Thank you for this one. I'm just starting out with a "retirement" garden, and a mixture of raised beds, containers, and grow bags. All of the info is useful. Your presentations are always fun and informative. I'm looking forward to the tomato video.
Tori Kidwell - Remember, every NEW thing is an "experiment." Of course, with Brian's great videos, you're gonna do better than most!
Awesome tips! Thank you!
I'm glad I found your channel. I've wanted a garden for years and finally got one started last year. My garden is definitely my happy place. Thank you for your quality content.
My thin fabric pots are probably the reason why my plants do “just ok”. I live probably a few miles from you and my plants seem to do much better in the fall and early spring than the summer because of how dry it is.
I’d love to try out these bags. Love the idea that they have a liner. I wish they came in black and had handles! Handles are really helpful when I need to reposition a plant, especially since I have some disabilities.
I work for grass roots fabric pots and we can do black pots with handles at your request 😁
You can probably finagle a liner by inserting / clipping / sewing a food grade bird seed / farm animal feed or cat/dog food bag liner inside your existing bags in the same manner. The bags that feel tarp-like, not the paper plastic-lined ones.
I already bought a number of regular grow bags myself and don't have the budget (or room...I live in an apartment) to invest in more at this time.
I have collected large bird and cat feed bags. Most of which I repurposed to do a potato growing experiment. I have a couple of extra leftover and will be trying this grow bag liner format.
One of my big problems is watering and fertilizing on a schedule. Especially in deep summer. I just came up with a slow drip waterer with repurposed Arizona green tea + ginseng 34 oz. bottles. Total water reservoir capacity lands at about 40-42 oz. The bottles are sturdy and can be found cheap at Dollar tree. The standard 32 oz Gatorade bottles are 2nd best.
The other DIY designs I've seen drip too fast. The way I set mine up greatly minimizes evaporation as well. It's not elaborate at all. Nor expensive to do. All you need is household items you probably already have on hand.
I left details on the construction on the one vid he has on the channel going over drip irrigation.
Not too many comments there compared to this video. It was in reply to an Amy S. if you're interested since it's kind of a lot to retype again. 😏 Works for keeping your plants alive while on vacation as well.
I've gotten steady drips once every 15-45 seconds vs. every ~5 seconds shown on a lot of the other DIY vids.
Nowadays for my location anyway we have both type of climates during the summer. Crazy rainy weather between heat waves so fabric seems to not be a good option unless you have a self-watering system.
Container gardening videos are my favorite! because I live in a apartment so I have no choice but to grow in Containers! So I grow everything in containers but my favorite thing to grow is definitely tomatoes.
I am truly one of those COVID gardeners you spoke of..u made it so easy to apply what u learned in "real time"
Thank you!
Newly retired and setting up our container garden, perfect timing! We have sweet potatoes, squashes, peppers and tomatoes in containers and working on more veggies.
Thank you for all your videos and time.
I had never heard of grow bags until this year. I have already bought a few different kinds to try out. This is the first year that I will be doing a real vegetable garden. I do have two blueberry bushes that have been growing in large storage totes for quite a few years. These gardening videos are very helpful and inspiring!
I just set up my first container garden in a utility cart so I can pull it in and out of sunlight as needed. Excited to see how it does. Starting it from seed. Wish me luck!
Ohh clever idea
wow what a great idea. I had limited sun in my back yard last year and had to move all my pots 3 times a day following the sunlight!! i had the trees cut down this year so I could grow some veggies getting too old to move pots. Good luck hope is goes well!
I am the queen of putting in too much effort to have nothing work well in the garden (says my husband). I am going to finally prove him wrong this year with grow bags! I plan to grow tomatoes, pole beans, peppers, watermelon and probably more. I'm thinking these bags will work best because I live in a hot/dry place in the summer and hopefully wont have to water as much as other bags. And thank you for all your amazing videos. I've learned a ton.
Wish I found you a Long Time ago.
Outstanding Content and the smooth, gentle presentation.
It's how I teach my beekeeping students.
Thank you for that description of exactly what the air-pruning process is, and how it makes the plant healthier!
Many shorter roots spreading, vs. one l-o-n-g one wrapping around. You have the knack for packing a lot of knowledge into easy to absorb bites without dumbing down.
What I did was put a plant saucer under the bag. That helped tremendously with preventing the soil from drying out. I've grown potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes in grow bags. I would love to try something like a cucumber so I can let it sprawl with out endangering other plants.
This is my first year to try growing a garden. I was afraid to put plant saucers under my black grow bags. I thought that would cause root rot.
@@deenataylor9015 it would if you lived in a place that wasn’t as arid as us. If you’re in, say, Michigan, you might not do it. But we regularly have 6% humidity in the summer so everything evaporates SUPER quickly.
I grow lots of cucumbers in mine. Last year I did an experiment and was able to do cukes in a 1 gallon container - though you have to water twice a day and give them full strength fish fert weekly, but it did work. My other cukes are in grow bags (7gal) and they’re super happy. :)
@@deenataylor9015 It didn't for me so my guess is that it would work for you too. You are still exposing the sides to air but it seemed like most of the moisture went out the bottom.
@@melissasullivan1658 I live in Alabama. Lots of heat and humidity.
I've always wondered how effective grow bags were. My main concern was how much water they would need. I imagined water would evaporate pretty quickly thru them, necessitating constant watering. Nice to know this company has addressed this issue with the liner. And I didn't know that grow bags encourage root pruning. Will definitely have to give these a try.
As I said on your other video I am so happy you informed us of these new fabric pots. I have tomatoes growing in the traditional growbags and they are not thriving as they are in my raised beds. I'm using your hooks for my tomatoes in the raised beds and appreciate your technique you used in the fabric pot. Thank you for all the information. I also want to say how much I love your book and I use it constantly. I could really use those grassroots fabric pots.
You are my go-to gardener, especially when it comes to container gardening.
I just started fabric containers this year. Looking forward to getting away from plastic containers. Learning so much from your videos. Thanks👍
Love how simple you’re instructions are to follow. Container bags are new to me but gave them a shot this season to grow carrots, lettuce, book chop and more! Easy to fill and move around since I’m not a spring chicken anymore! Thank you for all of the excellent advice.
I love container gardening. so much flexibility to them. :)
Thanks for this video Brian. With my small veg garden I'm always trying to find new ways to get more vegetables growing and pots seem to be the best way. Not sure where I'll find room to put them or what to grow in them yet lol. I already grow lettuce, spinach and multiplier onions (green onions) in small wooden boxes I made and keep on the back porch in amongst my pots of herbs. I've been gardening for many years and I love that I am still learning new things by watching you!
Raised beds and containers have become my go to. With a smallish yard, poor soil, active dog, and a high varmit population there’s not much point in planting in ground. Currently using a recycled galvanized trash can, a 10 gallon plastic bucket and a 28” x 28” x 24” raised bed with a cypress frame and corrugated metal sides (salvaged from a neighbors unsuccessful rabbit hutch). The raised bed and garbage can started as compost projects for a year before planting anything in them and still have a substantial worm population. Have made some improvements based on lessons learned and will make more based on your videos.
It's good to see the drying out issues of fabric pots addressed!
I always know I can trust your recommendations because I can tell you’re a man of integrity & would only endorse quality products. I mostly use grow boxes and garden in the dirt, but I do use some regular pots which I’m ditching in favor of these grow bags. Thanks for the great education. Love your teaching style.
I love all your gardening tips. Been a subscriber for a while. I'm in my 60's and am always looking for a little easier way to garden and this would be perfect. Will definitely try these. THANKS!❤
I enjoy your videos so much and even though I consider myself a pretty seasoned gardener, I always learn something new. I just started container gardening because of health issues a couple years ago and it's definitely a different world from growing in the ground! Thanks for all you do.
This is the first year I'm using bags to grow Potatoes and one Tomato. Everything I have learned about Tomatoes I have learned from you. Thank you
Hello! From SE Iowa, listening to your videos for the first time this week and learning much.
I have mostly planted tomatoes in pots or buckets and am now getting into bag planting; the bags you spoke of are attractive and you have sold me on the durable versatile options! I am ready to try, but on a tight budget, aren't we all! I would love to enter my family into the sweepstakes for a few free. Thank you in advance! Ann
Absolutely loved this presentation! Now I know why I've had disappointing results using plastic buckets. I want to expand my small growing space this year so I am really excited about the grow bags designed for hot weather and will be ordering. Thank you Brian for this timely video.
I’m new to gardening and container gardening and love your videos. They’re so helpful and informative. I would love some of the containers you are giving away to start my journey growing tomatoes and even some herbs. These pots would be perfect for growing at an apartment complex along our driveway! I’ve been watching your videos, absorbing as much info as I can. Thank you for all you do!
Can't wait to start using grow bags for the first time this year! Going to be trying potatoes and some tomatoes this year! Great video and tips!
These grow pots seem much better than the black ones I have potatoes growing in currently. The potatoes are growing well, but it is the first crop that has done so. I love that these have liners. I also love how you explained the benefits of grow pots over other containers! I always come away from your videos with a new tidbit of info to share with my hubby!
I have drainage and light issues, so most of my veggie gardening is done in containers. I always learn something interesting and new from you. Many thanks from zone 6b in Kentucky!
Just starting a greenhouse and just started with fabric pots. Loving it so far.
Great!
These tips are SO helpful! This will be my first year gardening. Watching your content has given me the confidence to jump right in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You're welcome 😊
My whole garden is in containers. I've grown peppers, determinate and indeterminate tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and squash. My containers are 5 gallon buckets with lots of drilled holes for water drainage. Thank you for the videos!! My favorites so far are the companion plant ones. This one was great for confirming I'm doing a lot of things right. I will be checking out the cloth pots.
Do you have anything on growing asparagus?
Asparagus takes a year to actually produce for eating, granted I live here in Illinois, I planted it last year, and hoping that it comes back this year! After that it is supposed to almost be like a weed it grows so fast.
Hello! Would also like some tips for asparagus...I got 44 shoots but the (stems?) are like loooong hair and I can't tell if the root system is healthy (4 each to one quart creamer containers) firm with a tug...was just going to cut the bottom out and push through
@@kazimierapollitt8783 My question is...I just bought a transplant for my garden but it is a "glob" of "dill" looking plants. Do I separate them? Or open their root system? It seems they want to be a challenge in the beginning.
@@Nancy-ch3vx The first year they are going to look a lot like dill, you won't get aspargus the first year, depending on how large of a container, let them be the first year they should be strong enough the second year to split, aspargus can handle the illinois weather so I can only give you advise from this area, not sure how it is in California.
@@kazimierapollitt8783 THANK YOU!! That's exactly what I needed to know. I'm in GA so if it is working in IL, I should be able to make it happen here. Thanks again.
I had to dismantle my raised bed "Urban Garden" after some years of service. Thanks to your video on Grow Bags, I am back in business. Thank you!!!
I really like the fabric pots. I am in the Caribbean where rain can be feast or famine. The fabric pots really help keep the plants from drowning when we have torrential rains.
I am always intrigued by your videos with your easy to follow instructions.
Today's video - How To Grow Any Vegetables In A Pot Or Container - is definitely an eye opener for me to start implementing.
1. Choosing the right container.
2. Size matters.
3. Watering Technique.
4. Right Soil.
5. Type of vegetables to grow.
6. Fertiliz in containers.
These are all key pointers for me.
The Grassroots Planters are quite fascinating and seems ideal for container planting. I would definitely like to try them.
I am glad you are sharing your experiences both good and bad so we can eliminate mistakes.
I took a bold step to follow your Easy steps To Grow Sweet Potatoes. It really works. Today I am ready to transplant the rooted shoots.
Thanks for the excellent help for two newbie gardeners who are also senior citizens!
I am a newbie ... never gardened before, but because I keep hearing about how we should all grow our own fruits & veggies with the looming food shortages, I am going to try my hand at growing a veg garden in pots. Thanks for all your tips...wish me luck!
We grew a few potatoes in a fabric pot last year. It was a sort of experiment. I say “we”, but it was my son, and he didn’t research. Had I known that, I would’ve been all over that pot! They didn’t continuously mound the soil up over the nodes as the plant grew. They did water it, of course. It did not die, and we got several rather small potatoes. If we plant potatoes again, I’ll definitely get in there.
We really want the fabric pots to grow our tomatoes in. We have been trying to grow tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets for 3 years now without much success. After researching fabric pots, we can't wait to try them. We have been following you for a couple of years now and really, really appreciate all the wonderful teaching and help you give. Also, love all the links you provide. ❤️
What a great idea having the few inches below the lining on the Grassroots pots unlined. I always wondered how grow bag gardeners avoided the drying out issue.
You never fail to teach me something new and inspire me to grow more.
Thanks Brian
My daughter and i are going to be doing container gardening this year. I have planted a garden before but she hasn't, we are both new to it. We've been planning and your video has helped tremendously. It's kind of overwhelming when it's new. Saving this video! Thank you!
I started gardening and turned to your videos for information and how to plant and care for my garden. I have been at this for almost two years and I enjoy your videos. Planting tomatoes now and had to pull a couple of plants due to water log. Still making rookie mistakes.🤷🏽. I forgot the container had garden soil in it. Keep teaching and thank you.
This video VERY important to novice gardeners! This is my second yr of gardening and because of space I want to grow potatoes in 5 gal buckets. I have 3 raised (and working on a fourth bed) beds and they will be full of vegetables, thanx to you! Love all your videos.
I love container gardening. Living in the city, you sometimes dont get the space for it. Containers allow me to get my own produce growing in the smallest space. ❤️
As a renter, I need to do all my gardening in containers. Super inspired to try growing sweet corn in one of those huge grow bags. Thanks for the great idea!
I find your videos very informative. I've learned quite a lot. I continue to re-watch them. First time starting vegetable plants by seed. Really enjoying watching the plants grow. Also attempting winter sowing. Not doing well with this. I'm attempting container growing and had bought some fabric pots for this season. We'll see how things go this season. Have not had any luck previous seasons in plastic pots. Usually get plants from garden centers. Last year none of my plants grew (stunted) or they were eaten by the local bunnies. Usually my green thumb is nonexistent. Hopefully with all the information I've learned from your videos I will grow a green thumb. Thank you for all the wonderful content.
Your videos are always so informative. I have been cautious of containers, but I am willing to give them a try after seeing your dahlias behind you. So beautiful.
I grow in fabric pots. Last year i did corn in 2 this year 4. I also did squash in a large one. Love the fabric containers. I did have the drying out issue and did drip irrigation. And had no issues since!
I have recently started getting into vegetable and fruit gardening and it has been an eye opening, learning and joyful journey for me. I would have looked at the grow bag and not think anything of it and lo and behold there is more to that grow bag than what I would have thought. My grand son's school (he is 10 years) are asking for volunteers to be part of the school's newly formed eco-gardening project with the students. I feel inadequate as I do not have much knowledge to contribute. I suppose they would accept volunteers who can provide the muscles as much as ones with experience 🙂
Sorry I missed the container giveaway. I plant just about everything in containers due to bad soil, deer and rabbits. I'm a novice gardener and have destroyed a lot of plants simply because I am just learning how to garden. I love your channel and think you are a great teacher.
This is the first time I'm using fabric pots. Also my first time growing anything since 1990. I have 2 determinate tomatoes . So far , so good they haven't died ,yet
I love that Grass Roots has designed fabric pots for HOT climates! I have wanted to try some fabric pots but have seen mixed reviews. I am excited to check these out!
I love growing in containers especially potatoes, sunchokes, and dahlias.
I've been growing tomatoes for decades, but I'm excited about this staking method and trying grow bags this summer.
I grow in fabric pots 30-35% of my plants her in the Midwest. I usually put a saucer under it to catch water run off. I have purchased them x 3 yrs.
The nephew is started a garden in the backyard of a mother who will not give up ground. So containers are his option. Thanks, Kevin
Always learn something! Love the old school Nintendo shirt! Up,up down, down left right,left right b a select start!
I grew tomatillos in black felt pots. I had to water twice a day. Never again. My hubby grew a peach tree close to my raised bed. Too much shade and no peaches to boot. Aye, aye, aye! So, he built me 2 more raised beds. Let’s see how much produce I can grow. I’m so late in zone 9a. Glad you reminded me about shade cloth in your other video. Good luck everyone! 💜🌱💜
Thank you. First time gardner. Usually learning after a mistake lol.
All my seedlings germinated.
Now have had to give many away. Thanks for all your education. It has made a world of difference.♥️
I grew green peppers, tomatoes and zucchini successfully in garden bags and will continue. Love your tips. Thank you!
I started with fabric pots this year for the first time. I moved to a condo from a home with 6 acres. The only place that I can plant is on my small sunny deck. I love your videos.
Great tips and I needed them since I have planted in #5 tubs/totes. I planted carrots, spinach, leaf lettuce, radishes, potatoes and squash. Since these are all big totes, after hearing your information about the roots, I realized I could have planted all, but the potatoes in smaller totes. Oh well, it’s a learning experience. Once my radishes are ready to harvest I’ll plant something that needs lots of room to grow in and do my next batch of radishes in something smaller. Oh, I’d love to have some of them growing bags! I’m trying to convert to all containers by next year. Ground gardening is just to hard on me the older I get. Thanks again for the great info! We appreciate you, Brian!
You do a wonderful job explaining everything while you keep it simple.
Thank you
I live in Colorado. Cold and very dry. I like using bags because we have unpredictable weather, including sudden snow in June. A bags allows me to grab them and move them into my garage for days like that. These bags seem much better for growing here. Will definitely get some
Love the idea of a fabric pot. Lighter in weight and in the off season just fold it up. Thanks.
Thank you!! I started a container garden last year but this year I got brave or cocky and decided to plot out 8 4X8 raises beds lol idk what I'm doing though but thanks to your channel and other like it I've been able to provide fresh veggies to our family and that's so rewarding!! GOD bless!
I got a lot from this video. I rent a little house with a tiny backyard and am trying to fill it with veggies in pots. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.
I too live in a very dry climate in southern New Mexico. When you showed the lined fabric it pricked my interest. I bought some regular grow bags and just filled this past week. First time trying them so I don’t have experience to compare yet. This was a very helpful video.
Many years ago I grew Bell Peppers very successfully in 1 gallon plastic milk bottles. Cut them so that the handles were retained in order to hang by a 1 inch metal conduit pipe system held up by 4x4's. Did this because I am a quadriplegic and needed a 'raised' system to reach the plants. This was long before fancy ''table styled' raised beds were developed. Have since gone onto using 1-10 gallon Nursery pots on shelves of Decking boards fitted through concrete building blocks. Thanks for the info about the number grade on the bottom of these pots........had no idea about that. The bags are another idea I will try.
This is the first year I will be trying container gardening. I have some crops that just don’t grow very well in our regular garden. This video contains some great tips.
Great video! I've been flower and shrub gardening for 20 years but had limited space for vegetable gardening, with limited success with containers. The tips you've presented are excellent and I may give it another try. Never heard of the fabric bags before! They would be great since they can be easily stored! I appreciate that you have tested products before showing them on your videos, so we can know they are of good quality. Thank you! 🌻
Your channel is my "GO TO" for my new wonderfully creative and rewarding hobby. I live in central Oregon which has a short growing season but I have high hopes for a crop that is plentiful! Thank you!
Thank you!
Just redesigned my garden to raised beds & I want to do fabric pots all around the beds to get more growing space. Glad to hear about these fabric pots.
I love container Gardening. For me, I like the ability to move the plants around based on light, convenience, ect.. great video. thanks
Thank you for all your videos! I took a break from gardening for a year because I began to work 2 jobs but now I'm getting back to it and.....I started some Kelloggs breakfast tomatoes because every time you talk about them I just want to taste one! I'm hoping I have a better gardening season than I did last time.
Love my fabric pots. They are so easy to move around. I do have to WATER often. Sticking to regular drip schedule for raised beds isn't enough. Thanks for the chance to win the Grassroots pots!
thank you for this one. So many little things you think you already know, but there is always something new. thanks
I love my fabric grow bags. My one gallon bags are hard to keep moist, so I put them in a kiddie pool with a couple inches of water. I use grass clippings for mulch, and that keeps my other bags moist. I water every third dry day except when it's super hot. I'm in Missouri where it stays pretty humid and rains often enough.
Thank you for your great videos. I live in California and without lots of rain, water proof sides of the containers make sense. Also your recommendations come from a good period of actual usages are very much appreciated!
I’m so glad I didn’t order the “other” fabric containers. I cannot wait to get my grass roots container for this year, while in limbo, and garden absent!
I just planted 4 tomatoes and a whole bunch of herbs in containers. I also raise other veggies in raised beds. Thanks for all the videos.
Great educational video! I am a beginner gardener, and I collected vital information to start my vegetable garden. I can’t wait to buy these fabric pots. Thank you!
I live in NE Ohio and bought a five pack of 7 gallon fabric pots off Amazon for around $17. They are now almost double the price. I did have good luck growing sun sugar yellow cherry tomatoes. I will use bigger pots for tomatoes this year based on your video.
I would for sure use this fabric pot to grow a tomato plant! Nothing better!
Our daughter loves cucumbers and this would be a great way to grow a bush cucumber on her patio!
I love using grow bags! These lines bags may be a must for me as I live in a desert climate. Thank you for your easy to understand videos.
Thank you. Retirement gardener trying to help feed some of the suburban neighborhood for a second year. Expanding this year to incorporate several of your tips and methods.
This is my second year gardening in containers. This year I am trying grow bags so I look forward to experimenting and learning with them. Thanks for the helpful tips.
Fantastic tips.. I've been growing in fabric pots since seeing your videos a few years back. Easy to use... easy to store...
Love your videos Brian. I learn so much from them. I have used those black fabric pots with poor results. They take so much water and after a couple of years in the sun they were useless. I am in Bear Valley Springs in the Tehachapi mountains. We have lots of microclimate up here, I think I am 8A. Lots of challenges with wildlife here too.The pots would allow me to start inside earlier under grow lights and move outside after last frost. Tomatoes don't go out until after Mother's day up here. Lost our greenhouse last year in a huge tornado-like windstorm last year. 😢
Those pink dahlias are so beautiful and healthy looking! I tried growing peppers and herbs in Walmart bags last year with moderate success. I’m in San Marcos, CA - just couldn’t keep up with watering, plus we don’t get enough sun. The bags barely made it through 1 season before falling apart.
I've just started using fabric pots, so far potatoes and tomatoes LOVE them. I live in mid-Illinois so we're at the mercy of the weather so I've yet to test them to the extreme. Most of my containers are roughly-made wooden bushel baskets (Rural King for five bucks!) And they are great on a variety of plants. Potatoes really took off in those.
Thank you for providing container information for us small gardeners. I want to grow tomatoes this year. Love your channel!!!
Everything that I plant is in a container or raised bed. Thanks for all your wonderful tips.
I grow everything in containers! Our ground is too hard to dig in. Thanks for all knowledge you share!
I love using fabric pot. Love being able to move them around so I have a different layout every year.
My instincts would not allow me to try the other fabric pots, mainly because everyone says how quickly they dry out. But waterproof-lined grow bags, now you're speaking my language. I would definitely like to check this out. Thanks for sharing.
Learned so much today about container gardening. Hopefully will have a better season this year.
