I cut up all my plastic waste into small bits and they dissappear in my compost bin filled with plastic eating, fishing tackle worms: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob-Zm6-autirYn0.htmlsi=fK2dIUGcJOLC6VRs

Great video 🇳🇿🌱

I grow 1st & 2nd early potatoes in pots, also courgettes/zucchini. Both do better than ground grown in both yield & pest damage. I don't save much room, as the only place for them is on the path I use or the interbed paths & in the latter case, they rob the beds of light.

Oh whatttt the plant world doesn’t revolve around me 😱😱 😅😅. I over water a lot but mostly inside such as seedlings. I’m like you a big blanket watering it is but I’ll keep better track now. Great advice and I agree my garden my rules 👍👍. Have a super weekend Jacq, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

Big issue with that is that newspaper often contains toxic inks which I am not sure of it the plants then take that in with the water. I would try to get an unprinted source

Thats a great kind of idea use and reuse and recycle. resourceful you.👍👍

I always grow carrots in pots and get bumper crops. I have tried them often in the ground and no matter how I amend the soil, they are short and stubby and often buggy. So pots only now...they are so good

Thank u for this important info on growing snow peas. 😃

😅 cold and wet sounds like a UK summer in July (so they tell me), it’s finally dropped a bit here in SW Canada 🇨🇦 at a balmy 28c. Can’t wait for tomato and cucumber days here. Thank you for the great tips Jacq, have an awesome day, Ali 🌞28c 🇨🇦

My friends realtive makes green tomato pickle...yummo

Such great tips! I am so guilty of the first two mistakes.

There are so many invasive plants and herbs. My potatoes keep regrowing for years in beds where they have been planted. Even in spite of all efforts to dig every spud up. My pots are large. I built a bench along the side of the house for them. This uses space for growing that wouldn't work for a raised bed since the ground is rocky.

Bleached white paper seems to compost quickly for me.

Put some leaves in the toilet paper rolls, the worms love to get inside of them.

How long should an unturned compost pile (in a black compost dalek bin) take to be good to go? And when do you stop adding??? I've been adding to this pile for so long! Nice video❤

Great video by the way! lol I found your channel with the video about 3 plants you always grow in pots. I can relate, I am renting but,soon moving to,1/2,acre,property. Cheers!

How do,you check the water level?

I am new to composting so have lots of questions! I just bought six pallet boxes with open, slatted sides and bottoms which I will be using to hold leaf litter and grass clippings. (From neighbors; mine are mulched and left in place. 😊). I want to reduce my waste as much as possible. What is the problem with using glossy paper which is colored? I am in the US and get catalogs and company mailers from businesses which I don’t do business with. I don’t support any printed media, including newspapers and magazines, but I get unwanted glossy, colored mail daily! We are not allowed to burn it but I have wondered if I burn it in my evening fire (which is permitted) if the ashes could go into my compost. I make bone broth for my dogs; is there anything I can do with the leftover bones? Lastly, what is the best way to compost cardboard? Can dog fur be composted? I put it out for the birds and squirrels but no one wants it!

I put in toilet roll centres in also, plus paper shreddings, unless I know some plastic film got in there. I also have a whole load of plant matter that I allowed to dry out (to kill the roots) that I plan to add, just not done yet. However, I don’t generally add food waste unless it’s peelings or uncooked egg shells. Snails and slugs are enough of a pest, I don’t need to attract more!

Ginger. Tumeric. Sweet potato (boniato 🇨🇺, patat 🇭🇹). Pot-sville.

Ad in seaweed, gras, rockdust, worms.

This was so unexpected and so beautiful. Thank you!

How did i never think of that?

We cut up old clothes or torn sheets as long as they are 100% cotton. We cut off anything that is a tag or elastic. Cut them up into about 2 inch squares. Surprising how fast they disappear.

I grow lots of veggies in pots. Potatoes, tomatoes, okra, zukes, figs blackberries, and my favorite strawberries. I use the SIP system for my pots, it gets beauty hot here in west Texas. OH! Sunflowers. I enjoyed the accent. I'm an Okie by birth here in the US and our accent sometimes confuses others around the world.

David the Good channel, compost everything especially of the pile is hot enough.

Wrong on all accounts. Potatoes need soil and lots of root space and room for the tubers. Potatoes dobt do well in pots at all. If you don't have more room than that don't grow them at all . Strawberries also need more soil in a pot and room for the vines to spread. Raspberries are deep rooted in parts do not get that in pots. Please learn better gardening and stop giving bad advice.

I have loads of brown, need more green. Nice video.

I've been putting pretty much everything in apart from what squirts out of my dog and cat's gas pipes but meat goes in and gets covered with greens or more cardboard. It works absolutely fine. As you say, dairy, etc. Play dough sounds organic so why not. And of course, the old (in my case) human liquid activator as long as you're healthy. Adds so much nitrogen. Ash, weeds, seaweed, meat carcasses (something will eat the marrowbone). Everything that rots.

I love growing my potatoes in a pot, makes harvesting so much easier. I just flip the pot over into a kiddy pool, and search through the soil for the potatoes (kinda like a treasure hunt 😂) Also Marjoram, planted it in the garden once, now half of my yard is Marjoram, great smelling ground cover though. Just found your channel today, best wishes from Quebec Canada 🇨🇦

Hi Jacqui, A few observations from a viewer in Sydney. I'm no expert, but...I thought the soil in the original pots looked very wet. You're correct, more sun will be great. More sun, more photosynthesis. That said, when re-potting the green part of the potato can be covered, like really covered in soil or compost. Hope you get it sorted, and I'm sure you will.

I need to try this!

Just this past year I started adding all the things you mentioned (except for the playdough...), and for the exact same reason - I do not have enough browns. I also throw in used paper towels IF they don't have grease on them. I just have a wire bin, and never turn it, because I am physically unable to. Everything composts anyway. In one of my raised beds, I did not have anything to use as a mulch, so I used shredded paper. It worked very well, and clumped together enough that I did not have to worry about it blowing away.

Is that a Birdies bed that you're using for water catchment? How is it set up?

New sub here and great video, I grow potatoes in pots as I tend to,stab them and it’s a better way to harvest what I need without leaving some behind 😅. I grow strawberries 🍓 and raspberries in pots too 👍. Have an awesome week, happy 4th of July, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

Look into Sunchoke, Ginger and turmeric as well. I find these do better for me in pot's than in the ground. If you haven't tried Amaranth either yet, I suggest you do. It's a Spinach type use case but also produces a wonderful pseudo-grain that is delish.

If you pot plant potatoes also try onions. Like potatoes you can never get all the seed stock out of an in ground garden if you want to grow something else in their place. If you live in a hot climate it’s best to make sure the pots have something that absorbs the heat to block direct sunlight and prevent the soil from getting too hot. Straw works fairly well.

I think all have moments like that! Better late than never!

Good Day ! My blueberries are all grown in pots because of the lower ph. Soil . I’ve tried a few times to grow potatoes in big pots in Melbourne , Australia It did not work to hot , they dry out to fast . Only in the ground

Cabbage in 3 gal. pots, peppers 5 gal. celery 1 gal. tomatoes 5 or 6 gal. cucumbers 5 or 6 gal. sweet potatoes 10 gal. bags. I love containers, easy to weed, easy to water.

I always grow mint and basil in a pot as they seem to spread and take over the garden. I also grow my strawberries and peppers in pots as well as sweet potatoes and regular potatoes

Thanks But I Had A Hard Time Understanding What Your Saying. Please Speak Up And Clearly. Your Voice Fades Out And With Your Accent I'm Not Sure I Understood You.

I grow my bamboo plants in the pot because I don’t want to see the bamboo plants take over the whole garden

Oak tree in a pot.

I rent and I'm disabled.my landlord lets me plant in pots around my apt house.i have tomato.jaholpino.rasberry.strawberrys.in pots.and I planted lettuce and carrots in the flower bed behind the house.

Great video! I grew potatoes once in the ground, definitely prefer in containers.

I grow all my veg in pots. It's easier, cleaner and safer! :⁠-⁠)

Nice quick informative stuff, love it. I'm a 1st year grower, all containers. +1 on the potatoes, I'm going to start a two-bucket rotation every month in the food safe paint buckets, not the black "5 gallon" ones. I haven't harvested mine yet, but can already tell it's better than television. Tower gardening is something I've gotten into and it looks surprisingly promising. Thanks for sharing!
