I’ve decided to grow my own patio vegetable and fruit garden. My patio is not very large but with the right amount of planning I should be able to get a rather nice harvest. This video will be the first in a series of videos that will follow my progress as well as the progress of my plants. In theory, I should have some food in about 30,40, 50 days from now 😉

hi,
like the watering system, i will use that in my containers here in the uk
thanks for letting me know – best of luck with your garden!
Wow. Your idea is awesome. I will definitely do it your way. It looks very simple, and sophisicated. I like it.
thanks so much. good luck =)
Thank you for sharing. You don't think bpa would leak out the plastic and do something weird to the soil do you?
Just what I needed, thanks for this video. Time to work on my organic balcony project.
glad you liked it. good luck!
MiracleGro organic soil?? First mistake my friend. Monsanto doesn't do "organic" anything.
That "garden soil" is for in-ground use, as it says on the bags. It specifically says on the bag NOT to use it in containers! I know, because I made the mistake of buying it for pots, and then read the bag warning. It is for digging into existing soil, to amend it for growing.
haha yeah I figured that out some time later =-)
It's easy to do, as I said I did it too! It says "Garden Soil" and "for vegetables." What else are you supposed to think?
Who reads instructions? I like your planters a lot!
Thanks =-)
Great idea to use a large tub as a container for gardening. I didnt even think about that :0)
I am so glad I found your video! My little patio is almost EXACTLY the same size as yours and I have been trying to find ideas to best maximize the space I have. I will definitely be making a run to Walmart for plastic storage tubs. Love your irrigation system as well
Glad you liked the video. Just be aware that the plastic bins don't hold up well under the sun. They will eventually dry out and crack.
Great video.. I especially like your watering idea. Thanks for the ideas…
Thanks for the feedback =-)
They told me at Home Depot if you plant in containers u have to use potting soil not gardening soil
I live in Hawaii so what kind of bucket would you suggest. I saw where you told a viewer the plastic container doesn't hold up well in the sun.
Maybe something made of wood =-)
The holes in your PVCs didn't get clogged up?
no.. not too bad
Just what i was looking for, a very informative and fantastic video!!!! Thanks.
Nice watering and trellis solution. Strangely my apartment is balcony-less, but I'm still going to plant herbs in a container. Good video.
Thanks for watching and good luck with the herbs =-P
Okay, probably a dumb question… but wondering, why can't you just water the plants and let the water absorb into the roots from the top? Is the white piping thing necessary? Thanks so much and thanks for making this video. DIY is the best.
Not a dumb question at all. Firstly I do add water from the top like most people, the pipe is just a backup to get the water deeper =-) Happy growing.
Hey Brian…thanks for the videos. this is really giving me some helpful ideas. Hope your well and thanks again.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Happy growing =-P
Weird looks like my apt in conyers
This guys a walmart nigga
gotta love walmart..it has everything. Thanks for the info!
Nice job, I'm plan to do my own. How did your veggies come out?
Thanks for looking, and happy planting =-)
I ended up getting a bit overcrowded and some sort of bug ate too much haha
So creative. Thank you.
Thanks. Happy gardening =D
Nice video! I live on a very sunny island, called Bonaire. I also do container gardening and squarefoot gardening! I use those plastic boxes, even if the sun comes trough the box. I grow sald
I wasn't finished hihi. I grow salad in it. It grows very good!
those plastic container do not work its gonna crak and break if u use it outdoor 🙁 from the sun 🙂 u need to use more heavy duty container for outdoor uses that wont break or crack from the sun uv like the concrete mix tub is perfect 🙂 it just fat and short only so u have one cute chubby container 🙂
Did watering the plants that way really work? Easiest way I have seen so far.
Where are the updated videos? I wanna see how this worked out
I hope you get some sun there?
Love your idea I can't wait to make my own. Let see how your plants look.
do you need to make the wall right away couldn't you wait till the tomatoes or whatever grew taller?
Great video. I would never use plastic containers for vegetable garden though. There are so many chemicals in plastic.
Did the pipes work? I always thought of doing it, but not sure if will be a success?
Smart idea
thankyou sir.lovely video explanation!
