I just discovered your channel. I've always wanted to garden but all the videos I watched were so complicated and you needed to spend so much money. Since I don't know what I'm doing spending money on something I might kill would just deter me cause I don't have much money to spare. I've been binge watching your videos and every video I'm like "I can do this, I can do this". You explain it so well and you don't waste money. I love the tub and chair idea! And for the first time EVER composting makes sense and seems doable. I'm gonna have a small garden on my deck this spring. Thank you!!

A small garden will be so easy and perfect, and I do my composting like Mother Nature, after all, I think she knows best, take care, WARNING: once you start, your small garden could end up really big as you want more and more, 🤣

Hi. Robbie . I have been learning about compost and planting on my own by reading and going in u tube since 1993 it has been a long journey. This year 2019 am gonna try your method with the compost under the plant containers. It seems simple but I think it make a lot of sense . Am in queens, ny and probably some things won’t work but that’s ok. Am still gonna try. Your energy feeds my energy. As soon as winter is leaving I start with seeds in the house until it gets a little warm and then I plant in containers. This year for the 1st time I did the small cup to start the seeds and it’s working . It’s been better than other methods that I learn before. I wish you was my neighbor. I have no neighbors that really grow vegetables. Also was gonna say that I have not found any wood chips to cover the container tops. Thank you and your husband ( Gary) for taking out time to keep us busy learning from your experiences. Thank You

Excellent! Wish I had seen this several months ago before I wasted so much because I didn't have my big bin ready. Dang. I learned a lot here. Composting made simple. I love the idea of putting the hardware mesh on and then the pots. It will keep doggo out.

Love your and Gary's comedy snippets in between. Lol.

I love your innovative and cost-saving methods! Compost making is like making earth gold! Buying compost is so expensive, and you can never have enough so if we can find ways to compost (even a worm bin indoors in an apartment or on a balcony or patio space!) I love your channel and what you and Gary do and share with us here! Thank you!

You’re so cleaver, thanks for all the great tips❤

Hey Robbie, thank you for sharing this great information on the holes on the totes🥰🥰

hi Robbie, made me laugh on this video you are a pro. I loved the way you work in the garden with your hat on and bucket on hand. Thumbs up!!!.

I appreciate everything you share with us all... THANKS so so much...

Yay i just got bins today thank you for inspiring me

You are so cute and I love everything you do! I do the same thing but I never thought of putting the shredded paper in there! Great idea thank you Blessings.

I love the way you seem to mention the easy way you plant zucchinis. I am using your technique this Spring in Melbourne Australia. I love the large zucchinis stuffed. The shops dont sell the large ones so I'm happy growing mine until the perfect size. Thank you so much for all your tips.

As always great info!!! Thanks!!!

I love your easy ideas of composting I recently bought a property that has a yard and garden and I'm going to use your method thanks a lot for sharing

I'm here because someone mentioned you in a gardening group.

So happy I found you.

Love your channel!! Suuuper inspiring

Thank you for all the great ideas!!! I get tons of crate or pickup truck full of mulch for free from my local recycle center. They collect the local tree, leaves and branches that they break down and where I live they will let me take as much as I can howl out. I use it for my compost and layering my garden bed.

great video robbie, i started a bin like this in the back yard, it is sitting on a pile of snow, i guess it will begin decomposing in the spring. meanwhile, i just keep adding to it.

Thank you so much for your video(s), especially for the ones you made in composting and making your own soil. I'm trying to learn enough to get started with at least a little gardening. This video was the one that had me out in my yard this morning, setting up my first bin. By the way, I thought I wouldn't have enough material to get started. I don't exactly live out in the nature. But it turns out, the amount of half rotten leaves and paper and cardboard and garden clippings I was able to find around the house would have been enough to get several bins started.

very entertaining thanx guys 💘

Love the video! Keep up the good work.

Nice video. You made me excited to start composting before spring comes.

The invasion of the humming birds. ;-)

I look forward to your new posts. This one is great because I can share it with my friends to help explain the technique in detail. You have a following of a group of us here in N. Calif. This technique has revolutionized my home garden of 30+ years. I had composted and done vermiculture, gradually moving toward "chop-and-drop" techniques but this put it all together for me. It seems ideal for small urban gardens. One thing I've been wondering is how you have tomatoes that survive the winter. It must be that much warmer there than where I am in Calif.

I'm in Las Vegas ,in an apartment and I have a few questions.(I also have tomatoes started from organic tomatoes in the compost pile in September that have survived 28 degrees on my patio ) I want to set up a 3 tier Tower(+) on my cement patio . I can't put holes on the bottom of my containers. My idea is to put cement blocks with holes about an inch to an inch and a half up that I can use the drain water as compost tea.I'm also going to buy some worms because we have none here. Think it will work? Thank you Patricia Kurschinski

I attempted to keep my tomatoes going thru the winter this year by having them in black large tubs so they would catch as much heat as possible using the compost in place methods. It seems they ALMOST made it but by January they had died back. I'm keeping a few rooted just in case there is still some life there.

I love your videos and they are making me excited to garden again. I followed some of the other gardening videos on KZread and they were "buy this and buy that and you will have a successful garden". Well I bought stuff and it didn't work. Now I live in an apartment with a small patio. How would you do drainage? I don't want to stain the cement.

@wmluna381

Did you figure the drainage out in a workable way? I would think a duplicate' catchment' bin at the bottom with a couple of bricks or rocks in between would work. And it would allow you to reuse the drained water.

Thank you for sharing all this information, I’m from El Salvador in Central America and trying to start growing our own food 🤩✨ I would like to have an idea of what kind of organic kitchen scraps you would not recommend to throw on your compost starter? Thanks again I really appreciate your teachings ❤✨ 8:38

LOL ;-) I must eats me spinach! What a goofball. ;-) You crack me up! LOL

These are wonderful videos. Is your content any in writing? I’d love to have a reference for how to do much of this to quickly reference. Thank you!

Hi thanks for the great info Wondering if you can throw bones 🦴 in there also?

Do you have a video talking about adding minerals to your compost soil? I love what you do but I am curious how do you add trace elements and other beneficial things a soil would need, not just the compost.

My Collie mix would lift the wire mesh and take it away. Then its a search to find it and make sure you don't run over it with the lawn mower this spring. :)

I've watched you videos about making a composting bin and I've started one. Can I cover it with the bin top or should I leave it uncovered? I live in Alabama and we have lots of rain. I've drilled holes in the bin so no water will sit in it. Thanks! I love your videos and have transformed by backyard!

Hi i do the same thing i have compost growing in tubs but i just add worms in it i dont drill holes underneath them

I love love love your vids! I live in a mobile home park lot and the land is not mine...this is perfect for me...but I have a question do you buy the worms???

Thanks for all the information! Very helpful! Are cedar chips helpful in gardening. I have some and don’t know what to use them for.

Hi Robbie, Do I have to wait until it completely decomposes before I can plant in it or can I use it when it's partially decomposed? Could I use that straight or would I need to mix in potting soil to the compost before planting? Will it decompose faster if I keep the lid on my tote or keep the lid off? Thank you so much I enjoy your videos, they inspire me. God bless you real good✝️💚🌻🌿🍅🌿🥕🌱🌽

Can you use weeds in the mix also? Would the weeds grow? Thank you for all the videos love them!

We have groundhogs that have always foiled my composting attempts.

Robbie, I LOVE your videos. So informative and fun! I have done many of the things you suggest. Question. I have a concern about “jumping worms”. I live in NC and we have some that come in on pine needle mulch. They have stripped the soil and eaten all around the young roots on the top 3 inches of soil of a yoshino shiny cherry tree. And left castings that have NOTHING in it. The soil looks like coffee grounds. Have you run into this yet and how would you use your compost of how would you get rid of that compost in order to not have those jumping worms transfer to your garden?

As far as tree roots growing into the bin, why would it make a difference if the hole is round vs longer rectangular holes?

I would think using cedar would be possible but cedar is desired for its resistance to rot so works better as a mulch.

Is Gary still looking for his wire?🤣😂

I've have garbage pail I'm using for compost but it seems to be taking so long to break down. I wonder if I need more holes for drainage so I don't kill the worms/maggots...???? I use a big stick to turn it every once in a while but now I wonder if I even have to do that???

Can I put ivy vines in the compost bin? I have heard no but also yes so I would like to get your opinion or anyone else's here! Love your channel, live in the OC.

Hi Barbara, no but I do toss that into my compost in place bins. For my compost tea, I usually only add in yellowing leaves, or green leaves, like kale and collard and whatever, and use that as my compost tea in a few days when it breaks down and starts to smell. Sugar should be find to add in if you want, thanks Robbie
