How to a create pest resistant, frost protective container for vegetable gardens. This container method is best used for outdoor seed sowing and transplanting small, young, tender plants. With this container you can grow close to 2 square feet of vegetables. That's equivalent to 16 radishes and 16 short-n-sweet carrots in one container. That's a lot of food!

Haven't even heard of whatever channel people are talking about. I had thought of ysing totes, but never realized I could protect my stuff from bugs this way! Love it!

@bestgardeninggoals 4 месяца назад

Yep it works great. Another Friend recommended using screen instead of tile for more durability. I’m not sure what the price difference or sunlight diffusion would be, but I love all the extra ideas I never thought of. 💕.

@@elizabethjean3953I really love the way you've done this I have problems with my lower back and getting around having the plant boxes up on old plastic and metal chairs is a great idea! Also love your filler in your planters, it makes more sense not to have dirt all the way down to the bottom this way your recycling and interacting with the plants needs! Love the netting on the lids!!!

Are these totes BPA free? All plastics aren't food grade. That's what i would be afraid of. Other than that, its a good idea.

Excellent advice!

@tommielourogers4327 4 месяца назад

Great idea! Thank you for showing us the details. I bought a house with a large yard, thinking that I was going to put in a huge in ground vegetable garden. Then I found out that back in the 1950’s and 1960’s my neighborhood had been surrounded by factories that produced tons carcinogenic chemicals and heavy metals that blanketed everything in the neighborhood. I knew that the original owners had died which was why I had gotten a good price on the house. What I later learned was that every house has at least one person with cancer. The EPA knew about the contamination but said nothing and let hundreds of people die. The city removed all of the fruit and nut trees but never told the people why. So basically everyone has been living in what should have been a superfund site. As I started to hear stories from the old timers in the area, I got suspicious and did some research online. Turns out my area has the worst overall cancer rates in the country. Now that I know about the contamination, I can’t sell the house without disclosing the information. So I am stuck with it. Since I am already old, and in poor health, I will take my chances, but I am definitely not going to grow food on poisoned soil. So this is just what I need. Have you considered using a superglue type thing that works on plastic, instead of the staples? Seems like it might be easier for putting on the netting. You had a good idea using tulle for the netting. Much less expensive than the bird netting that the nurseries sell.

@bestgardeninggoals 4 месяца назад

That's horrible. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm thankful you found out before starting a ground vegetable garden. Be sure to check for food grade materials for whatever containers you use for your raised garden. I was not sure if a glue would hold up in the hot sun over time. I felt the staples would last longer which they have lasted a very long time. I've had the red totes for at least ten years now with no problems with the staples. The totes are finally beginning to fall apart which is another reason why I probably shouldn't try to move them anymore. The tulle has lasted better than I thought it would as well. I have not needed to replace the tulle until now due holes in a couple of the lids. This will be my first time replacing the tulle since I've had the totes so we'll see how that goes with the staples. Take care my Friend.

@laurelpeterson1307 4 месяца назад

Another idea: Sew the tulle into the shape of a pillowcase and slip it over the lid. The double thickness will work even better to keep the bugs out.

@cariwaldick4898 4 месяца назад

@@BeautifulHairProducts The heat tool is a soldering iron, and can be found in any hardware store. It's typically used to melt soft metals for wiring. I think you could also use a wood burner--which is very similar. That would be found in hardware stores as well, but also crafting stores. The wood burner comes with nibs, that can be changed. They're used for wood projects, like decorating wood with letters or designs.

They could be older than the ones in the channel they mentioned, but who knows for sure. The pictures of the red totes in my intro video are old photos I had taken when the red totes were new. Also, I did recognize in that introductory RU-vid video that I saw someone growing food in a tote on RU-vid, but I guess they didn't watch that video. LOL! I wasn't able to quote the source because it was around 2006-07. I didn't know back then that I would have my own RU-vid channel in 2024 to even be able to give that specific person credit.

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and we are in a winter weather advisory right now. it is currently 22 degrees and snowing. We are suppose to get 1-3 inches today and 3-5 inches tonight. But I'm all stocked up and cooking a turkey today to snack on so today I am going to do some RU-vid viewing! We just moved here almost 6 months ago and are looking forward to growing a big garden but it will be interesting due to hardy zone 4 and the deer that poop in our yard.

Happy Gardening!

@rachaelsupadventures 4 месяца назад

@@bestgardeninggoals It is actually not that cold we wonder if it is due to the humidity but aren't sure. It is still snowing but we have only got about an inch maybe so far. We are always well feed lol. I made homemade biscuits this money before I put the turkey in the oven. So we had breakfast biscuits with eggs cheese and sausage patties. Nice hot and fresh out of the oven! The two previous owners left a lot of things here! Including a 30 foot fifth wheel with the title on the counter and everything in it works as far as we can tell! As far as gardening goes it appears the only thing that may have been grown was indoors with some special lights. The property looks a bit neglected and we have to figure out where the most sun we be so making a tote garden makes more sense because it can be moved . Right now there are no leaves blocking the sun when it comes out so we have a while before we will know the best place to plant. We have purchased a greenhouse though. We just bought this house almost 6 months ago site unseen except for a video and pictures online. We paid $23,000 cash so we could remain debt free. It is a livable fixer upper!
