This is TULLE that Great Fabric SO CHEAP and last all year outside here, here is an aff. link to check out, many colors, I usually get one of the greens, but any color will work great: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575376117&toolid=10001&campid=5338267736&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FTulle-Fabric-Bolt-54-X40yds-Wedding-Bridal-Party-Favor-Decoration-Tutu-Craft%2F381670793265%3Fvar%3D650737116165
What a wonderful ideà. First time I heard this. I will get some for a friend growing a small avocado tree in a pot to protect it from sun burn hopefully. Thank you
@@joangreenert7216 That was the 1st video of her that came up…. NO she does not put holes in the containers… too much water - with the Tulle draped a bit over the edge she lifts the entire seedling and dirt up and drains out the water- easy to separate the newbie plants too - cool!
I had a horrible wake up this morning. All the containers I planted yesterday were destroyed by what I assume were squirrels. I was so upset. Then I remembered watching your video and buying the tulle. Thank you so much for all the info. Life saver.
Robbie!!! You have changed my life and given me the greatest gift!!! I’ve started my three tiered container veggie garden 😃. I have also made my own hummer fountain and have been hooked on your videos for two whole weeks!! You are awesome!! I love your spirit and your excitement, and you make everything seem possible through your presentation! You have truly been a blessing in my life during this time of tragedy, sadness, and uncertainty! My vegetable garden is not even a week old (I bought starts from local growers). That’s all I think about now, mostly! 😍🌱🌽🌾💖💖💖
I just started watching an hour ago (Sterlite raised bed containers) and her videos are so fun (beginning to change my life too and now thinking where I can start in the back yard) and now I see some of her hummingbird videos which I have to check out! 👍🌷💕
Years ago, i moved into a house that had a garden bed. So i bought a bunch of starts and spent several hours put them into the bed. I was so excited the next day when I woke up. I grabbed a cup of coffee and raced out to see my hard work. But unknown to me, my neighbor who was an appliance repairman, had many (about 40, i guess) old appliances in his backyard, which also house many rats. Overnight, they came into my yard and pulled out every plant, rootballs and soil included, from the ground, through the hedge between our properties and ate most of the plants. We know this because we followed the dirt and eaten to the roots plants into their yard, and even found several still munching. Wish I knew your tuille trick then. It was a very expensive lesson, from the loss of the cost of the original plants, the replacement plants, and the t-post and hardware cloth fence I had to erect around the garden i was told I needed if I wanted to ever see a plant mature. Those were very expensive meals I made from the produce. Lol
So sorry to hear about that, I know that issue well, try the Tulle works great here; I also have a new garden going up this year for pest issues of all kinds, so watch for that too, will cost more then tulle though ❤️
My mom kept getting confused when I would say tulle because she wanted to know which tool i meant, shovel, etc. So I started calling it the tutu fabric.
Oh good lord. I remember having to wear a tutu as a little ballerina. I much preferred brother’s hand me down jeans and running around barefoot in the garden. Lol. Now I know why the varmints don’t like that stuff it was scratchy and itchy!! 🤣
In Britain, we pronounce it tee-ool - we have strange accents here. My American husband calls it that green stuff, even if we have white or pastel coloured tulle🤣.
With the warnings of coming food shortages this may be a life saver for some of us and by increasing our harvest we can help out our neighbors too. Thank you!
Your garden is so amazing 🤩 I wish I ever had a garden .. to poor to have one. Living with the blessings God hve given and that is a small balcony. I love growing. I have tomatoes, pepper lemon grass, passion fruits creeper and radish..
Just bought 4 of tulle. I got a 20% off plus 10.00 off coupon. Living off social security, this really helped. I am glad I found your videos. I get ideas from just about everyone I have watched so far. Also, great information. Thank you for taking the time to help us.
The driveway garden is a great idea! I have 4 feet of soil going down the entire length of the property, and it gets sun, So it would be my ideal place to set up my garden!
Where did you get your tulle from if you dont mind me asking. I live in the UK and went on ebay like Robbie said and all I can get here is tulle that is 6 inches wide......15cms ! Presumably yours is wider than that ?
I watched this video at the beginning of the 2022 growing season. It SAVED my plants! This year for the first time, four legged critters started eating my plants. This was the first Spring since our two dogs passed away, and the critters must think it's open season on my garden. I only had time to put the tulle over two of my raised beds, and the plants in the other beds were eaten to stems! I reseeded and made sure to cover the newly seeded beds in tulle and it worked like a charm! Thank you for this terrific tool!
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a lifesaver. I live on a Caribbean island and I have loads of issues with roosters, hens and chickens which fly over the walls and roam around the community, scratching out almost everything. I will definitely try your ideas. You are a lifesaver.
I would think it should work for those Chickens...Hopefully they are dropping off some eggs when they pay you a visit to your garden, LOL, thanks so much, take care, Robbie
You call it tulle (tool). Here in Washington State we have always called it tully (tool-lee). Thanks for sharing all your innovations! I love them! Here's an idea for you...Instead of peanut butter jars for hummingbird feeders, you could buy the plastic lids for the Ball or Kerr canning jars (the small ones) and burn holes in the top of those! This way you can put them in your dish washer when they become empty! Ball and Kerr jars come in a variety of small sizes, and they both can use the plastic lids!
Based on your video, I ordered some tulle. It arrived yesterday, and I'm already using it all around the garden. So far, so good. Thanks for the tip! When planting seeds, I plant them all and water in properly and then lay a window screen on top. That keeps the birds and critters out until the seedlings get a foothold. Once the shoots appear, I remove the screens. Neighbors think it's weird, but I'm having much more luck in the garden this year being consistent with my screens.
I've used Tulle in my garden in the past! I have it over my "Moving Bin" Vegi Garden! I will remove the Tulle as soon as the blooms come on! Live all of your gardening ideas!!!
Thanks, Robbie. I just ordered my tulle from Ebay. I'm using mine to cover my strawberry plants. It REALLY works! The Robbins just move along and the squirrels don't even get close. I love watching all your gardening programs. You have such unique and cost saving ideas! Thanks for sharing!
You are a Gem! I just started gardening vegetables and have watched over 50 content creators and when I found, it felt like "home". Your honesty and down to earth manner make me feel like I can do this :)
I use it to cover my kale to keep the moths out. I’ve even sewed two lengths together with giant hand stitches to make it even wider then stretched it over hula hoops that Ives taken apart to hoop over my plants.
I am so thankful that I found your channel!! I’m in FL in the country and with so much wildlife, I’ve been debating on starting it! I love how you use the tulle to protect everything!!! I’m so encouraged to get started!!! Thank you for sharing all your practical ideas!! You are amazing!! 🌺
what a timely video!! I've just planted tomato seeds and flower seeds in pots, and I've been watching them like a hawk, and I just noticed that my tiny tomato sprouts have been disappearing, and didn't know why! Now I know it's probably the robins or other birds hanging around, so I'm gonna get the pink tulle out of my fabric stash, and protect my poor little babies! thank you!!
The right Tule for the right job. Way ahead of you Darlin', I started using it last year. I have a large planting area under a huge Apple Tree. Here in Colorado we are subject to violent hail. I grow dozens of Peppers (Sweet and Hot). I cover rows with wire fencing standing on top of tomato cages (tunnel shaped), then I drape Tule over the top! It keeps bugs out. Unless I lift the sides. It keeps the hail out! Lets the sun in. Keeps Tree Debris out. And rain can go through and I can hand water right through it. I love the stuff. I might Marry it! LOL I washed it in the washing machine and bought yet another, now they are both out there. I will be buying more. I like your seedling box idea.
Those extra tips at the ending of the video are something that is wonderful to know. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. The dog is so cute with her tulle bow.
You may think poorly of me but I actually used my moms 70 year old wedding veil which went way down over a train so very long for several years when I first moved to Florida. May sound irreverent but I was trying to be less of a pack rat and I was stunned by the poor soil and vast number of birds, insects and diseases to contend with. I gardened all my life but never more difficult than north central fl. It lasted several years then I went onto using old sheer curtains.
I happened on to your show a year ago and then lost it for awhile then I found you again ! I learn so much from you and Gary your gardens are so wonderful I love the earth friendly way you and Gary think and do .I love your enthusiasm! Sincerly vicki
Kitty is so cute in her tulle bow. Thank you for sharing her with us. I always enjoy all the little extras you add to your videos; birds, deer, Gary, etc. I’m sorry things have been frightening for you and your family and everyone there recently in Los Angeles. I hope and pray your family is safe and have not suffered property damage. I have family living in northeastern Los Angeles. I pray changes can be made without further violence or hurt. Blessings
I saw this video today. Birds were already eating my blueberries, so I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and got 20 yards of Emerald green tulle. I wrapped the bushes tonight. My husband is going to order some from the link for my vegetables. Thank you so much!!!
This is one of the best tips! I did order some and am using it with the plastic containers and hoops & I use clothes pins to clip it...it is wonderful to keep out cats who are so terrible to get into garden beds...and it keeps out unwanted seeds in winds. I also loved seeing your creativity with the lids (the winds here are too strong and they blow off for me) Thank you so much for sharing & the heads-up on the sale because I need another bolt!
What intelligent ideas!!! Thanks a lot. Will be getting some of those tulle for my okras. Wish you would show how you started your okras. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all the great information! I learn a lot from your videos that help me in our gardens. I really enjoy the birds also in your videos. I’m thinking about making one of the solar fountains…it looks so easy.. anyway.. thanks for the valuable information 😅
Hi from Southwest TN. This tip have saved my garden for 3 years now! I wrap my tomato clusters loosely with tulle and secure with clothes pins. We have black worms that destroys the fruit. I pick my tomatoes as they get ripe then close the cluster. This is fantastic! Thank you Robbie for saving my organic garden. 🌻🐛👒🐸🐞🏵 Rhonda
Thanks so much for this great gardening hack. The birds and other critters ate over 90% of my figs last year. Thanks to you, my family and I will be enjoying them this yr! God bless.❤️
How clever. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to start some sunflower seeds in ground without birds and squirrels them out of ground going to start using this. Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TULLE IDEA. IT WORKS FOR BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND NOW GOING TO GROW LETTUCE IN TUB WITH CUT OUT LID REPLACED BY TULLE. THIS IS A TOP #1 TIP IN MY GARDEN!!!!
Thank you so much for the best tip ever in warding off rodents, critters etc.. I've watched your hummingbird videos, made a quick fountain for them with your fantastic videos on them and now am getting Tulle!! Absolute life saver for the heartache I have gone through in the past with the critter nonsense! So, thank you so much!! God bless!
I got so fed up with dealing with squash borers that I've switched to growing squash plants in containers this year and covered the plants with tulles as per your methods and been hand pollinating them. So far so good. Thanks to your great ideas!
Thank you for the idea of using tulle. I had recently heard of using organza (the stuff I saw had a much tighter weave than tulle, almost like a sheet), but I like your idea better because I think the airflow will be better, but I'm hoping the tulle will work as well for bugs. I haven't gardened in over 30 years, so I'm a newbie again. Zone 6a here in southeast Michigan. Just starting out small this year with a few containers. Hoping to go bigger next year, we'll see how it goes. I really enjoy your great personality and down to earth (no pun intended) approach to gardening regardless of what kind of space or budget people have. : ) P.S.- just now ordered 2 of the tulle (white) from your link.
I collected a bunch of old lace type curtains at the thrift stores . . works the same. Great for row covers. Just be sure the holes in the lace are quite fine -- smaller than cucumber beetles.
Oh, my goodness! Rats, birds, and my crazy black lab ate half of my orange harvest this year. At our cabin, deer are also a problem. I've almost given up gardening outside. This could be a game-changer for me. Thank you so much. I'm buying this stuff today.
I guess you can buy tulle. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, my aunt used to use old sheer curtains, and you can often get those for free. She used it to protect her strawberries from birds and turtles. Her plants were in the ground, I don't think we ever heard of container gardening back then.
Using tulle is a great idea for keeping the rats out of my tomatoes! Loving your videos. I want to again try container gardening using your unique methods.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much for going over the different ways you use tulle in your garden! Very versatile!! I’m going to share this with my co-worker who is having issues with birds eating the plums or pluots. I told her to use netting to protect her tree but I’m going to make sure she knows about tulle😊
Thank you Robbie & Gray for sharing that's an awesome tip using Tulle/Netting - I've been using frost-free netting but it doesn't last long - now I'm off to buy me some Tulle/Netting for my small garden to protect my succulents that get drowned out when it rains. Not sure if this will work but I'm going to give it a go & also to protect my broccoli from the white butterfly & lettuces. So Be It!!!
I love tulle! I watched this video in 2020 and began using tulle in 2021! Yes it is good for so many jobs in the garden. It does everything you said it would achieve. However it keeps bad bugs out of my pumpkins and other vegetables. thank you.
Thanks to you Robbie I've been able to save pumpkins, watermelons, lettuce seedlings, and more. And I've been telling others about your garden saving idea.🙂
Oh my goodness what an idea! I never would have thought of using tulle to cover my little fruit trees and different things in my yard. Thank you so much you give me so many good ideas so your videos. Keep up the good work.
Great idea for the tote lids, Robbie, also might offer some protection from this relentless heat in Cen Cal. You have given me an idea for lining the beds of my above ground gardens too, would be worth a try against gophers and much cheaper than chicken wire. Love your little puppy at the end of the video with her tulle bow. Have a great day.
Kim Peters ...I do that too with some beds. A few neighbors cats get into garden and do their business. I've spent money on plastic cage trellis as well. I will definitely try tulle on the top instead of branches and fine netting.
Ballerina skirts and skating costumes too! Don't be afraid to look for those in 2nd hand to stores! But they'll be expensive there, since skating costumes are just plain expensive, no matter where you find them!
Love how your growing food in everything. Thanks for sharing the link, I just ordered some. The price is really the lowest from doing my research, you get a discount the more you order and free shipping. Awesome deal. Thanks
So cool about the tulle! You have inspired me, I have a million birds, squirrels, rabbits, mice, a cat, and many other critters and gave up till I saw this video. Friends for life, Robbie..
Best pest contriol idea I saw this video a day toolste!Hubby put up chicken wire, but i will be adding Tulle* too!Thank you, Thank you!Thank you, oh and did I say Thank you? "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope & Mark!
❤!!!👍 in SC. I’m growing plants to engage my mother 83. She is so excited to sit on her porch now. I am setting up bird feeders, hummingbirds feeders, and working on the water ideas now. Thanks!!$!!❤
I am so glad that your video popped up on my phone today. I ordered 2 bats of thule. Plus looking at your tubs for container gardens. I have all my tubs in my shed, not being used. I love the cinderblocks too. Instead of building a new greenhouse, I am going to plant all my lettuce in my driveway and cover them with the thule open lid frame. Great ideas! Thank you!
The feeder is a good idea. I have 1 squirrel that likes to bury acorns in my flower pots. I have a birds nest in 1 of my favorite hanging flower pots. Also, 1 baby rabbit is living under my house and my outside building. I live in the country. A lot of animals around.
So glad to have found you Robbie 🙏 Amazing tips for sure. Already made the solar powered bird bath (from the hummingbird videos! Love all of your tips as it shows gardening does not have to be expensive at all...may be we need to buy only the things we absolutely cannot make on our own. Thank you so much.
The tulle is for really non-pollinated plants, to protect seeds or vegetables. Big Holes can hurt birds, I have another video on that very topic coming out later this week, thanks, Robbie
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I can imagine it could be problematic for small birds. In my allotment I've never seen small birds coming around, just the big ones like crows, or wild ducks. I guess it depends on the place and type of garden, type of plant - I will pay better attention to it next time.
Robbie & Gary. You guys are awesome. Robbie, I adore you and your quick and practical gardening tips, along with the tips for the incredible hummingbirds. You're great!
The tulle fabric on cut-out lid for seed starting is so fantastic. I am going to give it a try for my second planting ! thank you for saving me money and making me feel like a re-use champ...
LOL, the last time I used the word 'tulle' was while teaching Emily Dickinson's 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death' and now, I know how to use tulle - Thank you!
Thank you so much for this great idea! Well several great ideas actually using tulle. I've been at odds with the bazillion squirrels, chipmunks and birds not to mention slugs and this will help with all of them. Just ordered 3 apple green and 1 fuchsia! Thanks for saving my garden!!! ~Tracy :-)
You discovered and gave away my 40yr garden secret. I love using this for my tomato plants, protection on berry bushes, and as slings for heavy produce.
Can you pin where you get the tulle

You can get it @ walmart, too.
She gets her on eBay. It is also sold at ant fabric store, such as JoAnne Fabric, Hobby Lobby, Walmart just to name a few.
LOL I never thought of cottage cheese containers. You are so garden wise.
Thank you so much for posting this. I love the excitement of your Love of gardening and tulle uses around the garden
The EBAY TULLE COMPANY needs to SPONSER THIS WOMAN 🙌🏻

What a wonderful ideà. First time I heard this. I will get some for a friend growing a small avocado tree in a pot to protect it from sun burn hopefully. Thank you
Thinking the same!

I've used bird net over my razzberies only to have small bees eating them.

How would you use this on fruit trees (peaches)? Around the trunk or over the whole tree?

Those extra tips at the ending of the video are something that is wonderful to know. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. The dog is so cute with her tulle bow.
You may think poorly of me but I actually used my moms 70 year old wedding veil which went way down over a train so very long for several years when I first moved to Florida. May sound irreverent but I was trying to be less of a pack rat and I was stunned by the poor soil and vast number of birds, insects and diseases to contend with. I gardened all my life but never more difficult than north central fl. It lasted several years then I went onto using old sheer curtains.
I can see why you're so excited! This is fantastic! Thank You!
I love it, and so cheap, THANK YOU, Take care, Robbie
Isnt it a wonderful idea!!
I happened on to your show a year ago and then lost it for awhile then I found you again ! I learn so much from you and Gary your gardens are so wonderful I love the earth friendly way you and Gary think and do .I love your enthusiasm! Sincerly vicki
Welcome back, so much more to come this year. Thank you so much and happy gardening.😊❤️💕🌱
Kitty is so cute in her tulle bow. Thank you for sharing her with us. I always enjoy all the little extras you add to your videos; birds, deer, Gary, etc. I’m sorry things have been frightening for you and your family and everyone there recently in Los Angeles. I hope and pray your family is safe and have not suffered property damage. I have family living in northeastern Los Angeles. I pray changes can be made without further violence or hurt. Blessings
I saw this video today. Birds were already eating my blueberries, so I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and got 20 yards of Emerald green tulle. I wrapped the bushes tonight. My husband is going to order some from the link for my vegetables. Thank you so much!!!
This is one of the best tips! I did order some and am using it with the plastic containers and hoops & I use clothes pins to clip it...it is wonderful to keep out cats who are so terrible to get into garden beds...and it keeps out unwanted seeds in winds. I also loved seeing your creativity with the lids (the winds here are too strong and they blow off for me) Thank you so much for sharing & the heads-up on the sale because I need another bolt!
What intelligent ideas!!! Thanks a lot. Will be getting some of those tulle for my okras. Wish you would show how you started your okras. Thanks for sharing.
Will do, thanks
Robbie you are a genius ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas.
Amen! South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for all the great information! I learn a lot from your videos that help me in our gardens. I really enjoy the birds also in your videos. I’m thinking about making one of the solar fountains…it looks so easy.. anyway.. thanks for the valuable information 😅
You are so welcome! 😊 Thanks
Hi from Southwest TN.
This tip have saved my garden for 3 years now!
I wrap my tomato clusters loosely with tulle and secure with clothes pins. We have black worms that destroys the fruit. I pick my tomatoes as they get ripe then close the cluster. This is fantastic!
Thank you Robbie for saving my organic garden.

Thanks so much for this great gardening hack. The birds and other critters ate over 90% of my figs last year. Thanks to you, my family and I will be enjoying them this yr! God bless.❤️
How clever. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to start some sunflower seeds in ground without birds and squirrels them out of ground going to start using this. Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TULLE IDEA. IT WORKS FOR BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND NOW GOING TO GROW LETTUCE IN TUB WITH CUT OUT LID REPLACED BY TULLE. THIS IS A TOP #1 TIP IN MY GARDEN!!!!
You make gardening easy and affordable. Thanks
Brilliant idea! the birds love to eat my pea seedlings! I told them to wait for it to grow so we can share! Thanks for another awesome idea!
"Look! A tomato volunteer has come up!"
...that made my heart happy lol
Wow! Great idea! This could solve so many rodent and bird problems. I will definitely try this.
Thank you so much for the best tip ever in warding off rodents, critters etc.. I've watched your hummingbird videos, made a quick fountain for them with your fantastic videos on them and now am getting Tulle!! Absolute life saver for the heartache I have gone through in the past with the critter nonsense! So, thank you so much!! God bless!
I got so fed up with dealing with squash borers that I've switched to growing squash plants in containers this year and covered the plants with tulles as per your methods and been hand pollinating them. So far so good. Thanks to your great ideas!
Thank you for the idea of using tulle. I had recently heard of using organza (the stuff I saw had a much tighter weave than tulle, almost like a sheet), but I like your idea better because I think the airflow will be better, but I'm hoping the tulle will work as well for bugs. I haven't gardened in over 30 years, so I'm a newbie again. Zone 6a here in southeast Michigan. Just starting out small this year with a few containers. Hoping to go bigger next year, we'll see how it goes. I really enjoy your great personality and down to earth (no pun intended) approach to gardening regardless of what kind of space or budget people have. : ) P.S.- just now ordered 2 of the tulle (white) from your link.
I save all the net bags from oranges and grapefruit etc to wrap around the base of a plant. This does work I know from experience last season!
I collected a bunch of old lace type curtains at the thrift stores . . works the same. Great for row covers. Just be sure the holes in the lace are quite fine -- smaller than cucumber beetles.
Oh, my goodness! Rats, birds, and my crazy black lab ate half of my orange harvest this year. At our cabin, deer are also a problem. I've almost given up gardening outside. This could be a game-changer for me. Thank you so much. I'm buying this stuff today.
I love that idea of putting it on a lid and making a breathable lid for my worm bin!
I guess you can buy tulle. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, my aunt used to use old sheer curtains, and you can often get those for free. She used it to protect her strawberries from birds and turtles. Her plants were in the ground, I don't think we ever heard of container gardening back then.
Thanks for sharing😊
As a seamstress, I use tulle in my garden, too. I am glad you are using this material. I see more ideas. Thanks.
Wonderful! Thanks, and take care, Robbie
I used white tulle last year as a shade cloth. It works great as I was gardening off seed starts i grew inside my home.
Using tulle is a great idea for keeping the rats out of my tomatoes! Loving your videos. I want to again try container gardening using your unique methods.
Love it! I found a bolt at Goodwill that had metallic thread. Double bang!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much for going over the different ways you use tulle in your garden! Very versatile!! I’m going to share this with my co-worker who is having issues with birds eating the plums or pluots. I told her to use netting to protect her tree but I’m going to make sure she knows about tulle😊
Been wanting to start a little garden but deterred by the pest situation- this has given me much hope to go forward and grow some stuff! Tks so much!
I have some left over tulle in storage. The birds been nibbling on my sugar snap peas. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Robbie & Gray for sharing that's an awesome tip using Tulle/Netting - I've been using frost-free netting but it doesn't last long - now I'm off to buy me some Tulle/Netting for my small garden to protect my succulents that get drowned out when it rains. Not sure if this will work but I'm going to give it a go & also to protect my broccoli from the white butterfly & lettuces. So Be It!!!
At 5:03 , making a Tulle tote lid cover to protest new seedlings in the garden. Works PERFECT for us!
I love tulle! I watched this video in 2020 and began using tulle in 2021! Yes it is good for so many jobs in the garden. It does everything you said it would achieve. However it keeps bad bugs out of my pumpkins and other vegetables. thank you.
Thanks to you Robbie I've been able to save pumpkins, watermelons, lettuce seedlings, and more. And I've been telling others about your garden saving idea.🙂
These are the smartest, inventive tips for being a better gardener and seed grower. Bravo!
Oh my goodness what an idea! I never would have thought of using tulle to cover my little fruit trees and different things in my yard. Thank you so much you give me so many good ideas so your videos. Keep up the good work.
Great idea!!! I'm going to start my garden in tears! I'm so excited! Thank you for your videos!!!
Happy Gardening, Thank you!
Great idea for the tote lids, Robbie, also might offer some protection from this relentless heat in Cen Cal. You have given me an idea for lining the beds of my above ground gardens too, would be worth a try against gophers and much cheaper than chicken wire. Love your little puppy at the end of the video with her tulle bow. Have a great day.
Your little precious is so beautiful with her tulle bow 🌹
I put branches over my tub to keep the cats out. Now I will ziptie some tulle to the cutout lid instead. Thanks for the tip. 😊
Kim Peters ...I do that too with some beds. A few neighbors cats get into garden and do their business. I've spent money on plastic cage trellis as well. I will definitely try tulle on the top instead of branches and fine netting.
Ballerina skirts and skating costumes too! Don't be afraid to look for those in 2nd hand to stores! But they'll be expensive there, since skating costumes are just plain expensive, no matter where you find them!
Iii
gayedawn1 has always made you love the game but I don’t
Love how your growing food in everything. Thanks for sharing the link, I just ordered some. The price is really the lowest from doing my research, you get a discount the more you order and free shipping. Awesome deal. Thanks
Yes, I usually pick up 4, I keep buying, but I have so much as I use really so little compared to what you get, 40 YARDS, LOL, thanks
My goal in life is to have a garden like that someday! You're so crafty and it's amazing
I'd use to watching you a year ago,then just didn't see you on FACEBOOK anymore I am glad you back on again. ❤❤❤❤
WOW!!!!!.....You have yourself a new subscriber! 😘
Welcome aboard! Thanks!!!
Brilliant! Bravo! 👏
So cool about the tulle! You have inspired me, I have a million birds, squirrels, rabbits, mice, a cat, and many other critters and gave up till I saw this video. Friends for life, Robbie..
Best pest contriol idea I saw this video a day toolste!Hubby put up chicken wire, but i will be adding Tulle* too!Thank you, Thank you!Thank you, oh and did I say Thank you? "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope & Mark!
Let me check....oh yes, you did say "thank you" LOL!!!!! Have fun in the garden, 'Thank you' and take care, Robbie
Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️, my carrots were not growing, so I put tulle around my garden box and the carrots are happy now!
❤!!!👍 in SC. I’m growing plants to engage my mother 83. She is so excited to sit on her porch now. I am setting up bird feeders, hummingbirds feeders, and working on the water ideas now. Thanks!!$!!❤
I am so glad that your video popped up on my phone today. I ordered 2 bats of thule. Plus looking at your tubs for container gardens. I have all my tubs in my shed, not being used. I love the cinderblocks too. Instead of building a new greenhouse, I am going to plant all my lettuce in my driveway and cover them with the thule open lid frame. Great ideas! Thank you!
Thank you for the wonderful information! I love your video very much.
Perfect! I hope it works on slugs too! I have been trying to keep squirrels of my feeders and chipmunks out of my garden. You rock!
The feeder is a good idea. I have 1 squirrel that likes to bury acorns in my flower pots. I have a birds nest in 1 of my favorite hanging flower pots. Also, 1 baby rabbit is living under my house and my outside building. I live in the country. A lot of animals around.
You are absolutely astonishing! I would totally love to have a friend like you! So interesting and innovative!
Wow, thank you!
So glad to have found you Robbie 🙏 Amazing tips for sure. Already made the solar powered bird bath (from the hummingbird videos! Love all of your tips as it shows gardening does not have to be expensive at all...may be we need to buy only the things we absolutely cannot make on our own. Thank you so much.
Look at your gorgeous basil….wow.
Thanks😊
great idea. For flowering plants i recommend garden nets with big holes - so that the pollinators and butterflies can get through.
The tulle is for really non-pollinated plants, to protect seeds or vegetables. Big Holes can hurt birds, I have another video on that very topic coming out later this week, thanks, Robbie
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I can imagine it could be problematic for small birds. In my allotment I've never seen small birds coming around, just the big ones like crows, or wild ducks. I guess it depends on the place and type of garden, type of plant - I will pay better attention to it next time.
I'm starting to grow my garden in 2 weeks, end of March. Can't wait!!! Let's hope for a good sunny and moisty summer. Wish you all a good harvest!
Robbie & Gary. You guys are awesome. Robbie, I adore you and your quick and practical gardening tips, along with the tips for the incredible hummingbirds. You're great!
The tulle fabric on cut-out lid for seed starting is so fantastic. I am going to give it a try for my second planting ! thank you for saving me money and making me feel like a re-use champ...
LOL, the last time I used the word 'tulle' was while teaching Emily Dickinson's 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death' and now, I know how to use tulle - Thank you!
Brilliant! So glad I found your video. I'm totally building one today for my winter veggies 💕
Thank you so much for this great idea! Well several great ideas actually using tulle. I've been at odds with the bazillion squirrels, chipmunks and birds not to mention slugs and this will help with all of them. Just ordered 3 apple green and 1 fuchsia! Thanks for saving my garden!!! ~Tracy :-)
You discovered and gave away my 40yr garden secret. I love using this for my tomato plants, protection on berry bushes, and as slings for heavy produce.
Why keep it a secret? I'm sure many people could have benefited from it over those many years! Glad Robbie shared!
Million Thankyous Robbie as the clothes pegs idea for th netting ,just what I need.💖
