  • I did a strange thing a few years ago and it has worked well. My mother in law had lived with us for a while before her dementia got worse. When she had to move to a nursing home I discovered some adult diapers left behind. I took them, ripped them apart partially and placed them below root level in my planters. They helped maintain moisture better than any commercial product. They also last a couple of years and continue working. Since then I have bought a package of cheap “diapers “ and they especially work well in hanging planters.

However, I’m desperate to be able to do all the things I used to enjoy before I got married. Gardening and having a nice yard is a huge priority. I’m not talented so I appreciate people like you who have visions for being able to see things in ways that are not the intended use. The file cabinets were amazing!! How you planted the strawberries made me want to run to the dollar store and buy every cocoa liner and basket in sight 😆😂. You have a new subscriber here and I’ll be watching your previous videos to catch up. I’m the most excited to see how your strawberry plants grow in the coming months. God Bless 🧡 Lorie 😊

  • Very cool garden. I used to go to food giveaways and ask them if I could have the old produce,especially the ones that have seeds in them. The rest I brought home and threw them in my mulch pile.I had a crazy amount of free seeds and rich black mulch from all the produce waste. I turned ugly dressers on the side of the road into planters. Didn't matter if it was kinda busted.I just turned the ugly dressers on their backs and filled the pockets with good dirt and mulch. You can even hang old boots from a clothesline and fill with mulch and plant plants. Hope this helps the poor who have little of anything. Remember if you even ask for a glass of water at a restaurant, you ask for lemon and there is your seeds once again. ❤

  • I up cycled my co workers mineral tubs he has for his cattle, he gave me the pic of all the ones piled up behind his barn, I got 50! I now have 28 tomato plants and growing 10 bush green beans in each under my tomato plants and I have 20 bell peppers I ordered more bush green beans to plant under those also, have cauliflower and broccoli growing and will be harvesting my larger onions this weekend, I over winter my onions and made a huge difference in the size of my onions. Same with garlic. Once I harvest and get them laid out to cure I will be putting in my squash and zucchini. I grow Swiss chard as it doesn’t bolt in my texas heat but grows 10 months out of the year and my hens love it right along with myself. Sweet potato slips going in this weekend😊 the Lord is good always

    • Just a hint for you....if you line the bottom half with the plastic from a compost bag inside the coir liner and cut through both to plant through it can help with water retention (and you can make use of the plastic compost bags too). You can use the same idea for anything that is porous to help with water retention as long as you remember to poke in some drainage holes.🙂

Plus, Neem can harm the endocrine systems of pollinators and kill the beneficial predatory insects that eat things like aphids and lacewings.

    • ​@@ourfreedomsongSorry for multiple comments. About companion plants- strong smelling herbs like Rosemary and Basil are great for deterring pests while still attracting predatory insects. You just gotta make sure that your chosen companion plant can vibe with your other plant. For example, Rosemary and Basil shouldn't be planted together because they have different moisture and sun requirements. Rosemary loves lots of sun and dryer soil, while Basil is a drama queen...haha! It prefers indirect bright light during morning and evening hours and moist, but not soggy, soil. Marigolds are similar to Rosemary or tomatoes because they like the same kind of soil, water and sun. I apologize to everyone who hates the word moist. It's the only word that makes sense here 😂

    • As someone who also gardens with Sierra deer, just a thought on growing up fences: if the spaces in the wire are big enough for deer to get their noses through, they will happily eat what's available once the wild green stuff dies down. You can put old shade cloth (probably can scavenge from a neighbor) on the front, or, once a crocheted a net to put in front out of mason twine, lasted about 10 years. And old volleyball net could do it, too-- it's an opportunity for creativity! And to feed the deer, you can toss some weeds outside the fence.

  • 5:00 I ran out of planters one year and planted strawberries in Amazon boxes. Just put the soil into the boxes and they lasted all through the season and actually were still sitting there ready to be used the next year. I could have made it more like a strawberry planter if I had cut holes around the boxes. I used to think everything had to be just so and had to have all the right tools and containers, but it is easy to become resourceful!

  • I love your ideas! I’m getting more windmills! :-) Strawberry planter ideas are so awesome. You are fun!!! You could even plant the extra strawberries around the inside fence line. They will spread and can collect repopulated strawberries the following year.

  • 27:55 What a great idea! I wish I'd known about this when I had blueberries and figs. All my blueberries and figs have died on me. 🤥 The only thing I have done to keep the birds, etc. away is to put plastic forks upside down in the soil next to the stem of the plants. Also put shiny things in the plants like small Christmas ornaments, etc. I kept digging and planting $35-$30 fig trees and $10 blueberry bushes and I should've just bought a little container of fruit at the grocery store.

  • I love your garden and have had a couple of different non profit gardens that helped with cancer and health issues!! We got very creative with each garden and did similar things with our gardens!! We also had everything eatable in the garden!! We planted beautiful eatable flowers throughout the garden and it was so pretty and fun for others knowing that everything they could eat if they wanted to try it. Another thing we did!! Making garden furniture out of pallets that we found in the garbage piles from households getting rid of things that we used and made several useable garden boxes and things that made our gardens very fun and beautiful!! I love how you think with all of the different types of planters in your garden that makes it fun to grow things in and fun to walk through with your creations of interest!! Great fun as you keep your overhead down and your creativity up!! 👍🏼🥰❤️🤠🫶🏻🌻

  • What are the main reasons your birds go after your vegetables is because they just want the water in them. If you put a birdbath in the middle of your garden, the birds will stay away from your plants. While your birds are drinking the water, they’ll see the insects in your garden and they’ll eat them.

  • I love repurposing stuff in my garden as well. I got really excited to hear that you used a filing cabinet. I did, too. My dad had one that was in 3 sections with glass fronts. I am using them as cold frames. I love that you used the wheelbarrow as a planter. I intend to do that with my old one as well. I can't push a wheelbarrow, and it has a flat tire, so I figured I'd give it a new job. My favorite that you showed us though is the greenhouse. That's amazing! You did a fabulous job. Thank you for sharing.
