I just wanted to tell you that your video really inspired me. I used to be an avid gardener until I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am very happy to say that I'm in remission now. Depression seemed to get the best of me, and I started looking for videos on container gardening. I feel so blessed that I found yours. So may God bless and prosper you in all that you do.

@kirkb2596 5 лет назад

Last summer, I grew summer squash/zucchini in 7-gal grow bags. It started out great but in mid summer it was like the potting mix was depleted of organic material and never really produced well. I tried fertilizer and lime but large vegetables are more suitable for in-ground planting. Tomato plants did OK in the same grow bags and soil. I also grow hot peppers in 3-gal grow bags, and those plants produce like crazy.

@elainelangeles4099 4 года назад

I really love container gardening, I used to have a home garden before way back 2013 mostly vertical garden, and all now were gone.. I want to plant again and start from scratch. Thank you for your video

Given what's happening in the world...everybody should start some form of a garden....i have a yard with very little sunlight,i live in the UK i'm used to it...so containers it will have to be and vertical as well.Looking to grow vegetables,some fruits and some herbs....thankyou for this video it's very helpful

@ms.anonymousinformer242 3 года назад

When we were in lime at the home garden store, there were many people in line with us, who were purchasing the same things. Two orher people were making raised beds gardens too, and had the same supplies I had for the raised beds I just did today.

@smilingheidi718 7 лет назад

I found that putting wood chips in the bottom 1/3 of bags keeps excess water away from soil, retains water for dryer days, gives air to roots if they get that long, and since wood chips are free... less cost since less purchased potting soil is required. FYI Baby worms do find their way into bags if left on ground, which is also a benefit. I also throw in some kitchen scraps in the wood chip layer because it will decompose without requiring it to sit somewhere else first.

@litestreamer 6 лет назад

Smiling, comments like yours are why I read comments! Thanks for the tip.

@pthaloblue100 5 лет назад

Interesting idea, I had trouble with keeping the soil in my fabric containers from drying out too much in the middle of summer heat. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

@emilym155 5 лет назад

Where do you get wood chips for free 😭

@LeighPogue 5 лет назад

Meara Rose ...call come of your local tree removal experts. They are usually glad to give you the chips as it keeps them from having to take to a place such as the dump, in order to get rid of them. Happy gardening.

Those Smart Pots are pretty sweet, Kim, and I'm happy to see you promoting container gardening. It's such a great way for everyone to grow their own food whether you have a huge yard or tiny balcony. It's also great for people with limited mobility or those who can't physically maintain in-ground or raised bed gardens . Your garden is beautiful. I've been growing in Earthboxes, whiskey barrels and 5-gallon buckets for years with great success. After seeing this I may need to add Smart Pots to my collection. :)

@cactuswren9771 6 лет назад

TX Kim. I live in the deep Mojave Desert in SoCal. Out here I find growing in pots is necessary, but a BIG challenge because the pot gets too hot in the 110o+ air temps even in the shade and fries the roots. This year I experimented with wrapping a towel around the pot to completely shade it like a turban! I can also wet the towel to cool it like an evaporative swamp cooler if necessary in the extreme heat. IT WORKED!! Thought I'd share what I learned. We're all surviving here! :))

@cristinalee6606 5 лет назад

Rhyannon Lallatin wow a wet towel around the pot ?

@sbigham9781 5 лет назад

If possible you might want to consider growing in the ground so you can improve the soil with organic matter and a heavy mulch to survive those days

Such an awesome video. Switched to bags after watching this. They're so much easier to store, lighter to move and my plants seem happy - most of all I seem to have solved my "overwatering problem" too.

@Stanly450 5 лет назад

Such a warm personality you got there. The way you speak is very encouraging

@mothepeon 7 лет назад

Hello Kim, thanks for a great video. Air pruning happens in these containers because when the root hits the side of the fabric, it dries and dies off instead of turning around and forming a ball like in plastic containers. This promotes the constant production of healthier roots instead of choking the container. Cheers

@richardmiesell4785 6 лет назад

If you grow any trees in containers then what you say is even more true. In plastic containers the roots will circle around. This is called girdleling. But with a fabric/air container the roots will end and then put out lateral fibrous roots, that will enable the tree to take in all the nutrients and water needed just so long as the soil gets enough rainfall or supplemental watering.

@elisaatsignet184 5 лет назад

Love your videos! I'm inspired. I have about twenty veggies started (mostly in fabric pots). We'll see what works and what doesn't. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

I wish I had seen this video before I began gardening. There was so much useful information for me to be successful on my next garden. This was my 1st year, and I wanted to see if I could keep my veggie plants alive. I conquered that. So now I want to go even further. Thanks so much for your videos and the amount of information. You're awesome!!

Your garden looks great. I wish that I could the same but I can't since I'm in a wheelchair. I do have lots of veggies and some fruits. I also have 2 avocado. I just ask my family to get them for me. Great video.

I've been growing in containers for years. Never had much success with Smart Pots. They tend to fall apart after about 1 or 2 seasons. The handles also deteriorate and eventually make it difficult to move them around. Had much better success with self watering containers fed with a drip or float system. Also found that Azomite, Epsom Salts and Mycorrhizae are beneficial to container grown veggies and fruits. Produced some amazing corn last year.

I also use the soft pots. I'm also going to start sweet potatoes for the first time in pots,lol, fingers crossed on that one. :)

I put 3 tomatoes in a small pot and when the roots came out I put a bigger pot under the tomatoes. Here we use gates in the balcony and the doorway and I decided to put them in my balcony and let it go over the gate and it started to go down the gate. This was a experiment but it worked great. Since I'm in a wheelchair now I don't have to get some to one get my tomatoes I just put my hand through the gate and pick them myself. June will be a year and it gave me all year round since we live in the Caribbeans. .
