    Hey, you rock, young lady! Everyone should know how to plant a garden. Big or small, it matters. I do it from my small apt & grow a few container veggies on my balcony!
    It's not only healthy, but it supplements our food supply and teaches young & old respect for nature & Mother Earth!
    Thanks for doing this video. It's valuable on so many levels!

    You did a great job ,,, thank you for staying down to earth. So many videos tell you to go out and buy , buy,, buy. Not all of us have the means to do that. I like videos like this that stay simple. It helps to remind people to use what you have and do what you can and know that that’s enough.

    If you end up with a bad quality of potting soil, you can always add your own compost. Keep all your kitchen scraps (non-meat/non-dairy), paper, leaves, egg shells, and etc, folks. They are the building blocks of good compost!

    I did this with my asparagus but i lined it with gardening fabric so that the water can drain. I also used those storage crates with the holes in them and lined with garden fabric. I love gardening... It is so relaxing to me! I am also apart of a gardening group called Black Girls Grow Gardens and they are an amazing grow, very positive and helpful! Its a sisterhood over there. Happy Gardening!

Well I found your channel and was so thrilled to figure out how to do this with my dollar tree basket, that fell apart after a few days of using it for clothes. So this is a great way to use it for something else and your idea was so great. Thank you for taking time to do this video because I already bought 5 baskets for clothes but now I have something else to use with these baskets. Thank you again.

    Great ideas! I’m just a little concerned abt using certain plastics with all the claims that are out regarding certain ones, like plastic wrap and # 1 grade coding (I think that’s the one to avoid). Do you know if the plastic used for garbage liners are food safe? I guess people would just need to do some research on which ever plastic is of interest. Really wonderful and thrifty ideas. You could also line your basket with that black weed prevention ground covering as well if you didn’t want to use plastic garbage bags and that would illuminate having to put breathing holes all throughout. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Great video!
