Whether you're planning to grow a small kitchen herb garden, or to produce enough food to feed your family, containers can add the flexibility which helps make your garden a success this year.
Growing in containers is very popular, and the variety of containers available is constantly improving, but it's important to understand the different approaches required to produce a successful container garden.
In this video, we demonstrate techniques to ensure that the plants you grow in containers stay healthy, and explain the most important factors to consider when planning where and when to use containers successfully in your garden.
If you've noticed any pests or beneficial insects in your garden recently please report them via bigbughunt.com
If you love growing your own food, why not take a look at our online Garden Planner which is available from several major websites and seed suppliers:

I know this video is old AF , but I just tried out the planner he mentions and OMG guys. I love it.
Yey! Glad you love the Garden Planner!
You have a very nice garden. I can tell you put a lot of work and love into it. I appreciate you sharing any tips & tricks.
I’m a gardener too. I also make gardening videos. I’m trying to anyway I get a lot of dirt on my camera somehow. This is my 3rd year but I still have so much to learn. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow!
Absolutely - thanks for watching and very best of luck with your videos also. :-)
The planning is so relevant and helpful for any farmer
Watering and fertilizing are certainly key to container gardening.
I think that the garden planner is a brilliant idea for new gardeners like me - good job!
Cheers for that. Hope you find it useful (we're sure you will!).
Have had trouble growing veg in ground. Going to try big pots this year. Thank you for your advice. 😊
In my experience of growing M & M's I have achieved great success of growing the blue variety by sprinkling a teaspoon of copper sulfate in each of the beds.
funny to see a youtuber who doesnt FUCK ABOUT and actually gets to the point, love ya video glad you were recommended to me man
Thanks Byron!
great

Great video! You are so fun to watch! I just started a garden and I'm so excited! I've actually created a cost analysis spreadsheet to track my garden expenses, retail cost of produce, and how much I harvest to see exactly how much I save my family in cost of produce! I'm trying to share with as many people as possible because gardening is so much fun and can save money too! I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can and share what I learn with others too! Thanks for sharing!!
+Spend Smart Live Happy I bet you'll save a lot by growing your own. It's great fun to track progress like that. Good luck with it all.
Thank you for your very useful videos, I am new 6o gardening and learning from RUclips channels so Thank you. I Just started a RUclips channel hoping other gardeners can advise as I go
Excellent source of information
i have been using the soaker hose method that you showed in the video it has really helped my garden accelerate
Thanks, nice video. I like the fabric grow bags the best, after years of trying various other types of other containers. The air root pruning really makes a big difference in the health of the plants, and I don't have to continually upsize the containers as the plants grow. Only downside is that you really need to stay on top of watering in hot summers. A drip system makes that part easy.
This video was great, very helpful information on here.
Great video. Thank you so much for the information. I am planning on making my second serious attempt at growing my own vegetables in containers, and the information you provided would help me to care properly for my plants.
Gerald Chong Good luck with your vegetable growing this year!
very brief, to the point and excellent information for a new Gardener. thanks a lot
This has been very helpful thank you.
What a perfect comprehensive overview. Ty! MCC;)
Great video on Gardening. Lovely.
Lots of great information!!! Thank you very much!!
Very informative thank you!
I would like to hear more about self-watering containers, which I have used successfully for several years now. They are great for tomatoes, small cabbages, salad greens, baby eggplant, small peppers, herbs.
libbycone Thanks for the suggestion!
I learned a lot,, I can do it that too on our small garden..
We.ve found that M&Ms are similar to hydrangea and respond to soil pH. Recall that if your soil is acidic you'll have blue flowers and if your soil is basic you have pink flowers. If you acidify the soil a little bit using tea or vinegar you can increase the proportion of blue M&Ms. By adding lime or wood ash you increase the number of red & orange pips in the pods.
We really enjoy your videos. Please share info on the horizontal planters on the wall behind you during your introduction. Thank you.
I'm so excited to start this. Thank you!
Great video only thing missing is how to make sure what you grow is organic pesticide free.
Yes, very good point.
Can you reuse this year’s container soil for next year’s planting? Or would I need to discard the soil and buy new compost? 🙏🏼
If the compost isn't diseased or pest-ridden, you can reuse it. I would still remove it from the pot, then remove any old plant residue, before remixing with some organic fertiliser and perhaps a little more from potting soil. Refill the pots and then, for good measure, top off with a little more fresh potting soil to help start plants off.
GrowVeg. Thank you for replying. Should I do this process now in September or should I wait until March/April?
If wait til next year, shall I grow Phacelia in the pots over winter period?
This is very cute.. wish it had been around when my children were little.. hahah.. maybe if I ever get grandchildren we will "grow" some m&m"s
It would be good to see a video about self-irrigating planters (SIPs)
Well presented video. Thanks
😊😊😊😊😊
This video is wonderful thank you for information
It's was interesting to see how you grow M&Ms. I wonder if you have tried slightly bruising the pods to get blue ones? It may be worth a try.
My personal favorite from my garden is Liquorish Twists. They have always been my favorite candy but only once in my life (and I was born in 1933) have I been so fortunate as to manage to buy some that were fresh and soft.
Since I discovered how to grow them in my own garden I have had a never-ending supply of fresh, soft Liquorish Twists.
Perhaps you could demonstrate their cultivation for others to enjoy.
Great video and advice. We have just planted our very first seeds and their already sprouting! We are very excited and we have much, much to learn. Thank you for posting this video. Hope to see more of your videos.
PS..You have a great looking garden. We wish you a the best of luck with your garden.
We are now SUBSCRIBED to your channel :)
Thanks - we're glad you liked the video. Plenty more videos coming...
+GrowVeg Hi, I'm an "enthusiastic newbie" and would really appreciate some info about best size and shape pots for growing veggies, herbs and beneficial flowers for insects. Also, the PH of the soil for various plants (obviously starting with the quick'n'easy ones and going on to small fruit trees. Not much to ask......:-) I know, I'm too late for Santa!
Thank you for this video. Do you have tips for vertical gardening for community?
Try watching our video on vertical growing, which has plenty of handy tips that could also be applied to a community garden: ruclips.net/video/4HLho4vcJac/видео.html
Very Informative video. Thanks a lot, I am a new gardener....this video helped me to learn few basics.
Thank for the video
Thanks so much for all the helpful information! New subscriber here.
Hi , with the salad i am a bit confused. In many videos i watched they all say needs at least 6 hours sun per day but they also say that if exposed to sunlight it sprouts up so what is the ideal place salad should be?
where can I get information on how deep containers must be to make sure the vegetables has the best chance of producing the best yield
There's no gold rule about this. Generally most vegetables need a minimum depth of around 6 inches / 15cm. For root crops such as carrots this will be more like 12 inches / 30cm. While potatoes will need around 24 inches / 60cm as a minimum.
We do this every year, our biggest challenge is finding someone to water them when on vacation.
Thankyou
Very helpful
this is a nice info video for ppl starting out and the app will help out to but .... when will the apps get updated as the last time they got updated was in 2016 and i wonder if the apps will have a issue with IOS11 when it comes out

Thank U !!
thx good morining i have one quasetion how i can get the program that u use it to know the type and how many veg we can put in side the contaner
Blue is a hybrid. Although it is one of the primary colors, and green should be a combination of red and yellow, in horticulture there is excess chlorophyll. The best way to obtain blue is to reverse the process and return to the primary colors by extracting chlorophyll.
This can be confirmed by the Luther Burbank Gardens, Santa Rosa, California:
Is it possible to grow beets in bags, layering them, the same way one can do with potatoes?
Beets aren't layered, or earthed up, like potatoes are. You simply sow the seeds and then leave them to grow (while watering and feeding of course). Beets can be grown in containers kept in a sunny position. Just fill up the container with good potting soil then sow thinly and cover the seeds over with about a quarter to half inch of potting soil. Water and when the seedlings come up, thin them out so they are about 5-6in apart in each direction, or 3in apart for smaller beets ideal for salads.
Thanks!
What are the overturned pots in the ground for? Anyone know ?
does this grow guide help with container gardens and where can I get it
The Garden Planner is also suitable for container gardens and has several different options for placing tubs, pots etc. onto your plan. You can find out more about it at www.growveg.com
Can you do something to the soil from your garden to kill the weeds, so you can use the soil. It's just that I have so much soil here that buying soil seems ridiculous.
I mean kill the seeds from the weeds was what I meant to say.
You could try making your potting mix by combining topsoil with garden-made compost or leaf mould. I have heard that you can sterilise soil by microwaving it in batches to kill off any organisms. However, that seems rather extreme and you'd also kill off all the valuable microorganisms in the soil. An alternative would be to part-fill containers with soil then fill the top half with bought-in potting soil, which will be sterile. This would be preferable to using only soil, which in a container would be very heavy and run out of nutrients quickly.
I am in the tropics and have gone the container route because of pest. Have been using RUclips and asking persons who are gardening for advice. I have mixed my soil with bag mixes, sometimes sand, also vermiculite and perlite I added cinnamon to the mix which kills off certain bacteria. It is a learning process and I use my plants as my gauge.
how long it takes a company got my seed potatoes frm said to fill pot 1 which after I come here r up but the other nothing it large pot are they dead this first time need your help er they potatoes
Potatoes need plenty of moisture to grow steadily. Ideally the seed potatoes will have been showing sprouts (chits) when you planted them, this way they are primed to grow away strongly. Take a look at our video on growing potatoes in pots for more tips: ruclips.net/video/wrcPaPtTzHc/видео.html
Thank u so much for your help in will I Olympic 1st time glad I got you my friend I go look at the video
ɷɷɷ Heeyy Frienddss I Have Founddddd Workingggg Online Hacck visitt : - t.co/yeW1pMVWDZ
That doesn't make sense. Some punctuation would help!
where do I get your garden planner?
+Jerry Frye Just head to: www.growveg.com for all the details.
Not good to add gravel - it makes large spaces in the containers where the water gets water-logged in the soil and actually prevents drainage.
We changed the advice on adding gravel following further research and experience. We now advise not to add gravel - see our video on gardening myths: ruclips.net/video/A_c4VdS3K3c/видео.html and fast forward to 2 mins 15 secs in.
In Growveg video " 7 Gardening Myths Debunked: Common Gardening Advice That Isn't Right!" #3 tells us NOT to add pottery shards etc to the bottom of a pot to aid drainage. Yet this video you tell us too - What's with the contradiction?
We've changed our minds in light of our own growing experience. Several of us on the team (including in this video) always used to add pottery shards but the evidence is thin on this being important unless the soil is particularly heavy (in which case it's probably not the best for containers anyway!) We always aim to give honest real-world gardening advice, so thanks for pointing out our change of tack on this point.

Would love to subscribe although I'm not sure how much u would be able to help given that I live in Bali, Indonesia which is 8 degrees South of the Equator and warm all year round.
We have subscribers all over the world. The software does adapt to your location, so you should be fine even in Bali. More information is at www.growveg.com
i have noticed that a lot of tomatoe plants ,,yours and others seem to be striped of most of their leaves !!
The vining/indeterminate types of tomato tend to naturally have fewer leaves on any given length of stem.
GrowVeg,,Thank you for responding,,,,I never knew there was a vining tomatoe!!! A new one on me,,I might like that better
