They stopped recycling in our area. A lot of the recycling is actually just going to landfills or being incinerated. If you start collecting some, they add up quickly and you can repurpose them. I like growing plants in mine. What do you do with yours?

Fantastic!!!!
I believe it’s #2, #5 & #7 that are food safe plastic.
The more we know
This obviously an awesome resuse. I have a serious question, however, regarder microplastics and psa's. Recent reports have blamed these types of take out containers for microplastics entering our bodies. There has also been mention of it happening with you reheat food in the microwave. I am wondering if this happens as well with these containers over time, and how long, many times can they be reused?
Unfortunately, that is putting a lot of microplastics in your food.
What organic fertiliser do you use ?
I grow strawberries on milk cartons on my fence, great space saver.
I reuse all sorts. It works well.
Looks awesome, I just have one question: does sediment build up in the jugs? If so should we leave it?
Amazing that is good idea, i liked and subscribed your channel ❤❤😂😂😂
Cool idea to reuse but I would be concerned about micro plastics in my food
How are you watering the plants especially the ones in the milk jug ❤
Most of these containers will go brittle and break after one or two summers. They do not UV stablize food containers.
I actually used those exact same black trays to start garlic. I know those trays very well.
I do this too, but not to the extent that I want to because I rent :(. I can’t stand how much I have to throw away
Do you live somewhere with no wind? Every one of those lids would be blown all over my backyard
Amazing ❤love it
Having used milk jug planters in gardening, be aware that if out in the sun, they rapidly get brittle and start crumbling apart. They last a season or two.
AMAZING video
Thank you for showing this , anyone with a balcony facing south can grow micro greens, and veggies and those cheap metal shelf’s from Temu . Very helpful and smart. Thank you
Is everything hydroponic? No soil used in any of those?
BRILLIANT! AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I have bear, deer, raccoon, porcupine, squirrel, mice, voles, and who-knows-what-else! I’ll try it and see what I can do to keep the critters from making their own salads! HEY! Maybe I can make a 2”x12”x6’ wooden scaffolding with rope and pulleys attached to the roof so that I can raise the plants high enough that the critters and bears can’t get them?
Why, I otter starta yooboob channel meself!
I see 🎉
I’ve started washing out any small plastic container to reuse for planting and I have to say… THEY DO ADD UP! It’s so much plastic we throw away it’s crazy when you stop to clean and wash them all… good job showing this on this video thank you 👏👏💫🌱
when you stack an inverted container on top of the other while germinating, doesn't it blow off quite easily in the breeze outside?
What about the plastics? Isn't soil better?
I could never collect that amount of plastic trays. What are you buying that comes in containers like that? In my country only microwave meals or takeout food come in plastic containers.
This is a decent idea for inexpensive growing containers but what about microplastics? Isn't this part of the issue of how microplastics are getting into our bodies through our food?
How is it cheap? Do many plastic containers….. it costs little high here in my place
Awesome 👍
Brilliant 😊
WOW
It’s showing lid on the peas so no light?
Also depends on how big your yard is to have all these nice growing areas!
Wish I knew what he was planting in water and all the other stuff too
❤love❤️
WOWZA!!! 😊
❤😮😊❤🎉paz paaaz
Micro greens
É muitas bençãos parabéns ❤❤❤
I be telling my husband that we can use
that for something 😂
Growing food in plastic is a very bad idea. Google micro plastics.
Mmmmmmmmm PFAS
Yum!
😋
I hope you don't feed that "food" to kids!
really awesome sound effects
I thought we were trying to get away from plastics? I would maybe switch to glass containers. 😮
That is beautiful. Would take me yrs to accummulate that many containers.

Very clever, thank you!
