I know this video is 2 yrs old, but I'm so glad I found it today. I can't afford containers for gardening, but I can get boxes from work and bags at the hardware store. thank you for sharing this.
I totally agree. I just found it yesterday and was so excited. I am trying to do an organic garden and it is just so expensive even starting with seeds. This will really help.
My wife found another benefit to seed starting at home. She sells the extra plant starts. She sold enough to pay for the seeds plus some last year.
How'd she do that?
I oversowed a lot this year lol
@@awsomeman253 you can always just give them away to encourage people to garden and give them some tips. When covid hit I seeded 100 extra starters and gave them to neighbors. Several people offered to pay me but I took trade instead, one neighbor offered to help me take out the brick in my yard so I’d have more growing space and a couple others did some heavy lifting, moving things that I was going to pay someone to do. This year I’m going to sell the flower starters and give away 2 vegetable starters per family, anything over, they can buy. Not sure what to charge.
@@kangakong , check your local nursery, if half size plant lower the price.
I give my extra seedlings to friends and family. Then get to hear how well their garden grows from plants I started.
Way to go! Nurseries are far too overpriced, been doing the same for years!
I took some shingles to the dump and apparently some landscapers had just left. They had dumped about 24 large pots. I just threw them in my truck and smiled all the way home!
Wow! lucky you!🥳
Before I found this channel I was moping around about the cost of pots and containers … now I’m just excited!
Grow your own is a revolutionary hobby, truly empowering
I reuse 50- and 25-pound feed sacks as grow bags. The woven plastic fabric type need some drainage added, but last at least two seasons for me. I find them especially well suited to growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, rolling the tops down and filling partially with soil, unrolling as more soil is added. HUGE yields for such a small space, and very easy to harvest.
Can regular folk get feed bags somewhere? Love that suggestion!
@@KCJohn316 Ask anyone who buys bags of feed for any animal. Even large dog food bags could work, if you wipe off the greasy inside. It doesn’t take long to have more bags than you need. I always felt bad if I didn’t at least reuse mine as trash bags.
I use my 45 lb size dog food bags for the excess junk mail...think I’ll now save them for planting. Thanks for a wonderful idea!
@@KCJohn316 AMAZON has burlap feed bags
Great idea!!!
In September of 2021, I moved and broke down all the boxes from the move and stuck all the boxes, inside the biggest box.
I was planning on buying some lumber, nails ect, until I seen your video on uses.
Dan, you are a genius and I want to thank you for all your money saving information, on growing crops. I could have spent hundreds of dollars on just raised beds.
Thanks again Dan, may God bless you and keep you is my prayer for you! 👍
That box planter is genius!
I just realized your voice reminds me of the Motel 8 commercial guy. “And remember, we’ll leave the light on for you.”
Great idea. Just remembered my neighbor has about 20 milk creates in his garage he wants to get rid of, from the prevous owners. I might put a 7 gallon grow bag inside.
The milk crates would be good if you wanted to move the plants around.
You could even plant one crate and place on top of another for raised planters!
Way before plastic totes were available when we camped your box w/plastic was what we put clothes and supplies in! Brings back happy memories!
I like the way you repurpose the cardboard box! Thank you!
Now this is a brilliant idea. Pots are expensive and I am always looking for ways to plant whatever I have stolen from other people. Thank you for furthering my criminal career lol
Dan! Your tips are saving my actual life right now! I In these times I've been trying to figure out how to grow more of what my family needs and the space that I have and with the amount of money that I have to spend and you are definitely hitting everything that I need to know.. And for that I am forever grateful.
Wow I'm surprised the title didn't try to imply that gardening stores are trying to trick me or don't want me to know something. I can't speak for others but I am more likely to watch videos with honest titles. Thank you for the great content and please keep the honest titles coming
I hate the ones that say I have been doing something wrong all my life.
I agree with you. At my age, I’m avoiding EVERYTHING that lies to me.
This is genius. And I was just going to take all my boxes to the recycle. Definitely gonna try.
Wow! I saw your video in the nick of time. I was about to go out and spend $$$ on plastic totes. Instead, I ordered sand bags from TSC for $50. I am tickled beyond belief! Thank you!
The unusual varieties is what ultimately got me into gardening. Started with Fall Gold raspberries and now I've gotten like a dozen raspberry/blackberry varieties alone not counting the dozens of other species we have.
I so want to try berries. I can't imagine how satisfying it must be to harvest those.
@@whaiknot I'd recommend using inaturalist to source rare fruits from nearby. It'll be much more affordable and depending on where you are it should be possible to get really nice berries.
Thank you for the low an cheap ways to do things at 65 an live on less than 500 a month you have given me amazing information.. Blessings
Thank you so much. I have been staring at my plants for days now and wondering which CZcams method to make a self watering container. Your video provided the answer. No carpentry tools needed.
I just can't get enough of your videos. They're very addictive. Thanks for all you do to inspire us.
I love chayote. One vine will het massive in hawaii. With no care pretty much never dies and when it does it just comes back like a weed from the ones that dropped on the ground. Another cool gourd is kabocha which is like a giant butter nut squash. And you can make instruments out of them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ! you make me feel like I can do anything! And inexpensively. On fixed income. So miss a garden.
Such savings and I love the burlap look….reminds me of the 100lbs sacks of potatoes dad use to deliver to his customers.
I have just moved to an acreage with my son and although I have been gardening for years I am needing to stay up off the ground as much as I can, or I have to make a plan to get up, somehow. My new landlord has cattle and told me that i can use whatever i find, course I'll always ask first. I now have 10 old mineral tubs, loads of straw and my son brought home 2 wonderful large wood boxes to use for beds also. I've been gathering branches and sticks and cardboard for filler. I am so excited to continue to gardening and not have to get down on the ground, at least not much. Thanks for all of your advice.
Make sure you grab the nightcrawlers that you find too . They work great in the soil in your plants . I did it with my bucket gardening last year . Twigs , leaves and worms . It let me not need to use as much soil too . Happy gardening 🧑🌾
BRILLIANT! I live on solid rock. I usually beg the local ranchers for their plastic feed buckets and also use my chicken feed bags but this is an additional alternative and you are not limited to the size you can make (depending on the size of your cardboard box). I will be using this!
Thank you so much! I am a new gardener and this is has been so helpful! People like you is what make the world a better place, by sharing your knowledge and encouraging people!
Thank you for this info. Brilliant! I felt like I couldn't start because I couldn't afford the containers and soil and seeds. This is perfect.
I like that word growing.Your garden will improve your personal power and outlook🎉
I made aquariums this way over 40 years ago for raising tropical fish. Works a treat.
Man I can’t thank you enough for sharing this knowledge, I’ll do my best to share your channel so people can understand the carbon footprint they’re leaving behind and feel the therapeutic benefits of gardening, thanks to gardening I quit drinking and smoking 2 years ago!
Good for you. I tell people that it is very therapeutic to garden and grow your own food.
congrads on the sobriety, I did that 23 yrs ago when I was helping my grandparents on their farm..
Congratulations!
@@iriswilliams5621 ty
Fantastic money saving tip! I have grabbed cardboard boxes a number of times when I need a temporary planter but I've never considered trying to make the box last longer by wrapping it!
WOW!! I can't thank you enough for this video! I finally made it to the country after years of dreaming of growing my own food, but I've been struggling with exactly how to do it. I was thinking of doing raised beds, but kept leaning towards containers while I figure out the best place for certain plants and become more experienced with gardening. I didn't know how I was going to afford decent-sized containers, and also didn't want my yard to look junky. Thanks to you, I now have a solution!! This is the first of your videos I've watched, but I am now subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more! Thank you again!!
Great ideas! I was just about to go buy a bunch of five gallon grow bags (and where I live, they are Not cheap). But this system offers so much more in the way of water control. Thanks for the info, the testing, and the video!
You can always use those re-usable grocery bags from Walmart or any grocery store. They are made from recyclable water bottles. Many people use them for growing plants and they are like a dollar a piece.
@@eastcoastwilly1373 I save my bottles all my seeds go in the I get a 60p drink then reuse the bottle for seeds saves on trays lids and propagaters
@@eastcoastwilly1373 Little concerned about plastic leeching and uv breakdown of the plastic. Ill have to check out what kind of plastic trashbags are made from.
@East Coast Willy brilliant! I saw a video using Ikea bags, but I've got the grocery ones already. Definitely going to try, thankies!
Great idea. I did this back in the late 60's but didn't think about making a drain hole. Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks for economic gardening and home grown abundance. Dan H
I love a good cheap and effective garden hack. Keep the thrifty garden tips coming!
Genius! Can’t wait for my plants to be big enough to try. Thanks!
Great idea. A couple of years ago I needed more room for Swiss chard seedlings and Ancho peppers. I used those heavy boxes some fruit and veg are in at Aldi. Placed in the garden area they worked as make shift raised beds. They become compostable after a couple years.
This is such a brilliant idea. Finally CZcams has suggested something useful for me that I want to watch, and I subscribed. Thank you!
You, Sir, are an absolute cast iron GENIUS.
I m subscribing.
Sweet Lord you are AWESOME!!! Can’t thank you enough for this posting as we are on a super tight budget here . Will help feed my family , love the tips ! New subscriber - sharing this info ! Thanks again - your a blessing !
The boxes are a great idea. One year on my balcony I made a trough out of 1-inch pvc pipe and lined it with those bags and filled it with water. I placed bags of topsoil I got cheap at home depot and punched hundreds of tiny drain holes in the bottom of the dirtbags and placed them in the trough. The plants grew great. the water dried up every 3 days so no mosquitos.
I am so happy I found your videos. They are very informative and useful. I absolutely love that you provide tips that are affordable. Thank you!
I do this and I use scrap lumber from discarded pallets to help set the form of the cardboard box. I love you drainage holes, so much better than mine
I'm so glad to stumble upon your channel this morning. This is very clever way to gardening on a budget. Patio gardening to the green house & beyond. The possibilities.........
The burlap is more than I need, despite it's many uses. Can you recommend a smaller amount of burlap. Doesn't burlap have a strong odor? Can burlap be used as a seed barrier in a small garden bed?
I really loved the water spigot pulled out like that. If you needed to or wanted to, you could probably put a clothespin on it to hold a little back, or even tie it off with cordage. How fun! You could tier step them to water each other. Put your water lovers on top and ladder down. BRB, gotta go play outside. Thanks for the ideas.
Perfect timing!! Think moving boxes...oh boy! Going to do this. Thanks.
I just used that method for my 3 kittens litter box. Of course without the holes. They are outside cats (friendly strays) I got fixed so I'm keeping them in my walk-in shower until they recover from their surgery since I don't have a real litter pan. I hadn't thought to cover boxes for potatoes so thanks.
Brilliant. Now you should put an inverted pot inside to save potting mix and maintain a moist air pocket. Then daisy chain a bunch of boxes together via 1/4" drip irrigation to a 55 gallon barrel and set up a yogurt container float valve a la Dr. Kratky style.
I was thinking of something along the same concept, except maybe using a control bucket with float stop for setting the water level at about 3 inches and then chaining all the boxes together on a level surface. I would use the boxes as sub irrigated planters, with 4 inch perforated drain hose in the bottom to leave a 1 inch air gap in the drain hose. An overflow hole at about 3.5 inches in each box to prevent flooding from heavy rains. A simple rain barrel could supply the control bucket with water, no need to check water level on each individual box if chained together. No standing water in the boxes for mosquitoes to breed if used as sub irrigated planters. Like the idea of Kratky float to chain together boxes not on level ground, or if some boxes require other levels of water.
I was thinking more of putting a couple of used plastic Folger coffee cans in the bottom with holes in them to hold water for longer duration between watering.
I wish I knew what you meant, but I do better with pics
@@molliescreations4497 I’m with you…. I love the brilliance of this but do need pictures of what was mentioned above.
Example please. 😍
I love diy I planted potatoes in catfood n dogfood 40lb bags, azure standard 25lb bags in 5 gallon buckets, I used dollar tree containers, n egg cartons too
Some clumping cat litter comes in big buckets too. I haven't planted in them yet, but they've been quite useful for all kinds of other things!
I am grateful for fresh grown veggies & fruits from our garden each summer. I am thrilled to watch your ideas & tips Dan! Thank You, I look forward to learning more gardening brilliance! 🐝🦋🪴🍀
I'm so happy I found your channel. I live in the city and have no yard at all. I have a deck and a paved area about the size of a parking space, so I will be using that area and your method here to get back to gardening! It's the best therapy there is! Thank you!
Is this legit? Do you really do giveaways?
@@lizperrella666 No, that is spam.
great use of the cardboard boxes!! I have several I can do that with that are just laying around waiting for another move - excellent recycle tip. dont forget those styrofoam coolers also!! I was going to go get some of those until you said yours are cardboard. Sometimes I cant see the trees because the forest is far too engrossing! excellent drain. I am currently working on a smaller compost bucket with a screw on lid for my patio. I already have the caster wheels to spin it on and the old wood to knock together to set it up. I am so grateful for folks like you who post common sense stuff to make my life less expensive! you get my creative juices flowing. I have used those same smaller tubs - great for strawberries and other small crops. and I did finally give in and buy another portable sewing machine to sew my own grow bags! thanks for sharing :)
lots of people are also using those tall, white, holey laundry baskets for strawberries. I see it everywhere now.
Dan, Thank you for all the cost saving ideas. It really helps those of us with tight budgets.
You solved a container issue for me! I have only just started watching your channel, and I am hooked! Thank you for sharing your gardening expertise and ideas.
I have contractor bags. YESSS!!!
I just made my first self watering box and it went well. Thanks for posting your idea. This will work great in my garden. I really appreciate it!
This is ingenious! Thank you for sharing. I’m looking for large containers and was going to go with storage totes but I love that this is more cost effective and I already have these items on hand :)
I followed your link to amazon for the straw. I ordered yesterday and received it today. So happy for all the tips you give , very much appreciated. Take care and blessings to you and Alice.
Lovely project! And a great use for boxes. Any eclectic container that can hold earth is a must in my yard. Please keep the videos coming 🤩🤩
Can't wait to get started with this idea, it's cheap and there's nothing like home grown vegies, herbs and fruits
Thank you so much for this video. I was just sorting out pricing for all different shapes and sizes of pots when I now have everything in my garage. Thanks again!
I love the burlap around the box that will look very nice in the garden.
What a great idea. Perfect for my budget. Thank you.
This is a awesome idea, my wife and I just moved to New house and she said she wanted to build garden beds..this idea will save me $$ for sure
what an inspiration!, I love using easily found materials like this. great ideas thank you
Just wondering if you worry about the chemicals of the trash bag leaching into the soil etc.?👀 I like your helpful information and hints. Thank you for your time
I was thinking the same thing.
I was thinking the same thing.
My personal thinking is this: the chemicals typically are used to kill bacteria and after a while it will disappear. And your plants root system typically shoot downwards towards water source if your using the method in the video of watering from the bottom. Hope this helps.
Idk what trash bags you use but mine don’t contain chemicals. It’s a bag for trash. That’s it.
@@tylerhorton9807 Everything contains chemicals 😂
So clever! I'll be doing this method here soon, bravo and thank you!!! I love the little drain! Keep up the good work, your plants are looking AMAZING!
Thank you for making this video you saved me bunch of money. God Bless you my friend! I love watching your videos you give so much inspiration to people like me that doesn't have very much experience with gardening, being disable is hard to run all the time to buy groceries.
I've Learned More about gardening on a budget than any other place online. It's my first growing season and I will continue to binge watch. Happy to learn and SUB...Thanks so much!
Very good idea!Years ago,I made single season grow bags with old coffee bags,cut in half,and sewn at the bottom like the bottom of large soda bottles. I placed them on pallets,and put them in my mini greenhouse.If the bags would have held together,I could have used them next year.Oh well,we got vegies for cheap,and I got to scratch my gardening itch.I am going to try this!
I am amazed with how you think of these ideas!!!
That idea of drainage was brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to start the garden for this year & I will definitely use your ideas. Wishing you happy gardening and plentiful crops!
What a great idea. With online ordering, I always have empty boxes. I was about to go purchase a bunch of totes for a wicking setup this year. Not after watching this video.
Thank you for sharing.

To learn more gardening, but eat some of your wife's Asian cooking. I am sure with the variety of food you grow she cooks up a smorgasbord. Lol Be so Blessed Brother and Sister
OMG what a brilliant idea and VERY cost effective. I sold my house and had to remove my whole garden so I am starting over again completely at my new location. Thank you for such a great idea. The drain whole is exceptional and brilliant.
Thank you for sharing all of these brilliant cost savings ideas.

Voila!
@@pamh.5705 there it is!
Wow. Great idea. I’m just seeing this now. What I’m going to do, I am going to use the bags that the birdseed comes in, instead of the sandbags , for the wicking container. I have a lot of these, and was trying to figure out how I should use them in the garden and you have just given me a great idea. Thank you very much.
I just found ur channel about a month ago and I just want to thank you your content is truly awesome!!!
