Bella: "You poor fella. You are talking to yourself. It's ok. I am here to help." Lol❤

The first time I saw hydroponics and grow lights used was in the 1970's by the pot farmers in Washington state growing weed in their closets. I hadn't seen that before because I'm from California where people just grew outdoors. The marijuana farmers have always been on the forefront of hydroponics and grow lights. Whether or not you agree with the use of marijuana it's still worth picking those guys brains, they have this stuff down to a science.

I 💘 this channel i can't stop watching it. It will help you out a lot on crops and working with animals. I 💘 Houston and Emily with their cute selves. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. I 💘 you all and your channel too.😄😄😄 Keep up the good work. Lo

This is my first comment on your videos, after a few years of following. I just wanted to thank you for your service to the community as a LEO, and by way of spreading knowledge via KZfaq. You’re and inspiration AATW!

I’m a Canadian senior who recently discovered Mike Vandez (I think). I’m just learning about this method, and am doing my research. We have bitterly cold winters here in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, -30c on average this winter, so I’m trying to figure out what I can grow inside for a food supply. Our cost of living and housing has become so overwhelming in Canada, that most of the seniors/disabled can’t afford a healthy diet. The problem is, we can’t afford even moderately priced online hydroponics courses to learn the nitty gritty either. Personally I’m scared to death; I am 5’2” and have shrunk to less than 100lbs. I’m terrified that if I don’t find an affordable healthy food source, I’ll just continue to deteriorate, so are a lot of my friends. We are far from alone. As Canadian seniors we can’t complain or we’ll be offered MAID for being too poor to eat properly ( something you should never know!) Thank you for sharing your actual food blend without taking a course. I have subscribed and will look up the other people you mentioned that you’ve learned from. If you could please share how to do everything on an alternative budget, so we can all afford to do this. So through this methodology we can afford greens and nutrients to help us survive. ❤️

Thanks for all of your gardening advice. I plan to get my 6 year old granddaughter to help me with gardening this year. I have mostly raised beds but I will now try some Hydroponics. God bless you and your family!

I love being in the high tunnel. This is where I learn the most from you. Thanks God bless, take care and be safe.

Daniel, your passion for growing your own produce is proving to be extremely successful... All your plants look healthy and delicious... Great job and thank you for sharing your knowledge👍

We just started ours on our apartment deck thanks for the idea. Can't wait until we start blooming and harvesting! Thanks arms family stay humble 😁

I wasn't going to get into planting this year. With COVID-19, we've been so busy and stressed, I'm a nurse and my husband works in hospital as well. I have to say, the hydroponic tubs look pretty great. I wouldn't have to worry so much about watering and pests getting into the beds. Thanks for sharing Daniel.

Your garden vegetables are growing so well & healthy looking. I grow my leafy greens in the Kratky methods during winter, but haven't try growing anything during the summer, because our temperature is so hot and humid here. Probably will give it a try this year, since your pepper and cucumber plants looking so healthy. Thanks for sharing your garden experiences.

I did a cucumber, cherry tomato and believe it or not, a corn plant in 5 gallon hydroponic buckets. They grew so much faster and produced so much fruit. Can't wait to do more this year.

Your hydroponic garden is great. You are such a great inspiration. Thank you for your service, my friend.

Great information without fancy language. Instantly accessible to people. Thanks and keep up the amazing work!

Great video brother. Real down to earth explanations. I ran across your videos about a month ago when I decided to do some more research about hydroponics. Your videos are by far the most practical. And you don't just teach facts, you share experiences, good and bad. Keep at it. I hope you, your family and your homestead prosper greatly this year.

I saw your other video last year. It inspired me to start gardening this way. I used to have a black thumb. I now have a squash plant growing. Please please make more of these videos.

Loving your videos since I found you in March. I javelin started 2 55 gallon hydroponic gardens. One has 2 banana peppers and they are doing great. I repurposed small coffeemate containers for pots. The other barrel has 3 varieties of cucumber and 1 cherry tomato. I have already harvested the first cluster of tomatoes and cucumbers just started to blossom this week. I followed your instructions except I star with water from my koi pond. I water everything with fish poop. I have had to add a couple gallons of water a couple of times but that came from the koi pond too. I have two more barrels to start soon. Can't wait. Thank you so much this has been a lot of fun. Hope it holds up in florida heat.

I enjoy how you share details of what to do in your own backyard. That high tunnel is awesome. You have me wanting a good salad.

Give Bella a kiss. 🐕 Love the beautiful plants you have 🌱 and inspiration you give.

Love the video, ha ha ha ha Bella. There's Houston, nice to see his smiling face. I like that vertical planter, that would be perfect for myself and I lack good space. Thank s for sharing!

You’re a wonderful teacher 👨‍🏫, thanks for all the info. Even in small spaces you can grow a garden!

Thank you for sharing your hydroponics experiment that you have worked on.. It will really help especially those who are beginners.. Happy planting. Happy growing. More blessings to come😇💚

Your my favorite channel

I received my greenstalk planter in the mail yesterday! I plan on planting my tiny Tim tomatoes and strawberries in it.

Great video - Hubby's grand daughter is wanting to get into growing food and herbs...sharing so she can watch and learn!

Thanks so much. We live in South Fl. We have a 9 month summer growing season lol. This will lengthen our growing season tremendously for heat sensitive varieties.

Thank you for sharing. There are so many ways to grow food now. It's nice to see you growing them in different situations.

Great tutorial!! I've always wanted to try hydroponics but you have made it simple and easy. Thanks!!

What a BEAUTIFUL Garden! So Admirable...wow! I'm a believer in those hydro containers now! Thank you! Genius!

Enjoyed watching you working in your hydroponics gardening. We have had some cold weather here in Northeast Georgia. Cold mornings and cool days. Growing my vegs is off to a slow start.

We are trying hydroponics for the first time this year! cant wait to see how it works out for us too! Best of luck this growing season!

Thanks for this! I saw your video a few weeks ago, with the tote on your patio. I live in an apartment with a patio that gets morning sun, but is all shade after about 12. I've struggled growing in pots. I started researching this method and have started ordering supplies. Now to get my hands on a drill, to drill the holes... 😜 This was really helpful! I'm ordering the clay beads that you showed, instead of the rockwool grow cubes that another video recommended. That way I can start my seeds in dirt, like I normally would. Thanks for the tip about rain. I have a covered patio but this is good to know, so I can pull the totes in closer to the door to avoid the added water.

Thank You very much. We like your dogs and your son too. We are in Canada .

Your tower planter is really doing well! The hydro plants are amazing too!👍

I'm so excited for my GreenStalk! Yours look great!

Have a Blessed Memorial Day. Thanks to you and your family I have several different projects going. May God Bless and keep you all, Most of all, God Bless our fallen & their families, they gave it ALL, God Bless our Country that was the beginning of it ALL.

I always love learning from you ! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge !!

This is one of the best vids I’ve watched on this. Thank you!!!!! Makes me want to start right now

All your Gardens are so very nice! They look beautiful!

Checked again for the fertilizer. I noticed you have very healthy plants. Thanks again.

You have great garden plants. You are having great success with your hydroponics. Way to go.

Just love your content and how you simplify and show how you grow your greens very inspiring!!🌿🌱🌾👍

My friend said he liked it so I desided to check it out

Love you guys I talk about you guys all the time!!

Daniel great video. The difference between peppers grown outside, inside the high tunnel in soil, in wicking tubs, hydroponic barrels is awesome. I just recently saw Bobby's video using perlite. Let me say that cabbage of his must be a record breaker lol. Thanks for this one because our high tunnel is doing great. We are going to try the barrel for cukes and a tub for 1 zucchini for our experiment. Hope all is well. God bless ❤😊🙏

Your fur baby like mine, wants to see what I'm doing and trying to grab some veggies to eat. Stay safe and blessings to your family.

Thank you so much for the information/inspiration! I will start on Hydroponics and vertical gardening :))

You introduced me to this method. And I greatly appreciate it. After research and trial and error I have grown massive cherry tomato plants and Carolina reapers peppers. Unfortunately zucchini plants only grow great until it starts fruiting then blows through water like crazy. Larger tomatoes do the same

Wow, this is border line amazing. New concepts and possibilities. Thanks so much for this informational video.

Hi to Arms Family Homestead , that garden looks so amazing with them beautiful crops. Great work on that garden and plants. This was a nice video about crops i 💘 it. Thanks for sharing and Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's. God Bless You

Your videos are always so informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Okay. This is a great idea for me, beginners. Really like this stuff. Tx

Love that tote for the greens. Wayda grow!!

Those vertical planters are Wonderful!

Love seeing all the different planting experiments.

Good and I enjoy watching cause your the only one that can be done hydroponic out side the house. Thank you very much bro.

Very interesting. Garden time is an awesome time. Keep safe. 🙏👍❤🍓🌱🌿🐝🐝

Awesome video very informative. Jimmy Houston is growing his channel by leaps and bounds.

Would love more videos of your garden, wicking buckets, and barrels! Not many out there that are growing this way and I am trying it this year

Love how big the vegetables are getting so big know

Makes me want to try hydroponics! Your gardens look great.

If police officin' doesn't work out for ya, you'd be a great teacher. You make things easy to understand. Must be from rearin' them youngins all these years, or explainin' to people how to follow directions at work? x) Father's Day is comin' up, I hope yours is the greatest! Love from Philly

Great video. Just had boiled turnips n onions for supper. Finally enjoying garden stuff

I love how you referenced a domino for the configuration of the plants 😂 My Okie family would greatly approve 😉

That’s a awesome amount of greens 🥬 Daniel. Hey Houston! 👍👍👍💯💯💯

I love this video,,tell DJ,, Happy Mother's Day❤️

Your high tunnel garden looks amazing!

Man, a lot of really nice plants you've grown.

Very informative. I think I might try and see if I can grow something. Thanks Daniel. God bless. Stay safe♥️🇺🇸🌹

As an experiment I took a couple "armpits" off of a tomato plant and just stuck them in plastic juice bottles. In there for over a month cuz I planned to put them in dirt but didn't have any at the time...no fertilizer. After finally planting them in a black plastic tote, these mater plants ended up huge! But I'm going to try water gardening next spring. Thanks for the awesome info!

Have got to get into the gardening thing👍

I had gone to a farmer's market a few years ago, I was sold some bok choy flowers. They were wonderful...they had a nutty flavor.

Love your videos man keep on doing what you’re doing.👍

That is awesome, so miss my garden when I can buy the garden tower I will enjoy grow plants again. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))

Hi Bella! We love you!

Awesome ideas! I love learning new ways to grow! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🍃🌿🌱

Thank you! This was a great tutorial! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!

I love growing myself too really love your garden 💛 💕 ❤.

You really really have a wonderful way of presenting everything some people with their growing on KZfaq just meander on and on but you were really helpful I enjoyed your first video and I am going to subscribe

First time viewer and i really enjoyed your video. Great approach in trying various methods in growing your veggies.

All of your plants and vegetables look amazing! Love all of your videos and love your shirt! Haha

Your veggie plants 🌱 are looking real good.

Man this is so inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is something me and my husband may look into. We don't have a lot of room. This year we are doing the squar foot garden so far so good on that.

Oh awesome veggies bein grown up just nearby the kitchen!

very informative, I'm going to try a few plants this year

I make my own netcups out of yogurt cups. Works fine. I sometimes use a large lid netpot in 5 gallon buckets , I got them from Amazon. I use those for tomatoes. I use the masterblend and other two you use as well.

Peppers like to be crowded and wait till the brown is 50 degrees. Love the hypnotic way

In hydroponics, growers are working with warm water. Compared to cooler water, warm water doesn’t hold as much oxygen, and root and bacterial respiration occurs at a higher rate. Plant pathologists have found that pathogens such as Pythium are more likely to start affecting roots when oxygen levels are low.

Gardening has come a long way!

Great video thanks Daniel

nice plants I can,t get over the roots on your vegetable plants that's a lot I well have to try growing my plants like that some time thanks for sharing

This is interesting. Your videos are so good, I like watching them.

Have been watching your channel for awhile now. I truly enjoy watching you and your family. Live in Northern California now but orginially Upstate New York. I did grow up on a farm of my grandparents. My son's hair when he was young was almost white and long. He's older now and it's a military length or shortness. Becareful out on the road. Stay well and love Houston, DeeJay, Emma, and you as well. Really do like the Alpaca's (donkey poodles), dogs, and goats.

Danial that is a good looking cap!!!

Hello Daniel and Houston.

That was a maze video clip you put together there off yor vegetable garden and your hydroponic there 👍👍
