i meant, shovel, etc. So I started calling it the tutu fabric.
Oh good lord. I remember having to wear a tutu as a little ballerina. I much preferred brother’s hand me down jeans and running around barefoot in the garden. Lol. Now I know why the varmints don’t like that stuff it was scratchy and itchy!! 🤣
In Britain, we pronounce it tee-ool - we have strange accents here. My American husband calls it that green stuff, even if we have white or pastel coloured tulle🤣.
I watched this video at the beginning of the 2022 growing season. It SAVED my plants! This year for the first time, four legged critters started eating my plants. This was the first Spring since our two dogs passed away, and the critters must think it's open season on my garden. I only had time to put the tulle over two of my raised beds, and the plants in the other beds were eaten to stems! I reseeded and made sure to cover the newly seeded beds in tulle and it worked like a charm! Thank you for this terrific tool!
Just bought 4 of tulle. I got a 20% off plus 10.00 off coupon. Living off social security, this really helped. I am glad I found your videos. I get ideas from just about everyone I have watched so far. Also, great information. Thank you for taking the time to help us.
The driveway garden is a great idea! I have 4 feet of soil going down the entire length of the property, and it gets sun, So it would be my ideal place to set up my garden!
Where did you get your tulle from if you dont mind me asking. I live in the UK and went on ebay like Robbie said and all I can get here is tulle that is 6 inches wide......15cms ! Presumably yours is wider than that ?
I am so thankful that I found your channel!! I’m in FL in the country and with so much wildlife, I’ve been debating on starting it! I love how you use the tulle to protect everything!!! I’m so encouraged to get started!!! Thank you for sharing all your practical ideas!! You are amazing!! 🌺
Those extra tips at the ending of the video are something that is wonderful to know. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. The dog is so cute with her tulle bow.
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a lifesaver. I live on a Caribbean island and I have loads of issues with roosters, hens and chickens which fly over the walls and roam around the community, scratching out almost everything. I will definitely try your ideas. You are a lifesaver.
I would think it should work for those Chickens...Hopefully they are dropping off some eggs when they pay you a visit to your garden, LOL, thanks so much, take care, Robbie
Your garden is so amazing 🤩 I wish I ever had a garden .. to poor to have one. Living with the blessings God hve given and that is a small balcony. I love growing. I have tomatoes, pepper lemon grass, passion fruits creeper and radish..
You call it tulle (tool). Here in Washington State we have always called it tully (tool-lee). Thanks for sharing all your innovations! I love them! Here's an idea for you...Instead of peanut butter jars for hummingbird feeders, you could buy the plastic lids for the Ball or Kerr canning jars (the small ones) and burn holes in the top of those! This way you can put them in your dish washer when they become empty! Ball and Kerr jars come in a variety of small sizes, and they both can use the plastic lids!
Based on your video, I ordered some tulle. It arrived yesterday, and I'm already using it all around the garden. So far, so good. Thanks for the tip! When planting seeds, I plant them all and water in properly and then lay a window screen on top. That keeps the birds and critters out until the seedlings get a foothold. Once the shoots appear, I remove the screens. Neighbors think it's weird, but I'm having much more luck in the garden this year being consistent with my screens.
❤!!!👍 in SC. I’m growing plants to engage my mother 83. She is so excited to sit on her porch now. I am setting up bird feeders, hummingbirds feeders, and working on the water ideas now. Thanks!!$!!❤
Thanks, Robbie. I just ordered my tulle from Ebay. I'm using mine to cover my strawberry plants. It REALLY works! The Robbins just move along and the squirrels don't even get close. I love watching all your gardening programs. You have such unique and cost saving ideas! Thanks for sharing!
what a timely video!! I've just planted tomato seeds and flower seeds in pots, and I've been watching them like a hawk, and I just noticed that my tiny tomato sprouts have been disappearing, and didn't know why! Now I know it's probably the robins or other birds hanging around, so I'm gonna get the pink tulle out of my fabric stash, and protect my poor little babies! thank you!!
Kitty is so cute in her tulle bow. Thank you for sharing her with us. I always enjoy all the little extras you add to your videos; birds, deer, Gary, etc. I’m sorry things have been frightening for you and your family and everyone there recently in Los Angeles. I hope and pray your family is safe and have not suffered property damage. I have family living in northeastern Los Angeles. I pray changes can be made without further violence or hurt. Blessings
You may think poorly of me but I actually used my moms 70 year old wedding veil which went way down over a train so very long for several years when I first moved to Florida. May sound irreverent but I was trying to be less of a pack rat and I was stunned by the poor soil and vast number of birds, insects and diseases to contend with. I gardened all my life but never more difficult than north central fl. It lasted several years then I went onto using old sheer curtains.
You are a Gem! I just started gardening vegetables and have watched over 50 content creators and when I found, it felt like "home". Your honesty and down to earth manner make me feel like I can do this :)
I use it to cover my kale to keep the moths out. I’ve even sewed two lengths together with giant hand stitches to make it even wider then stretched it over hula hoops that Ives taken apart to hoop over my plants.
This is one of the best tips! I did order some and am using it with the plastic containers and hoops & I use clothes pins to clip it...it is wonderful to keep out cats who are so terrible to get into garden beds...and it keeps out unwanted seeds in winds. I also loved seeing your creativity with the lids (the winds here are too strong and they blow off for me) Thank you so much for sharing & the heads-up on the sale because I need another bolt!
I've used Tulle in my garden in the past! I have it over my "Moving Bin" Vegi Garden! I will remove the Tulle as soon as the blooms come on! Live all of your gardening ideas!!!
How clever. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to start some sunflower seeds in ground without birds and squirrels them out of ground going to start using this. Thanks
The right Tule for the right job. Way ahead of you Darlin', I started using it last year. I have a large planting area under a huge Apple Tree. Here in Colorado we are subject to violent hail. I grow dozens of Peppers (Sweet and Hot). I cover rows with wire fencing standing on top of tomato cages (tunnel shaped), then I drape Tule over the top! It keeps bugs out. Unless I lift the sides. It keeps the hail out! Lets the sun in. Keeps Tree Debris out. And rain can go through and I can hand water right through it. I love the stuff. I might Marry it! LOL I washed it in the washing machine and bought yet another, now they are both out there. I will be buying more. I like your seedling box idea.
Oh, my goodness! Rats, birds, and my crazy black lab ate half of my orange harvest this year. At our cabin, deer are also a problem. I've almost given up gardening outside. This could be a game-changer for me. Thank you so much. I'm buying this stuff today.
LOL, the last time I used the word 'tulle' was while teaching Emily Dickinson's 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death' and now, I know how to use tulle - Thank you!
Yes, crinoline and netting is stiffer than tulle, used for slips like Robbie mentioned. But definitely would do a similar job, gives you options for which is cheaper for your project. Worked as a bridal consultant for over 10 years.
I saw this video today. Birds were already eating my blueberries, so I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and got 20 yards of Emerald green tulle. I wrapped the bushes tonight. My husband is going to order some from the link for my vegetables. Thank you so much!!!
My grandfather, long before vertical gardening was popular, used tulles to make slings for melons he grew on trellises. I don't remember him ever using string to tie up any plants.. always strips of tulle. My grandmum had a home business making ballet tutus so tulle was always on hand. I suppose that might be where he got the idea. Even the smallest scraps would find their way into his garden to protect a plant or tie up another. One of the things I remember most about his garden was all the colorful patches of tulle scattered about. When they got older & were unable to handle the maintenance on their home they moved to an apartment with a good sized patio. I remember it was a jungle with everything growing vertically or hanging and of course the patchwork of tulle color. Your video brought back such fond memories, thank you.
Using tulle is a great idea for keeping the rats out of my tomatoes! Loving your videos. I want to again try container gardening using your unique methods.
Thanks so much for this great gardening hack. The birds and other critters ate over 90% of my figs last year. Thanks to you, my family and I will be enjoying them this yr! God bless.❤️
I guess you can buy tulle. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, my aunt used to use old sheer curtains, and you can often get those for free. She used it to protect her strawberries from birds and turtles. Her plants were in the ground, I don't think we ever heard of container gardening back then.
Kim Peters ...I do that too with some beds. A few neighbors cats get into garden and do their business. I've spent money on plastic cage trellis as well. I will definitely try tulle on the top instead of branches and fine netting.
Ballerina skirts and skating costumes too! Don't be afraid to look for those in 2nd hand to stores! But they'll be expensive there, since skating costumes are just plain expensive, no matter where you find them!
I happened on to your show a year ago and then lost it for awhile then I found you again ! I learn so much from you and Gary your gardens are so wonderful I love the earth friendly way you and Gary think and do .I love your enthusiasm! Sincerly vicki
Thank you for the idea of using tulle. I had recently heard of using organza (the stuff I saw had a much tighter weave than tulle, almost like a sheet), but I like your idea better because I think the airflow will be better, but I'm hoping the tulle will work as well for bugs. I haven't gardened in over 30 years, so I'm a newbie again. Zone 6a here in southeast Michigan. Just starting out small this year with a few containers. Hoping to go bigger next year, we'll see how it goes. I really enjoy your great personality and down to earth (no pun intended) approach to gardening regardless of what kind of space or budget people have. : ) P.S.- just now ordered 2 of the tulle (white) from your link.
Ms. Robbie, you are so encouraging! I am so much wanting to get days move fast to return to my homeland & start planting my heart out😉 The tomato "volunteering itself"to grow😆😆😆
Great idea for the tote lids, Robbie, also might offer some protection from this relentless heat in Cen Cal. You have given me an idea for lining the beds of my above ground gardens too, would be worth a try against gophers and much cheaper than chicken wire. Love your little puppy at the end of the video with her tulle bow. Have a great day.
Best pest contriol idea I saw this video a day toolste!Hubby put up chicken wire, but i will be adding Tulle* too!Thank you, Thank you!Thank you, oh and did I say Thank you? "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope & Mark!
So cool about the tulle! You have inspired me, I have a million birds, squirrels, rabbits, mice, a cat, and many other critters and gave up till I saw this video. Friends for life, Robbie..
Hi from Southwest TN. This tip have saved my garden for 3 years now! I wrap my tomato clusters loosely with tulle and secure with clothes pins. We have black worms that destroys the fruit. I pick my tomatoes as they get ripe then close the cluster. This is fantastic! Thank you Robbie for saving my organic garden. 🌻🐛👒🐸🐞🏵 Rhonda
Years ago, i moved into a house that had a garden bed. So i bought a bunch of starts and spent several hours put them into the bed. I was so excited the next day when I woke up. I grabbed a cup of coffee and raced out to see my hard work. But unknown to me, my neighbor who was an appliance repairman, had many (about 40, i guess) old appliances in his backyard, which also house many rats. Overnight, they came into my yard and pulled out every plant, rootballs and soil included, from the ground, through the hedge between our properties and ate most of the plants. We know this because we followed the dirt and eaten to the roots plants into their yard, and even found several still munching. Wish I knew your tuille trick then. It was a very expensive lesson, from the loss of the cost of the original plants, the replacement plants, and the t-post and hardware cloth fence I had to erect around the garden i was told I needed if I wanted to ever see a plant mature. Those were very expensive meals I made from the produce. Lol
So sorry to hear about that, I know that issue well, try the Tulle works great here; I also have a new garden going up this year for pest issues of all kinds, so watch for that too, will cost more then tulle though ❤️
The feeder is a good idea. I have 1 squirrel that likes to bury acorns in my flower pots. I have a birds nest in 1 of my favorite hanging flower pots. Also, 1 baby rabbit is living under my house and my outside building. I live in the country. A lot of animals around.
Thank you so much for the best tip ever in warding off rodents, critters etc.. I've watched your hummingbird videos, made a quick fountain for them with your fantastic videos on them and now am getting Tulle!! Absolute life saver for the heartache I have gone through in the past with the critter nonsense! So, thank you so much!! God bless!
Wow Sweetie - I see that I'm 2 years late, but better late than never! You are incredible, I just love your 'Spirit and Smarts', your passion is wonderful!! I just also watched your great video about gardening in Tote containers. O M Goodness, I am 72 and dying to begin planting in my postage size gardening area, you have me so excited :) My daughters took Ballet dance for 12 years, so I really, really understand Tulle :) Plus, I use some stacked clear Tote containers for sweaters, pullovers, etc. in my solo bedroom. Thank you so much for your Passion and Wisdom (all on a shoestring, so to speak) - YOU really made me smile, and made my day! ~~Waving @ you from the West Coast of Canada ~~& Big Hugs and Thanks, Ursula
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TULLE IDEA. IT WORKS FOR BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND NOW GOING TO GROW LETTUCE IN TUB WITH CUT OUT LID REPLACED BY TULLE. THIS IS A TOP #1 TIP IN MY GARDEN!!!!
I love tulle! I watched this video in 2020 and began using tulle in 2021! Yes it is good for so many jobs in the garden. It does everything you said it would achieve. However it keeps bad bugs out of my pumpkins and other vegetables. thank you.
So glad to have found you Robbie 🙏 Amazing tips for sure. Already made the solar powered bird bath (from the hummingbird videos! Love all of your tips as it shows gardening does not have to be expensive at all...may be we need to buy only the things we absolutely cannot make on our own. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this great idea! Well several great ideas actually using tulle. I've been at odds with the bazillion squirrels, chipmunks and birds not to mention slugs and this will help with all of them. Just ordered 3 apple green and 1 fuchsia! Thanks for saving my garden!!! ~Tracy :-)
Oh my goodness what an idea! I never would have thought of using tulle to cover my little fruit trees and different things in my yard. Thank you so much you give me so many good ideas so your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Robbie & Gray for sharing that's an awesome tip using Tulle/Netting - I've been using frost-free netting but it doesn't last long - now I'm off to buy me some Tulle/Netting for my small garden to protect my succulents that get drowned out when it rains. Not sure if this will work but I'm going to give it a go & also to protect my broccoli from the white butterfly & lettuces. So Be It!!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much for going over the different ways you use tulle in your garden! Very versatile!! I’m going to share this with my co-worker who is having issues with birds eating the plums or pluots. I told her to use netting to protect her tree but I’m going to make sure she knows about tulle😊
What intelligent ideas!!! Thanks a lot. Will be getting some of those tulle for my okras. Wish you would show how you started your okras. Thanks for sharing.
Robbie & Gary. You guys are awesome. Robbie, I adore you and your quick and practical gardening tips, along with the tips for the incredible hummingbirds. You're great!
I have a Halloween scarecrow with tulle and wired bells underneath that saved my first tomatoes. Now I'm going to use your great ideas too. Thanks. Love your garden.🌻🍅
I got so fed up with dealing with squash borers that I've switched to growing squash plants in containers this year and covered the plants with tulles as per your methods and been hand pollinating them. So far so good. Thanks to your great ideas!
Thanks to you Robbie I've been able to save pumpkins, watermelons, lettuce seedlings, and more. And I've been telling others about your garden saving idea.🙂
Thanks for all the great information! I learn a lot from your videos that help me in our gardens. I really enjoy the birds also in your videos. I’m thinking about making one of the solar fountains…it looks so easy.. anyway.. thanks for the valuable information 😅
Tulle is fine netting. So glad to learn this!! Always wanted to use this, but figured it was just a weird unworkable idea. Or that it would break down quickly and put plastics into my soil, which I do not want. Thank you so much for covering this, for being an organized and informative clear presenter, and for all that you are doing! I'm sharing your videos with others.
Just got on your eBay reference spot and ordered one in beige and one in white tulle. Thank you 🙏🏻 Here in Upstate New York, it’ll be a while till I get to start using it outside, but just ordering it brought me a kind of happiness.😊
OMG. You Smarty You! All the applications you showed make so much sense! You can tell that some critters got Tangled in the tulle! I will definitely use this! I could pick you up and swing you around! Thank you! My husband and I won't have to spend anything for fencing! Yay!
I am so glad that your video popped up on my phone today. I ordered 2 bats of thule. Plus looking at your tubs for container gardens. I have all my tubs in my shed, not being used. I love the cinderblocks too. Instead of building a new greenhouse, I am going to plant all my lettuce in my driveway and cover them with the thule open lid frame. Great ideas! Thank you!

She gets her on eBay. It is also sold at ant fabric store, such as JoAnne Fabric, Hobby Lobby, Walmart just to name a few.
LOL I never thought of cottage cheese containers. You are so garden wise.
Thank you so much for posting this. I love the excitement of your Love of gardening and tulle uses around the garden

I used to use tulle to cover my blueberry bushes to keep the birds from eating them all. Tulle is fantastic for gardens

How would you use this on fruit trees (peaches)? Around the trunk or over the whole tree?
@@hdnelson2003 think for climbers. Maybe wrap for fruit. I SAW WHERE SOMEONE USED her Tulle wedding bags they put rice in.

Based on your video, I ordered some tulle. It arrived yesterday, and I'm already using it all around the garden. So far, so good. Thanks for the tip! When planting seeds, I plant them all and water in properly and then lay a window screen on top. That keeps the birds and critters out until the seedlings get a foothold. Once the shoots appear, I remove the screens. Neighbors think it's weird, but I'm having much more luck in the garden this year being consistent with my screens.
Robbie! You are a genius! After seeing this, I bought tulle and going to use in my container gardening!👍
I can see why you're so excited! This is fantastic! Thank You!
I love it, and so cheap, THANK YOU, Take care, Robbie
Isnt it a wonderful idea!!
Brilliant idea! the birds love to eat my pea seedlings! I told them to wait for it to grow so we can share! Thanks for another awesome idea!
I never used tulle in the garden, and have learned about the uses now from you! I will enjoy using it, Thanks!💚🤣👍

Thanks, Robbie. I just ordered my tulle from Ebay. I'm using mine to cover my strawberry plants. It REALLY works! The Robbins just move along and the squirrels don't even get close. I love watching all your gardening programs. You have such unique and cost saving ideas! Thanks for sharing!
what a timely video!! I've just planted tomato seeds and flower seeds in pots, and I've been watching them like a hawk, and I just noticed that my tiny tomato sprouts have been disappearing, and didn't know why! Now I know it's probably the robins or other birds hanging around, so I'm gonna get the pink tulle out of my fabric stash, and protect my poor little babies! thank you!!
Kitty is so cute in her tulle bow. Thank you for sharing her with us. I always enjoy all the little extras you add to your videos; birds, deer, Gary, etc. I’m sorry things have been frightening for you and your family and everyone there recently in Los Angeles. I hope and pray your family is safe and have not suffered property damage. I have family living in northeastern Los Angeles. I pray changes can be made without further violence or hurt. Blessings
You may think poorly of me but I actually used my moms 70 year old wedding veil which went way down over a train so very long for several years when I first moved to Florida. May sound irreverent but I was trying to be less of a pack rat and I was stunned by the poor soil and vast number of birds, insects and diseases to contend with. I gardened all my life but never more difficult than north central fl. It lasted several years then I went onto using old sheer curtains.
You are a Gem! I just started gardening vegetables and have watched over 50 content creators and when I found, it felt like "home". Your honesty and down to earth manner make me feel like I can do this :)
I use it to cover my kale to keep the moths out. I’ve even sewed two lengths together with giant hand stitches to make it even wider then stretched it over hula hoops that Ives taken apart to hoop over my plants.
This is one of the best tips! I did order some and am using it with the plastic containers and hoops & I use clothes pins to clip it...it is wonderful to keep out cats who are so terrible to get into garden beds...and it keeps out unwanted seeds in winds. I also loved seeing your creativity with the lids (the winds here are too strong and they blow off for me) Thank you so much for sharing & the heads-up on the sale because I need another bolt!
I've used Tulle in my garden in the past! I have it over my "Moving Bin" Vegi Garden! I will remove the Tulle as soon as the blooms come on! Live all of your gardening ideas!!!
"Love" all your gardening ideas! 😉
Thank you!!!
How clever. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to start some sunflower seeds in ground without birds and squirrels them out of ground going to start using this. Thanks
I've also used this to wrap around my tomatoes to stop the bugs 🐛 and birds from eating them. It works!
The right Tule for the right job. Way ahead of you Darlin', I started using it last year. I have a large planting area under a huge Apple Tree. Here in Colorado we are subject to violent hail. I grow dozens of Peppers (Sweet and Hot). I cover rows with wire fencing standing on top of tomato cages (tunnel shaped), then I drape Tule over the top! It keeps bugs out. Unless I lift the sides. It keeps the hail out! Lets the sun in. Keeps Tree Debris out. And rain can go through and I can hand water right through it. I love the stuff. I might Marry it! LOL I washed it in the washing machine and bought yet another, now they are both out there. I will be buying more. I like your seedling box idea.
Oh, my goodness! Rats, birds, and my crazy black lab ate half of my orange harvest this year. At our cabin, deer are also a problem. I've almost given up gardening outside. This could be a game-changer for me. Thank you so much. I'm buying this stuff today.
LOL, the last time I used the word 'tulle' was while teaching Emily Dickinson's 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death' and now, I know how to use tulle - Thank you!
I'd use to watching you a year ago,then just didn't see you on FACEBOOK anymore I am glad you back on again. ❤❤❤❤
Crinolines, back in my day! I'm dating myself too, Robbie! 😉
Crinoline was heaver than tule in my day. lol
Yes, crinoline and netting is stiffer than tulle, used for slips like Robbie mentioned. But definitely would do a similar job, gives you options for which is cheaper for your project. Worked as a bridal consultant for over 10 years.
But that is the word for the slip with the stiffer “structural” material, well done @Lynda Klassen
Yeah, But they made us look so pretty!😊

I saw this video today. Birds were already eating my blueberries, so I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and got 20 yards of Emerald green tulle. I wrapped the bushes tonight. My husband is going to order some from the link for my vegetables. Thank you so much!!!
You make gardening easy and affordable. Thanks
My grandfather, long before vertical gardening was popular, used tulles to make slings for melons he grew on trellises. I don't remember him ever using string to tie up any plants.. always strips of tulle. My grandmum had a home business making ballet tutus so tulle was always on hand. I suppose that might be where he got the idea. Even the smallest scraps would find their way into his garden to protect a plant or tie up another. One of the things I remember most about his garden was all the colorful patches of tulle scattered about. When they got older & were unable to handle the maintenance on their home they moved to an apartment with a good sized patio. I remember it was a jungle with everything growing vertically or hanging and of course the patchwork of tulle color. Your video brought back such fond memories, thank you.
Using tulle is a great idea for keeping the rats out of my tomatoes! Loving your videos. I want to again try container gardening using your unique methods.
Thanks so much for this great gardening hack. The birds and other critters ate over 90% of my figs last year. Thanks to you, my family and I will be enjoying them this yr! God bless.❤️
I bought some bolt of tulle fm Walmart years ago for cherry tree, grapevine netting. Works great. Purple, green.
I guess you can buy tulle. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, my aunt used to use old sheer curtains, and you can often get those for free. She used it to protect her strawberries from birds and turtles. Her plants were in the ground, I don't think we ever heard of container gardening back then.
Thanks for sharing😊
I put branches over my tub to keep the cats out. Now I will ziptie some tulle to the cutout lid instead. Thanks for the tip. 😊
Kim Peters ...I do that too with some beds. A few neighbors cats get into garden and do their business. I've spent money on plastic cage trellis as well. I will definitely try tulle on the top instead of branches and fine netting.
Ballerina skirts and skating costumes too! Don't be afraid to look for those in 2nd hand to stores! But they'll be expensive there, since skating costumes are just plain expensive, no matter where you find them!
Iii
gayedawn1 has always made you love the game but I don’t
I happened on to your show a year ago and then lost it for awhile then I found you again ! I learn so much from you and Gary your gardens are so wonderful I love the earth friendly way you and Gary think and do .I love your enthusiasm! Sincerly vicki
Welcome back, so much more to come this year. Thank you so much and happy gardening.😊❤️💕🌱
Thank you for the idea of using tulle. I had recently heard of using organza (the stuff I saw had a much tighter weave than tulle, almost like a sheet), but I like your idea better because I think the airflow will be better, but I'm hoping the tulle will work as well for bugs. I haven't gardened in over 30 years, so I'm a newbie again. Zone 6a here in southeast Michigan. Just starting out small this year with a few containers. Hoping to go bigger next year, we'll see how it goes. I really enjoy your great personality and down to earth (no pun intended) approach to gardening regardless of what kind of space or budget people have. : ) P.S.- just now ordered 2 of the tulle (white) from your link.
You've saved my herbs .. totally eaten last year .. most covers are too heavy .. tulle will be perfect this year .. thanks so much!
I so love it, and so glad it worked for you, thanks so much ❤️🌱
I love that idea of putting it on a lid and making a breathable lid for my worm bin!
Ms. Robbie, you are so encouraging! I am so much wanting to get days move fast to return to my homeland & start planting my heart out😉
The tomato "volunteering itself"to grow😆😆😆
Great idea for the tote lids, Robbie, also might offer some protection from this relentless heat in Cen Cal. You have given me an idea for lining the beds of my above ground gardens too, would be worth a try against gophers and much cheaper than chicken wire. Love your little puppy at the end of the video with her tulle bow. Have a great day.
Best pest contriol idea I saw this video a day toolste!Hubby put up chicken wire, but i will be adding Tulle* too!Thank you, Thank you!Thank you, oh and did I say Thank you? "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope & Mark!
Let me check....oh yes, you did say "thank you" LOL!!!!! Have fun in the garden, 'Thank you' and take care, Robbie
So cool about the tulle! You have inspired me, I have a million birds, squirrels, rabbits, mice, a cat, and many other critters and gave up till I saw this video. Friends for life, Robbie..
I have used tulle in my garden for the last 10 or so yrs! I'm ecstatic that you are showing everyone! It also deters squirrel's
As a seamstress, I use tulle in my garden, too. I am glad you are using this material. I see more ideas. Thanks.
Wonderful! Thanks, and take care, Robbie
Great idea!!! I'm going to start my garden in tears! I'm so excited! Thank you for your videos!!!
Happy Gardening, Thank you!
Hi from Southwest TN.
This tip have saved my garden for 3 years now!
I wrap my tomato clusters loosely with tulle and secure with clothes pins. We have black worms that destroys the fruit. I pick my tomatoes as they get ripe then close the cluster. This is fantastic!
Thank you Robbie for saving my organic garden.

Years ago, i moved into a house that had a garden bed. So i bought a bunch of starts and spent several hours put them into the bed. I was so excited the next day when I woke up. I grabbed a cup of coffee and raced out to see my hard work. But unknown to me, my neighbor who was an appliance repairman, had many (about 40, i guess) old appliances in his backyard, which also house many rats. Overnight, they came into my yard and pulled out every plant, rootballs and soil included, from the ground, through the hedge between our properties and ate most of the plants. We know this because we followed the dirt and eaten to the roots plants into their yard, and even found several still munching. Wish I knew your tuille trick then. It was a very expensive lesson, from the loss of the cost of the original plants, the replacement plants, and the t-post and hardware cloth fence I had to erect around the garden i was told I needed if I wanted to ever see a plant mature. Those were very expensive meals I made from the produce. Lol
So sorry to hear about that, I know that issue well, try the Tulle works great here; I also have a new garden going up this year for pest issues of all kinds, so watch for that too, will cost more then tulle though ❤️
Perfect! I hope it works on slugs too! I have been trying to keep squirrels of my feeders and chipmunks out of my garden. You rock!
The feeder is a good idea. I have 1 squirrel that likes to bury acorns in my flower pots. I have a birds nest in 1 of my favorite hanging flower pots. Also, 1 baby rabbit is living under my house and my outside building. I live in the country. A lot of animals around.
Love it! I found a bolt at Goodwill that had metallic thread. Double bang!
Thank you so much for the best tip ever in warding off rodents, critters etc.. I've watched your hummingbird videos, made a quick fountain for them with your fantastic videos on them and now am getting Tulle!! Absolute life saver for the heartache I have gone through in the past with the critter nonsense! So, thank you so much!! God bless!
Wow Sweetie - I see that I'm 2 years late, but better late than never! You are incredible, I just love your 'Spirit and Smarts', your passion is wonderful!! I just also watched your great video about gardening in Tote containers. O M Goodness, I am 72 and dying to begin planting in my
postage size gardening area, you have me so excited :) My daughters took Ballet dance for
12 years, so I really, really understand Tulle :) Plus, I use some stacked clear Tote containers
for sweaters, pullovers, etc. in my solo bedroom. Thank you so much for your Passion and Wisdom (all on a shoestring, so to speak) - YOU really made me smile, and made my day!
~~Waving @ you from the West Coast of Canada ~~& Big Hugs and Thanks, Ursula
At 5:03 , making a Tulle tote lid cover to protest new seedlings in the garden. Works PERFECT for us!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TULLE IDEA. IT WORKS FOR BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND NOW GOING TO GROW LETTUCE IN TUB WITH CUT OUT LID REPLACED BY TULLE. THIS IS A TOP #1 TIP IN MY GARDEN!!!!
Definitely seems very useful in the garden. Stay safe friend, you and Gary 🤗
Wow! Great idea! This could solve so many rodent and bird problems. I will definitely try this.
Wow ! I didn’t know many uses for Tulle ❤️amazing channel needs more sponsors 👍🌱
I just keep coming up with things to make my life easy, and I love sharing them here, thanks, Robbie
I love tulle! I watched this video in 2020 and began using tulle in 2021! Yes it is good for so many jobs in the garden. It does everything you said it would achieve. However it keeps bad bugs out of my pumpkins and other vegetables. thank you.
So glad to have found you Robbie 🙏 Amazing tips for sure. Already made the solar powered bird bath (from the hummingbird videos! Love all of your tips as it shows gardening does not have to be expensive at all...may be we need to buy only the things we absolutely cannot make on our own. Thank you so much.
These are the smartest, inventive tips for being a better gardener and seed grower. Bravo!
Thank you so much for this great idea! Well several great ideas actually using tulle. I've been at odds with the bazillion squirrels, chipmunks and birds not to mention slugs and this will help with all of them. Just ordered 3 apple green and 1 fuchsia! Thanks for saving my garden!!! ~Tracy :-)
Been wanting to start a little garden but deterred by the pest situation- this has given me much hope to go forward and grow some stuff! Tks so much!
Oh my goodness what an idea! I never would have thought of using tulle to cover my little fruit trees and different things in my yard. Thank you so much you give me so many good ideas so your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Robbie & Gray for sharing that's an awesome tip using Tulle/Netting - I've been using frost-free netting but it doesn't last long - now I'm off to buy me some Tulle/Netting for my small garden to protect my succulents that get drowned out when it rains. Not sure if this will work but I'm going to give it a go & also to protect my broccoli from the white butterfly & lettuces. So Be It!!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much for going over the different ways you use tulle in your garden! Very versatile!! I’m going to share this with my co-worker who is having issues with birds eating the plums or pluots. I told her to use netting to protect her tree but I’m going to make sure she knows about tulle😊
What intelligent ideas!!! Thanks a lot. Will be getting some of those tulle for my okras. Wish you would show how you started your okras. Thanks for sharing.
Will do, thanks
Robbie & Gary. You guys are awesome. Robbie, I adore you and your quick and practical gardening tips, along with the tips for the incredible hummingbirds. You're great!
I'm starting to grow my garden in 2 weeks, end of March. Can't wait!!! Let's hope for a good sunny and moisty summer. Wish you all a good harvest!
I have a Halloween scarecrow with tulle and wired bells underneath that saved my first tomatoes. Now I'm going to use your great ideas too. Thanks. Love your garden.🌻🍅
Linda Linda wow thank you
I got so fed up with dealing with squash borers that I've switched to growing squash plants in containers this year and covered the plants with tulles as per your methods and been hand pollinating them. So far so good. Thanks to your great ideas!
Thanks to you Robbie I've been able to save pumpkins, watermelons, lettuce seedlings, and more. And I've been telling others about your garden saving idea.🙂
Thanks for all the great information! I learn a lot from your videos that help me in our gardens. I really enjoy the birds also in your videos. I’m thinking about making one of the solar fountains…it looks so easy.. anyway.. thanks for the valuable information 😅
You are so welcome! 😊 Thanks
My goal in life is to have a garden like that someday! You're so crafty and it's amazing
When you have a passion for anything it makes you think outside the box finding tricks and methods to enjoy your love for a hobby more fun
Million Thankyous Robbie as the clothes pegs idea for th netting ,just what I need.💖
Tulle is fine netting. So glad to learn this!!
Always wanted to use this, but figured it was just a weird unworkable idea. Or that it would break down quickly and put plastics into my soil, which I do not want.
Thank you so much for covering this, for being an organized and informative clear presenter, and for all that you are doing! I'm sharing your videos with others.
WOW!!!!!.....You have yourself a new subscriber! 😘
Welcome aboard! Thanks!!!
Brilliant! So glad I found your video. I'm totally building one today for my winter veggies 💕
I have some left over tulle in storage. The birds been nibbling on my sugar snap peas. Thanks for sharing.
Just got on your eBay reference spot and ordered one in beige and one in white tulle. Thank you 🙏🏻 Here in Upstate New York, it’ll be a while till I get to start using it outside, but just ordering it brought me a kind of happiness.😊
Wo, that’s amazing about how you are using tulle! Thank you for all the great ideas!
OMG. You Smarty You! All the applications you showed make so much sense! You can tell that some critters got Tangled in the tulle! I will definitely use this! I could pick you up and swing you around! Thank you! My husband and I won't have to spend anything for fencing! Yay!
I am so glad that your video popped up on my phone today. I ordered 2 bats of thule. Plus looking at your tubs for container gardens. I have all my tubs in my shed, not being used. I love the cinderblocks too. Instead of building a new greenhouse, I am going to plant all my lettuce in my driveway and cover them with the thule open lid frame. Great ideas! Thank you!
