The birds are so happy to live around you and your garden! :-)

I love how you think outside the box. You're training me to do the same thing. Always enjoy your videos.

I really like your way of planting. I live in a tiny condo with lots of restrictions, but I am still picking up plenty of good tips from you. This year I adopted the bin inside bin compost method. I will add your onion method later. Finger crossed that I can find cheap bins at dollar shop.

Hi Robbie! I have an old rusty BBQ grill I planted onions in just for kicks and they are doing awesome! There is actually no drainage so they got a tad waterlogged after a hard rain we had. But I scooped out the excess and they are doing great! Next year though I will actually plant them in a round plastic tub with drain holes and set inside the grill.

Hi Robbie, as an early riser. Well not actually risen, I often watch some of your more lengthy videos. Wanted you to know that here you've nailed it by totally expressing what has been my staunch belief for 60 of my 83 years. Literally everything you said is spot on and so true!!! I also believe it's all a vicious corporate circle created as a never ending money making conglomerate. Grow pretty food but not good with no nutritional value, market with false advertising, adulterate everything to cause ill health, build fear, a funded medical profession with No nutritional training or knowledge which encourages a pill for every thing, so big pharma eventually destroy the middle class, and ends with just the rich and powerful and a slave labor force of the poor. Which grows by outlawing abortion rights and the inherent right to control one's own body.

Robie you my girl my boo. Your garden rocks and I am your student. To your beautiful daughter mom know her thang, but I understand how you want to let go and do you boo. So with that said grow, grow, and love on each other please.

Thank you Robbie for this great information on growing onions🥰🥰 I keep all the containers I buy plants in too🥰🥰

I grow all my onions in groups if 8. Yes 8 in each group. Dont worry about what other people have say. Just do what works for you. When I need an onion, I just twist one of the outer onions and use it. Plus you know what your putting in your body.

You have given me so many great ideas! I love getting a notification when you have uploaded and the longer the better. I used to plant my onions just like this, as far as the depth and I would lose quite a few until a neighbor suggested that I only plant them root deep when the roots are formed and present. If it's the sets, he said just put them in only as deep as it takes to make an imprint. I have had much more success since. Tyfs. Much Love and God bless.

This is a great idea. This would allow me to bring the crop inside when our Kansas weather decides to drop 40 or more degrees in a matter of hours to save it. Thanks for the idea Robbie!

Great ideas, Robbie. I haven’t tried growing onions because my garden soil is so hard; lots of clay. It would be really nice to have home grown onions year round. It’s hard to find good organic onions in the store. I really enjoy your vlog; I laugh all the way through them. You are a joy. Thank you so much. Blessings

It’s ok to grow our own food And trust me no matter how many things we grow we will still need farmers crops to survive I’m eating whole food plant based at the moment and it’s really a lot of plants have to eat in a daily bases and even I have garden the growing speed of my plants is never fast enough than the eating speed of me consuming plants in the daily bases That’s why farmers actually encourage ppl use every single land they have to grow their own plants as well I helped out the rooftop garden in taiwan 🇹🇼 and Australia 🇦🇺, not everyone can access a land and of course plants grow better and well in land but they are using every single spaces they have, plant can even grow in the pot on the roof, isn’t that amazing 😉

Robbie, enjoyed your planting, double potting them is such a great idea- most of the time u can’t take them in because of water leakage! You solved that - LOTTS and LOTTS of onions this year !!!!!! and I prep my pots your way with a good mixture of this and that and then top with real rich soil Great gardening this year !!!!

That’s funny about the dog getting in it. I have a 30 lb black cat , when I start growing veggies indoors in February this cat likes to lie down in the bins. One morning I caught him sleeping on top of my kale.

You can use that idea to make it self watering. Like if you were going on vacation fill the bottom one with water it would Wick the water up while you are away

Any plants I bring in go into the tub.......with the bathroom door shut.....my cats.....yep...they would never leave a fun dirt project alone

Rewatching. It is onion planting time in Texas.

I learned this year that sets and starts are different things! Love learning all the things:) grown adult and always learning!

Bottom to top layers for container. Paper, leaves, food scraps, potting soil. Onions and wild garlic natural antiviral food. Thanks for ur great channel.

Very cool idea Robbie, thank you 🥰🥰

You know how much is the temperature in Montreal, Quebec: MINUS 20’ F!! So, I look at you and want to move to your home or in my home in Florida!! But, my husband is follow for his lung cancer + COVID = so no Florida this winter !! Take care of yourself and continue your good teaching!!

Ms Robbie, u r truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing. Love Southern Cali 🥰

Love this vid, Im just getting into planting I started a herb container and I see my mints spreading alreadies I was tickled I know I'm gonna have to repot those to their own container. I'm going to look for live onion and try your method I'm super excited. Blessings ❤

Love this video, finally! I might be able to grow some onions. They never grew when I planted them in the spring, think I’ll try garlic like this too.

Thanks for your help. I'm going to use your method to plan my onions.

Been raising onions for 20 years... your spacing is fine, especially with you thinning them. I love your ingenuity with the ‘planter’ and the ‘soul’. Onions don’t mind light frost or a dusting of snow that doesn’t stick. Dixondale in TX sells bundles of 50 seedlings.(often there’s 70 to 100). I used to plant 5 bundles in 4 foot wide raised beds... and anywhere from 3 to 5 ft length of planter per bundle. These days, I’m lucky to get 3 bundles planted, but it’s enuf.

I'm going to get some tubs for next year.

I watched this when you first recorded it and didnt send you a comment because I wasnt doing onions-this year I am so I came back to re-watch how you planted your onions in this 2 layer system.

Love your blue scoop

Greetings Robbie what a great idea😁😁could you do that with potatoes too? blessings to you and Gary 😇😇😇

Those little ones you called seedlings, are perfect to plant for May or June bulbing. You should get really good size onions from them.im guessing they’ll make bigger onions than the ones bulbing now. I think.

Hey Robby do you ever grow sweet onions? I absolutely love Vidalia onions first found out about them when I visited Vidalia Georgia and they're just the best. I don't know if they call them Vidalia because of the soil they grow in there or what but I was wondering if you could give me any info on that thanks a bunch I love your videos bye-bye

i like to plant in groups of 3 or 4 and later harvest by the bunch.

I bought some Dutch onion set by the lbs. For $1.52 I got 56 of them. I am planting just regular green onions. I went to a local garden centre.

I never have luck with onions and garlic; I will try this method 👌

Hey Robbie, I really like your blue soil scoop on a handle. Is that something you made, or something you can buy somewhere?

Listen Woman👂 You have me mesmerized with your 🧠, I’m in a small space outside but I have took off watching you, I had a lot of supply to get started but was stuck… Not anymore

A trip to my local nursery is now planned for this weekend. What zone are you in? Such an excellent video. Excellent editing. Love the dog info as bonus. Stay safe and hope fire stays away.

Cool!🙂

Great advice. What about growing onions from seed please ?

You make me laugh because you remind me of myself you just love mother nature

With all the fires out west i looked for you today. Im glad you are ok. My season is coming to a close here in Pa. but i planted arugula, lettuce, cilantro and spinach in august so i should be able to harvest for a while. Stay well I love gardening in tubs. You have been an inspiration. Deb in Pa.

I've noticed that with the onions as well.

Could you use washing up bowls, what numbers (on the bottom)would be ok, is it 3 upwards? Thanks

Robbie, if I follow your guidance with twigs, leaves & shredded paper for the base of my 18 gallon containers, how many containers will a 1.5 cu ft bag fill? Apologies, not sure how to calculate how many bags of all purpose potting soil I should purchase for 12 each 18 gallon containers.

What variety are those strong onions? I cannot find them here or online. I LOVE strong onions.

So many nuggets of info. Do you have any experience or vids growing sweet potatoes in containers?

I noticed that you used some shredded paper at the bottom of a couple of your pots. I am currently shredding a LOT of old papers and would like to use these wonderful crosscut shreds. A couple of people on a gardening group said they would not do it because of the ink and even the paper. In the past I have put some shreds in my compost pile which eventually finds its way to my garden soil or pots. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you.

Is there a follow up of this video ...I would love to see results

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

What do I need to know about Walking onions? I can eat them right?

I seem to have a. problem with indoor plants, get aphids so badly. Weill onions grow indoors without aphids? I live in zone 5b so we cant grow outdoors all year

❤️👍🏻❤️

Are those containers dish pans?

HELP! I’m in Southern California and my onion grow straight and don’t make bulbs? Any ideas why?

How long does it take for it to become a regular onion?

Something may have eaten garys... I grew up with critters eating my moms tulips and daffodil bulbs even though they are supposed to be " poisonous" it happens

I'm still not sold on "taste better" from home garden. I guess my taste buds can't tell the difference. Mentally, I like eating what I grow, but I can just as easily eat the veggies or fruits from the grocery store.

Where did you find tubs for 1.98 , please?

Robbie, where did you purchase that or where did you get that scoop that you use for watering please

I love your scooper and where did u buy it ?

Also, don't you have lots of walking onions? Are they different?

What are walking onions?

Where did you get

What exactly is a walking onion

$2 a piece? Where? Which store? Gosh these containers now are so steep!!!

2-10-2022 I find I forget a big onion if I cut it for a sandwich small er onion would be better.

Each time I cut onion, I am crying like a baby!! How do you do? You have a trick?? Thanks.

What are walking oniong

Where did you get your plastic containers that you grew your onions in. Such a bargain

90 is HOT for me...

can't listen to 2 commercials put the gate. go into the commercial business.

If you have cats then buy another one to cover it so they don’t get into it.

Cut the lip off.
