That was one of the BEST urban gardens I've ever seen, precisely because it was so small. Most urban gardens I've seen are either bigger or don't use the space as efficiently. I'm WAY impressed, Luay! What an inspiring YouTube post, Rob. Please keep this series going!!!!

[kaidrewry]

Nice ... I love how it combines environmental protection, fun, physical activity and increases independance! A win win situation.

[StephanieJoRountree]

He's doing an excellent job! Inspiring for sure!

Nice job, you got the gift .
Very nice set up too.
I am also quite impressed with your videos, one of the best I've come across .
Your voice is pleasent easy to follow relaxed and educational .
I'm a master gardener 47 years experience and I still learned .
I had always had more than enough for a small family business w stand and greenhouse . Of course I composted a 5 bin system .
Well I moved to the city when the kids left home . I started talking over the sidewalks and any spot w dirt .
I have a 4 by 10 ft compost, leaded soil and plenty of other challenges . Guerilla gardening is not for everyone . Then I found the black grow bags . Oh boy l have 100 of them filled and planted, the company next door gave me a much a I wanted loam and composted bark mulch .. heaven with my pick ax in hand .
I need urban feedback .. hose hooked to my bathroom shower out window .. I manage lead with deep rooted plant, keeping soil ph around 5.4 and mulching .. I don't use on what I eat . And don't compost tree leaves .
Testing shows I'm winning the war .. want to start a urban doorway service . Please help

I'm putting my totes in a row like you did in an empty area I didn't notice before. Thank you for an inspiring video.

Living in Montreal Canada this is perfect for me! Thx 😊

Good job... We can do this!! Even if everyone just grows 10-25% of their diet it will have a HUGE impact!!!

This video makes me happy and just goes to show that you don't really need a lot of space to make growing food at home a reality! Great set-up and looking forward to seeing more of these videos :) Thanks Rob as always for never disappointing with your content.

Thank you Luay for the tour of your fabulous productive and beautiful garden. Well done. This must be a joy to wake up to and go and pick your food.

Making me even more excited for my little garden. ❤ from a Jamaican vlogger 👋

[jewelrussell]

Hi Rob, very worthwhile video. Would like to see more videos with this video. Thank you

[infinite]

Such an impressive small though abundant garden you've grown.

[KnowYourProduce]

You have a great space! Pretty comparable to my backyard space in NJ. Love this setup!

Nice! I expanded my urban garden from 400 to 600 sq ft last fall, using cardboard/compost no-dig method. I'm in NB. Also have 20 growbags and 4 raised beds. Always looking for ideas and tips! I'm envious of your peach tree! A bit too cold here, I have apple and pear trees though. The silver lining in these terrible times is that a lot of people turned to gardening.

[pierre-loupdurand]

Hey Rob, I am really excited for this series, it is a great idea to start showing home gardeners and urban homesteads to inspire people to start growing on their own.

[oliviaj]

Awesome ! Getting so many ideas for when I leave home :) Going to try grow some herbs and quick foods inside when I go to uni.

[dellahful]

Thank you so much. I have a small backyard and I'm so looking forward to doing what you've done. 🇨🇦
