nice Great work simplistic and effective

I made one 4 years ago...they work GREAT!!!!

@gianni.santi. 2 года назад

Hey there! How are your harvests? What are the pros and cons?

@tonybucca5667 2 года назад

@@gianni.santi. I have been using mine every year. I built a HEAVY DUTY cart so I can rotate different sides to the sun. I've had to empty the barrels a couple of times to clear out root structures, and amend the soil. I made 4 gallons of sauce from ONE Roma tomato plant that was plugged in at the top, surrounded by onions and basil...plus peppers and lettuces that I had growing in the lower holes. 30 plants in a 4 foot square footprint? NOT BAD!

After 5 years they are working and holding up perfectly. It was a great project

@AndrewMcclurePalau 4 года назад

Great video and ideas... please post an update video. How well did it work? Would you make any improvements?

@bikinggal1 Год назад

so amazing!! Smart guy!

@CreativeIntegrity Год назад

Thank you so much! I am working on new projects that hopefully will be well received. Did not get a chance to do very much this year and looking forward to new content for you all.

@BOVANATOR 4 месяца назад

New subscriber! I love this system! Can you link in the descriptions where you bought all the materials? (Barrel, pipe, and anything else you used)? I really want to duplicate this exact setup with the food grade plastic! TIA!

@CreativeIntegrity 4 месяца назад

Thank you for your reply. I mentioned in previously what part and that the plumbing supplies were purchased at Home Depot. The drums I got used from a local supplier. I believe these are already good grade products. You can get new drum at uline.ca if you are in Canada. Good luck with your project. My next adventure this year will be solar powered tower gardens

@tonybucca5667 3 месяца назад

I sure hope your deck is REAL strong with all that weight...NO WAY 10 barrels on a deck!

@CreativeIntegrity 3 месяца назад

Yes they are actually in the area that has incredible support from all the small rooms and closets underneath. Soon i will be switching to hydroponic garden towers as my next experiment. These drums have been outstanding and will continue a long service life in our community gardens.

@pinkaviators8099 4 года назад

Your barrels are awesome! Thanks for the video. I’ve been wanting to build one of these for a while but I’m still not sure how to build the worm farm in the center. Your worm farm design is my favorite. Can you make another video going into detail on it? Thanks!

@CreativeIntegrity 4 года назад

Chug Nos hello and thank you for the comment. I plan on making more of these and will go into more details. PS what extra details would you like to see?

@pinkaviators8099 4 года назад

@@CreativeIntegrity Such as how you installed the pipe into the barrel. Did you screw the cap just into the plastic, or reinforce it somehow? What are the results, and is there anything you would have done differently? Thanks!

@Wenefreda 3 года назад

@@CreativeIntegrity I am seeking the same information. As I made one and need to redo the bottom to hold the pipe.

@CreativeIntegrity 3 года назад

@@Wenefreda in the next few weeks I will be making a video of me cleaning out last years composting and will make sure to do a detailed explanation of the system. Should be interesting as it will be my first time doing this with these barrels.

@ggilbert548 4 месяца назад

So sorry, I know this is an older video but im curious. I've watched some people put in the pvc pipe and some who dont. No one really seems to go into detail about if its actually needed or not. Ive gotten the idea that its for dropping compost down and i guess to remove the rich soil your worms make? Is the tube in place to also enrich your soil and save you from dumping the barrel? Thanks for the great video! I'm in the middle of making one for myself!

@bondalou 2 года назад

Question about your container. I have tried to purchase the poly containers from my recycling center and they were very concerned about me using them for planting edible crops. They said they couldn't guarantee that they have no contaminants in the plastic. Do you have any tips on making sure the barrels aren't toxic besides taking someone's word? Even getting them from marketplace can be risky. And of course, new food grade containers would outrageously expensive. I wonder if there is a test or something that can be done on the inside plastic? I love your work and thank you for sharing!

@CreativeIntegrity 2 года назад

Its important to source out the right used barrels. I was fortunate to get mine that had been used for detergents and or washer fluid. The person I got them from also power washes them before selling. As far as contamination I appreciate the concern as it is very real. That being said I do think contamination comes in many forms including the food we buy at the stores that are loaded with pesticides and ingested directly. its a matter of picking the better of the 2 scenarios. In my opinion keep looking for barrels that suite your goals. Hope this helps

@Arnickification 2 года назад

You can find good grade barrels. Most food plants get there ingredients in the plastic 55 gallon drums.

@billedmonds1381 2 года назад

Not sure where you are but I am curious whether the worms overwinter OK in these barrels. In the process of building one of these and am concerned for the health of the worms. We live in Southwest Idaho and it can get plenty cold in winter. Will they survive or should I plan on replacing every spring? Thanks.

@CreativeIntegrity Год назад

We are in Victoria BC and the worms are fine all winter even in my worm composting bins. Great question thank you.

@kevintuckey4970 3 месяца назад

What is your spacing in row and between rows

@desotopete 2 года назад

I made something similar. I admit yours are better. What I found was that they were just too heavy to rotate so there was always a shady side were the plants didn't receive much sun. Also. It seemed to take a LOT of water. How is your system working out?

@tonybucca5667 2 года назад

I built a HEAVY DUTY cart for mine that I rotate every other day. I added a spigot at the bottom of mine that catches the drainage water into a bucket, and use that the next day!

@CreativeIntegrity Год назад

It’s actually ok as I usually plant shade happy plants on the other side. You could also like the other reply you got put it on a wheel cart. I did not find it necessary. Also if you have a white background it helps a lot!

@Mr501davis 4 года назад

This is epic as a design. Only thing I would change is the first time I water. I probably wouldn't use the cotton filter. Pain in the ass to put the filter in again.might be redundant but I would be more concerned about drainage not blocking up in the future.

@orgbluewater 2 года назад

brilliant . ask how much substrate you used to fill the 200 liter barrel

@DM-sc4zy 3 года назад

Depending on where you are (good for near equatorial areas), plants on the opposite side may get shaded and not getting enough sunlight.

@CreativeIntegrity 3 года назад

Thank you for your input. These are great for growing food anywhere you can grow plants In regards to sunshine it is important to consider the sun rises in the East and sets in the West and in that time frame will cover most of that area of the drum. My preference is to put shade liking plants on the North side.

@tonybucca5667 2 года назад

I built a HEAVY DUTY cart for mine that I rotate every other day. I added a spigot at the bottom to catch the water from my drip hose at the top. I catch the water in a bucket, and use it the next day!

@HectorPerez-tb8hn 3 года назад

a 6" pipe is the best way to go if you have a 55gal drum !!

@collowood 3 года назад

Hi for five gallon bucket how wide the pvc pipe?

@HectorPerez-tb8hn 3 года назад

@@collowood 2 inch should do, I believe that the rules is to have enough ventilation that will cover every other ft. For a 1 gal bucket a 2 inch should be more than adequate.

@HectorPerez-tb8hn 3 года назад

@@collowood for example I do have a 6' in diameter and 4' tall gardening area, so instead of using 1 6' conduit, I will rather use 4ea by 4" in diameter conduits, keep in mind that all we want to create is ventilation and also give the worms easier access to the left over food etc.

@humbertoa8019 3 года назад

Hi, Have you had a problem with compost obstructing the thread of that flange closure? Thank you!

@CreativeIntegrity 3 года назад

I found that roots actually made it into the composting area which I found pretty cool. The screw on cap had very little to no dirt issues and honestly I would just use a hose to clean the area to avoid any concerns. As for the parts I made this video in the same playlist and hope this helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pxd1Ltvedm8.html

Great build, could you tell the diameter of the wine bottle?

@DenvyLarson 3 года назад

Wine bottles are 3 1/4 inches in diameter. I used a sparkling soda bottle that cost 1.89 and that is less than most wine bottles.

@@DenvyLarson excellent! We just love wine so we had plenty lol.

@mariangie1544 4 года назад

I am making one right now. I am stuck because of the composting tube. I can only find 4 inch pvc. What are you using for yours? Love the idea for the base. Thanks

@DenvyLarson 3 года назад

You might check your local restore, they get alot of large and small pipes that can be used. I found a 6 inch heavy tube, drilled holes and it works great.

@buffalo369 2 года назад

Under the sun, will the metal barrel be piping hot ? 🤪

@CreativeIntegrity Год назад

I think yes they would and actually recommend painting white to solve this issue and to create light reflection to help plants and not cook them in the heat. That being said I am thinking as the plants grown they will shade a dark metal barrel system. I think metal would be harder to form into planters though and look forward to someone doing it that way and post a comment here.

@adventuresofjongraunke3566 9 месяцев назад

How have these done for you? Any issues or things you would do differently?

@andychavez 4 года назад

where did you get that "outlet" that you have under the bins? thanks.

@DenvyLarson 3 года назад

That is not my barrel, I used a 6 inch tube, from restore for 2 dollars, had to cut off 18 inches and drill holes. Under the tube, I used a plastic nut jar from costco, cut the bottom off and put it in upside down so the lid screws off to release the worm casting, kitchen scraps when they are decomposed. You can use whatever you can find. Buying an RV cap can be spendy.

In how many days does lettuce grow in this system?

@CreativeIntegrity Год назад

This is an outdoor system, so let us growth will be dependent on how much sunlight and daylight you get in your region. That being said, the quality and nutrition in your soil will also be a factor. Sorry I can’t give you a direct answer.
