Welcome to Empress of Dirt
I share creative + frugal ideas for making any size garden space unique and wonderful. My own garden began on a budget of just $100 a year and I still love being thrifty all these years later.
My focus is cold climate gardening in hardiness zones 4 to 8 (parts of Canada and the United States).

Hi...what size pump should I use for my 800lb pond/fountain please 🤔
Can you use the gunky padding as a grow bed?
Thank you very much. It's given me an idea of how to kill the infestation of Morning Glory in my back yard that keeps coming back no matter how many times I pull it out by the roots. This method is certainly worth a try.
I just stumbled upon this video and I was wondering, did adding the polymeric sand have the desired effect in the end?
I have a 2000 gallon pond with a waterfall and a pump that pushes the water up to the top. Can I add this method by purchasing a pump and materials and sinking the milk carton in front of the Pump?
The idea is to gradually pass all the pond water through the batting so it can filter out the gunk. There are countless ways to do it.
My sweet cat is 5years we got her at animal shelter had already had kittens they named her Ingrid but we changed that to Miss Bo Jangles she is the best kitty that I have ever had she’s so good she uses her litter box always we’ve changed to the pellets and it’s great she’s a big girl and did go through a lot of clumping litter I believe this is much safer for her 😊😊😊
How often do you have to change the batting?
When it's gunky enough that water doesn't flow through it.
Without refrigeration, it took 3-4 weeks to germinate delphinium in May, Zone 8B. It was my first time, I made it. Now they look very energetic after producing strong root system.
Love this!
red red, wine...
is landscape fabric breathable?
Yes.
Can i use any kind of fabric?
I wish I had found your video years ago when I started my garden. Thank you for sharing.❤
will this help pull grains of sand out of the water, i have some of that that fell in when i was putting it around my preform and i also have been getting some droppings from different faraway trees. does the bigger stuff clump and stick to the filter?
wonderful...i believe these bags would air-prune the roots...blessings

This was amazing. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
This was amazing. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
This is awesome! Are the sheets of batting reusable after rinsing and air drying?
We have used batting in our pond skimmer to clear up the water but I like this idea better
I am so happy I found this video. I will definitely try this. My pond is pea soup and we had to turn off the waterfall because of leaking. The filtering waterfall did an amazing job but the water loss was not worth it in the long run. We unfortunately inherited this problem when we bought the house. It’s so well established that a complete remake is not an interest or worth it. I’ve tried to find ways to bypass the waterfall and recreate a smaller one….. still researching at this point. I do like this method I’ve not seen it before. My pond is 2500 gallons and needs help. I do have a bog filtering system which is helping… 🙌 thank you for the amazing tip!
I'm about to try this now going to the store😊

I have a 2500 gallon pond, made with a vinal liner and have a 3000gallon pump for a waterfall. The water stays murchy. Help¡!!!!!!!
You are doing God’s work! Bless you!!!
I had exactly the same brainstorm now that we have a new steamer - googled and voila, found your video! Thank you! Not quite weed season here, but the snow is quickly melting away! I’ll be ready!
This is one of those hood squirrels that hangs around outside the liquor store during the day. 😊
RABID🤪👹
Great job! So much potential in that creation!
Thank you! It's been a great addition to the garden.
Let yourself go
Sounds like me when I've had one too many 😂
While these are funny I have to suspect these animals are being fed spoiled food with no concern that some may be alcoholics. It is a disease.
Thanks, easy and inexpensive. Looking forward to 'dirt' season!
Can you use styrofoam balls instead?
In my experience they crumble with so many nails inserted.
Sounds like he's laughing crazy like a madman ^^
You ain’t too drunk if you can lay on the ground without holdin on…
Folks don’t appreciate how common it is for wild animals to get inebriated from fermented berries. Years ago in my youth I was grouse hunting in MN. I came across drunk grouse twice. After bagging both birds on separate occasions - which happens in a blink of an eye after an explosive flush - upon replaying the incident in my mind I realized that each bird was not flying correctly before the shot. Upon cleaning the birds, I found their crops to be full of fermented berries. You could smell it. I felt kind of bad about it, like it was not really a clean ethical shot.
*Have a lie down and almost puking to trying to get up and have a walk to having a lie down and humping the floor.* They're very much like us.
THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!
That noise is ANNOYING!!
It’s like the drunk girl getting a dui yelling, “I did nothing wrong you *#^%*€£!”
I found on Amazon 1/4 inch soil sifting sieves. I'm getting this one for $19 which is large and includes work gloves: Wenses Metal Dirt Sifter, 11 x 9 Inch, Galvanized Steel with 1/4" Wire Mesh . I don't work for them or get anything for referring, just being helpfull:)
I have my pump in a cage made of chicken wire, wrapped in polyester fiberfill. When it gets covered in gunk, I take the cage out of the water, hose the gunk off with the jet spray, and put it back in. No need for new fiberfill each time.
I had success with getting my leaves to come up but they have halted their growth. Any ideas? Should I put them back in an terrarium setting?
I had one carolina wren enjoying my suet that I put out in winter. Seemed to like it , spent a good deal of time in the double suet cage.
Unbelievable transformation 😮
Pl not clear how vegetsblesgrow in snow
It seems false how vegetables grow in snow pl explain
FYI - "stove pellets" are just as good, and often cheaper.
So cute and thanks for this because I was thinking of what to do
