      I'm glad you like it! Sometimes I worry about it being rambly because it is, in fact, me just rambling at the camera and sometimes losing my train of thought after stopping to chase the toddler lol

    Well there you go again. Every time I watch your videos it makes more work for me. (The boss said I had to say that.) The boss is a very good helper also.😉
    Thank you for the ideas.
    Everyone have a wonderful day.

    My best tomato yield to plant ratio has been in containers. When tomatoes are spread out more air gets under the leaves so they don’t get tomato blight

    I did this to my raised beds I made. Lots of yard waste and wood from a tree I cut down then filled with soil from my yard then topped with garden soil. My vegies love it. Oh you might want to add irrigation hoses to make it easier to water

    I put hydroton on the bottom to cover the drainage holes. This allows for better oxygen exchange.

    Nice work including the material numbers. Much of my deck garden is grown in food grade 5 gallon buckets from a local production kitchen that is happy to have buckets hauled away. One hole drilled in the side just above the bottom slightly smaller than a clear plastic 3/8” hose directs water over the side of the deck and 6” of small course rock helps anchor the hose in place and retain the soil.

    I have tomatoes and peppers growing in buckets. I planted extra seedlings in the ground right next to the bucket of the same type of plant. The ones in the buckets are outgrowing the ones in the ground.

    You can probably check local factories too for broken pallets. Besides 4 2×4's and some wood lattice, my entire garden was made using recycled pallet wood I got from my job. Might have to spend around $200 dollars for tools, though.

    Some of the plastic clam packs from the bakery at the grocery store are a 6. Fast way to tell when sorting a truck load of recycle plastic, the 6 is crinkly and goes in the trash.

    #3 PVC is commonly used in plumbing? I think the thing with this is you just won't find totes made out of it.

    Awesome sauce for using southern exposure instead of the giant seed company that pretends to be 'small' *cough baker creek cough*.
    Don't forget to give victory seed some love too😊

    • @libertyhomestead
      @libertyhomestead  Год назад +1

      I hadn't heard of victory seed! I actually do really like Baker Creek as well (especially for the free seeds), but I sit and cross reference between them and Southern Exposure for price, organic, heirloom, and varieties that seem best for my area. I like how SESE has all the little icons to tell you those details, and through that have learned that not everything BC sells as heirloom really is.

    My plants will grow quite well but the fruits, or veggies I guess, don't really develop or maybe start to and don't ripen. I recall getting lots of nice tomatoes, yellow beans, bell peppers, and cucumbers the first few years but now stuff just doesn't work out. I have 2 different spots with somewhat differing soil. I don't know what the issue is. Maybe need fertilizer and all that. I like the idea of my garden but I'm also lazy.
