I used totes to plant things in and I'll show you how I do that in a moment it
says you're supposed to add the water slowly so we'll see what happens
oh boy this looks like it might not work I can't imagine this is gonna work all
right I'll get back to you a little bit
absolutely amazing it works amazing so I just keep adding a little more water to
it breaks up all the dirt one of these blocks is almost a whole wheelbarrow
nine
Hey so I'm going to show you another method to do this that is taking your
block and putting in it in a plastic bag that comes with it
and you let the bag and the water and unite everything
you let the bag and the water and everything soak in there
that's another way you can do it so that's method number two method number
one is using the wheelbarrow and then you guys see if everything is finished
because I'm ready to get these things planted all right now you're supposed to
use the inoculant and you're supposed to add that to it now I'll break up that
little clump yet but we're supposed to add this to it
all right I'm gonna mix it with my shovel a pitch for it I'm not gonna use
my hand it says you can use your hands but I don't want to do that so now we're
just gonna mix this all up this has some nitrogen in it I mean look at all of
this this one block made all this dirt it wasn't heavy it came to me in the
mail this stuff is absolutely amazing so if you don't want to have to go and get
some heavy potting soil this stuff is amazing love it
all right now I'm going to go ahead and put it in one of my planters better than
the one where you're using that plastic bag that's taking forever I really like
this method much better
all right it's a little bit of work to do it I'll have to admit that very nice
I'm very impressed with the whole thing now this one go take a while
takes a while but that will soften up as well I figured one block will do one of
these totes and I figured about right
you this next clip was previously recorded
actually I think it was two years ago but I thought it was very fitting to add
it to this video because it shares with you what totes I use and how I make my
container gardening so I hope you enjoy this part of it I think a lot of you
probably never seen this video as it is so old but yet the wisdom and all the
things that I share with you are the same today as it was back two years ago
I got these big totes for eight of them with the lids for $40 I got him this
winter and I didn't get him to store things and I got him to plant things in
and I'll just show you how we do it first thing we got to do is we got to
make sure we have drainage holes so we're gonna flip up the tote and there's
two round circles on your tube and what you're gonna do is you're gonna take a
knife and we're gonna make little holes in the bottom of our tote now it doesn't
have to be big holes because a small hole water would drain from it very
nicely alright so we got our hole in the bottom of her too now we're gonna go
ahead and we're gonna fill it with dirt and I'm gonna show you what we fill it
with I got this garden dirt at Tractor Supply for five dollars and it got it in
the middle of the winter time so what we're gonna do is we're gonna take half
this garden dirt and we're gonna put it in both of our totes and I'll show you
what it looks like what I'm done right so now what we're gonna do is we're
gonna add some other dirt to it because this is garden dirt so now we're gonna
add some other potting soil dirt to it
we're gonna fill these totes up to the top and then I'm going to show you what
we're gonna plant in them I already have five totes done on the deck some have
carrots some have cucumbers some have spinach in it and I'll show you what
we're gonna make with these tips so we're gonna fill it up with the rest
this potting soil
there it looks really good now so what we're going to do work one is this tote
it's going to have our tomatoes in it now these I grew from seed back in March
so we're gonna put tomatoes in this tote
so we're just gonna make little holes like this and we're gonna put all these
tomatoes in now they're rooted really well so these are patio tomatoes so
these tomatoes are actually made to go into a pot look at the nice routing
system they have so we're gonna go ahead pop all these out and we're gonna plant
them in the tote and then I'm gonna show you what it looks like when we're
finished so there we go we have one container done with our patio tomatoes
and we have asked you total stake which I will share in a making a description
box every time I use something on a video you will see the link to it in the
description box so if you're looking for a product that I'm using go ahead and
check out the links so we're gonna stick our nice little steak right here and
there we go my friends and there you go my friends that's how you can make a
beautiful patio garden in a container garden so I'll pair my camera and I'll
show you all the different things that we have planted in these totes I have
one more tote yet to have plant not sure what I'm gonna plant in it but maybe
it's gonna be some more carrots so Kay take care everyone I will see you guys
tomorrow so here we got some lettuce and this of course you've seen before here's
my carrots sweet peas my cucumbers
and the tomatoes that we just did now I've got to do my other totes see you
another frugal tip so do you like this beautiful hanging baskets that you see
at the lawn and garden stores do you know they want anywhere from fifteen to
twenty-five dollars we were pricing them because we thought
it would be nice to have some hanging baskets
well the story we were at one at twenty-five dollars for them now I'm
going to share with you how you can do it for a lot cheaper than that so we
went looking around now they didn't have these out where you can easy find them
because they don't want people doing what we're gonna do we got our own
hanging baskets for a dollar sixty nine they didn't have many of them and they
were on the lowest shelf way in the back of the store so we got these and we got
our geraniums for three dollars apiece so three six nine and a dollar sixty
nine we're gonna do a hanging basket for ten dollars a little over ten dollars
and that is a lot cheaper than twenty-five so there you go my friends I
did it for a lot less than I hope you enjoyed this are the frugal tip there's
some other videos that I thought you might enjoy and they're all gardening
videos take care everyone and we'll see you guys tomorrow
