Your videos are the most helpful I have seen in a long time! Thank you! I grow ALL my greens. I have more than 12 fruit trees just outside my front door in what was my front yard. Now I don't have to mow, and instead get to harvest nearly every day. I have Moringa, Mango, Mulberry, Strawberry Tree, Soursop, Katook, Avocado, Turmeric, Ginger, Longevity Spinach, Strawberry, Aloe, Spearmint, Acerola Cherry, 3 kinds of Sweet Potato, Okinawan Spinach, and more in 19 large totes all in my front yard...

Then there's the back yard: Florida Peach, Loquat, 2 Orange, 1 Key Lime, 1 Myers Lemon, several Suriname Cherry, 2 Banana, Blueberry, Fig, several Pineapples, Spanish Oregano, Katook, Longevity Spinach (tons), Parsnips, Tomato, Sweet Potatoes, Strawberries, Sweet Mini Bell Peppers, Papaya, etc. All because of God and his providence! Thanks again for your great video work. It's valuable to thousands of us small spacers!

Wow, I loved this! I'm doing dense intercropping container gardening in a small space around my landlady's swimming pool and your video was really helpful.

I just started growing veg last year here in Scotland and have limited space. Your channel has given me so much info on how to grow so much more than I ever thought I could. Thank you for all of your advice. I look forward to seeing more videos.

I'd love to see more greenstalk videos. Like what to plant in each pocket that won't interfere with the others. I appreciate all your videos. It's been a huge help watching someone in close to the same climate (central Florida 9b)

This is my first year to have a garden 😊 I'm so excited!

[nrstooge]

My apartment patio is packed with containers, just enough to get through to water and tend. Currently I have seedlings all over under grow lights

[Dawnofabrightday]

I love your excellent tips! You have given me so many ideas! This is especially good in light of the upcoming food shortages! I could really use the green stalk planters!
Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us newbies!🤗

Thank you for your ideas on shade foods. We have several large oak trees so most of my yard is in shade. Also loved your use of what you have, not always going out to buy something.

The HOA in my neighborhood prohibits growing any food in the front yard, and that includes having any kind of fruit tree. Wish the legislature would change that like they did with the Florida Friendly Landscaping act which was passed about 12 years ago. That included ALL homes in Florida, including those in HOAs, so homeowners cannot be required to grow a water-thirsty lawn but can put in any kind of plants - they don't have to be Florida natives - that are more landscape/environmentally friendly, so, for instance, ground covers. They typically don't require as much fertilizer so there isn't the drainage into the water table. Also, if your HOA insists you only have sod, you can file a complaint with the state because the HOA will have broken the law. If you want any help in understanding this act, just call your local state representative's office and they'll help you! [I speak from experience!]

I plant densely for space & to just get it done bc I have three kids and I work so it works very well for us. And if needed I thin, sometimes it isn’t needed, some beets and radishes, lettuce, greens do so well densely planted 😀

[liannafiorillo]

I live in southwest Florida and these videos have taught me so much ! Thank you so much for putting this information out there, I’ve finally confidently started my container garden this spring. I need that greenstalk planter like yesterday! 😅

[jamesmayer]

As you know, I've followed you for a long time. This is such a great vid of advice for all of us. Thanks for all you do to help the community of growers in central Florida and beyond.

[whereisyourboy]

Awesome and informative, as always! So excited about this giveaway, and I can't wait for the seeds I've planted these last few weeks to start taking off!

[jenmccarthy]

Thank you for helping me get ideas on how and where to start my garden! We have a tiny apartment and any extra space, who am I kidding... we have NO extra space. 😄 thanks for the tips!! That giveaway though 😳 Amazing!!!

[imahippy]

Great information to open our eyes and see space previously unused! Two great new videos in a row….😍

[BecomingMoreSelfSufficient]

Finding you has been a game changer! I am from the North gardening is much different. I am sure I missed the give away! But wanted you to know I appreciate all you do especially having little ones. I am raising 3 grandchildren (boys) from 9-14! They eat a lot being on a fixed income & the idea of a food shortage we are trying to grow what we can! That is in between baseball & football camp will start soon.
I am rabbling love your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[BeautifulEarthJa]

I've been waiting to move into my own place to start really planting/farming but thank you
I am going to start my pots for gardening now

[karenpirone]

I have a garden planted in grow bags and a vertical planter (different brand and I would love a green stalk one!) on my patio. I have had some success as a newbie gardener and have learned so much from your videos. You are my go-to resource!

[TexJudy]

This came up in my feed just in time. I had to leave all my former life behind last year and start over. Going from gardening in a traditional way to container gardening has been a learning experience. I'm excited that Spring has come and we can get this going. I glanced at the content on your channel, and subscribed. I'll be binge watching...lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your giftaway is so awesome! I'm so looking forward to be growing enough for me and my family, but for my neighbors and friends as well. Let's get busy!

I just purchased my first greenstalk a couple of weeks ago! I can't wait to see how my plants do in it.
