    Great idea again! I live in the city and I can't find anywhere worms. But 3months ago when I found your channel and do the composte in place I didn't have worms too. But even without worms everything I had in my containers, kitchen scrubs etc, everything had turned into beautiful black soil!!! So I don't worry if I don't have warms. It only took 3months to have that great soil. I've done the same with my zucchinis and everything I have. It saves me a lot of money. Thank you again for your wonderful idea Robbie 🤗 God bless you 🙏🌻

      @@HaliSlots yes I know but we don't have any rain here in the city for months now and I can't afford to pay for earthworms. I have a cat too which means that if I finally can afford buying earthworms I will have to watch them or pay for getting a warm farm too etc and I certainly can't afford the cost of it...

    I just started watching ur gardening videos and am getting a lot of good ideas. I have to ask "who is ur delightful, little gardening companion? Is that Gary, LOL?" My husband passed away 11 years ago, and since then I've been "fostering failing" elderly, homeless Yorkies (the ones no one wants) and what a delight they have been. They aren't usually as hyper as younger dogs, and usually become very devoted, at least mine have. Another gardening channel I watch has a co-gardener named Tucker, but he is usually trying to dig up carrots or get ahold of cucumbers. I enjoy seeing ppl's companions.

    Just had to share. I have a bunch of aloe vera plants. I like to give them away because they're so great fo wounds and burns. Well, I'm taking care of a friend so I am not home. My husband brought me a plant where I'm staying. Consequently it had almost no soil. I decided I would pour used, wet coffee grounds in it and see what happened. Well turns out my aloe loves it. It i growing like crazy and even has sprouted babies. I learned something new.

    Just found a tote in the ditch on the side of the road last weekend...now to find some buckets! I love trying out the things you show us. Our weather has been so crazy here in zone 7 and a lot of my plants are struggling but I'm so proud to say I've grown 3 good size zucchinis after hand pollinating and they were delicious! And even though some of my other veggies are not doing so well from the extreme heat and torrential downpours, I'm not giving up. I get discouraged but then I see a few little "midnight snack" tomatoes peeking out under the leaves and I get excited all over again.

    Also in Southern California, but my soil is clay and who knows what! Last year I did quite well. Learned what I could and could not grow well with my soil. Then I made the biggest mistake ever. I used miracle grow granules you mix with water.
    Ever since I have zero earth worms. I went from seeing 3-5 when digging a new small hole to add a vegetable, to zero. I haven’t seen a worm since March and only tomatoes & zucchini will grow. I was going to tear everything out of my in ground 5x10 garden, add a bunch of kitchen scraps, shredded paper etc and wait a couple months.
    Even my raised bed had worms. So sad. Hopefully I can bring them back. Will try your method as well for the raised bed.
    Just got my solar water fountains to make the hummingbird water fountains this week. Can’t wait to try it. It’s been so hot. It will definitely be welcomed by all the birds we have here in the canyon.

    • @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy
      @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy  2 роки тому +2

      I have never used their granules, so I can not really comment on that....I do use their soil, so far so good. I do believe the worms will come back, but something made they move on, and they do not want to come back. Try this method, I know you will have great luck. Have fun making that solar fountain, I will be doing more on that very soon, Thanks

    Great system. One problem I found was that rats are digging holes in the soil tunneling under the plastic buckets to get to the worms or compost. If there is a gap in the bucket, small mice squeeze in and make a nest under the bucket to keep cool. I have to be careful in what I use as compost. Those little mice are smarter than I thought.

    I grew two pepper plants in plastic containers next to each other, and there's a big difference now between the two now.
    One container is a second hand flower pot with an drainage holes in the bottom and one is enlarged.
    The other container is a five gallon bucket that I put seven 3/8's inch holes in at an inch and a half from the bottom. After a few rains, it made lots of blossoms and started setting peppers again. The peppers on it are also sweeter and juicer.
    I have mulch on the bottom and mulch at the top of the bucket. The soil doesn't get hot.
    I've been dropping in a sprinkle of 10-10-10 with minors into the mulch every two weeks. I use as close as I can get to hardwood mulch, twigs, small branches, and shredded card board like from cereal boxes shredded in a 10 page shredder.
    Someone told me that she sets up her peppers in 5 gallon buckets with two 1/4 inch holes two inches from the bottom.
    I didn't expect to get peppers this time of year in growing zone 9.

    I can't find totes so I'm using large squarish black heavy duty flower pots - they have gone up $2 : ( Not very pretty (I love your rainbow garden) but they serve the purpose. My husband put some drainage pipes in the pots last year - he uses a plastic elbow inside the pot then puts a short piece of irrigation tube inside that and then he puts a length of hose inside that to make it snug. So with the elbows I can move the drainage pipe (turn it upside down so that it doesn't drain) when I empty the bucket underneath. Good idea about the tulle because those tubes do get bunged up - I have to go and blast some with a hose very shortly - I go pretty wet the last time I did it, not fun on a cold day.

    I don't think wild worms can survive how hot it gets in the storage planting container in North Central Florida. I'm trying the composting buckets in the planting tote, but I've had to make some changes to the system. I use mulch on top of the planting container and mix in a tiny bit of fertilizer (10-10-10 with minors) into the mulch usually before it rains.
    I may try keeping worms inside the planting container during the winter.
    This video provided very easy to understand how-to instructions.
