- So in our new house, we have a very small backyard with no existing garden, so I made use of some styrofoam boxes and started a cheap and productive container garden using them.

Honestly dude,I'm soo happy to see young people like you growing veg! Keep it up!
An aquarium store always has them for free. The fish comes in bags in these coolers and they dont smell fishy. Great for outdoor cat houses also
Haha I love the haircut quarter way through the video.
Gardening on the cheap!! I love it !!
Cheers! Have a good one 👍
I love everything about your ideas, my friend. I shall start the same but tomorrow, I shall cut the fish boxes each one into two parts, then, start my garden in spaceless spaces.
Welcome to my house to be a garden master. I'm always single all alone. 🤝💛🙏 NE🇮🇳
Awesome, now I know where I am growing my veggies... old food storage boxes
Very nice vegetables production idea provided by keep it up God bless you.
I love what you did, it looks very neat! Question did you have a sudden urge to get a haircut while doing the video? I had to rewind to make sure I wasn't having vision issues. :)
Thanks. Yeah I did hahah, I think I tried to get it all filmed in the morning but didn't end up getting it done in time haha. Cheers & have a good one!
Haha, I did the same thing, rewinding a couple times.
I put my first stage of 1-2 weeks growth in unused pots and then pulled out some styrofoam boxes and am readying them for 2nd stage of the plants growth , i planted radish , 2 bean varieties and then a tamarind sapling and some chilli saplings, i am regularly watering the seeds and saplings, this is my first time gardening so i am really excited and wanna do more gardening as well in the coming year.
Sounds great Tharani! Hope its going well
@@JacobsBackyardGardening yeah it's good , i seperately sowed another batch directly in styrofoam boxes, and they are doing well too.
I didn't know others do it too😀 I have been growing all my herbs like this for many many years now!
Yeah its a great way to recycle, cheers & have a good one!
Many thanks. Very useful and practical
No worries Francine, glad you got something out of it!
Great Video
Very nice video, Jacob. Very resourceful. Have a lovely day. Catherine
Thanks Catherine! 😊 Have a good one 👍
Thanks for the video man it's very helpful.. I was worried that these foam boxes are not safe for planting and I was searching for infos and I saw your video and I'm like oh yes I'm not alone😁💝.. CHEERS MATE..
No worries Loelu, hope it goes well for you. Cheers
Is it save to use them for edible garden? I have styrofoam boxes in my garage too but i'm not sure to use it as a raised bed for growing vegges
Thanks mate just subscribed. Could of hit the like button a few times. About to get my foam boxes out and do something similar. Surprised you don’t have more subs. Keep it up 👍
2000th subscriber great videos keep doing what you do
Hey awesome! Cheers & have a good one!
Superb 👍👍👍
does styrofoam leach any toxins?
You're so amazing 👍👍👏
Thanks Aibi!
Hi..I took free foam boxes from Pack n Save for my seedlings and cuttings. It's look dirty by time. Now I took the new lot to replace them. The question is how to get rid or destroy the old foam boxes.
Looks neat and good....
Yeah they fit in neatly, cheers & have a good one!
Thank you for inspiring me. I am also growing vegetables in containers. I am also uploading agriculture related vlogs. Godbless
Did you add potash and sulfur to the potting mix ?
Great Information mate. Are you from Australia ? Did you buy these trace elements from Bunnings ? What other fertilizers did you use ?
great video
Cheers!
thanks bro
Did this thermocol won't destroy/pollute the soil?
Over time it degrades due to the UV light form the sun, but I only use them for a few growing seasons. Haven't really looked into it a lot but as far as I know it won't affect the soil by much at all. Cheers
Can you grow greens in that container?
Brilliant
Cheers! 😊
Good video
Cheers
Where can buy foam boxes , friend ?
I am trying to prepare a little box garden on my balcony but I am still unsure how many space the plants need. For example the pak choi you planted - is that enough space for them when they are planted in a box with so many other plants?
Thank you and greetings from Germany :)
Hi Viviana, the pak choi I planted was a denser planting, so growth/maturity can be a bit slower. So for a styrofoam box like that could still easily fit 4-5 plants in there without compromising the growth of other plants.
And with regards to knowing how much space between plants, it really depends on what plants you want to grow. It can all easily be looked up online but I'm more than happy to help you out if you have any specific questions about it
Hope that helps you out Viviana, cheers and have a good one!
Garden soil $2/bag is just fine.
HII....FROM INDIA. NICE VIDEO BRO
Thanks!
Well done Jacob, does the polystyrene deteriorate after a short time ? :)
Can i grow Mint plant in Styrofoam boxes?????
Yes you can, but it likes to spread, so plant it in its own box, it also needs plenty of water. Good luck!
Good to see you back! What’s the growing like during you’re fall and winter? (I live in Southern California)
Cheers Enrique! Its cold and wet, so we usually grow brassicas and leafy greens. Cheers & have a good one
I'm trying to figure out how to grow veggies in a way that the local critters can't get to them. Any ideas? I have, at least, four woodchucks (groundhogs) and some deer that come by for snacks.
Oooh yeah thats a bit of a pain. We don't have them her in Australia but for the deer growing them in a greenhouse or closed off area might work. For the woodchucks you'd probably want to have a raised garden with a solid base underneath!
JacobsBackyardGardening They'd climb it and then, there are the raccoons..... Oh well, I guess that's the way it is. I'm planning to try some hanging planters. Wish me luck!! Thanks!!
Ah yeah it makes it pretty difficult then.
Hanging containers would be great! You can grow all sorts in hanging pots!
Hm and size
Does there have to be holes in the bottom? I live in a second story apartment and am unsure of how to make sure my balcony floor is protected, as well as all the car ports bellow!
You'd just have to be aware of how often you water, how much water would be in the bottom, how much water the plants need ect... just to avoid water rot. Otherwise you could possibly find trays to sit them on, or just make your own using black plastic. Hope that helps you a bit, cheers Elizabeth
How much compost and trace elements do you use?
For something like this using as much compost as possible is ideal, and for trace elements I just went with the recommendation (per square metre). Cheers Amber, hope that helps you out! Have a good one
Hi what are the trace elements you add please?
Its a general trace element mix, so it contains things like zinc, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, sulfur, boron, molybdenum and a couple other elements. But they're the main ones. Hope that's what you were after Maite, cheers!
Cute boy with cute ideas
Here in US those boxes are not cheap and never free (((
Check with pharmacies.
Why aren’t you on Instagram ?
I am, @jacobsbackyardgardening. Cheers & have a good one
Whats the ratio for soil, org matter etc?
Most of it will be organic matter because its mainly potting mix, which is technically not a soil so it will all break down eventually. But its probably around a 1:10 ratio (as a rough guess). Hope that helps, cheers & have a good one
If you have chooks though, better not use styrofoam boxes as they like to eat them.
Styrofoam box is safe for garden?
Yeah they're fine, cheers and have a good one!
