    Hollis, I usually watch my UA-cam channels on my tv and I can "like" with my remote but cannot comment. I had to switch over to my computer so I could comment. YOU are a genius when it comes to building for a garden. Thank you because I am planning my garden and your designs are making me drool! Please keep it up.

    I just started watching your videos and subscribed to your channel a couple days ago. I was about to start growing potatoes in a 5-gallon bucket until I saw this video. How many seed potatoes do you put in the 20 gallon container? Also, I noticed in an earlier video you were wearing what looked like a fire department shirt. I was a firefighter for 20 years and also have an Asian wife; small world. I also thought of putting the panel on the back of the table to grow cucumbers. Glad you added that. Thanks for making all the videos, I am learning a lot.

    Perfect, all base's covered. I noticed you left out the center bottom rail. Did you decide it is structurally strong enough without it?
    Could you use, say, 36" small diameter bungee cords to put around the plants, or would they be too stretchy and not provide enough support. I found them online several places for about $1 each, and would be reusable for several years.
    Last, for those who's budget doesn't allow for cattle panel (or similure wire), or just building 1 or 2 of those, just us a 1 x 3 across the back? Should that be strong enough?
    Thanks again for sharing, and can't wait for what's next.

    I noticed on your sketch #1 you have (4) 4x4x8", shouldn't that be (2) 4x4x8" because the 4x4's in the back would be 4x4x48"? Just asking, not trying to upset you, I do love your prints
    that you draw out for all the sketches..

    Hello Hollis and Nancy,I been following your channel for about 2 months now so I subscribed to your channel,,I really find your channel very helpful especially on growing in containers,the one I going to try this year is your potatoes in 20 gallon tubs,I bought 6 of the blue ones you have from Lowes,I do have a couple question for you my local Lowes does not carry Black Kow is there a substitute for Black Kow I can use? I can get the Peat Moss with no issue, but I did not catch what your 3rd item is you used , can you tell me what the product is please ,Also could you tell me since I have 6 20 gallon tubs how many bags of each products would I need?...Also can you tell me how often do you water your entire garden a day and is there certain times that watering should be done? I hope to hear back from you on what I need to know,Thanks and God Bless you both and stay safe out there...

      Try to find any Cow Manure they have. Mix peat, cow manure and top soil
