Just bought mines for 81$ at Walmart on clearance

I wish Donny was MY neighbor! You are very fortunate to have such a talented friend, Mr. Stephen.

😁

Thank you for your video very helpful

Beautiful build!! I'm in zone 3 Wisconsin and I built a cattle panel house 3 years ago for my daughter's chickens. I have a few suggestions. 1st when you close up for the season give the ridgepole some support. Most winters you won't need the support. Our first winter was a normal winter and the structure held up beautifully 👍. The winter of 22/23 was a real monster in our area. The house held up great until a freak storm in April squashed it like a bug. No chickens living there at the time. 2nd the people that owned my home before me left a roll of reflective livestock fence fabric. Its not expensive and worked great for securing the plastic. Much easier on the plastic than any ropes. It spreads out the pressure. 3rd put a vent on each end above the doorway. Your end walls and doorways are much nicer than mine. I'm a hack 😊. Lastly I think putting rebar in the plastic is brilliant!! You guys did real good 👍

I'm an 8B but we still get plenty of freezing weather and I could sure use something like this.

That is awesome. How early and later does that extend your growing season where you are?

Thank you so much for this video , love the step by step how to , great job !

At 5:04, why are you screwing into the center of one of the pipes? I thought the concept was to screw it the other way around to support the barrier from falling in.

How successful is this method?

Thank you for exploring the economics of filling a raised bed . I tried a mix of twigs and small brush with the leaves at the base to resolve the compacting issue I had in past. Also no cardboard. Small amount of composted manure added to the thin top layer of "recycled" potting soil. Lettuce and green beans did very well, and amazingly two vigorous tomato plants.(from New England USA)

I love this video and am sharing it with my Vegucators group in the St. Tammany Master Gardeners, Louisiana. Thank you!

Does it come with a cover? If not, where can you get one?

Please just stop You have no idea what a tower is or why to use them It is NOT pails

Interesting application for no till gardening.Super demo sir.

Ok I missed something here. What is the wick? Looks like osmosis, since nothing appears to wick the moisture into the soil. How does the water wick into the soil?

I have used the 2 bucket wicking buckets now for 10 years. At first I would remove the potting soil every fall and save it in barrels and refill the buckets in the spring. Now I don't even remove the soil in the fall. I dump out the water reservoir pull out the root mass and let the potting soil freeze dry over the winter. In the spring they are nice and dry, I just amend the soil with my new recipe (it changes from year to year, depending on the CZcams vids I watch over the winter). In a 5 gallon bucket I grow two Tomato plants (determinate or indeterminate no difference in the space they need or water requirements). I will also plant 4-5 cucumber plants in a 5 gallon bucket and 3 pepper plants. by using this method for these plants, my tomatoes will grow taller than my garage roof (15ft) and my cucumbers will get 12ft tall before I run out of trellis to anchor them too. Location is Saskatchewan Canada, zone 3B.

Good video!! I live in a mobile home. My bedroom gets very warm. I grew yellow cherry tomatoes in my south facing bedroom window. All in 4 gallon buckets. My fruit production was weak. Im a rookie at this and im sure the plants needed nutrition. On the other hand in the coldest part of winter i had beautiful plants to admire.

I love watering my plants to much I make all my plant food and spend as much time with my plants as I can

I just ordered one of these exact fire pits from Walmart. Received it yesterday afternoon and assembled it, looking forward to using it on the fourth if it doesn’t rain here! Thanks for the video!

Can you harvest the pea Sprouts a second time after the first cut? And how do you keep the peas out of water when you put it on the bottom tray? Or are they immediately submerged in the water?

Very nice

This was the best test I've seen so far on CZcams. Most people don't specify they are growing an indeterminate variety in their tower. Thanks! I look forward to seeing if you come up with something else to make it even better. 😊

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for a clear explanation!

My fire pit is the same as yours, but the rod is to big and will only sit at highest level

Thank you for this video.I was waiting for the result ✌️

Nice find guys. A lesson for us all to build things sturdy.

Thanks for the video, how are the welds after a couple of years?

So glad to see another video! I hope you are well. I look forward to your wise economical videos. They are so easy to relate to. Thank you. More please!

Very informative! This kind of collapse right here is exactly why I decided to go with a separate, buried "cistern chamber" (basically, a perforated, upside down container with a filler pipe) on my wicking tub, instead of an Earthbox-style false bottom like that. Water is dense and even the lightest, fluffiest potting mix can get VERY heavy when saturated with it. Even with the added screws on the later versions, that flimsy plastic could still collapse. I'm surprised this one lasted 4 years before it failed.

How does it hold up outside in the rain? I've been seeing reviews that it rusts out quickly

I just used a cat litter jug. I actually have same tub.

Very helpful video. Thank you

I help kill off soil gnats, fungus and weed seed by putting the moist planting mix in 1-gallon zip-lock brand FREEZER bags, leave a corner open . Lay bag flat and Microwave it 2 minutes, flip over, microwave another 2 minutes (should be steamy and warm now), flip and mwave 1-min, flip and mwave another 1minute, seal the zip,ock. As the steam collapses, the bag will appear to be 'vacuum packed', this way you can tell if it is still sanitized or not after storage.

meadow creature makes the deepest broad forks14- and 16" deep on the market . a limiting factor fro a 64 year old is shoulder integrity. this new hack which allows deeper broad forking with no shoulder strain : I took a roll of 2" nylon mesh (quite light weight) I cut off approximately 10 feet and tied the ends to the tips of the handles (double half hitch) then sunk the 14" fork as deep into the compacted earh as it would go (this took about 1 minute of intensive rocking as it was so hard . Then I walked back and put the 2" webbing behind my butt then gently threw my butt down and back and the handle effortlessly came back from 90 to about 70 degrees from there gripped the handles and I I effortlessly brought them back to 45 degrees bringing in a satisfying chuck of ground (busting te bard pan)BTW I keep the nylon webbing in place with rubber bands .

What is going to happen next tripple cup method? I am a novice at tomato planting. I got me little tomato plants from grocery store, dug a hole and put some potting mix and watered. The results were good, plenty of tomatoes for my needs. Very basic and novice approach and got good results.

Ooooh I’ve been doing this for years and never thought to just start with a couple inches THANK YOUUU

Double cupping is a waste of time. I use exactly same cups but never double cup them. Place you cupped seedlings in a tray, bottom water them via the tray and that's it.

It is possible that the yield was reduced because the total access to nutrients via volume of soil is lower when in a contained space. I'm curious if anyone knows how far deep and wide that Roots will spread when potatoes are grown in soil good for potatoes but in a traditional Garden row or bed. If potatoes have any kind of fungal relationship with their roots, then potatoes in a traditional garden bed might be able to draw nutrients from much further away than the plant via the way that symbiotic fungus can bring nutrients to the plant. I'm not sure if this happens with certain garden plants but it certainly happens all over the place in a natural ecosystem

That's a lot of plastic there.

Why not just place the planted cups into a solid tray and water into the tray. It’s the same effect, but far less plastic

So you would start these under lights indoors in late Feb or early March? In order to have a growing season that yields? And plant outdoors in early May? Something like that?

If your plants are leggy adjust your grow light. They get leggy cuz they are not receiving enough par, so they stretch to the light.

The trick is to plant new seed potatoes each time you add a level, that way all the levels will have potatoes.

Congratulations!!

What a moron.

Canada is a fire pit. Your commy prime Minister Trudope will soon make burning wood bans because he's a delusional climate Nazi.

Stack them upside down and they will lift easily

Waaaay too many steps needed .... what if you have 100 plants?

I really enjoyed this video and how you did the troubleshooting on video. I also got an answer to my question regarding how to support the base so as not to crush the yogurt tubs I plan on using for the air pocket containers.
