I’m not in a small space but decided to give gardening a shot using grow bags and containers and I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for the tips!

Wow I didn’t even think about using grow bags as migrating pollinators in the garden, GENIUS 😍

[Nohoana]

Thanks for talking about the marigolds. My grandmother grew them every where in her garden. She said they kept the pests away.

I have 10 gallon grow bags with okra in it, I put extra large (to fit) plastic flower pot saucers under them to wick the water up then I place them on 24 x 24 cement stepping stones to keep the weed eater from whacking a hole in the side from carelessness, very neat and organized looking. Now putting out brussel sprouts and cabbage out, same technique.

I'm working on a very low ( preferably free) gardening budget right now so I was looking for the best containers for my garden. And then my dog food company gave me a tiny bit of inspiration by suggesting using the food bags I was already buying as grow bags when they are empty! Genius! Couple holes in the bottom and a few on the sides to allow for water to drain and it seems to be working. Sure they don't look very snazzy but I'm more focused on learning to grow right now anyways. So far I've succeeded in potatoes, and and currently growing some kale, pak choy and radishes. Fingers crossed!

I recently found your channel and started to garden at 70. I purchased your seeds and book and am very excited to get into my new joy - working close to the land is a joy. Your videos are concise, to the point, very informative and easy to follow. I truly enjoy them. Thank You!

Was just telling my boyfriend that I understand that grow bags air prune but I don’t really understand what all of that means. You managed to answer that question so concisely before even getting through the intro. Great video!

Grow bags have definitely made growing food more accessible to me. This is a fantastic tool for people who rent, have limited space, need to move plants inside during the winter without uprooting them, or have physical issues with being on the ground.

You have quickly become my favorite channel on youtube. I never realised how therapeutic and relaxing and fulfilling gardening is. I got into it during the pandemic and became obsessed when I saw the immense results I yielded in just a few months

[JessicaZanerealz]

If it wasn't for the pandemic I would have never gotten into gardening.

Greetings from Croatia, it is almost 2 am and I do not regret watching your awesome video rather than sleeping. Thank you for your tips!

[katiehemstreet]

I'd never heard of grow bags until I started watching this channel. I still want to build raised beds once I have a yard, but I'm super excited about planting in grow bags now.

[Mommamacnz]

I'm a renter and the current rental doesn't have a garden - which I don't mind as I don't have to keep it nice and tidy. However, thanks to Covid I no longer have a job so growing food is a must and seeing the grow bags here tells me they are probably a better option than the containers I am using. They look really versatile and movable - which really is a must for me.

This is my second year using grow bags and I love them. The are growing very popular in AZ, zone 9B. I have seven citrus trees, a guava, Moringa, pomegranates and a dwarf everbearing mulberry in bags. I had a mango, avocado, fig and another guava that fell victim to a rescue dog. I plan on adding more fruit trees and they will be in bags. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, artichokes, broccoli, beans, herbs, and strawberries in bags. I’ve had the best success when I water from below and the water wicks up through the bag. I do have to fertilize more frequently. I have a Greenstalk as well but use it mainly for lettuces and herbs. I’m enjoying your channel because I have similar goals of combining the best of the old and the new in an urban setting.

You are a voice of calm in this terrible time we are in. I appreciate you. Stay well. This was super helpful- thank you!

Hello Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. I have a Hugh pot on my patio.that I planted potatoes because they produce under the dirt then I placed a container blackberry bush in the same pot because it grows upwards.. added some marigold to keep some pests away. First year doing my own gardening, always helped others. Now I'm 63 and doing my own from watching YouTube vids.😊 I purchased a Condo (paid off) I've redone all the flower beds a rose of Sharon in each, they definitely attract bee's. A few vegetables tucked in and around as well in the flower beds and many vegetable containers. All kinds of peppers, squash, tomatoes, blackberries and potatoes. Sweet and regular. .I'm not getting any fruit off my squash yet only Flowers so I moved the squash pot and peppers around by the rose of Sharon where 3 nice size bee's have been having a good time. I Pray they pollinate my veggies as well. God Bless and Thank You
Debbie G OKC 🙏🙋🏼‍♀️

I had only grown using an in-ground garden, but this year I put in two raised beds and several grow bags because I saw them in your videos. My best yield this year came from the plants in the grow bags. Definitely relying on them more next year.

[yolandasotolopez]

I'm down the road from you in Chula Vista. This will be my first year using the grow bags... this will allow me to be able to move them around as needed. Thanks for the tips

[AndYourLittleDog]

Kind of mesmerized by the Superman curl you’ve got going on

[subtropical]

I’ve always wanted to grow vegetables but I didn’t have room for a raised bed - this seems like the perfect solution! I definitely want to give this a try
