I just stumbled onto your channel. You made me laugh so hard I had to subscribe. You're adorable!!!!!
I just wanna say I got a $2 pack of at least 5000 wildflower seeds that I plan to spread in my neighborhood cause we need our native plants
I just found your channel. thank you for sharing that all putting soil can be reused. plants rock
If you Bury the pot in the soil then pull it out you will have a perfect space for the root ball to fit into 😉 the less you stress the roots the less you stress your plant.
Great idea Randy 👍 You could probably drill holes in a few buckets at a time by leaving them stacked.
yeah, thats what i thought too. until the 2nd bucket cracked completely. they are dollar tree. lol.
I used a craft knife cuz when I used my drill the container cracked ☹
@@GardeningWithSkinnyBoyRandy this is my first video I'm watching of yours, if you are concerned about cracking with a drill why not use a lighter or a lighter and a screw driver, lighter and a knife or a soldering iron if you have one on hand?
@@GardeningWithSkinnyBoyRandy hot glue gun will work better for making holes in the buckets . At least that's what I found worked for me . My drill always cracked the thin plastic stuff .
@@GardeningWithSkinnyBoyRandy I was expecting it to crack on video lol. I will try a soldering iron as it will melt the plastic and not put stress on the bucket. I am curious if those are made with harmful chemicals as a lot of DT items are. If they are, I'd much rather spend the extra $2 to get a food-grade 5 gallon bucket at Walmart and put empty water botles or broken seed trays in bottom to use less soil. They would be safe and last much longer. One Fall about 5 yrs ago I found huge planters at Family Dollar marked down to 10cents each! I bought all they had. I love deals like that!! I just found your channel and am enjoying it so far. Your energy is off the charts lol!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
U slide over and came back to the other side
TOOK ME OUT
The best move ever!!!
Yesssss! I did the same thing last season with the buckets! Lol! I was looking for a cheaper way to grow veggies or herbs without breaking the bank! Great minds! Keep it up young man! 💜🌱💜
This should be in the millions views. Awesome idea Bruh. Thanks for sharing. ✌ Subscribing!!
If you leave the buckets stacked you can drill thru more than one at a time
The Dollar Tree is the spot! You can find some great deals on things there and convert them into something else that is useful for you. Gotta have an open mind. Love this idea. Thank you!
Great tip! 🎉
Way to come through Randy. This is my first time on your channel, new subscribber!
There is still snow in our backyard in nyc.
I've used all sorts of things as plant containers, for the plants that don't go directly in the ground. At first I very much tried to reuse what we had on hand (in my case a lot of large used yogurt cups). I've since demoted those to 'transport' pots, for people to take plants home in then recycle when they put that plant either in the ground or a better pot. With temperature fluctuations and UV light a LOT of the plastic options break down too quickly, falling apart+leaving shattered plastic pieces which can get blown around in the wind making an awful mess. I switched to the heavy duty black plastic nursery style pots (or similar nursery style 'air' pots, which I line with bags made of landscaping fabric where applicable; those primarily for more permanent indoor plants). They're not terribly expensive, if you get the same size(s) they'll stack/nest, they are lightweight and can handle occasional freezing (vs some clay etc. type pots tend to break) and you can reuse them for many, many more years than other plastic options. I'd rather spend $2-3 on a pot that will last me 10+ years than $1 on a bucket which, when exposed to the elements, is unlikely to get thru 1. That said your enthusiasm is great, +different methods work for different people.
Love it! So proud of you. Thanks for sharing and Happy Growing from your PhalPal Durrell ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🇺🇸
Look what we can do
Wonderful Idea!
You use only Coco with seedling?
Nice!! Ty
We ain’t got no money to be throwing nuttin away!!🤣🤣
Gotta be X TRA!!!
2 of my succulent plants keep getting white mold. What am I doing wrong?
Over watering. Might try letting them get dry then watering with 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water. Oxygenates the roots and kills mold in soil.
Remember to make sure whatever plastic container you want to plant in is okay to grow food in...check for these numbers on the bottom of the container: 1, 2, 4, and 5.🙂 If there's no number pass it up, something better will come across your path that's safe to grow in. Happy safe gardening!🙂
Good day I used the dollar buckets last year and they worked wonderfully Happy Gardening !!
I'm growing carrots in my mop buckets. They love it.
Going to put carrots and rooted things in mine too! I put holes in 12 buckets. Kept 6 with the bottoms intact to mix and/or carry stuff💜
@@GQUATTRADITIONZS Watch how well the carrots thrive. You're gonna love it.
I was worried it would be too short. So do you just pull them and reuse the soil?
@@aprilrandolph8542 Yyyyyeper. I add a lil bone meal and some worm castings and reuse the soil.
Yesss. You have to think outside the box when gardening!
I need his energy. I need it in the morning
I know right!!😃
I only clicked on the video to see his energy level and say something similar. My channel is all mellow, slow, conversational. SBR is like the living version of an energy drink.
Me too 😆😆😆
I say that a lot lol
I'm low energy myself so seeing this video for the first time i went "😳😳😳 what the...?"
So intense
"Home grown veg " has a whole channel devoted to bucket gardening. SBR is right about how this style can be perfect for square foot gardening. I 💘 this channel because its creative, direct to the point, with an encouraging energetic smile. 🌱😊🌱
Thank you Vida, I will check them out.
I came for the gardening advice. I stayed for Randy's amazing energy.
I love it! That’s what we call a productive gardening!! Okay okay
TIP: I put empty water bottles with the caps on. In bottom of container. Soil. Plants.
They are light weight plus you use 1/3 less soil. I do this always.
If I could only wake up with his type of energy! 😉
Thank you so much!!!!! Especially helpful with the handle for bringing them in and out the house
Fabulous ingenuity, The Dollar Tree needs you as a spokes person Randy they Should hire you!
I Don't put holes in the bottom of the buckets. I Put holes around the sides about an inch up. You now have a small water reservoir so the plants do not dry out so fast. You can add a layer of rocks on the bottom if worried about drainage. If the roots need that water, they will grow into the bottom.
I did that for my potatoes this year wish meluck!
@@redtigerlily8165 good luck!
Hi. Yup that works too. Thank you! I have tried both ways. I always like a bottom drain for my containers in the green house. Don't let nobody tell you what to do in your garden! OKAY!
Thank you Skinny Boy Randy for always putting a smile on our faces whilst teaching us all how to garden. You rock! :)
I started my balcony container garden in those. I had great results.
I am retired and on a budget i so appreciate ur channel.
I wish I had half ur energy and enthusiasm 😄
Man, brotha, you gotta lot of energy. Blessings to you.
EVERYTHING is plant container.
OK MY DEAR THANKS FOR THE SIMPLE AND GREAT INFORMATION ... GOOD BLESSINGS
I was thinking about using these buckets! But I kept passing them up (looking for the older style). Oh well, after this I won't pass them up again!
Your channel was was suggested and I'm so glad! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Love this!
I love your channel..I just subscribed!! I'm doing my 1st garden...& I'm going to get me some $1 buckets!! lol...cuz my seedlings is growning good.
I bought some of those the other day to do the same thing but my plants are ready to be transplanted. Thanks for sharing
Do wash your hands after mixing in that doodoo, ha! TY for a doable (ha!) clip! So many clips require winning the lottery to do, but I can fantasize 🍅, 🌶️ and much more this easy way. TY again.
Just found your channel! Liked and subscribed. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing
Omg this good energy is infectious! 💫💃🏾💫
I just woke up and you already made my day!
I like this. I only have a small patio that is mostly in the shade. With these I can move them out into the sun and bring them back in the evening! I can grow things I thought I couldn't!
You do get what you pay for. I purchased some of those same planter pots at the dollar store and after about a year the plastic started to become brittle. Maybe the buckets will last longer.
Skinny Boy I Love your High Vibrational Energy, and your creativity for gardening. Keep it up
Hi Randy!🤗 Great video and tips..$Tree buckets for gardening!🥰 Have to pick some of those buckets up! Did not think about those buckets when I made my last garden seed haul at the $Tree! Right now in Zone 5, it is 5 degrees with windchill of - 9 below zero and 11 inches of snow on ground. Predicted to go negative regular temperatures with windchill up to -20 below zero by Monday morning....burr! Keep the great videos and tips coming!
Stay blessed and safe! 🦋2/7/2021🦋
I subbed soon as I saw your intro haha love the positivity man keep it up!
Thank you for your creativity, you make me creative, too. I used empty 1 pint water bottle. I cut it in half, make holes at the bottom and filled it up with soil. Then I planted my bitter melon seeds and this morning I found out that all my seeds already are germinating.
Thank you Randy for bringing out my creativity.
Every time I watch one of your videos I want to start growing 😊
Walmart reusable bags are only 50 cents each and they are like 5 gallons
Fabulous! I love your enthusiasm!
I now want to try using a laundry basket and maybe line it with some window screen material or maybe some old hay. Might be good for carrots.
me luck! Seen the taller one used for potatoes
@@redtigerlily8165 I just came in from the morning chores and spotted some leftover expanded metal that I have. I think I am going to wire that into a circle and plant it up. I think it would be perfect for potatoes! Hopefully, it would also keep the voles out. The voles are so bad here!
I use these products I agree can be costly but worth it . I still add hot water to my soul ❤️ before mixing ! Great video
My soil lol
You need to hit the pudding cups you get to eat it and then seed start in it afterwards!!!!you are a ray of light!
Yes I love these mop buckets and use them for my pepper plants
If you add mulch instead of more soil to top off your pot it will help keep the soil moist and cool
I love your energy and beautiful attitude 💕
Yassss..I am so ready for my gardening
Very nice, thank you!
Thank you for sharing
LOOK AT THOSE LIKES, SkinnyBoyRandy!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
You are funny 🙏🏾
RANDY U ARE AWESOME
I'm so glad to see someone from my home town because I know the info pertains to the climate here and not in another state. Thanks for all of the tips, love your channel. I'm going to give growing carrots in a grow bag or bucket a try.
Awesome video!
My goodness...watching you in the morning is exhausting!!!! Your energy is off the hook!!!!! How many batteries do you run off?? Happy planting love!!!
surprised you didn't just drill all of them while they were stacked up
Love it :) Last year I grew root veggies in 18 gallon tubs. No need to build a raised bed. Work it out !!
You always crack me up Skinny Boy Randy. So glad I found your channel from the Gardening and homesteading for the non offended. And who says the best things in life arent free?
those buckets grow a beautiful garden.
Thanks!
Great video enjoyed it straight to the point we did bucket planting last year
You guys can also use a shank spade drill bit comes in a set at Walmart or any hardware stores makes all size holes.
Always got to be EXTRA LOL ..Gonna love this guy. Who knew gardening was this much fun.
Bro your so extra animated I love it your awsome .
Thank you so much 😀
Make sure they have a '5' Rating on the bottom which indicates that they can be used for planting, growing or even just 'HOLDING' food items.
Put some plastic water bottles at the bottom of the bucket and put holes in the bucket before you fill it up with soil. Also you want to presoak the peat moss before planting.
.
OMG this is one time I’m thanking UA-cam for suggesting a video. I was hooked at what’s up what’s up what’s up….I love you joyous spirit and I’m looking forward to watching your videos. Blessing and great gardening to you 🪴
I enjoy your videos in your energy you've helped me so much I watch a few I'm going to join your Facebook page now and get me a couple of these buckets
Hey Randy, I'm your neighbor here in the RVA. How about including the leaf mulch that's free at the recycling center along with the compost mixture? Would that be a good idea.
Also, growing in plastic? Really? That's good for the environment? How??? How long are those cheap buckets going to last before they will be in the landfill?
Hey Randy I first want to say thank you for your videos. You make gardening so fun. I just started watching your videos and I ordered my seeds from honestseedco. I just got them but I'm not sure what soil I should buy. Any suggestions? I got lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, jalapeno, radish,collard greens things like that. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have a Facebook that's why I'm asking on here. Thanks again for all your hard work.
I am loving the dollar tree bucket thing! I love clay pots but that can get expensive quick! And we aint got no money around here either LOL probably from buying all these dang clay pots! I'm not sure if the plastic is food grade but I'm getting tired of worrying about things like that anyway. We're only here for a little while as it is so live love laugh grow food and eat it! Love you SBR! I'm in zone 7 also yes gardening can get tricky. Last year I didn't get started until June, first garden lots to learn. This year in March I'm looking at all my seeds from last year thinking "please yall grow for me!" but TODAY I'm ready and armed with more knowledge, perlite, peat moss, bone meal, blood meal, fish emulsion, another type of granular fertilizer for vegetable gardens, neem oil, diatomaceous earth, red plastic cups from dollar tree and two new LED lights that kept 7 or 8 plants going all winter long!
This is the most extra thing I've ever seen... I'm here for it hahaha
I started growing my veggies in 5 gallon Home Depot buckets years ago when there was a neighborhood mole or gopher problem. It kept them from destroying my plants. We did not have a dollar store nearby. Planting in buckets also makes it easier to contain plants that may have fungus or pest infestation from spreading into the ground soil or to other plants because you can move them away from other plants if necessary without having to dig them out. And a tomato cage fits perfectly in them. When growing plants in buckets you must water them more frequently and provide them nutrients. I now have a succulent bucket garden that has lasted for years. For those plants that cascade, I stack them atop another bucket to give them room. After several years the plastic starts to crack a bit especially being in full sun and harsh climate but they are holding up. Then a dollar store came into the neighborhood and I bought several of their buckets like you did but am using the ones I bought as self-watering pots for some of my houseplants. Home Depot 2 gallon nursery pots fit perfectly inside the dollar store buckets. (Abt $2 per pot.) Just pour the water in the bottom of the bucket (don't drill holes in the bucket) (the nursery pot has holes in the bottom) and let the plant in the nursery pot absorb the water from the bottom for an hour then pour the rest of the water out. (Very important that you don't leave them in the water over an hour, very important to pour the leftover water out.) The self-watering bucket system has helped control fungus gnats. Before using the buckets, I spray painted them in different colors. I also used those dollar store plastic plant pots that they sell sometimes in the spring and use them for planting flower bulbs like daffodils, iris, hyacinth, lily, freesia, anemone, flowers that only bloom once a year for a limited time and can be moved when dormant without having to dig them up. (Must put holes in the bottom of the pot.) That's the story of my "pot garden." Buckets are also useful for apartment dwelling gardeners with balconies.
Happy gardening! Happy spring! Happy, happy everything! 2022
This is a very cool garden channel!
I PUT MY HUSBAND'S DRILL TO GOOD USE🌱🌿🍂👌 BECAUSE HE 🤭 HASN'T 🤣🤭😆
Newbie here! I live in GA, what can I start planting now? Any fruits, veggies, herbs? I’m totally open and heading to the store later today. Any insight is greatly appreciated darling!
Fantastic 💚 you brightened up my day 😁
I love using buckets! Im thinking 5gal is too big for carrots, brocolie. Might give dollar tree buckets a try. What do u think?
Thank you! You made that look so easy and inexpensive 👍🏻
I love using the dollar tree buckets as pots too! I wonder if you have tried to use a bucket with a wire basket for watering indoor plants. The basket is half as tall as the wire wastebasket. Set it in the bucket upside down. Put your plant pot on top of the basket. Give your plant a good watering. I go back 30 minutes to an hour and plant back where it belongs. I use 5 buckets at a time and just go room to room. Stay safe and healthy!!
Hello Randy, Great video on using the DT mop buckets for planters. I have been using mine since last year to mix my soil with hot water. Be careful because the buckets crack easily too just as the planters when using a space hand shovel or drill. Thumbs up ALWAYS! Love you back!
Hey Nephew!
Enjoyed this Video as well as All the others! Yes, I saw your Stack of Buckets! Handy for carrying and mixing things, with holes in the bottom nice and deep for planting. 8 more inches of snow today here in CT6b. No outside gardening, 😢 boo boo.
Stay safe. 💚 Auntie Ellen
