I could not have said it better, @RoseBaker! I love Alton Brown's shows for the same reason as Hollis and Nancy's Homestead videos: he explains WHY it works as well as having awesome designs!
Quick suggestion: when you have construction videos like this, it might be helpful to start the video with a brief intro of you showing us the final product. I know for me, seeing it constructed first will better help me contextualize what you’re talking about when you walk us through the measurements and intent with the build. You guys are amazing for sharing so much with us. Sending extra cuddles to the pup!
Good Day @Hollis,Nancy & Bing-Bing... Yes, I recall those containers.. Bring It On Hollis, we're ready to see your marvelous work & sketches as well. Blessings to you all.
Good Lord, you are a marvel, Hollis and Nancy. I find this video so fun to watch as well as the artistic touches of adding music and fast motion. Marvelous! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! I’m about to start some sweet potatoes in giant tubs. My husband thought they were too big of tubs but I told him “That’s how Hollis and Nancy do it!” 😁
My husband just found y’alls channel and we are binge watching every garden videos. Lol. We’re starting our first garden this year and we’re so excited! ❤️
I really appreciate the time you take to do these videos for us. I was able to build one of your 5 gallon bucket tables and will have a 2nd built tomorrow
If you sink those 4x4s a couple feet, and bracket a cattle panel on one side....You could trellis those tomatoes and withstand substantial winds. Awesome build...as usual! I'm going to build so many of your ideas...so many. :D
I finally made this table from your plans! I bought the wood and had it cut at Home Depot. Today I put it all together! Took me a long time cuz this old lady is no spring chicken, but I did it! I may make a couple more of them, after my back stops hurting. 😂 Thank you very, very much for sharing so much of what you do, and in such detail with your plans! Good health and happiness always!
@@juliepoolie5494 it was well worth the effort. Eventually I made two more of them. I plan to very carefully modify the plan in order to make the same type of grow table, but wider, to fit bigger containers. Hollis has other projects, in case you weren't aware. Look them up under grow tables on their Channel . Even if you don't make them, they are very cool, and it's awesome to watch the building of them.
My dad was an engineer and he used to make drawings that looked a lot like yours. Where you also an engineer? I really appreciate your teachings and videos. The Lord has blessed you and through you, us. Thank you, Alex
Blessings beloved Hollys and Nancy, I really really like this design!! Thank God for your lives!! I will save the design for when I move out of the appartment to a house with a backyard. I'm praying for that because I am gardening from a balcony and I wish to grow other veggies and I can't. Keep posting plans like this one. Love in Christ our Lord!! Martha
Your videos are great. You are a very good teacher, Hollis. I like the idea of a container garden, because as I get older, the traditional "dig a row" method is harder and harder. Too much kneeling and bending, to be honest. But working out in the yard really does help to keep things moving, so I would like to try your method. For the past few summers, I have been growing herbs, greens, and tomatoes in pots on my large back porch. This summer, I would like to expand, perhaps to growing peppers and beans in buckets along the back of the garage. We have a huge problem with deer where I live (NW New Jersey). I know people who have a 10 foot fence, and the deer still jump right over. I wonder if these grow tables, properly positioned, would deter deer? They might not want to jump over a fence INTO a garden with these obstacles. Hmm... thinking.... ;) Anyway, your videos are an inspiration. I like the Bible verses at the end. So encouraging. Thank you for that. Also, your little dog is so adorable. Please hug him for me. So cute.
Love your videos! I don't know why it took me so long to find them, but I've got time now to get all caught up ;) I use 5-gal buckets and grow bags a lot on my urban farmstead. I get free pallets and make units from those to hold my buckets, bags, and sacks up off the ground and tip-proof. Just a railing about 6 to 10 inches above the support shelf is all it takes for me, even in the winds we get here in Texas. That free pallet wood lasts me between 3-6 years (if left unpainted) since I use bricks/pavers as footings for the legs. I even get compliments on how handsome and neat they look! Helps me utilize space that otherwise wouldn't be used for growing due to flooding, terrible soil, and extreme slope. They can even be moved and formed into windbreaks if I find the need. I adapted the design to a stair-step configuration and sized it down to make a more decorative unit to hold pretty pots of herbs, ornamentals and houseplants on vacation outdoors. I'm actually making one to put inside my chicken yard so I can swap out some plants that I grow just for them to snack on. Hoping to get some good photo ops from that set up! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
I just found your channel. Thank you for putting this information out. I was raised in rural Alabama and my grandmother tried to teach me a lot of things about growing our own food. I remember some of it but over the years I lost a lot of that information becoming to self reliant on the local grocery store. With all that is going on in the world, I realized that I need to be growing my own food. So i am brushing up growing skills. Thank you for all that you do sharing this. Prayers for you and your family.
Since your pandemic challenge video I’ve grown 5 containers of beautiful lettuce! 🤗 I’m harvesting the outer leaves for the first time tomorrow. I have onions in a bed too that are slowly coming along. I plan to plant some spring garlic this fall!
We really appreciate how detail oriented you are, it helps us who are engineer deficient to follow more efectively... really enjoy Nancy and doggys commentary too, she has a radiant smile... thank you and God bless you both!
I admire everything you build and plant I enjoy your videos since I live on a small apt. love to see your wife and you to do amazing things with the help of nature and God thank you from Miami.
I asked my local bakery for buckets as you suggested in a different video and I got 19 of them!! 😊 I'm so excited to make these grow tables for next year. My buckets are just over 3 gallons so I'll have to make my tables a little smaller. Thank you for all your knowledge and love of sharing it. You and your wife are truly appreciated. ❤
I'll add my two cents -- begin with something. Like Nancy said, even one plant in a pot is better than not growing anything. A few summers ago, I started with herbs in pots on my back porch. I can't even describe how much I enjoyed growing those herbs. It was like a light bulb turned on, because for a few years I had stopped gardening -- I thought I was done, because I could not physically do all the digging and kneeling and bending of traditional gardening. But the pots on the porch brought me back to the joy of growing some of our food. It was so wonderful to go out there and bring in some fresh basil, fresh parsley, fresh dill, fresh chives, fresh cilantro, fresh lettuce, and so on. Our salads were amazing! The next summer, we added some flowers and tomatoes. This year, I would like to add peas, peppers, radishes, and beans. Maybe even potatoes, garlic, and squash, but I don't want to get overwhelmed. I might just grow squash on the compost heap, LOL. But seriously, start with a plant in a pot. Even if you can't (yet) build grow tables, you CAN put a plant (or seed) in a pot on a porch or sidewalk. There is some way that you can grow something, somewhere, and it really is worth it to start. HTH.
I built one of these grow tables yesterday and finished it up today (had to screw in bottom shelf boards). I am so pleased with how it turned out. I modified my table to make it a length of 7 ft because that is the length of wood I had on hand. It holds 4 buckets with plenty of room. I can’t wait to use it in my yard in the spring to plant some potatoes!! Thanks for the great detailed diagram and the excellent video on how to cut and assemble the table! My next project is going to be making a table with a sink like your quail/rabbit harvesting table. I will modify it a bit to fit in my area! I need to go pick up the lumber now.❤
Hollis & Nancy, your channel really blesses my heart. I've moved to the North Georgia mountains and while we get plenty of rain, the ground is hard and quite rocky. Container gardening will probably work for me. Thank you for sharing your ideas! God bless you!
I live in mountains in PA..we have rocks & trees:) Excited to try to container garden but I’m concerned about getting enough sun. I’m wondering if I need a green house.
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead thank you so much! I think my back deck area gets that...it’s south west facing so I’m trying to figure that out too. Looking to build a chicken coop to have some hens. Our family of 8 goes through so much food. I know the Lord will provide but I’ve been seeing for years a “crisis” like this pandemic coming and we are doing what we can and God does give wisdom & provision but I believe we need to prepare so that we can bless others too:). I bought some herbs a month ago and put them in a window garden pot and sadly they did not survive 🤦🏻♀️🤣. It was parsley, basil & mint...i think I can keep chickens alive. Lol I have 6 kiddos so seem to do great at feeding people & our pets. Lol
You will do great once you get everything set up. I always recommend for folks starting a garden to get set up for the next growing season not the current one. So for you, spend your time focusing on getting your beds set up, a couple of grow tables for containers, a small chicken coop and plan to start a fall garden not a spring garden. Be proactive not reactive
Hollis, thanks for this video and measure drawings list. I built 2 of these 2 weeks ago, they look awesome and makes my bucket garden look lots better and organized. Going to build the same type again but adjust the measurements for my 20 gallon tubs. Thanks
@@HollisNancysHomestead now that you had yours up and running for awhile , do you see any sagging in the middle of the stand , I was thinking due to the heat and humidity and the weight of the buckets that a middle support may be needed , this project is in my future !
Hollis and Nancy, Thank you so much for all your videos - you are both indeed an inspiration. We ( my 86 year old mom and I) enjoy watching and learning from you both. My mom loved to garden when she was younger ( and prior to debilitating strokes almost 2 years ago), and she enjoys watching all your videos. God blessing on you both. Thank you for sharing your ad entires with us.
I’m so in love with you guys. I’m building this this week for my buckets of veggies. I’m learning a lot about container gardening from you. First year wish me luck!
Love your channel and knowledge you share! Just built my first container grow rack using your design. Easy build and great addition to our backyard garden. Look forward to more videos
Hi guys , I’ve been busy thanks to Hollis motivation. I’ve written before Mike Garcia from Miami ( a cancer patient 50% wheelchair ridden) well here are my tables so far
This is such a wonderful DIY video. I have stumbled across your channel and I am very happy I did. Thank you to you and your wife for taking the time to show us the simplicity and rewarding efforts of growing our own food. God Bless From Lehigh Acres, FL - Charli
Thank you for the great ideas and calm explanations. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work and brilliant common sense ideas. Blessings to you both.
Quick to build, I put the first together in a couple hours. I put a retractable axel on one end and a coupler on the other end so, if needed, I can move them with my rider. I also used bolts to attach the 2" x 4"s to the ends so I can break them down for winter storage.
Awesome!!! We especially enjoy container gardening. So much easier. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope they really help you this year. Have a peaceful week❤️❤️🐶
Thanks Hollis & Nancy for this great build! I really enjoy growing in 5 gallon buckets. Looking forward to seeing your 5 gallon bucket garden this year.
Do you reuse the same soil in the next season, I am fairly new to this . I have Three raised beds for the last couple of years and I add some good old compost and a lot of TLC Thanks from Southern Ontario
Thank you for all the advice and diagram of building my 5 gal. bucket grow table- just finished yesterday before the rain- it was a challenge for this old 73 yr. old but got er done! only had one clamp but it was a big help. Can't wait to get those buckets full and start planting.
The two of you encouraged me to make one for my container garden! Did it all yesterday and I am so pleased with my results. You made it so easy for me to follow. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I even bought those "high quality clamps" to help me! I love them!
Hi Hollis & Nancy thank you so much for all of your videos. I enjoy them all the time. Very practical table. Enjoy your week, take care. XXX. for Bing Bing, too. 💛👵
That's a great idea 👍😇 thanks for sharing 💝 God bless both of u n ur family ⛪🙏 I used to live in Virginia, Arlington Virginia that is, now in the State of Washington but I can't plant my Thai Basil n some other tropical herbs anymore, I have tried but it won't do well then died 😔
Hollis, I appreciate your ideas and your methods, I cheated with my iPhone and took a screen shot of your drawing, now all I have to do is to bring it up, at the lumber yard, Thanks again, I was having a little trouble keeping my tomatoes from blowing over, this should do the trick. PS make you up some noodle jug lines, very efficient way to get catfish.
❤❤❤❤You both…thank You for sharing how you do things. As always. Please don’t go to those personal websites where you are charging folks a yearly fee…. I refuse to pay for knowledge that I can get in a book or learn from others or my own mistakes…..Love watching you both grow over the years and always helping others. I have learned quite a few things from you both and enjoy your channel…. KEEP ON Sharing😊😊😊😊😊
I'm glad I found your channel and I enjoy your videos. I've already made a few of your projects including the raised beds that you use for onions around your perimeter of your big garden and the dibble boards, one for onions and one for carrots, radishes etc. I've rounded up a bunch of 5 gallon buckets so my next project will be one of these grow tables.
Well done Debbie!!!👍. You are doing fantastic! I am so happy for you and so glad our videos have helped you some. Growing your own food is so important especially with the way the world is now. Keep up the good work and post some pix of your garden on our Facebook page. We would love to see it❤️
You sure make that look easy! Those are great tables for the buckets. Thank you for another great video. I need to get some more tools. God Bless both of you!
You inspired me to give container gardening a try. I wanted a good stable place for them,, so I had someone build a grow bench for me. I had it modified a bit to have a way to trellis and an additional shelf to add in some herbs I'm grown in Fabric pots. I'd like to send you a pic. Thank you so much for the plans as that made the job much easier.
I recently start 5 gallon containers and was wondering why you had the sides on the table, thanks for posting the pics of them after the storm, was good info for us beginners.
I love how Hollis draws the diagrams and explains every thing...he is like the Alton Brown of the garden shows!!!😁❤
Thank you Rose ❤️❤️❤️
I had never thought of it that way, but you are absolutely correct!
I could not have said it better, @RoseBaker! I love Alton Brown's shows for the same reason as Hollis and Nancy's Homestead videos: he explains WHY it works as well as having awesome designs!
Some of these channels are network worthy. This is one of them.
Idk why anyone would dislike any of yalls videos you put so much time and work into it we appreciate the knowledge thankyou
You are the Bob Vila of homesteading Hollis!!!! Well done my friend! Stay Safe Guys!! And Bing Bing to!!
I'm making it! And i'mma 58 year old woman. Thank you for great directions!
As fans who live in Virginia now, these will really be a blessing to us! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Loving this channel already and I only found it thirty minutes ago

I really appreciate the time you take to do these videos for us. I was able to build one of your 5 gallon bucket tables and will have a 2nd built tomorrow
What a great build! Thank you so much for taking time to do this. Hopefully my husband will make me two, if not I can do it!
They are simple to build. Anyone can do it
Just found your channel. I bet a lot of people are interested in growing their own vegetables right now 😄😁
Welcome to the family ❤️. Yes, I encourage everyone to start gardening and grow enough to help others
If you sink those 4x4s a couple feet, and bracket a cattle panel on one side....You could trellis those tomatoes and withstand substantial winds.
Awesome build...as usual! I'm going to build so many of your ideas...so many. :D
I finally made this table from your plans! I bought the wood and had it cut at Home Depot. Today I put it all together! Took me a long time cuz this old lady is no spring chicken, but I did it!

That’s awesome that Home Depot cut your wood! I’m going to look into that. I too am no spring chicken and wood working projects are challenging to me.
@@juliepoolie5494 it was well worth the effort. Eventually I made two more of them.

Hollis you and Nancy are a wealth of knowledge and Bing Bing is pure entertainment. Thank y’all for the wonderful information and fabulous videos! 🙏
I’m guessing the guys at the lumber store must know you by name with all your projects lol I had the same problem with them tipping over! Good idea!
Yes, they in fact do 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing, always your video is the very best.
I am so excited to see your garden full of food to be harvested.
Stay tuned, the best is yet to come

Thank you for the video just what I was looking for.

Lovely Build
Do you reuse the same soil in the next season, I am fairly new to this . I have Three raised beds for the last couple of years and I add some good old compost and a lot of TLC Thanks from Southern Ontario
Thank you for all the advice and diagram of building my 5 gal. bucket grow table- just finished yesterday before the rain- it was a challenge for this old 73 yr. old but got er done! only had one clamp but it was a big help. Can't wait to get those buckets full and start planting.
Great job!
Could you use this grow table with 10 gallon grow bags? It would have to be built without the rails. Your thoughts?
I’m building 2 of these next weekend! Got all the pieces cut and ready to go.
Well done little sissy!!! Very proud of you👍👍👍
The two of you encouraged me to make one for my container garden! Did it all yesterday and I am so pleased with my results. You made it so easy for me to follow. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I even bought those "high quality clamps" to help me! I love them!
Well done!! Post a photo of you and your grow table on our Facebook page ❤️
@@HollisNancysHomestead I will!
I can't wait to start making these!! Thank you!!
They really made a difference in our container garden. I think you will like them
very nice enjoyed your video
I love these tables. We plan on building one for our garden! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!!!!!
Hi Hollis & Nancy thank you so much for all of your videos. I enjoy them all the time. Very practical table. Enjoy your week, take care. XXX. for Bing Bing, too. 💛👵
I have decided to make this grow table and will be making it for the next season.
Very informative! Thank you for sharing.
That's a great idea 👍😇 thanks for sharing 💝 God bless both of u n ur family ⛪🙏
I used to live in Virginia, Arlington Virginia that is, now in the State of Washington but I can't plant my Thai Basil n some other tropical herbs anymore, I have tried but it won't do well then died 😔
Sounds like it is too cool there. Have you tried to plant them later in the season?
Praying for your homestead!
Highland Homesteading how much would you charge ?
Built this last year and its still holding up strong!
👍
Awesome idea!
Hollis, I appreciate your ideas and your methods, I cheated with my iPhone and took a screen shot of your drawing, now all I have to do is to bring it up, at the lumber yard, Thanks again, I was having a little trouble keeping my tomatoes from blowing over, this should do the trick. PS make you up some noodle jug lines, very efficient way to get catfish.
Yes sir, I have never tried that but it does look fun to do. We love fried catfish fillets
❤❤❤❤You both…thank You for sharing how you do things. As always. Please don’t go to those personal websites where you are charging folks a yearly fee…. I refuse to pay for knowledge that I can get in a book or learn from others or my own mistakes…..Love watching you both grow over the years and always helping others. I have learned quite a few things from you both and enjoy your channel…. KEEP ON Sharing😊😊😊😊😊
I'm glad I found your channel and I enjoy your videos. I've already made a few of your projects including the raised beds that you use for onions around your perimeter of your big garden and the dibble boards, one for onions and one for carrots, radishes etc. I've rounded up a bunch of 5 gallon buckets so my next project will be one of these grow tables.
Well done Debbie!!!👍. You are doing fantastic! I am so happy for you and so glad our videos have helped you some. Growing your own food is so important especially with the way the world is now. Keep up the good work and post some pix of your garden on our Facebook page. We would love to see it❤️
You sure make that look easy! Those are great tables for the buckets. Thank you for another great video. I need to get some more tools. God Bless both of you!
You inspired me to give container gardening a try. I wanted a good stable place for them,, so I had someone build a grow bench for me. I had it modified a bit to have a way to trellis and an additional shelf to add in some herbs I'm grown in Fabric pots. I'd like to send you a pic. Thank you so much for the plans as that made the job much easier.
That is awesome!
Thank You so Much for your wonderful video's God Bless You
I recently start 5 gallon containers and was wondering why you had the sides on the table, thanks for posting the pics of them after the storm, was good info for us beginners.
