  1. I just ordered your new book; I have been gardening for many years and I was a master gardener. But I love your style and I am sure I will get many ideas. Thank you. 🙂

  2. Just lost my garden bed space since we moved to a community that doesn't allow them. I can sneak a pallet wall of herbs along the side though, and the strawberry tower is a great idea. Thanks a bunch!

  3. Last year I learned about growing plants, veggies, or whatever in food safe storage tubs. They range in size from 18 gallons to 50 gallons and can be elevated on blocks or bricks. I call them my mini raised beds. Tending them is much easier on my back. They're available in most stores like Walmart and also Amazon. I can also have small plant pots in them for layering.

  4. Thanks for sharing your video! Your garden is beautiful. I’m a gardener too and I’m researching all the things I can grow in containers. I’m happy it led me to find you. I’m so happy it did your channel has so much to offer! This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels!

  5. great ideas, love the basket herbs and strawberry pots!! and in place of chemical fertilizers we could use natural things such as ground eggshells, ground peanut shells, tiny bits of orange peel, coffee grounds etc. What else would you suggest??

  6. Love the ideas! I’m starting for the first time this year and can’t wait.

    I will say to be careful with pallets as some are used for chemicals and that could pose a risk for your tasties. The strawberry tower might benefit from a piece of pvc pipe down the middle and you could potentially water it that way. Either way I’ll be trying some of these, thank you!!!

  7. This year I got a pea variety that is bred in Asia specifically for pea shoots — first time I've done that! I am going to plant them in a dish with bamboo trellis in the front yard, with flowers around the dish, in the ground. This also isolates from pollination from my snap peas in the raised beds out back, and makes seed saving a better bet. Around the time the peas are getting tired from the heat, I'm planning on putting some opal basil around a spicy globe basil, with trailing nasturtium on the edge of the dish. The peas will fix nitrogen for their summer successors, too.

    In the ground around this house, the soil is of terrible quality (boggy clay), and probably full of persistent pesticides, so anything edible I am growing in raised beds or containers. That's another great reason to use containers for anything edible, if you care about organic! Most of my garden that is going into edibles is former suburban lawn in the Southern US here, and this is a region that was culturally just in love with pesticides, herbicides and who knows what, plus lead paint and…

    Another good application for artsy containers is for shade annuals and perennials (ornamental or edible) under trees with surface roots. You shouldn't dig and disturb the tree roots, but as far as the tree is concerned, the containers are cooling mulch. Even were I fond of turf, it couldn't be maintained there. With a variety of shapes and sizes, you can fit in among the roots and have something of a shabby chic effect.
