Robbie I have been following you with your wife for years thank you

[conniedavidson]

Hi Robbie and Gary. It's neat to see Gary doing the soil thing.

[BarbaraC]

Gary, thank you so much for the thorough explanation and examples of creating good planting soil. I've learned so much from you and Robbie and continue to learn more with every video. A sincere thank you.

[Verna-mi]

Garry, I am so glad I stumbled across Robbie's and your videos. I see absolute value in both methods. I like the easy of throwing trimmings off the plants back on top of the soil. I like the need to have a separate composted medium I can use, and I like the possibilities of making my own soil for plants of specific requirements. I am slowly implementing Robbie's method, but now I can also add your two methods (composting in a wire bay, and mixing the soils for specific requirements.). You two have helped me regain my interest in my garden. I had lost my spirit due to years of probs with government housing. Now I feel as though life is coming back to me. Thank you both. 😀

Love the camera angle from inside the tote.

Hello, Gary. Good to see you .
I've been making my own soil for years in big pots until I learned from Robbie to use totes instead. I only buy soil for succulents, roses and other non-food plants.

Howdy Gary!👋Thanks for this knowledge! Excellent video. You and Robbie do so much to help us become good gardeners without breaking the bank.
Love your garden buddy fur babies! They are cute!🐕

WOW !!! Gary your soil looks amazing, thank you so much !!

Good evening, Gary. Just wanted to let you know my Passion Flower is still doing well in her new portable trellis home. We've at least another month before our last frost...difficult to say because we had snow again yesterday.); The good thing is, I'm receiving the knowledge you & Robbie share which will help me have an abundant garden this season. I was so depressed because my spinal impairments have gotten worse. Planting in the ground just wouldn't allow me to care for the garden in a proper & loving manner. Planting a garden in totes & bakery buckets will be a godsend. Your tips are life altering for me.(:
I just found out my doctor is ill, so I won't be seeing her for another month. I'd already planned to surprise her with a bucket filled with flowers & herbs. A few of my cherry tomato seedlings are growing well. I think she might like one of those too. Take care, ~ Covah

Hi Gary good info. I remember when you started the woodchips lol I remember the guy came over with a bobcat and moved the chips around because you were running out of room and they didn't want to leave your place because they had a big job near by and it would have cost them money to dump the wood chips. lol I believe in places you had several feet thick I believe. lol But now it all paid off. Cheers

[beatriceanderson]

Hi Gary and Robbie! You both are so awesome! Thanks for all your great videos! I enjoy watching them so much!😊💖🌸🦋🐝

[melindaroth]

Oh WOW I didn't know they sold acidic stuff. Is it blueberries that need that. I can't remember. Great teaching Gary. We are still learning so much. Thank you Gary and Robbie. Love yall 💓 💗 💕

[ndlz]

Ooo!😬 I put stuff in my totes, but not fine and grainy like yours. I put twigs in bottom, then a layer of torn up brown paper, a whole
lot of kitchen food scraps, then a bit of certified organic soil, then some partially composted compost, grass clippings from the mower bag, and lastly more c.o. potting soil. I don’t have any available area to dig up my yard soil.

[Jansinspirationpts]

I love that you not only explained each step, but also actually showed the process of making soil. Thanks for the information. I believe this will help many first time gardeners! Do you also add worm castings?

[ceciliavargas]

Hi Robbie I’ve been enjoying your show for years thank you😊

[Seriouslydave]

Im glad you share your knowledge, i have worked on many different farm types, and i like picking the brains of the people who did the learning the hard way. Atleast you are passing on what you have learned for the next ones.

[AresMares_Maria]

Great video Gary ✨ It's a full guide for making our free soil! The good soil is so expensive and it's one of the reasons why many people don't garden. Cause if you don't have good soil you'll not be able to grow your food with success! And that soil tha you're making is the most organic soil with it's fertilizer! 👏 Thank you so much for the super video Gary ✨🌻

[lyndapierce]

You guys are amazing, thank you so much for all this valuable information.I now have 8 totes set up on saw horses, filled with soil ready to plant!Couldn’t have done it without you and Robbie.Also getting set up for hummingbirds! Our tiny yard is changing for the better because of the two of you.Thank you❤️❤️❤️

By the time Everyone else comes to realize, just how important y'all videos are. Your subscribers will climb to millions in a short period of time. Not only are you giving much needed information. You're giving proof of how it works. I'm in my second year and growing more healthy food using less space. And with less back breaking work. Yes, I said healthy food. Not all soil have the makeup to grow healthy food. I'm so glad I got started. Thank you both so very much.

[patkrueger]

Thank you Gary for your recipe for making your own soil. Very informational..thank you again
