Very impressed with Natalie's self sufficiency. Would love to see her demonstrate/teach her propagation methods in future videos.

She's so organized and she can identify everything so quickly and easily! I'm so impressed and jealous of her 😅 No hate, Natalie, just wish I had all your skills. I loved this episode, please do more with Natalie!

Kindred heart with Natalie there. I completely understand trying to extract the positive things from that experience and leave the negative behind. Early on its hard to not throw the baby out with the bathwater in an effort to just get away. Much love.

Natalie needs her own KZread. I'd be down for that.

I really like these videos where we get to meet the Epic Team and everyone’s gardens. You have the best coworkers!

Natalie's set up is very do-able and she motivates me. Love her goal of being a homesteader and being self sufficient.

This makes me feel so much better about the number of plants I've stuffed into all of my grow bags lol. I've kind of been assuming all my plants are going to die from overcrowding but Natalie has given me hope that I can continue to buy too many plants without consequences. I would love to see a video about all the different common garden plants you can grow from cuttings!

Natalie ....thanks for sharing what you learned from your grandparents/parents so that we get to benefit from that time depth of knowledge. I think of nuanced gardening as a lost art.( Co-planting, etc ).... Excited to start some containers this spring!

I love Natalie! Short gardeners unite lol. I'm also 5'2" and I have grow bags. I have grown all kinds of things in them. I will say I made the mistake of getting 20 gallon and they are too big and heavy to move most of the time. I like the 10 gallon ones better. 15 gallon should be the max size if you plan on moving the bags frequently. One of my questions is how does she cheaply fill the bags? Garden dirt can get pretty expensive and filling all those containers can get pretty expensive.

Bernie Cat, 36 years ago, I started with a very small area, maybe 4' x 6', maybe a tad bit larger. I placed containers around the outer part of that area. I had Gardenia and Rose bushes, and a few other things in the ground. I grew various tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumber in the containers. It was sooo much fun! I was amazed by what I could grow. And I LOVED that little garden, my first. I only grow in containers. You, too, can do this. Start small with only 6 containers maximum. Have fun, and Enjoy the experience.

Totally random, but I gotta say, the colour grading on this video is so gorgeous 👌 The palette with the muted sky, those green containers, even Kevin's outfit. Reminds me of a Wes Anderson film.

What an awesome garden! I love how she reuses things for plant starts. It just shows you can garden anywhere with a little ingenuity and planning.

Natalie's garden is such an inspiration and reminds me a lot of my own! I'm still living with my parents while in college so my garden is a bit limited and a lot in containers but one of the first things I added was backyard livestock: coturnix quail and rabbits. I think raising your own meat, if you can handle it, is such a good step towards self sufficiency and it feels great to have that kind of connection with where your food comes from. Rabbits (and also quail!) are such a great sustainable meat and fertilizer source if you can get over how cute they are. Loved the garden and interplanting tips, and seeing all the rabbit stew ingredients!

Love how much she has packed into a small garden! So inspiring! 🙌🏻

More on Natalie and how she feed's and water's her lovely garden? Love the movement of the plants from shade to sun, and the colorful sections, she's full of garden wisdom would love to see and hear more, thanks for sharing your garden Natalie with us!

you are both amazing!! I've spent probably most on soil as well. I actually went from 10 tomatoes to 25 to over 70+ all thanks to your tips and love giving them away tp friends. I feel as the best thing in gardening is sharing your accomplishments.

Natalie seems like a very down to earth and practical person. Great use of space and very interesting garden she has going on.

I LOVE it! Natalie is AWESOME! I just started gardening and am coming at it completely blind. No one to learn from and sandy soil with nothing in it. And I mean nothing. So I'm jumping straight into container gardening! So I can grow AND take the time to fix my soil.

I love her garden! Inspired by Epic Gardening and Jacques I have added a few flowers to the garden this year and I was so busy I had no time to label my plants so thinking I was planting sunflowers (I learned which ones to use from Epic Gardening) here and there, I planted some funny kind of tomatoes instead. (Seeds were a gift from a friend). Interplanting by coincidence. Our neighbour now has problems with his beautiful tomato plants being slayed by mole crickets, and trying to google out a solution for him I learned that my somewhat chaotic gardening with flowers all over and different types of plants growing together creates an environment where mole crickets don't want to live.

I love using strawberry shells upside down. line the lid with clingfilm and it'll hold water for bottom watering. love her garden!

I love her down to earth approach. Perfectly imperfect with her totes. I love these tours from your team! YAY!!!

This is like super encouraging because I don’t have much space from a grass standpoint but I can do this a lot better having containers that can be moved to capture more sun.

I respect everyone with container gardens! I personally prefer in-ground but everyone I've seen with containers does such a beautiful job and always do it for practicality which is awesome

I'm a small space gardener (I have outdoor space that's south facing but not as much as I would like), and I've been wondering if I could do 100% container gardening and this is making me realize it is 100% possible!

I had to remove an established Loquat from my back yard several years ago because it was too close to the back door and the dang Starlings loved it! I miss it, but I don't miss the mess. I like Natalie's reuse of containers. I have about 15 mixed paper recycling bins (HDPE) that have become planters or support for my grow bags.

What an encouragement! So many people think that container gardening is somehow less than any other type of gardening, that is absolutely false! You can do pretty much the same with container gardening as any other type as seen in this awesome video !

Loving that idea to recycle strawberry containers to create seed starters. Great way to save money and do something sustainable.

Love her style of gardening with companion plants. Think I'm going to try this because I don't have a lot of space but I love gardening both flowers and edibles too

This was such a great video. I really like Natalie’s garden. I too have lots of containers in my garden. Love the idea of three plants in each container. I usually just do basil in my tomato containers, but I think I will add a small pollinator now.

Great garden and video. That's pretty much how I garden here in Michigan. It's addictive! . I have 35 grow bags and pots, a greenstalk, and recently added in 2 6 in 1 birdie beds. It's a nurturing hobby!

This is one amazing lady! I don't think I could move my garden around, but it's working for her (20 years younger).

Love seeing the gardens of your team members! Natalie’s garden is awesome!

Beautiful garden! Very cool story to go with it, great things can come out of sketchy situations with the right mindset!

this is my favorite Epic Gardening video. More of her please.

Natalie, about 8 years ago I took a quail workshop in Ramona. I was a bit squeamish at first, but it was easy to do and unlike chickens you don't have to mess with the feathers. Plus you get eggs. They make a good small yard choice for livestock.

This garden is right up my alley, I have horrible soil so I have been using just grow bags, now, if I could figure out how to fence my garden on the cheap, I would be all set! I love her garden!!

Natalie is the west coast version of me! I wear dresses because it's so much cooler in my Florida garden and the hat is a must have. Our sandy soil makes it difficult to grow so my food crops are all in pots as are many of my flowers. Everything is hand watered because I move plants around all of the time. The summer sun can be brutal so thankfully I have shade trees to give some plants a break. My goal is to be self sufficient and as a vegetarian that will be easy. I would love to have chickens soon but I also have racoons, opossum and armadillos so I will need a secure place for them. Good luck Natalie!

I also want to have a homestead. I'd love to see more of Natalie. Find out where she plans to have her homestead, etc. She's fantastic.

Natalie’s so cool! I’m so intrigued by what her homestead plans are

I expanded my raised beds with about 30 grow bags. They have been working great. I mostly use 7 gallon bags each with a single plant in them. (seeing this I will probably try putting two in each, add a carrot or radish or beet) I have a few 5 gallon ones for smaller plants or plants that will grow very large but dont have insane root systems like pumpkins. I have a few 10 gallon bags for potatoes. I also have two massive grow bags, I think they are 50 gallons, but shallow, a little higher then a foot and I have one filled with all my herbs, and the other has cucamelons & peas growing around the outside with radishes, lettuce and garlic growing in the middle. I have found grow bags to be super useful in comparison to the raised beds that came with my place, easy to move (except the 50 gallon ones) easy to water and fertilize. The raised beds at my place just used the dirt already in the backyard so they are full of clay and the stuff I planted there does grow, just about 1/4 the speed of whats in my grow bags. Ive been slowly digging out a foot deep of the clay filled dirt and replacing it with new compost and triple mix soil as I harvest the plants that were already in there and its really helped, things in those spots growing far faster now. Man I wish I had a warmer climate to grow some of those fruits here in cold canada and have a longer growing season. Would also love the USA's 1st & 2nd.

Hashtag goals. I'm also confined to container gardening for now, because I'm not at a permanent residence, and the owners won't take care of a garden/raised beds once I leave (plus I worry about it lowering the home value when they go to sell). I'll have to see about putting some flowers in my containers, but I mostly have 4 and 5 gallon buckets. If you have friends with cats, though, ask for their empty litter containers. Prime source of free buckets, and they fit together better, being square!

This was my favorite ever. Go Natalie!
