Joe Lampl, I am so excited to find you on KZfaq! I watched you religiously on PBS. Then they dropped you. Argh! So 😠. But I finally checked You Tube. YAY!!! I found you! I think I have seen most of your videos, but I learn ( or maybe am reminded ) something new each time I watch one. Thought I had lost you. 😄

FINALLY someone showing definite proof that pebbles at the bottom of a pot is not needed! ♥️

I would love to have you consider doing a story on a community garden I started in Meridian Idaho 14 years ago! The garden provides fresh produce for the local food banks, teaches new gardeners how to garden, has developed a pollinator garden and works within the city parks system. They have been amazingly successful! I left 6 years ago- but they are still on my heart. You can find them on FB at Meridian Co-op Gardeners

Amazing video…Thank You❤

Container gardening is sometimes the only way to grow veggies 🌱👍

My wife and I have watched your series on PBS for a long time but really enjoying on KZfaq. Always great segments and nice to be able to stop and start. Thank you

Thanks for this video! I live in Charleston, SC in a 1-BR apartment. Fortunately, I have one of the apartments that has a nice size Front & Back cement porches (ground floor)! I have mostly 5-gal. buckets for containers. I'm growing flowers & vegetables in them. I do not have an outside faucet, so I have to hand water (gallon jug). But that gives me time to check out the plants & see how they're doing. We're in Zone 8b, so we have mild winters (until Feb. & March). My Summer crops are still going strong, & I just planted my Late Summer ones out. I have seedlings under a grow light for my Fall garden (greens), and they're doing great. They'll be going outside in the next month or so. I've lived here 10 years, and I think this will be the most I've grown (at one time) this year!!

Good info! Appreciate the info on lining the large pots inside with expandable bubble wrap to prevent cracking.

Enjoyed this video. I watch ur show on CreateTV (channel 246 Comcast)every Saturday morning here.....in Atlanta, Ga. Thks. I subscribed.

I can’t believe I was watching this show back when watching television was the in thing! 😂 I think it was on PBS.

What a great video! Best take-away? Lining w/ bubble wrap! Phenomenal! My own new lesson this year? If container is going to sit on wood, ie a deck, drill the drainage holes on the sides about an inch up from the bottom. This will prevent mould/mildew/rot underneath as it drains thru the wood.

Use pots for growing our herbs so that they are right outside our door as we have a large patio. When cooking we can take a few steps to get fresh herbs for cooking or snacking on while enjoying the day.

Loved this episode!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Great video! Half our garden is in containers. Loved seeing other great ideas.

Thank you so much Joe for the great tips on Container Gardening. I sure did several things wrong in the past.

Great tip about the packing!

Great tips. Great video. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🇨🇦

This was an excellent video thank you. I really enjoyed the pallet planter segment. Great idea.

Great episode with lots of usable information - thanks!

Great tips and suggestions.

I enjoyed this video . It was a great learning experience.

Great video Joe! I agree with everything you showed. So, I am going to be sharing it with my garden club and etc. I never heard the bubble wrap inside the pot idea so I’m excited to try it. Keep up the great work!

Just beautiful I grow in containers as well

Beautiful video, informative and answered lot of my gardening queries.

If you will soak your terracotta pots in water until you hear the Fizzing stop it helps with the wicking alot

A few months back saw a video where the lady cut out the bottom of large containers (sorry do not remember where) and had arborvitaes growing in them. The only thing was that they were not being moved but allowed for large/deep-rooted plants to be planted in them Basically a raised bed.

The vertical pallet garden needs a 2 x 4 at the bottom. Not explained but can see

Love watching these shows ! In the beginning of the show it shows blueberries being potted. I was wondering if they grow like that year round , even in winter ? Zone 5a here. Montana

Great episode. I am surprised that you didn’t address fabric grow bags.

Great episode, as normal. Quick question have you done video segment on podcast 042 with Maria Rodale, this was also another great podcast Cj

I am a new follower! . I am really enjoying and learning a lot. This one was Fantastic. I had a thought while watching which I would like to share if I may ? I was keen to know the outcome of comparing drainage with or without stones at the bottom of a container and was going to alter my practice based on the outcome. However I was a bit surprised that more stones were added than usual for no obvious reason and also random amounts of water poured. For authenticity and for more reliable outcomes , could have simulated normal planting conditions re: quantity of stones and amount of water added. I guess have to do it myself!

We grow food year round in zone 9.

Hi Joe Thank you for the helpful video I have a question for ya ….. almost all vegetables say it’s good to grow naustriums and marigolds with them. I am worried about them taking over my raised garden bed”planters” box’s If I plant them in it with veggies Because the reseed 🤔 Should I really b concerned about this? 🤷🏼‍♀️

What about making sure your pots or things planting in are "food safe"?

Wait,...you said you guys used 6 bags of potting soil overall. In ONE pallet??

Any way to link the large faux ceramic pots? Can't find them anywhere

3-7-2022 Iwant to make mine a A frame. Thank you!

You put way too many stones in your example. You put no more than half/one inch. For my larger plants I use tiny pumice stones with the soil. I stopped using soil like miracle grow and others from large box stores. Go to a local nursery and buy your soil and mulch there. I have notice a HUGE difference in my garden and indoor plants. Thanks

What about empty pistachio shells for the bottom of containers?00we eat alot of pistacios

So how well did those pepper do up there??

Joe the part were you take the soil out of the container and put the bubblerap in.You just put the container in the gararge.you made double work.The container is way lighter.Still a great episode.

Do your organic veggie plants remain organic in the terra cotta and plastic pots.

How do keep spiders from making homes under the pot rims, etc.

Not a smart idea to mount anything with constant moisture against a wooden house wall...it will compromise the siding and the wall, and in this case, the window above it too.

Where can you buy for under $30

I want to use grow bags for containers, but they were not featured. Any thoughts on grow bags?

You do not want to lean anything organic like wood or soil against house wall....it will damage wall in many ways and require repairs.

How about growing organically in plastic?

Before you forget, please get a plank to put at the bottom because if you pick it up ... it'll all come out the bottom💀

Mr. Lamp'l, please don't advocate using plastics (including Styrofoam), be it pots, liners, etc. Using plastics in your garden is basically putting highly processed petrochemicals in your garden. Plastics are non-biodegradable and many find their way into the ocean or poor countries. (1) They will also stay in your garden for your and others' lifetimes. John Oliver recently did an expose on the danger of plastics as pollutants, in which he notes that less than 8% of plastics are recycled. (see Last Week Tonight March 21, 2021) Moreso, plastics increase the demand for oil. Plastics are manufactured mostly from oil, and they increase off-shore drilling; oil companies trying to ruin our national parks and deface the lands of native peoples; fracking; and other environmentally unsound practices. (2) We need to be more environmentally conscious, which entails consumers demanding and using more environmentally safe materials: terra cotta, coconut fiber, glass, wood, burlap, silicone, etc. Plastics also disrupt a lot of natural processes, for instance, plastic liners prevent nutrients from reaching soil when a mulch not only provides many of the same benefits, but also provides biomass nutrients that are good for plants. I'm still trying to wean myself off of, particularly, mult-use plastics (I have my fleet of seedling pots, used over again every year), but a true organic gardener will work to find other solutions than plastic.

Plastic? Potting Mix with peat? Doesn`t sound very much like a green world.
