*I agree that growing 'Vertically' is more advantageous to **_small spaces._* But, the Green Stalk IS technically a COLLECTION OF CONTAINERS stacked on top of one another. It is more CORRECT, in my opinion, to call it _Vertical Container Gardening!_ As opposed to REGULAR container gardening or FLOOR container gardening. There are also some things you would still need a POT or bag for like... POTATOES. Planting the wrong thing in the wrong pocket can still potentially SHADE OUT other plants. And there are certain veggies that should not be grown in the same dirt as other veggies. Feeding a family with children would call for more investment and space if your goal is to at least bring down your grocery bill. Some people don't have a backyard patio, they have an Apartment _Landing or Balcony_ and could not get away with having such a NOTICEABLE object. You always have to know all the pros & cons and then pick what is best for you and your family & your situation. Just grow something, somehow!

going back to when you started and see your progress

Somebody needs to get you a TV SHOW... I have sent your videos to so many of my friends, and have done so many projects, just cause i saw you do and felt encouraged by your words, HGTV needs to snatch you up.

I love my Greenstalk, especially in the Winter when everything I wanted was right at the doorstep. Watching your video reminds me that I’m not even using it to it’s fullest potential yet!

Hi, been binge watching some of your videos, and I was wondering if you can do a comprehensive video showing how you plant out your green stalks and how you choose which plants you decide to go where in the greenstalk....thanks in advance.....happy gardening 😊

Just got my first green stalk! Going back and watching your old videos. Didn’t get plant supports yet haha Hoping to get my first pressure canner this summer as well. I feel so encourage from your videos!

Cassandra, Watching this was so refreshing. Hearing and seeing you relaxed and in a natural paced speech was so comforting and refreshing. You have so much to offer and you’re an encouragement to those of us that don’t have a homestead. Please go back to this method of sharing information.

As do I thanks for mentioning this, Cassandra is wonderful she does it all, I very much appreciate her 😊

Thank you for this video. I started vertical gardening over the winter and I absolutely love it

I’ve read that fertilizing isn’t advisable until at least the third set of true leaves are well established (and I learned the hard way you also have to be sure to dilute the fish emulsifier wayyyy down for seedlings 😁😂). Snaps and foxglove take forever to get going, so I’d say just hang in there. Everything looks great!

I have tried a couple of things in my greenstalk for tomatoes. I stick 2 pieces of about 4' bamboo and criss cross tie jute back and forth from bamboo to bamboo. Stick it right in the soil and train the ends of your plant between the poles and jute. I have container cukes this year and am praying it works.

Let me get these coins together for my first Greenstalk! I am excited to switch to vertical gardening! Your green space is so amazing!!! Thanks for sharing.

Hello Catherine! Always good to see you friend! First let’s celebrate that this is your first year gardening! That’s awesome. Continue to review videos and blogs online about vertical growing and the Green Stalk and I’ll think you’ll become convinced. They go on sale frequently enough so when you do purchase try to hold out for a sale. Being able to densely grow so much with such a small footprint has been great! Take good care, friend!

This is my 2nd video that I have watched on your channel. While I have seen many greenstalk videos, I have a way of explaining it differently and visually showing what many capabilities the greenstalk benefits. Thank you. Blessings to you.

Love your video. I have two greenstalks and one garden tower. Love them! Your absolutely right about the grow bags, not having much luck with them and they take up so much room.

Hi! I just subscribed to your channel. Your content is nicely presented! This is my first year with vertical gardening as well as using the Greenstalk brand. In purchasing three of these towers I have both the Mover base with wheels and two of the Spinner base with wheels. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Spinner base with wheels because I can literally turn the tower with three fingers easily!! Turning the Mover base, although it is not difficult, it does require both hands and more effort. After three weeks of this comparison, I purchased another Spinner base with wheels and will be placing one of my larger pots on the Mover. That particular plant will not require turning. I did buy one support brace but have not set it up yet. I will attach it to my Original tower where my deeper root crop will go!

Great video! I just purchased a greenstalk during their BF sale. I have since filled the bottom 4 tiers with Dwarf snap beans and the top with kale. I'm afraid I'll regret not buying the supports as well! Fingers crossed the beans are short enough to not need support for now🤞🏾 have you grown potatoes in yours yet? I'm thinking about trying that next.

Great idea... Wondering how your yields (esp fruiting plants) compares to potted plants?

Greetings Becoming Farm Girl, I was wondering if I can use the Green Stalk indoors on my closed in sunroom, I don't have an outdoor space at all, I live in a 55 and up community, HOA doesn't allow it they're concerned about attracting wild life that could pose a danger to some of the older folks here.

I have dreams of a hanging garden of Babylon with vegetable and fruit/flowers and will use these to help create the look. I didn’t realize they help with bugs outside so thats good to know, did they help reduce disease? Im with you on the growing bags, I couldn’t recommend them, way too much watering. Have you looked into orya water pots for some of your larger containers? Those are amazing. Thanks great video!

@BecomingaFarmGirl

2 жыл бұрын

Hey SmallTown Homestead! The description of your dream to have a hanging garden using fruit and vegetables gave me such vivid imagery! Wow--that's going to be stunningly beautiful. I really wanted grow bags to work because they support great root development but, from late June to mid August, they are water guzzlers and I still needed cages or garden pole supports for each container. I haven't thrown them away in hopes of passing them along to someone else or repurposing them. And yes, growing vertically is the best way to prevent disease because you have better air movement (better ventilation diffuses disease particles floating around in the air) aren't fighting as many soil borne diseases because less soil is exposed in your planer, and have virtually no ground walking pests bringing in external variables! It's the healthiest my garden has ever been and, since I make my own fertilizers, I noticed that despite growing the most I ever have this year, I used fewer applications of worm castings, none of my tomatoes, peppers or eggplant had blossom end rot (although I did feed them tons of calcium and it was a dryer season than last). I am only familiar with orya pots from other channels I watch and I certainly could see myself exploring them in the future, but for the cost/space I don't see it as a practical solution for me right now. But, speaking of clay pots, I am interested in repurposing a few of the ones I have to make a zeer clay pot fridge to see how that system works as a long term food storage system. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I'm new to your channel, I'm glad I found you. I don't know if you've said it in any of your videos, but you haven't mentioned it in the ones I've seen so far. I'm just curious what growing zone you are in? I'm looking forward to more of your videos!

Do you have a video of exactly what you put in these, like step by step? I know that’s a big ask but I’m curious to know logistically how to plant.

Hi Cassandra. What kind of garden soil and fertilizer do you use?

I've got 2.5 acres of land I wantro inherit from my grandpa and re-vamp the house. They had a garden, but Im not sure how they did it. I'll ask my Grandpa, but I was thinking of vertical gardening bc although it'll cosg more than the free dirt I have, With fixig an old house it'll be easier

Love your channel, but would like to know what area of the country are you in?😊

I have not had much success with my greenstalk. I had a very small potato harvest. Two lunchbox pepper plants that only produced 2 or 3 peppers each, and just lagged behind my other pepper plants. And lots of failed green bean plants. What did I do wrong!? How often did you fertilize?

Weird question but when you stack the layers is there a gap between them or do they fit snug. I’m in texas and don’t want to create a snake hiding spot

What if you have to grow it indoors? We have a backyard but we also have squirrels, cats, and raccoons

@BecomingaFarmGirl

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Nakisha! Good question (I had this too). Here's what I've experienced...many of the harmful bugs are the land based and so, growing vertically really reduces your exposure to the "harmful bugs"-It's also incredibly easy to use the greenstalk supports to full drap covering over your garden (for shade during the summer or to extend your growing season during cooler months). I'm also intentional about planting a variety of crops that attract and repel bugs alongside my plants. The comparison on the health between what I grow in my small raised bed to what I get in my GreenStalks is night and day!

Oh... pure olive oil does not freeze.
