How to make compost layers in Containers:
1. Branches, leaves, grass clippings
1. Paper shreds, toilet/ paper towel rolls
3. Kitchen scraps, coffee, egg shells
4. 1/4" cheap Potting Soil
Can either plant in it right away or wait til it breaks down.
Why do the grass clippings not start grass growing in your garden? I can see using them in a hot compost pile, but not understanding in a cold compost pile
@@susanblackwell3457 do you mean weed seeds from the lawn? Grass isn't going to seed in most yards. You are just cutting the stems and leaves of grass. If any seeds, more likely dandelions and other weeds.
I started gardening like you do, I’m on cape cod mass I love the compost method you use. I started slow I have a 10 by 24 deck, my only problem is is trying not to sit containers directly on wooden deck. Looking for bricks and wood scraps to keep off deck directly.
This lady deserves the nobel prize! My specialty is Butterflies& so so much of what I learned came from her!!!
😀
You have been a blessing you and your husband are amazing beautiful people I could never thank you enough for teaching and giving hope to all people, even the poorest will be able to eat the best food God bless and thank you 🙏🏻
Honestly they need to be more people viewing this channel really Love your information thank you
I agree. I'm an avid watcher and wannabee.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Take Care 😊
I tell everyone to watch Robbie!
LOVING THIS GREAT GARDEN PATRIOT !!!!!
I agree 100% so I shared on Facebook with friends n family
I think I love you. I needed a boost. I just lost my bin of compost worms to an unusually hot day and kind felt defeated. I thought about giving up any kind of gardening but you reminded me of where I started and how simple it could be. I have lost my health, my free time, my greenhouse was smashed by a fallen tree during a storm, and almost all of my plants perished. I stopped going outside. I have many containers full of old compost from the city from back when I had the health to garden, but it has dried out or been flooded or invaded by bugs... but you reminded me that I can go back to basics with what I've got. I can take that darn tree and use it for container hügelkulture and take back what it stole from me. I can refresh that compost by using it as the soil layer of a composting mound. I feel like I can maybe redeem myself and start again.
I couldn't sleep and RUclips brought me to you via a hummingbird fountain vid. Boy, am I glad I looked deeper into your channel.
Man this channel has "turned the lightbulb on"! First real garden this year finally because of her methods. So excited!
Same here! This is my first season of success!
@@mariannerapp411 I gardened last year, but this is the first year that its manageable and got results!
@@victoriagarza8 I usually get started minimally, then give up to weeds since I can't handle the weeding. I have about 50-60 containers planted now, and weeding took me about 1 minute this morning. :) Barely had to bend over, and that quack grass just pulled up easily with the soil so loose!
@@mariannerapp411 you have more containers than I have! Good for you! I'm working on it. I would like to garden year round to some degree. It's so nice to see people really trying to grow their own food! Let's keep going!🙂
@@victoriagarza8 I will if you will! :)
I'm composting in place starting in May. 1st bed came up with bok choy, what, more than I could eat. Just did 2nd bed last week. Also have 3 large pots started going to put zucchini seeds in and then carrots. This is so much fun. Had so much parsley, made pesto and had that for dinner. My goodness, grew it, made it, ate it. Thanks to Robbie and Gary.
What's new and exciting for this year?
My gosh you are just the inspiration I have needed. We are in the middle of converting so much of our yard into healthy soil, and while that is happening, this container gardening is so perfect for our family. I have already collected 10 nice containers from the thrift store for under $15. Drilled the drainage holes, and they are all filled with leaves and our homemade compost. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, and for being a bright beacon of hope! ⭐️
I finally got my garden tubs set up & the neighbors who are moving gave me 6 old chairs! Got the tubs at Big Lots cheap! I’m in NE Kansas & late to planting, busy year. Love all your ideas! Thank you!
Son gave me a larger compost pail for mother's day. We have a compost bin in our yard. My garden is 100% container. You have inspired me to start using the bins I have collecting dust in the garage. Thanks.
Oh Wow, thanks for sharing that with me, makes me feel great!!! Take care
I caught you talking about this a long time ago, and still haven't started doing it, but maybe I'll give it a try with one to start. Fall is coming now do I'll have to try growing something that grows in cold weather. I love your videos. You're so clear, and keep things so simple.
Such an informative video Robbie!! I've been watching your videos for a while now & you're the person I've learned the most from out of all the gardening accounts on RUclips! I love that you are zero waste & compost the way the earth intended it! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, I greatly appreciate you! 🙏 💞💕
I dont recognize myself... out in the mornings, digging and searching for earthworms for my containers after Robbie recommended to make an earthworm bin, but we have awful awful hard clay soil and digging for them is better and more fun!
I can't get enough of container gardening and composting in place!!! Thank you!!
You are not alone....I really think Gary has more totes then me now...just TOO funny, okay, not funny. Oh, on those earthworms, try this, put a few flower pots out around your yard with ANY soil inside, some leaves would be good, water them daily, in about a week, LIFT THEM FAST and BE READY to grab any earthworms there, and be sure to be fast, as they duck back into the soil fast....Take Care 😊
You could put cardboard down and keep it wet. Lift up and see if you get any.
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy that one seems to not work so well with our hard clay! I've tested it a couple times, but will keep trying!
I get pretty giddy when I find the worms and mentally congratulate them because they are about to move to "paradise" in the compost 😂😂😂😂😂.
I love seeing you lift your own pots and all the little wigglers are hanging out right under!
@@2L82Sk8Bye I need to get out there earlier! I've watered my cardboard a couple nights but by the time I return it's bone dry and no worms lol.
The slugs on the other hand appreciate anything flat I leave around. Blech🤢
I had no idea someone in the begining was holding the camera. Great recording skills makes these videos all winners. Oceans of respect from Florida 🌅☺
Thank you so much!
Gophers/moles/voles are my biggest problem so growing in containers is perfect for me. And little to no weeding.
Robbie your videos are always so uplifting and inspiring. I decided to grow zucchini this year for the first time, in containers of course, after seeing how well they grow for you. They are thriving and I've just had my first harvest! Thank you for continuing to make these videos and for inspiring us all to eat what we grow!!
Absolutely awesome Robbie. I do container gardening. Soil is expensive. This is my solution. I’ve taken all the notes on this video so I’ll be ready to start composting for soil.🎉🎉🎉 I’m glued to your channel. Tfs. Have a wonderful day.🤗
I have been looking for something like this for years! No nonsense, to the point, and NOT 3 hours long! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!
I am so excited to watch every single video that you have. And one more thing...How do you have SO MANY HUMMINGBIRDS?! 🤯 Can't wait to find out. God bless & best of luck for a wonderful growing season! 🥀A
My goodness Robbie thanks to the huge pepper trees you have helped thousands of people like me that are aging & want to grow our food more practical due to raising prices & most importantly due to excessive pesticides that they add to most vegetables & fruits we buy in the grocery stores!! Thank God you wanted to start growing your own food & decided to open this channel & share with us all the wonderful ideas that you had to come up with to help you solve problems as they came up!! God bless you, Gary & your fury family!! Much love ❤️ & admiration from Kentucky 🙌🏻🤗🦋🙏🏻
😊💕 thanks Robbie I always love seeing your notifications that you posted a new video
Just want to be sure no one tosses out great stuff to make their own soil, THANKS Take Care 😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I'm physically challenged and I wake up each day to fight through them, I actually didnt do a spring garden this season bc I just could keep up. But since I found you and your videos I'm getting back in the swing of things! You're a blessing to me thank you dear Robbie😊💕🙏
Thank you for all the great ideas and tips! Esp in the times we're in, re-establishing our independence and interdependence with gardening and community activities is really important! ❤️👍👍👍
You are so welcome! Thank you!
You have inspired me!! I have lots of tubs! I have 8 oak trees and endless acorns and leaves! I think I’m going to try. My sister bought a really nice raised garden thing I don’t have money for that. But this I can try. Maybe I could grow an avocado tree!! I would be thrilled!! Thank you!! You have such a nice and encouraging voice!! I love listening to to you!
OMG. This is exactly what I did just yesterday. I had to transplant my squash plants into the containers that I was going to let them grow in. I put wood chips in the bottom, added card broad, kitchen scraps, compost and potting mix. After I did it, I was second guessing myself if I should have done it that way. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I remember the first time I saw the video you did in 2017. I didn’t see it for the first time until 2018. I have always composted since I started gardening. I loved your idea of composting in place. So much so that I started doing the same thing in 2019. The parts of my garden that are doing the best are the sections where I started composting in place, just dump everything right into the ground. I do cover with a layer of dirt to discourage critters from coming and digging in the middle of the night. I have dogs so I don’t have to worry about it during the day. But every time I go out to my garden, I think of you Robbie and your great idea! Much love, from Central Texas😊
Robbie ,you inspire me greatly and i m eating what i have grown lately .much love and thanks 🙏
I just ordered (4-19-22), 6 more totes from WalMart. Their price has increased more than $2 each in just 2 months! And are now $8.33 each-including tax. Free shipping. But, I have NO clue what they'll be in a year's time-IF you can still find them.
I have recommended your life saving videos to more people than I can remember, and everyone LOVES your common sense, down-to-earth, and positive attitude. And, almost ANYONE can garden the way you do. Little outdoor space? Then your vertical bucket gardening is for them! Can't bend over? Then have someone place your totes higher up on chairs, blocks, tables... No organic sticks or brown leaves to start layering your totes/buckets? Like you suggested-head to a neighbor, that uses nonchemicals on their yard, and barter work for them. Your suggestions are so normal. And your suggestion to just grow something-anything, should be easy to do.
Please keep up these valuable videos. You are literally saving people's lives-whether mentally and/or physically-we all NEED to have something to look forward to. And nothing beats watching new life sprout from seeds!! SEEDS that become edible food, or even the beauty of flowers. Edible 💐. Blessings.
Thanks Robbie. Your compost videos never get old.
I remember your video showing composting in place for the first time. I had been doing the same but in a compost bin. Then I thought , cut out the middle man , like you . It works fabulously .
I started building my totes this early spring (Southwest Florida) did a late round of tomatoes and they did good. Now need to keep building more soil in totes so when our growing season starts in late September I should have some good compost now that our hot rainy season is here.
I absolutely love that you use nature as your guide. That's way I watch your channel and try to follow as best I can your style.
Hello Ma'am..
This is Varun from India..
I love the way you choose the "Best from the Waste"
All the Best 👍
Regards🙏
You are exactly like my best and favorite college teacher. Yes, I love your informational reviews. ♥️👩🏼🌾♥️
I started using your method and it works wonders. My plants are loving the compost underneath the roots
Hi Robbie and Gary, Thank you so much Robbie and Gary for doing this video! I have wanted to start something like this and now I have a much better idea of how to do this.
I have my totes up and because of what is going on in my life, I have not had much time for it all. But I have Bean plants growing, a bit of Kale, some lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, beats, in the totes But I have a wild growing potatoe plant that has taken up residence in my 'Compost Dump Pile' that is just on top of the grass and some of my Raspberry Bushes have encrouched on this stop and not I have a Potatoe Plant and a Lemon Balm that are all liking it! Personally I LOVE your VIDEOS! Also, I have passed the information about your videos/channel to others that have become slightly interesed in Tote Gardening. God Bless you in all this. Sherry:)
I'm so glad I found your channel...I love lazy gardening, & making dirt like you, has saved me so much money! This yr I've been pulling out all the big cardboard boxes, masking taping them for sturdiness, & using them as "containers". I had this light bulb go off...I can reuse the masking tape by removing it & gluing it to new cardboard boxes...not that beautiful, but CHEAP!
Now I'm not only lazy but cheap...& PROUD OF IT. Thank you, Robbie.
I watched that 2017 video several times, it is my favourite !
Oh, yes. That's how I found THESE TWO. LOL
always an inspiration....I am growing this way now....I still have raised beds, but I love the totes because it composts down so quickly and the veggies grow well in it...thanks Robbie
I Loooooove this idea. Our sandy soil is perfect for growing alfalfa but not much else. Plus, we have a deer problem. I like the idea of cages and composting in place in plain old plastic bins. Wow! Nice. Thank you.
I have also started saving the water from steaming my veggies and using that to water my compost bins.
we build an approx 4x8x4 feet high compost area out of pallets and used plywood. We put all our food scraps, leaves, small branches into that thing. At first it was slow to decompose, but now I can't even keep up with it. We fill it up to the top and in a week it sank 1 foot! We have not use our green bin for more than 2 years now. We have not use the compost from it yet but the tree near by have not been fertilized by me over 1 year now and they have the best growth over the summer. We don't turn nor do any work to the pile, the microbes/insects do all the work.
We don't compost meat, dairies but we do have egg shells in there, so far, no rodents in it ... yet. Thank you for sharing your method.
I’ve just discovered you today, March 2022. I am in the UK and have large trees that take the water and I really struggle to grow good stuff even though I seem to spend a fortune in plants, seeds and bulbs. I’m looking forward to following you and making container gardening work for me. Keep up the good work and thank you 😊
I love this video I have been doing this for some time now i have a name for it! I drive around in the fall and pick up bags of leaves from the curb, first in 2020 i wound up with 40 bags in a few weeks and am just now getting to the bottom of the pile. I get free truckloads of wood chips from my cities green dump, grass clippings plant left overs scraps... more compost than i can use year round.
Thank you so much for NOT including music in your videos!
Hi Robbie. Ive been a subscriber for a year or so & i started my first tub about 8 months ago, I planted beets and had no luck. I added a little more greens in the form of grass clippings. After I covered the grass with about an inch of potting soil & planted an assortment of onions and they are growing wonderfully. Just wanted to tell you.
I do have a question about tulle. If I wanted to cover top & sides with it, would the sun still be able to reach the plants ?( I hope I spelled tulle correctly. )
Yes it will.
every time i watch one of your videos I learn something new!!!! A big thank you!!!!
In California you can grow anything. Here in Tx is a bit more hit and miss with me.
Thank you for making your videos! They are much needed!
Thank you so much fighting gophers you're such a blessing. .
I love watching your videos. (I watch more than once. I even take notes🤓. Ok, don’t make fun of me.) There is so much valuable information. I learn so much. Thank you. 🧡
If we ever had rolling electricity or net, you'll have your notes....no knd will laugh at you!
Great wisdom you are a treasure to so many of US
I LOVE how you put in the dates
Oh Robbie I just love ur gardening!!!!! I have learned soo much from you!!! Thank u soo much for sharing!!!!!
4:36 I just love watching you. Started watching for the hummingbirds, but you have inspired me to start composting. You 2 are treasures. This is the ONLY channel am a member of, and of all the channels I have watched that are related to your topics, yours is the only I trust. Thank You for this channel ❤
I love your channel Robbie and Gary!
Thanks so much
My hubby gets free styrofoam containers from work. I wonder if I can grow most veggies in those. Thank you for the inspiration 💚
ABSOLUTELY
I want to see a video of you doing the things in the garden, also one where you take the food from the garden inside and make your meals. You tell us a lot but I'd rather see you doing what you tell us you plan to do with certain things, yes I'm grateful for every bit of info you share but would love to see "more"
IT'S my 2nd yr. growing in totes. THANKS for all that great advice. AT 82 it sure helps the ole back. There are so many worms I believe it's also a worm farm. Q -- I have holes in the front to catch the water and the water is very dark brown. I think I should dilute the water because when I pour it back in and it touches the leaves of my plants, it discolors them and maybe burns the leaves[[to strong ? or is it something else ? THANKS for the GREAT videos.
I think you should dilute it by half at least I do
@@gabbyrico4877 THANKS, I thought so because it looked strong .
I dilute mine also. When the runoff begins to turn a pale tea color, I use it straight and add some more compost back to the bin.
@@maydaygarden GREAT IDEA ...
I have grown with pool noodles on bottom cut up old cut up branches pinecones etc anything the roots can grow around just top with soil. Itakes for light pots. I have grown watermelons cantelopes tom. Etc and they do great.
great reminder robbie, thanks :-)
No worries, Take Care 😊
I learned this from you and never stopped! Thanks for sharing 💜
Thanks Mrs. Robbie! This was right on time. First time composting. You're the best!
You are so welcome!
This is So Helpful! I always learn things from you! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us.
Lol ,rabbits is what started my container garden 35 years ago.
I just love containers. I used compost cz it was free. Applying what I am learning from you.
I love yr enthusiasm! 👍😊🙏
😊 thank you
A lot of communities have where they take all of their scraps from their garden. If you can get to that place there should be plenty of broken down scraps that is now pure gold!. It usually has from old plants to grass clippings to tree limbs to you name it it's probably there and it's probably broken down into beautiful soil!
This makes perfect sense!
Thanks!
That was the video that encouraged me to start to garden. You made it look so easy!!!! And it is just that simple!!! Thank You for your help!!!
Thanx. I was always taught that you cannot use meat scraps and bones in your compost. I’ll have try that. I was also told you have have to remove the inner membrane from the egg shell. So now with this information I will begin the process.
I throw dead rats I catch in the traps , last year I buried 2 rats and planted a pumpkin on top and that pumpkin vine went absolutely crazy!
God bless you! Thank you for what you do to encourage others to grow!
great idear ive never thought to do this when im spending a fortune on large bags of compost
Thanks for sharing. God's blessings always 🙏Hallelujah Grace Shalom. A fellow RUclips creator.
You are so welcome, Take Care 😊
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I am in love with your channel. You always have the most wonderful information. I look forward to each one. Hugs
I used your method from 2017 worked well!
Time to go get some containers!!! ❤
Wow I am a starting gardening and your videos are very incouraging
Thank you for another tips my frend..i had do the same for my firstime gardenning from last year. I do compost in one place and i lookforward i can use some of them this year i hope..you inspire mig to motivati more.. injoy gardening 👌🥒🍅
Wow...love watching your video and especially going back to 2017...I wish I was watching you back then. But I am watching you now. Thank you very much !!!!!
Honey..can you use pine needles in place of wood chips?
Also, can you compost tomato plants?
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY!!! ❤️
Amazing as always. 😍🤩🥰
LOL! Such a timely video...I just bought my first two totes (with lids of course). 😄
A beautiful video of what nature can do with very little of it's gifts. I am gonna try lots of what I've seen in this video in my grden
Thank you so much 😊
You are an inspiration to me
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey just been absolutely loving your style of gardening and I just started my journey in container gardening last years winter so yeah still got a lot to learn. Can’t wait for your future videos :) thanks for the info
👍🏻 awesome
Take Care 😊
Beautiful lady x thank you so much and much love from the UK xx
I’m doing this now. Yes! However, I’m finding holes in bottom work better… but I will know by time next year… got three bins w holes on side… but most of mine are raised up on blocks and 2x4s and I haven’t got a problem with roots, but I have rabbits so I need stuff up. And it’s good for my bum leg… this system is fabulous! For so many reasons… if I move, my garden is pre packed… I’m also experimenting with ‘traditional’ wicking bed… I’m in desert… I’ve made a video about this and have included a shout out to you and a link to this video. This is probably the most valuable thing that everyone should know. 💕👩🌾🙏🐝👏🌈🤪🍀👍🦋
thank you for the tip,
Wow simply amazing thank you ❤
Thank you for your video you just save me a ton of money 💰 ❤
best idea guys thank you so much I like your tv
glad found you! will try to share your site!
Another good one! Thank you. I finally have my hubby helping me think of ways to container garden, and bring it up so my back thanks me. 😁 Robbie, you look like you did in 2017! Isn't that cool?!
Do you add manures to your compost? If so how much do you add per tote?
I watched it. i tried it. i came back and watched again. I learned more, i have some experience now, i know which part is what i haven't learned before. 😁
Sometimes, i kept kitchen scraps too long, even 4 days, they look like moldy, will that give me bad soil? Thanks.
I’m starting this method today! I too am in Southern California 🤗 but I’m using a cardboard box for my bin. Do you think that will work out? My husband and I are new to gardening but so far are just loving container and bin gardening!!!
I think you mean you are going to compost in a box and/or grow in it, check this out AND the new one I put up today too, thanks ruclips.net/video/3GmQBzM4tWg/видео.html
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy - 😂😂😂- oops! I did mean composting 🤪
Thank you so much for replying and I’ll be sure to check out your new video. We’re loving your channel! Happy growing!!!
I appreciate what you're doing thank you 💕💕
I've been do this! Its great!
Yes, like you said, this is wonderful!
I love this!
I was trying to find worms but our ground was too hard. I was wondering about buying bait worms, are these safe? I figure they are from work farms but I don't know much about worm farms. I tell you this a lot but I am so excited to have found your channel.
I also thought I should start off with bait worms but I didn't need to. Truly, the worms will come all by themselves if you are composting in place. It's like magic! I didn't believe it until I turned out one of my containers the other day, replacing bolted lettuce with a zucchini plant, and I was stunned by what I saw. Worms everywhere! Robbie and Gary rock!!!!
@@janetbrown3349 thanks
I am in the desert and yep, the worms come. Just give them food - wet, in darkness. Once you start, you can have endless worms.
Great advise thanks 👍😀
