I've been watching your videos for 2 weeks now and I'm addicted! I love how you present all the information, you make it so easy for a beginner such as me. Thanks to you I've planted so many herbs and veggies! Now I look forward to everyday, waiting for the seeds to sprout and seeing them grow little by little with each passing day! I'm so grateful to you for making this possible. ♡
I wish I could show you my little garden. You really did teach me everything. I was so afraid of killing everything I touched, now I can't wait to play in the dirt. Thank you a million times!
So awesome to hear! I definitely want to showcase some growers achievements! Just trying to figure out the format and how to receive the media... We'll make it happen!
I wish I would have seen this video five years ago. I've learned much of what was has been presented the hard way. Just planted five 15 gallaon bags with a whole lot of lettuce in my "green-to" and 24' x 7'h x 5' greenhouse designed specifically for grow bags. I too have placed cardboard/paper etc on the bottom of the bags for some better moisture retention. Made a huge difference for peppers and tomatoes. Great video!
Thank you , I really needed to see this video about lettuce , I just learned my problem is root depth . I will be spending this afternoon transplanting my romaine .
Ahhhhh finally, some sunny weather! Perfect time to start my lettuce and LOL my watermelon seedlings survived the hecka amount of snow we got here after they germinated, warmth and spring is finally headed towards Regina!
My Goodness, just planted 7 kinds of lettuces (small amount of it though) and came in my room and check for videos, on lettuce and there you’re with exactly with what I need to do and don’t do as I followed my mentor 😇 (you) yehhhh...!!! Thanks JEFF🙏🇨🇦 Bibb lettuce Red Rouge D’hiver Curl Simpson Black Simpson Asparagus lettuce Iceberg Spring leaf
Yes! My garden this year consists solely of what I can grow in grow bags (I am giving up in defeat to the damn bindweed!) so all info is greatly appreciated! 🥕🍅🤞
Yes please, more veggies in fabric bags! We are moving and I can’t plant me seedings in my garden so I bought grow bags for my seedings that I will be bringing with me when we find our new place. We were told that our rental house has been put for sale and we need to go well after I seeded my vegetables... i put a lot of money into this so I bought grow bags, 10 gallons and 25 gallons I hope it will work out. So I need ideas and ‘how to’ please! Thank you for the lettuce ideas... and for all you do. I don’t have Facebook anymore but I really enjoy your UA-cam channel. My other seeds are peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, spaghetti squash, kale, My herbs are : basil, thyme, peppermint, rosemary, oregano, parsley
Thank you so much. I had my lettuce in the sun all day! No wonder why they are growing so slow ! I am going to keep them in the shade now !! Out of direct sunlight ! Thank you! :)
Great tip about lining the bottom of the grow bag with paper. I wish I had seen that before I used the exact same bags for my first attempt at peppers this year. Thanks!
I've been bingewatching your channel for a couple of weeks! I dunno what I'm doing at all, but I have managed to grow cilantro in a pot from seed and started spinach, rucola and thai basil! I feel more accomplished than I have for a long time. Thank you for the great content!
Lettuce is popular vegetable for daily cooking , very nice grow that you just bought and start your planting process into it , i like grow bag will order for my garden as well , thanks for sharing gardening tip , it good video
Thanks Mark, really appreciate that. Exactly what I am going for too.....as much information as I can squeeze in, without any wasted time. Thanks for the support!
I love that you add paper. My bags dried out so fast last year. Mulcing is perfect! Doing this so my plant babies can thrive this year with getting so dry in the black fabric. Georgia heat is tough. Thank you for your fabulous videos!!!!
I'm happy to hear that you have had a good experience with the Vivosun grow bags because I have some sitting in my cart right now. Looking forward to more grow bag content. Love your channel, btw.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'm so nervous. It's my first year gardening. I'm going to try tomatoes, peppers, cukes and maybe carrots. I'm ordering 7 and 15 gallon bags. I hope I chose correctly.
@@LilMsPrincessMe 15 gallons is HUGE! The 7 gallon ones are ideal... Perfect for tomatoes and peppers... I find the 5 gallon ones a bit too small for those guys. Exciting stuff, report back with your success!
This information will great for my fall planting. I'm in Florida so you know the struggle is real for the summer. I love the idea of using the toilet paper rolls. I'm a huge fan of reusing what we can. 👍😀🌻🌱😎😍🌼🌷😎👍
I love repurposing single use items for gardening. I’ve found that the “Ice” brand drink bottles make a great greenhouse for bromeliad propagation. Love the paper roll idea!

Hurray Grow bags it’s mainly how I grow my veggies. This brand grow bags I’ve found are the best. Wish they’d sell them here through a distributor in Aus as postage makes it expensive I’ll have to try the paper in Bottom next season Great video thank you. Yes please more videos with grow bags when you age time would be appreciated very much
Do you leave the seedlings out in the sun all day ? I don’t know how much sun seedlings should get ? Thank you so much :) I started growing lettuce in grow bags ! I should’ve started them in small little containers ! I put the seeds in my grow bag! I’ll try your way next ! I love the paper towel use!! So easy and convenient !
I am moving in January to a zone 4 rural area where the closest fresh food is a 60 mile round trip drive (in a 21 year old car). I am learning about all the things that can be frozen(whole lemons & avocados!) and am stocking a freezer with many vegetables. The thing I will really miss are daily crunchy salads. Do you think I can supply myself with greens grown inside-using grow bags-until growing season is here(~ Mother’s Day)? Thank you for your video.
