I know this video is 2 yrs old, but I'm so glad I found it today. I can't afford containers for gardening, but I can get boxes from work and bags at the hardware store. thank you for sharing this.
I totally agree. I just found it yesterday and was so excited. I am trying to do an organic garden and it is just so expensive even starting with seeds. This will really help.
I paint mine as well to make them colorful
Thank you so much. I have been staring at my plants for days now and wondering which UA-cam method to make a self watering container. Your video provided the answer. No carpentry tools needed.
BRILLIANT! I live on solid rock. I usually beg the local ranchers for their plastic feed buckets and also use my chicken feed bags but this is an additional alternative and you are not limited to the size you can make (depending on the size of your cardboard box). I will be using this!
This is a fantastic idea from you and I am living in Jamaica 🇯🇲 which is sunny and hot all year round and I will be going this route as of now...thank you and God bless ❤
Lovely project! And a great use for boxes. Any eclectic container that can hold earth is a must in my yard. Please keep the videos coming 🤩🤩
Very good idea!Years ago,I made single season grow bags with old coffee bags,cut in half,and sewn at the bottom like the bottom of large soda bottles. I placed them on pallets,and put them in my mini greenhouse.If the bags would have held together,I could have used them next year.Oh well,we got vegies for cheap,and I got to scratch my gardening itch.I am going to try this!
Thank you for this idea. I may use this idea to garden on my balcony. I can place the drainage hole so that it drips off of the sides of the balcony. I may add a compostable bag as a barrier between the trash bag & the soil.
My wife found another benefit to seed starting at home. She sells the extra plant starts. She sold enough to pay for the seeds plus some last year.
How'd she do that?
I oversowed a lot this year lol
@@awsomeman253 you can always just give them away to encourage people to garden and give them some tips. When covid hit I seeded 100 extra starters and gave them to neighbors. Several people offered to pay me but I took trade instead, one neighbor offered to help me take out the brick in my yard so I’d have more growing space and a couple others did some heavy lifting, moving things that I was going to pay someone to do. This year I’m going to sell the flower starters and give away 2 vegetable starters per family, anything over, they can buy. Not sure what to charge.
@@kangakong , check your local nursery, if half size plant lower the price.
I give my extra seedlings to friends and family. Then get to hear how well their garden grows from plants I started.
Way to go! Nurseries are far too overpriced, been doing the same for years!
Just an FYI, chayote squash is a vine, so you will either want to trellis or use something for it to climb on just saying. I have been watching so many gardening videos and yours is one of the best 🌱🙋 I have planted it next to non-bearing trees, it climbs the trunk and out on the bottom limbs, and voila, you now have a food bearing tree...
Great ideas I have a box that I'm goin to start this with thanks for passing along your gardening tips.
thanks friend for all the information you are my inspiration to make my garden
Thank you for sharing your efficient ideas.
God Bless you.
Excellent video !
Very pleasant.
With a lid, these would make quite a good worm bin too, me thinks
Thank you for all the helpful information ❤❤❤❤❤
You, Sir have the most awesome ideas that are so reasonable in cost! 👍❤️
Great idea ! I will definitely try this out, I was sold on the Idea when you had the burlap around it, Where I live our summers are very hot.
Nice share, wonderful 👍👍👍👍 I like it ❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌🙏🙏👍👍
hi thanks very informative. I am a city person trying to learn I have grown some stuff and very proud of myself. 2years ago something stole my corn so I was trying to fine a way to protect it. I was wondering do you keep your vegetables in the green house the entire time or you take them out in to the garden. I figure if I have a close in green house the squirrels, deer will not eat my corn this year.
Love your videos and others I have been wacthing, I just purchased cattle panels so I can make a greenhouse. Been looking at others videos and my wife doesn't understand how the greenhouse doesn't freeze the plants where our fiberglass greenhouse does. But any way it is going to be 10+20@7 feet tall therd abouts. But wanting to make everything self watering and weed free to free up the time to do other things. Where do you buy the sand bags Larry Hall uses Walmart bags but they are 1.99. Well any way it's late hope to chat later on, be blessed and have a good night.
Check hardware & even livestock supply stores for the sand bags. Here in NW Florida, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware all carry the sand bags. Tractor Supply & a couple of local feedstores also carry them.
If you have a Rural King in your area, to compete with Tractor Supply, they are always cheaper by a couple of dollars or more on everything. Very surprising.
I think he got a large pack of sand bags from Amazon, another video, if I remember.
Great design
Brilliant!!
walmart reusable bags work as well as sand bags
Genius.
WOW! So awesome. 😁
Good tips and techniques on creating a raised bed for little $. I have a question. Are those sandbags you use as wicking containers permeable enough to absorb water, or do you poke holes in them? New sub here. 🧤
Yes, I have the same question ? Do you punch holes in the sand bags so the water can penetrate from the water sitting in the the larger container box lined with the contractor trash bag? If the sand bag is permeable where do you suggest buying them?
If I find impermeable sand bags do you think punching holes in the bag would work and how many holes would you suggest to make the most effective permeable solution?
Yes, they will absorb and wick up the water. No need to poke any holes in them. Cheers!
Thanks
I wouldn’t recommend using hot glue for the burlap cover. I may melt a hole in your contractor trash bags. Maybe you could use Gorilla or E6000 glue.
I was coming here to say the same thing. Don’t use heat on plastic.
super !!!!!!!!!!
Smart.
Now I can put my Amazon boxes to better use!
I have this greenhouse outside, can I grow like this all season in central Tx heat?
Love your content! 💖
What about the possibility of chemicals from the bag contaminating the crop?
Not a problem, he replied in another comment that he contacted the manufacturer, and the bags were #4 meaning food safe
Can I use a brand new bath tub as a vegetable container? Contractor left it, and I’d love to be able to use it. I did pay for it after all. Thank you! 😀
Is the petroleum based garbage bag ok for growing food , food safe ?
Do u have to add a whole to release water?
Can you use a plastic storage container? We have an excess of these and want to know how to use them.
If you check out Robbie and Gary Gardening Easy she has lots of videos on how to set up storage containers (totes) on the cheap.
Are the bags chemicals likely to leach into food ?
Hey Dan, new subscriber and first time gardener. Could you please help me with this. I purchased a tumbler composter, I want to use it as a worm bed for its castings. The question is? I taped up all the vent holes in it to prevent the worms from escaping. I'm not sure if this is a good Idea or not. I see that some worm beds need drainage and others don't. I'm so lost. Thanks.
Ok I love you 💚💚💚 lol
Aren’t you worried about the chemicals from the plastic leeching into the soil and your crops??
Where do you get your sand bags? I looked on Amazon,but didn't find the particular type you used.
Most of them are waterproof,which defeats the purpose.
Also,the bulk burlap?? Thanks.
In September of 2021, I moved and broke down all the boxes from the move and stuck all the boxes, inside the biggest box.
I was planning on buying some lumber, nails ect, until I seen your video on uses.
Dan, you are a genius and I want to thank you for all your money saving information, on growing crops. I could have spent hundreds of dollars on just raised beds.
Thanks again Dan, may God bless you and keep you is my prayer for you! 👍
Great idea. Just remembered my neighbor has about 20 milk creates in his garage he wants to get rid of, from the prevous owners. I might put a 7 gallon grow bag inside.
The milk crates would be good if you wanted to move the plants around.
You could even plant one crate and place on top of another for raised planters!
I reuse 50- and 25-pound feed sacks as grow bags. The woven plastic fabric type need some drainage added, but last at least two seasons for me. I find them especially well suited to growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, rolling the tops down and filling partially with soil, unrolling as more soil is added. HUGE yields for such a small space, and very easy to harvest.
Can regular folk get feed bags somewhere? Love that suggestion!
@@KCJohn316 Ask anyone who buys bags of feed for any animal. Even large dog food bags could work, if you wipe off the greasy inside. It doesn’t take long to have more bags than you need. I always felt bad if I didn’t at least reuse mine as trash bags.
I use my 45 lb size dog food bags for the excess junk mail...think I’ll now save them for planting. Thanks for a wonderful idea!
@@KCJohn316 AMAZON has burlap feed bags
Great idea!!!
The unusual varieties is what ultimately got me into gardening. Started with Fall Gold raspberries and now I've gotten like a dozen raspberry/blackberry varieties alone not counting the dozens of other species we have.
I so want to try berries. I can't imagine how satisfying it must be to harvest those.
@@whaiknot I'd recommend using inaturalist to source rare fruits from nearby. It'll be much more affordable and depending on where you are it should be possible to get really nice berries.
This is genius. And I was just going to take all my boxes to the recycle. Definitely gonna try.
Before I found this channel I was moping around about the cost of pots and containers … now I’m just excited!
Just wondering if you worry about the chemicals of the trash bag leaching into the soil etc.?👀 I like your helpful information and hints. Thank you for your time
I was thinking the same thing.
I was thinking the same thing.
My personal thinking is this: the chemicals typically are used to kill bacteria and after a while it will disappear. And your plants root system typically shoot downwards towards water source if your using the method in the video of watering from the bottom. Hope this helps.
Idk what trash bags you use but mine don’t contain chemicals. It’s a bag for trash. That’s it.
@@tylerhorton9807 Everything contains chemicals 😂
Great ideas! I was just about to go buy a bunch of five gallon grow bags (and where I live, they are Not cheap). But this system offers so much more in the way of water control. Thanks for the info, the testing, and the video!
You can always use those re-usable grocery bags from Walmart or any grocery store. They are made from recyclable water bottles. Many people use them for growing plants and they are like a dollar a piece.
@@eastcoastwilly1373 I save my bottles all my seeds go in the I get a 60p drink then reuse the bottle for seeds saves on trays lids and propagaters
@@eastcoastwilly1373 Little concerned about plastic leeching and uv breakdown of the plastic. Ill have to check out what kind of plastic trashbags are made from.
@East Coast Willy brilliant! I saw a video using Ikea bags, but I've got the grocery ones already. Definitely going to try, thankies!
Wow I'm surprised the title didn't try to imply that gardening stores are trying to trick me or don't want me to know something. I can't speak for others but I am more likely to watch videos with honest titles. Thank you for the great content and please keep the honest titles coming
I hate the ones that say I have been doing something wrong all my life.
I agree with you. At my age, I’m avoiding EVERYTHING that lies to me.
Dan! Your tips are saving my actual life right now! I In these times I've been trying to figure out how to grow more of what my family needs and the space that I have and with the amount of money that I have to spend and you are definitely hitting everything that I need to know.. And for that I am forever grateful.
I just realized your voice reminds me of the Motel 8 commercial guy. “And remember, we’ll leave the light on for you.”
Such savings and I love the burlap look….reminds me of the 100lbs sacks of potatoes dad use to deliver to his customers.
I just can't get enough of your videos. They're very addictive. Thanks for all you do to inspire us.
I love chayote. One vine will het massive in hawaii. With no care pretty much never dies and when it does it just comes back like a weed from the ones that dropped on the ground. Another cool gourd is kabocha which is like a giant butter nut squash. And you can make instruments out of them.
"Fold this in a way as if you are wrapping a Gift." So, uh...take it to the Mall Gift Wrapping center?
Definitely don't take it to me. My gift wrapping skills could use some work.
I took some shingles to the dump and apparently some landscapers had just left. They had dumped about 24 large pots. I just threw them in my truck and smiled all the way home!
Wow! lucky you!🥳
Thank you, thank you, thank you ! you make me feel like I can do anything! And inexpensively. On fixed income. So miss a garden.
I have just moved to an acreage with my son and although I have been gardening for years I am needing to stay up off the ground as much as I can, or I have to make a plan to get up, somehow. My new landlord has cattle and told me that i can use whatever i find, course I'll always ask first. I now have 10 old mineral tubs, loads of straw and my son brought home 2 wonderful large wood boxes to use for beds also. I've been gathering branches and sticks and cardboard for filler. I am so excited to continue to gardening and not have to get down on the ground, at least not much. Thanks for all of your advice.
Make sure you grab the nightcrawlers that you find too . They work great in the soil in your plants . I did it with my bucket gardening last year . Twigs , leaves and worms . It let me not need to use as much soil too . Happy gardening 🧑🌾
Thank you for the low an cheap ways to do things at 65 an live on less than 500 a month you have given me amazing information.. Blessings
Great idea. A couple of years ago I needed more room for Swiss chard seedlings and Ancho peppers. I used those heavy boxes some fruit and veg are in at Aldi. Placed in the garden area they worked as make shift raised beds. They become compostable after a couple years.
Fantastic money saving tip! I have grabbed cardboard boxes a number of times when I need a temporary planter but I've never considered trying to make the box last longer by wrapping it!
This is ingenious! Thank you for sharing. I’m looking for large containers and was going to go with storage totes but I love that this is more cost effective and I already have these items on hand :)
Now this is a brilliant idea. Pots are expensive and I am always looking for ways to plant whatever I have stolen from other people. Thank you for furthering my criminal career lol
Thank you so much! I am a new gardener and this is has been so helpful! People like you is what make the world a better place, by sharing your knowledge and encouraging people!
Great idea. I did this back in the late 60's but didn't think about making a drain hole. Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks for economic gardening and home grown abundance. Dan H
Brilliant. Now you should put an inverted pot inside to save potting mix and maintain a moist air pocket. Then daisy chain a bunch of boxes together via 1/4" drip irrigation to a 55 gallon barrel and set up a yogurt container float valve a la Dr. Kratky style.
I was thinking of something along the same concept, except maybe using a control bucket with float stop for setting the water level at about 3 inches and then chaining all the boxes together on a level surface. I would use the boxes as sub irrigated planters, with 4 inch perforated drain hose in the bottom to leave a 1 inch air gap in the drain hose. An overflow hole at about 3.5 inches in each box to prevent flooding from heavy rains. A simple rain barrel could supply the control bucket with water, no need to check water level on each individual box if chained together. No standing water in the boxes for mosquitoes to breed if used as sub irrigated planters. Like the idea of Kratky float to chain together boxes not on level ground, or if some boxes require other levels of water.
I was thinking more of putting a couple of used plastic Folger coffee cans in the bottom with holes in them to hold water for longer duration between watering.
I wish I knew what you meant, but I do better with pics
@@molliescreations4497 I’m with you…. I love the brilliance of this but do need pictures of what was mentioned above.
Example please. 😍
WOW!! I can't thank you enough for this video! I finally made it to the country after years of dreaming of growing my own food, but I've been struggling with exactly how to do it. I was thinking of doing raised beds, but kept leaning towards containers while I figure out the best place for certain plants and become more experienced with gardening. I didn't know how I was going to afford decent-sized containers, and also didn't want my yard to look junky. Thanks to you, I now have a solution!! This is the first of your videos I've watched, but I am now subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more! Thank you again!!
I am so happy I found your videos. They are very informative and useful. I absolutely love that you provide tips that are affordable. Thank you!
Thank you, for this video! Will those contractor bags leak chemicals into the soil and plants? That's the only part of the process that is concerning to me.
Grow your own is a revolutionary hobby, truly empowering
This is such a brilliant idea. Finally UA-cam has suggested something useful for me that I want to watch, and I subscribed. Thank you!
I like the way you repurpose the cardboard box! Thank you!
Sweet Lord you are AWESOME!!! Can’t thank you enough for this posting as we are on a super tight budget here . Will help feed my family , love the tips ! New subscriber - sharing this info ! Thanks again - your a blessing !
Wow that might help My budget for gardening this year I don't have burlap, but I have some tulle bolts on the way maybe I could wrap that around a box for uv protection. thank you so much what a good budget idea!😁💯❤
Hey Dan! :-) I am still trying to get a hold of some of your tree collards or kale seeds/cuttings… When you did your sale a couple of weeks ago it was supposed to be for three days and I tried to buy them on the first day with no success. Not sure if it was my fault/user error or if you had already run out of them… Either way if you could just let me know it would be great!!🙏 Again thank you for all that you’re sure! :-) God bless, Eric’s
I love a good cheap and effective garden hack. Keep the thrifty garden tips coming!
You, Sir, are an absolute cast iron GENIUS.
I m subscribing.
thank you Dan! Q: what type of grow lights do you have mounted on the metro rack inside your green house? do they work? do you suggest any other ones? if you already have a video on this topic - pls share the link. thank you!
Hello! You can do a quick UA-cam search for a video titled, " How To Build An Affordable LED Grow Light Stand / Shelf With A Running Cost Of .10¢ A Day! " It has all the details about the set-up. The lights are awesome!
@@plantabundance thank you! your videos are very inspirational! the ingenuity you have come up with and shared with all of us is awesome. please keep the info coming! we are spreading the word on our end and sending people your way....... thank you again for taking the time and making the videos and responding to questions. blessings to you and your wonderful wife.
Thank you for this info. Brilliant! I felt like I couldn't start because I couldn't afford the containers and soil and seeds. This is perfect.
Wow! I saw your video in the nick of time. I was about to go out and spend $$$ on plastic totes. Instead, I ordered sand bags from TSC for $50. I am tickled beyond belief! Thank you!
I love diy I planted potatoes in catfood n dogfood 40lb bags, azure standard 25lb bags in 5 gallon buckets, I used dollar tree containers, n egg cartons too
Some clumping cat litter comes in big buckets too. I haven't planted in them yet, but they've been quite useful for all kinds of other things!
That box planter is genius!
Perfect timing!! Think moving boxes...oh boy! Going to do this. Thanks.
Has someone determined if the plastic material of the Husky Contractor Garbage Bag (Polyethylene resin) is safe for growing food?
Yes, I think it is safe. Most plastic contractor bags are LDPE. HDPE and LDPE are considered safe for growing food in them compared to other plastics. HDPE is plastic #2 (in the usa) and LDPE is plastic #4.
Thanks I used to line milk containers with plastic, I like your drainage system. This will be great for my Green house... BTW My heater is coming today to heat up my green house. I may need a second one but that is fine. Thanks. I have watched many videos but for some reason I don't get them all.
Hello and thank you very much I have been watching a few of your videos I came across and you are always giving such great ideas that is cost-effective I appreciate it keep it coming thank you again
Thank you kindly : ) Your viewership and feedback are much appreciated!
The boxes are a great idea. One year on my balcony I made a trough out of 1-inch pvc pipe and lined it with those bags and filled it with water. I placed bags of topsoil I got cheap at home depot and punched hundreds of tiny drain holes in the bottom of the dirtbags and placed them in the trough. The plants grew great. the water dried up every 3 days so no mosquitos.
This is how much space this saved Out of 26 qt size freezer bags ~ Making power from those 26 bags filled up a peanut jar of 40 oz. of tomato powder, Plus i got 2 pitchers of tomato juice for V8 drinks YUM i might have to refreeze the tomato juice back. To good to throw away. I don't know what else to do with it? other than drinking it, or making tomato soup out of the juice
Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
You solved a container issue for me! I have only just started watching your channel, and I am hooked! Thank you for sharing your gardening expertise and ideas.
Hello. Quick question, are you currently giving away something? I see a “reply” on my previous comment. With a number to call
I am curious about what compounds the trash bags release and the plants will pick up in whatever food, or vegetable they are providing?
Does anyone know if the plastic from the trash and sand bags will leak harmful stuff and affect the plants? His plants look pretty healthy though. Just wondering.
What a great idea. Perfect for my budget. Thank you.
I made aquariums this way over 40 years ago for raising tropical fish. Works a treat.
Way before plastic totes were available when we camped your box w/plastic was what we put clothes and supplies in! Brings back happy memories!
what an inspiration!, I love using easily found materials like this. great ideas thank you
