Growing Jade green beans, Rocdor yellow wax beans, and Jambalaya okra in buckets using our secret container gardening soil mix for planting and growing green beans, yellow wax beans, and Jambalaya okra in raised beds, buckets and containers. The problems is, we have no secrets when it comes to gardening. Your success is our success. Today we’ll cover our container garden growing medium and the soil additives we also use in our raised bed garden. Garden boxes and containers give gardeners more control over the soil and we take advantage of that. We also use pelleted seeds to ensure good seed to soil contact which improves our germination rate. We’ll show you how to space your Jade green beans, yellow Rocdor beans, and Jambalaya okra to the correct planting depth. We also want to discuss the positive effects of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium on root crops as well as the down side of nitrogen in the soil.
Items used in this soil mix include: Potting soil, bone meal, Epsom salt, and composted chicken or cow manure. See also: Super Soil

So the okra can grow a lot in one pot ,I started 2 crimson spineless cause was afraid they wouldn't have enough room ,I think I did it wrong now
I live in an apartment I have a very small patio I don't get a lot of sun we get maybe about an hour of the afternoon sun do I have any hope of growing any type of tomatoes
Thanks for the Okra tips, Mark and Tina.
This is my first year bucket gardening. I already have 10 done but never thought to do the holes on the side of the bucket instead of the bottom. My first ones have all holes on the bottom which now I realize as fast as I put water in it's coming right back out. So no correcting that issue right now. Just gonna have to roll with it. But I've got 10 more buckets that i'm going to be setting up within the next couple of days and I think I'm definitely going to put the couple of holes on the side instead. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it. Sending you my blessings. <3
how much wicking material in the okra bucket
Thank you for sharing, can't wait to see the little sprouts. This year we are growing dragon tongue bush and rattlesnake pole beans. Maybe you could try a bucket of kohlrabi 😉😀 stay safe ❤💜💙
I can’t wait to see the bucket garden in full blume
I was wondering too if you thin the wax beans ?
Did you get the luffa gourds planted? We are going to try growing the okra again this year. We shall see 😁 Cheryl
My husband and I love eating green and wax beans. I know I’m a lone, lonely voice, but I really prefer frozen beans to canned beans. I’ve never tried growing okra. My husband’s grandmother was from Arkansas and always called it oak-ree.
I have wondered how to grow okra. Thanks for letting me know don't plant all the seeds in the 3 packets I bought. 3 different varieties
You all read my mind, because I was wondering if you could grow okra in a bucket ! I’m going to give this a try! 👍🏻 I look forward to your video each day, they are so inspiring!
Thank you. I prefer bush beans over pole beans. Kentucky Wonders are my favorite bean to plant.
We just bought all of the things we needed to start planting we won’t put anything outside permanently yet because the forecast says temperatures in the 30’s 😫 but soon. P.S. my husband built our first elevated garden bed for me, I have a very sore back and arthritis in my knees so kneeling and bending is not an option he made it out of old pallets and it turned out great, I wish I could send you a picture. Thanks for all you do to help us, Cindy
I was always taught to soak my okra seeds the day before you plant them. Did you ever do that?
Oh wow, I would never think you could grow that many okras in a 5-gallon bucket. Have you guys always done that many on one bucket? I thought I was pushing it with three in a container. lol
For Mother's Day, I want to plant my mother a bucket garden. I think it will be fun for her without being overwhelming.
How long try that on the green beans
Jade beans are my favorite! I found them by mistake, someone suggested them when I asked about pole beans. I bought them on faith and whoops! But I'll never be without them again.
I tried innoculating my bean seeds before planting this year. I'll be curious how the plants produce. I simply added some to each hole per the instructions.
👋, I have a large distaste for the little turds!
One season my X planted 24 bushes of the yellow@@*<¢©©<<
I'm loving the buckets tutorial!
I'm going grow bags this year.
In my day I had endless buckets but now it's 2 lol
Love yah
JO JO IN VT 💕 😄
I love Okra & tomatoes & onions stewed together it’s delicious 😋if you make seafood Gumbo it’s not Gumbo if it’s doesn’t have Okra
I would like to see Squash yellow and Zuccihini planted in a five galloon bucket.
Also how much wood chips did you put in the bottom of bucket 2" or half full like beans.
One more think. I was told if you put okra in freezer" then when ready to plant take out and count out the number of seed you want to use. Pour boiling water over the seed and let sit for 2 hours. Then plant.
I was told this will help them come up better. Have you heard this before? Or is it just wasting time?
Thanks so much! Great video as usual!
Thought I heard a peacock at the beginning. Haven’t tried beans in a bucket but now I want to, if I can find any seeds anywhere. Already planted all I had. Excited about this bucket series. Drilled the holes in some buckets and I’m trying tomatoes in them. No wood chips. Would coconut coir be a good subs?
Nice bucket garden. I’m looking forward to seeing it all grow. Thank y’all for sharing. God bless y’all.
Wow this bucket garden is going to be great and it looks like a complete garden.
Finally got the wood for my bucket garden. Will take pictures. More buckets arriving this week. Have you grown melons in buckets?
I ordered a dwarf variety of okra seeds called Baby Bubba. Three foot plants that produce short fat pods. Okra plants remind me of hibiscus plants.
Hi guys. My hubby went to lowe's to get my buckets & they were all sold out. I guess more & more people are liking this idea. Any suggestions?
I planted okra in a container myself I love it it's very versitel I also tried making pickled okra I had a problem with the brim I could not get it the way I liked it
I grow beets and turnips in mine cant fit to many but its enough for a meal
Sure is a good video. That sure was some good information. You got a good variety of plants in the buckets. Have a great day.
Please make a video on your jambalaya and your gumbo.
Curious to see how you will stake your beans. God bless. Love yall.
Love all that you guys are planting in the buckets! That bucket garden is going to be epic! 🤗
My momma always said to cut okra when it’s as big as your finger.
Got any secret tips for keeping slugs away? My first round of beans I planted in the ground and low beds have gotten eaten away to nothing. I've put crushed eggshells all around as much as I can, and cut the bottoms out of clear plastic cups and stuck them over my new seedlings in an attempt to protect them. I'm trying to avoid using any poisons.
I am new to gardening. How do I know when and how much to water? In buckets, raised beds and in ground. Ooo and in a greenhouse?
When I lived in Tucson, AZ I tried to have a garden. The only thing that came up was Okra and it produced like crazy!
Thanks for the tips on okra, I'm going to try a couple buckets, Love your videos
Hello Mark and Tina hope y'all are doing well. Going back and watching videos that I missed so y'all will probably see many compliments on several videos hope it's not too overwhelming. Great buckets planting, hopefully trying a few of them this year if not definitely taking notes in my book for next year thank you for all the tips and tricks. Stay safe sending prayers 🙏 and God's blessings. Much love and big tx hugs from South Tx.
I know this is a bean video. But what type of commercial fertilizer is good for potatoes?
I'm going to try this in bucket . I'm in Tennessee too.
how did the okra do in the buckets?
I want oakra3-14-2022
I didn't know you could plant so many in 1 bucket. I'm trying to grow them for my first time, and only planted 3 in each 10 gallon pot lol. Epic waste of soil.
