You should be on prescription. Everyone should be getting a daily dose of your encouragement, joy and positivity. Every video of yours I watch I've left so inspired. I'm 50 and have spinal cord injuries from assault and spinal arthritis. I love my garden - I NEED it for sanity and therapy - but my spine isn't fit for digging and bending any more. Sometimes I can't even access it at all - depending on pain levels. To set up towers like this just outside my back door would be a godsend to me. I'd have my food accessible all year and just to have soil to push my hands into.... I have been so grateful for your videos in the past. I am MOST grateful for this one. Bless your cotton socks good lady. Thank you for being fabulously you and sharing this
Thank you soo much for these videos. My Dad always had a garden and always shared the fruit of his labors, so I never really had a need to garden. But, my Dad passed away and I just bought a house and have no idea on any type of gardening. I have been watching countless videos on how to garden and I have been overwhelmed. But, then I came across your videos.. I am so happy!!! I think I can do this!! No! I know I can! Thank you and your Hubby sooo much for putting up these videos. You have no idea how they help ( or maybe you do) clueless people like me. You are a Blessing in disguise!
Just curious about an update. How has your gardening been? Is there anything you did that didn't work well? I'm starting my first garden this year, and like you, I have no idea what I'm doing. Watching tons of videos and getting some great ideas though.
I just love this girl ~ she makes me happy ...
Gary is such a nice man, intelligent & soft spoken, just like my dad.
And Kitty is the cutest dog ever!
Robbie, I love the way you don't get upset when something doesn't work out. "If it doesn't grow, oh well". Thank you for your videos. You bring me happiness.
Thank you so much! Robbie
I’m confused what is in bottom ?middle? Top?
Robbie : THANKS for getting me excited about gardening !!!!
I love your gardening style, seems like a more natural way to do it than most other videos I've watched. I filled a big tote in my backyard with shredded newspaper and some composted grass/leaves I had, and some kitchen scraps, added in a bit of leftover bagged potting mix, and I've got spaghetti squash growing like crazy in there. I've also got little pots of tomato plants in there that are about ready to transplant. Also it's full of good worms. This is so much easier than videos that tell you to measure this much fertilizer, this much of this and that, plant this deep, etc. etc. This is my new style to garden, love it!
SOUNDS WONDERFUL! It just seems like so many are doing SO MUCH WORK, for no reason, and this WORKS THE BEST, like Mother Nature does, thank you so much for sharing this, (sorry it took so long to get back, 1000's of comments and now I have to hunt for them), again, THANK YOU, Robbie
Her style of gardening is genius!!! I love it. I was able to grow so much this year already and it is only May! So simple and easy!!!
I was once in a community garden with a bunch of novices. I planted a row of garlic I had started from market bought garlic of various sized bulbs. The plants were uneven in size and I planted them to just cover the root section. When I left a woman came in and replanted all the plants so that they would stick out of the guound the same hieght! Needless to say, thise she replanted too deep all died. You can be as expressive as your little heart desires to get your garden to look as you want, but planting depth is critical for just about anything but vining plants like tomatos and water spinich, etc.
Is your squash in containers,?
And because of you I now know what to use my soldering iron for. 😘😂
I stumbled on this channel last night. Haven't been able to leave. Great ideas. Never seen it done quite this way. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this channel. I do my garden in my electric wheel chair. The tower with the bins and containers are a great idea. The original towers are soooooooo expensive! I can't say enough! Thank you so much and God Bless you! New subbie👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾😇
OH, 'I love you' and you make ME feel so good! This should work great and EASY for you....you can make the tower the height that works best for you, and than it should be so easy to maintain and harvest from. Stores carry these plastic containers of all sizes, and just get 2 or 3 different sizes and you are gardening! Again, thank you so much! Love, Robbie
Zalia Butler I agree!!!
Yeah, I just cleaned up a bunch of flower pot yesterday. Now I am going to see if my mom wants to try these. She likes pots already. I am going to try it for myself. Excited.

"I AM BUILDING A TOWER" Robbie - you have no idea how much you've changed my whole approach and love for gardening...in a week! I'm a new gardener...it's my first year of trying stuff..learning and making mistakes ...I just ate cucumbers I grew myself from seed and it was life affirming. I didn't know I was looking for this carefree instruction...but now I've found your videos IM FOREVER GOING TO SEE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SOOOOO DIFFERENTLY!!! Your approach to growing is so FUN!! I just went through my recycle bin and pulled out ALL the cardboard and paper I had thrown out this week and thought "this is crazy! Why did I throw this away! It's COMPOST!" then I marched up the our unofficial junkyard behind our shed and found a large black plastic tub, heaps of pots, and all sorts of things that are GOOD TO GO! Then, when I was driving home from work I spied a huge pile of verge side wood chip compost left by the local shire....I know it's been there (decomposing) for over 2 years but I never noticed it til today - .so my husband and I drove down there and filled three huge garden bags full so I could mulch my citrus trees! It was such rich and luscious soil I couldn't believe it!!! I plan go back and get 3 bags a day until that pile is GONE! and I will be HAPPY...because it will be IN MY GARDEN!!!!! THANKYOU SO SO SO MUCH!!
Don't you just love this lady. She is awesome.
What a great, creative idea! My older sister is disabled but wishes she could garden. I'm going to help her build one of your nifty towers on her back deck so she can sit on a chair and grow her salad veggies. Thank you so much for this!
You are a Gardening Goddess - absolutely the most switched on gardener around - 🙏 for teaching us all the gardening tricks ❤️❤️❤️
Before you try to sttaighten the coiled up roots of a root bound plant for transplanting, put it in a larger container of water and soak it about an hour. That loosens the particles of growing mix, and hydrates the plant thereby softening the roots so they don't break. The root hairs also are coated with water and they slide out better. If the root hairs are not wetted they begin to die immediately upon exposure to air. Then the plant has to grow root hairs to apsorb water and it will wilt and may even die. You can also put 1 tbl spoon of soluble fertilizer per 4-5 gal. of water for the soak. That is called starter solution. No, it does not keep the plant roots from growing in it's new location.
I love that you make gardening and composting so simple and accessible!
Not only simple, but really the way Mother Nature does it, thank you, Robbie
You just keep me motivated even at 10:00 pm. I just moved my kitchen scraps into my bin and I’m watering my fruit trees
I’m
Your attire?? Your knowledge and willingness to help your fellow man is Beautiful!! Thank You!!
I love how you thoroughly explain everything! This is a new way of gardening for most, but you are very good at explaining all the reasons you do things. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊❤️
Watched this today, was so inspired I went out and started a tower, lost my balance and fell in the pots. Lol. Thank goodness they were there or I would have fallen off the porch!
Be careful ! Can’t lose a fellow gardener!!!😮
BTW I really love hearing all the birds sounds throughout your videos , that’s a real happy garden!🤗
I was just thinking the same thing while I was watching this! ❤️
Love this "use what ya got" style of gardening - it's fantastic! Thank you for making your video's, you make gardening accessible and easy for everyone.
I don’t know what made you start recording these videos. I just found you last week and I just want to say thank you! I’ve done some container gardening (apartment dwelling forever) but we just rented a house and now I have a yard. I’m so excited to be able to compost and start a little garden! Loving learning from you!
I aLOVE your channel. I am an occupational therapist (OT) and the goal of occupational therapy is to improve the quality of lives of clients; helping them enjoy life activities. To share a valuable way people with disabilities can still enjoy gardening or to discover a more efficient way they can garden meant so much to me as an OT!!!! I fell in love with your page and am learning how to garden. Thank you for this video!!!!
I really appreciate you thinking about folks with mobility challenges that would still like to garden. The truth is that most of us will probably have some form of mobility challenge as we age even if we’re not disabled now. We definitely need more accessible gardening information out there in our community.
Robbie you look fine - in that heat, I wd not even be out there gardening but thx for yr dedication to helping us out w yr wonderful videos despite combat conditions! We appreciate yr hard work & sacrifice!😊
You look like a hard worker. Truly admire you, and thank you for sharing what you know. God Bless
I just like working in the garden, and I want it fun and easy, thank you so much, Robbie
I love this idea Robbie ❤️I would love to make a bunch of these out at the nursing homes out on their patios. I think it would bring them so much joy🥰
Oh go for it, that sounds wonderful ❤️
Great idea!
Between YOU, Epic gardener and a gentlemen from my new home state of Colorado I have soooo much excitement and faith that my first year is going to be amazing. I LOVE you and your style speaks to me.💞💗😘
Wonderful so practical affordable gardening. Love it. Thanks for all you do ☺️
Such a great idea! I have learned so much from you, thank you!
Thank you!!! Robbie
I could watch you all day I’m so happy seeing how easy this is and building up is so awesome please keep making these I feel like your our friend
Robbie , I have watch hundreds of gardening videos and really like a bunch of them but I have to say YOU have really out done all . I love your strategy and mindfulness of all things . Absolutely awesome.
Love your idea, I am going to try it, I compost directly in my garden beds, I have had to go to no dig gardening because of my back, love your videos
Thank you, Robbie
Thanks for all the ideas on gardening….I am now enjoying gardening again.
Excellent gardening idea - thanks Robbie.
And we're all looking forward to your video showing how to make those cute little T-shirt pockets - it'll be fun.
Got some of those videos up now, and have another one coming soon, love those pocket, even to fill with small harvest, thank you!!!! Robbie
We are SO similar in our gardening styles with the composting and the seeds. YES, anyone can garden anywhere, and you're making it easy and inexpensive too. Thank you so much!
Thank you, I rent and don't have a lot of space to plant. I am going to go into the cellar and find some of the totes to plant in. I have been throwing all the leaves and scraps in the garbage, but...not anymore. From now on I am going to do it the same way as you do it Robbie. Thanks so much for sharing your excitement and expertise in gardening.
Love your videos! The enthusiasm is catchy!
Wow! This system would seem to eliminate a lot of nutrient waist.
Thank you so much!
I am feeling more relieved about seeing a good garden plan that is so good & natural. And one that I may can be successful at. The composting/planting of towers, drawing in birds & good bugs & insects & the nurturing with clean food & water, then they would naturally work health to our gardens! You have given me hope not to give up on gardening. I am renewed! 😌
God bless you Robbie for all your advise. I will soon be 80 yrs old. I love gardening & never want to stop growing my own food. I have resorted to container gardening but you have given me some great ideas to include. I will be watching all of your videos, thank you so very much. Stay well, be safe & EAT WHAT YOU GROW ! Louella in Ohio.
How brilliant! I’m definitely doing this, space is a premium in my garden. I’m so glad I found your videos. 👍👍
Wahooo! I bought everything I need for a tower, tote garden!!! My reward for working a "TOUGH" job this week!!!🤪😄💕💕💕 As soon as it cools down some outside going to put it together. I'm so excited!!!
Ms Pat from southern Indiana
Oh Robbie, I'm so excited to start doing this! Thank you!!!😀
Gosh,I love you Bobbi! Your a genius,you've opened my eyes to a new way of gardening.
Oh Robbie I put a small plastic glass in my chocolate mint a few days ago & man at the difference in it already, I bet it's doubled in size!! Thank you so much for all these great ideas you share with us 💞🥰💞
I love your style of communication. It was so refreshing.
Thank you 😊
YOU ARE AMAZING! 💘 YOUR WAY! ALWAYS HAZEL CALIFORNIA 💘
WHAT A SANCTUARY! BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you!
You’re a genius 😁 I have arthritis in my knees and hands and it’s very difficult to get down and plant in my garden. I’m going to do this tower for my tomatoes I have been growing from seed and some basil as a companion!
Robbie thank you for your work and your lovely enthusiastic descriptions! You have inspired me to start gardening in bins this year.
New subscriber here .. have been binge watching all of your videos and love all of them! Thanx for sharing.. love your passion and energy! Such great ideas ! I’m a beginner gardener and your channel has really helped and inspired me .. you have made it not so overwhelming .. I actually think I can do this.. very exciting!! Thanx again😊
Oh, I KNOW you can do it! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment, have a great upcoming garden season, take care, Robbie
I'm a bit late finding this. I have often wanted to restart container gardening, but a lot has happened since we bought our home. So FINALLY I now have started.
I absolutely LOVE your EASY practical way of gardening. I have now, 6 bins composting in place.
Now I need to tower things.
We are from Ventura, CA...now living in Texas.
Love you both, Robbie & Gary.
I just love your attitude and gardening passion.
I love watching your channel. I live in an apartment & I wanted a garden. I started planting in pots. I used a very large pot to throw in my compost. I had only used what was leftover in the garden. Next year I added kitchen scrapes. This year I am have trying the tower. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
I love how simple and possible you make gardening seem, thank you for the great video
I love your enthusiasm. I’m moving to a new location soon and have been collecting pots to start composting in preparation for spring gardening. I’m so excited to get started. Thank you for sharing ❤️😊🥕🍅🥒🥬🥦
You are so inspirational! I just put the holes in a small container to start my compost-in-place and I'm really excited. I just can't believe the stuff around the house that can become compost. God bless you and keep you well!
You are one of the most inspiring person I know. Thank you
You have inspired me. I love watching your videos. You are so down to earth and remind me so much of my Texas family. I am going to try this type of tower gardening. You are the first person I have seen that took into consideration of handicap people and made it easier for them. I cannot garden because of my back but you have shown me the light. Thank you so much. Hugs
I can sit and watch video all day.
I wish I could LOL!!!! I get tired watching myself when I am editing it! 😫 Robbie
I just subscribe your channel because I love that you are so compassionate toward gardening and thinking for people with in different ABLE ! I just start doing gardening this year. It was not easy with losing a limb and the good leg was no good neither. I got my containers from thrift stores too. I am planning to have a worm bing too. My happiness now is to see my vegetables grow. Once again, thank you for all your tips!
I love your ideas . I am disabled and use a walker or wheel chair some days. I do what I can when I can . I love this idea and I love worms . They are amazing creatures. I will definitely have my hubby get to pulling out some of my old , underused bins from the garage and sitting them out for me . I have done tower plantings before on a much smaller scale with terracotta pots but never even thought to do this with those bins in the garden. I have some raised beds that were made for me , but I like this idea too . Thank you .
I love your ideas and you make gardening doable and fun. Thanks
Seriously binge watching your videos. I just found your channel and it’s been SOOOO helpful 🥰 I’m even more encourage and I just started this year. So much help for so many challenges I’m already facing 😅
I've been using so many of your ideas on my balcony! Thanks so much for showing me how to have a lovely garden with the space I have. Blessings... :)
Thank you! I''m very gimpy and did my first patio pot garden during quarentine. Can increase my crop next year using some of these ideas
The tower method you invented looks terrific! I can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks!
Your gardening style is right on point. I absolutely love your videos . Since I stared following your container ideas . I am in south Florida where iguanas will eat everything down to sticks in a few hours . I use your container ideas , and I put my container on a high table with tall skinny legs , so the iguanas have a difficult time getting to my food😁. I already harvest two different types of egg plants. Three variries of. Spinach, kale, collard, bell peppers. All in containers. I really look forward to coming home from work, and tending. To my garden 💕💕
I love the way you are working in your garden.
I love your videos and your enthusiasm!! Thankyou, Robbie!!!
You are the queen of thinking outside the box. That is a fantastic idea. I started collecting all my kitchen scraps and garden leaves and twigs hoping to have my own soil in a while, but filling the bottom of deep containers, top dressing with soil and planting seems genius. I will try that this spring. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.
I just found this from last year.... you were thinking about your "chair" system... before you found a chair. love how your mind continues to work gardening out for everyone.
I had a similar idea ( Of course, I got my idea from watching your previous videos.) ... I got a good deal on 2 large planters ... I set them in the garden and began filling them with compostables (kitchen scraps and woodchips, mainly) ... then I set a smaller pot on top of each of them with spinach growing in it. The other day I scooted the top planter to the side and planted thyme in the bigger pot. I plan on placing a marigold next to the thyme. I didn't think of adding an empty pot for more compost! Now I need 2 really big pots to put on the bottom ... I love your ideas ... they stretch my thinking ... lol. We are just now getting warm enough here to put more plants out.
Yeap, that is what I do too, pots in pots, layer, move whatever I need to do, and I LOVE IT, thanks for sharing, Robbie
Bless you, wow I am inspired by your simplicity
Perfect exactly what I need to watch and learn today , hearing much about garden tower / composting 👍😀thank u so much for sharing . Love ❤️ your channel
Really love your videos Robbie . to me watching your videos is like therapy .they are wildly entertaining
Thank you! I love this video and gardening tips for towers! I compost and put in a very large pot that a tree was in. However, all that good compost tea is just going out onto the ground! I have some mobility issues and thanks to your tips, I feel confident that I can do this and use less space in the small yard that we have! Bless you!
You are so sweet and knowledgeable and I am addicted to your videos! I am getting ready to try some of the things you are sharing with us. Right now we are going thru some ice, sleet, and snow, but spring is coming soon. I have some cherry tomato seedlings and some bell peppers and zinnias getting started. I am so excited and anxious. Thank you
I luv you guys and so thankful to have found you.
Thanks Robbie
I have several large toots. I’m going to start composting in each toot. I will place them under my fruit trees so the trees will be fertilized automatically. Next year I will plant vegetables in them. I love your ideas. Thanks for all you do for us. God Bless you ❤️
Ur garden is peaceful and relaxing listening to the waterfall and birds lovely
Thanks Robbie. Getting tubs together.
I just started watching your videos and am learning so much! Thank You 🙏 I live i. Tucson Arizona and everything this spring is dying except my eggplant, but you have encouraged me to pot In tubs.
Brilliant. Have to keep this in mind to plant for next year, but I can start building compost now.
Robbie,you are a Genius!!! This tote/chair gardening idea is Awesome!,,,, You understand composting which I don’t do. I don’t quite understand how your eco system works and the drainage so I wish you would make a video from scratch so I can follow it. I am addicted to watching your videos and LOVE your enthusiasm!! Keep up the great work. I’m in Southern Missouri so we have HOT Summers but milder Winters. Thank you for showing us how to be more self sufficient. I’m all all that! God bless, now I’m back to watching you. 🍅🍉🍓🌽🥚🥬🥒🌶🥕🥦🥑🍊🍋🍐🍇
She’s got hundreds if not thousands of videos - keep watching - she’s got videos already on that subject covered
I just found your videos this week and I am so looking forward to getting into growing my own vegetables and fruits. I followed another RUclipsr about 3 years ago, spend tons of $$$ following her tips, suggestions, etc., and had almost no success at all. I look forward to trying your method and I already feel confident that I will have much more success this year.
You had me with "can't bend over". You have inspired me to no end. I just turned 79 and love to grow things. You have just made it possible for me. I have started a bin of compost in the back yard. I live in zone 5 in Utah so we don't have the warm climate you do, but I think I can make it work. Thank you.
Hi- I'm in utah also. salt lake city area. Love these ideas!
You’re a genius Robbie!! Great simple and effective ideas. Love it
Thanks so much, I just like things easy and cheap too, Robbie
You are so inspiring! Can’t wait to try this this season!
I recently moved house and was so excited to own a double block to have a food forest. I was so upset when I realised I have compacted soil and could only grow fruit and nut trees. I now am so excited as my tote and chair garden are bountiful.. I have a zucchini that is trailing everywhere, 2 passionfruit trailing along a fence from a big pot, just planted potatoes in a cardboard box also learned from your channel. I now have over 100 plants in pots and totes. Everyday is now filled with excitement as I tend to my garden .. THANK YOU ROBBIE with all my heart. 🌻🌷🐞🌿🐈⬛
Genius!!!!!!im moving from a 3rd floor 6x6 balcony to a terrace 4 x the size and I am so trying this🖤🖤
Dear Robbie, I love your style of gardening. I am green thumb challenged, but I am excited about trying this. I have my totes and this weekend I will be setting up my own “Rainbow Garden.” Thank you for the inspiration and I don’t care abt your attire. You are a beautiful soul!! Thank you for all your wisdom and personality. Your enthusiasm adds joy and happiness to my day. God Bless 🥬🥦🥒🍆🍅🧅🧄🥕🥬🌽🍆🌶
It's obvious that you really love what you are doing, and you make it look easy and you don't fret and fuss about it; it one thing doesn't work, try another. I wish I had a friend like you here. You are entertaining, easy going and fun. God bless you.
My husband and I have never gardened before and we have been watching garden videos like crazy. We found your channel and we finally feel like yes we can do this. Trial and error but growing our own food......... Priceless. New Subbie
Watched this Again, and I love it even more the second time!
Thanks!
So glad your channel appeared in my feed. I'm preparing for winter gardening. I can't wait for gardening season to begin. I'm here in January 2020. Who else?
Love this lady!!!!❤️
I am going to try this now. Thank you very much. Very easy and practical.
Brilliant! I’d planned to make a raised bed this year & spent a long while last evening searching for a reasonably priced, durable, attractive one. SO glad I did not order! Simply genius! I enjoy gardening but had gotten away from it b/c we owned a cabin until recently, & weekends & vacations were spent there. Now that I can be home regularly, I’m excited to turn our neglected small backyard into a lovely oasis. You rock! New subscriber here!
Great ideas - so much inspiration - and it totally fits into my ideas of how to open into creativity in all areas.. Just go for it, it does not have to be perfect in every detail. You have to do it, be curious and have fun - and you learn a lot in the doing- thank you for your passionate attitude for growing something anywhere
Hi Robbie & Gary thank you for always sharing your tips and tricks of gardening. This is my go to channel for inspiration and enthusiasm. Good bless you and yours. 🙂🌱🥒💛👵
Me encanta tu manera de ser , me das mucha energía solo escucharte!! Me encanta tus videos!!😊👍
