I am a long time gardener, I am 80 years old. We have 4 acres and have been gardening in the ground, fighting weeds, and bugs =back pain. Your method of container gardening on elevated grow tables is an excellent idea, that will help me to continue gardening in my old age. Thank you.
I have been gardening in containers ALL MY LIFE since
1953😅
Really enjoyed your video thanks ❤🇦🇺 great info
As older peole, Is it bad for our back to let the ability to work the ground aprophy, as children can do comfortably? To allow our bodies to atrophy from more selective physical movement?
This is so inspiring to read; you have no idea! I'm 72 and once upon a time had a 5 acre garden and canned *so much*. I tried growing tomatoes in containers last year but unfortunately got way too late of a start. I've got a handle on it this year, though! Keep on doing what you're doing and commenting whenever you can because you truly are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤ 🎉 😊
I can vouch for you on upright gardening. Many years ago a went to a U Pick Strawberry farm in North County San Diego. I think it’s the San Mateo Sand ( very unique characteristic not really found anywhere else in the world where the strawberry beds were way higher than knee high with all the berries easy to pick . It was like walking in a trench between the berries with the walls firm and not collapsing.
I am disabled and container gardening has enabled me to keep gardening. I love your grow tables!
Florida
Fantastic. Love every thing you shared. We have no idea how to do this
You NEVER LIE !!!! Easy on the back & knees that's why all my garden this year is going up up up
Hollis, I have almost 40 acres but my best gardening was done on my second story deck in containers because the deer thought my garden in the ground was only for them.
I've noticed your deer fencing. Is there somewhere that makes wire fencing that tall or do you have 2 runs of 48 inch fencing with one installed above the other?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
this make a lot of sense, I am 76 years old and bending over is not was easy as it was in my 60's.
The older I get, the more I'm getting into raised beds and container gardening. Thanks for the video, and even as a so-called veteran gardner, I always tend to learn something new watching your videos. Thank you. Have a blessed day.

Hey Hollis, this was just the video to lift my spirits. One additional benefit to container gardening: no dog or cat tootsie rolls near your food. So gross when neighborhood cats use the garden as a bathroom.
I had to actually use chicken wire on the TOP of my raised beds because of that!
Great presentation Hollis, people forget that us oldies have back & joint problems. I think your system of raised planting is brilliant 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍
Oh my goodness, Hollis, have just changed my gardening life. I really have not planted vegetables because of a lack of space, you have just opened up a whole world of possibilities. Thank you, and blessings to you and Nancy.
I have also been gardening for years. I am exploring doing grow bags, and am currently also growing using a hydroponic system. I am doing different growing methods this year
Many people get home deliveries of food and medicine in foam coolers. I rescue those coolers from the curb and use them as planters. The foam also insulates the roots from the heat.
Another advantage of container gardening is pest control. Root knot nematodes love okra. It's easy to remove the contaminated soil so that the other plants aren't affected.
@@Anne--Marie What a fantastic idea, those are generally cheap at the Dollar stores if they are not available for free. Love how inventive gardeners are!
@@QueenAnnesLace13 Thank you! Happy gardening!
The raised container garden (for me so far) has made it so much easier on my knees and back, eliminated slugs, snails and pill bugs from my plants.
I been a truck driver for years, now I like to stay home and star to planting, your videos help me a lot, thank you I star to due, I like to say thank and Good bless U and u family please don't give up
Thank you so much. So glad you like our videos. We are trying to continue as long as we can. Old age and some health issues are taking a toll on our ability to garden. We are still trying but on a much smaller scale❤️
I have watched a few of your videos in the past and liked them all. This video was especially inspiring. I have grown so tired from other videos that say everyone is doing everything “wrong” and only they can tell you how to do it correctly. Your approach is refreshing and informative, and I really appreciate the fact that you give God the glory for your blessings. I hope you and Nancy have many more years of health to enjoy your gardening and time together. I am subscribing today.
Carlos.. thanks for trucking! Hard job my son just came off the road for an in town job to see his young family. God bless you and your harvest🙏
@@HollisNancysHomestead Please know that we value and appreciate whatever content you put out. There's always value in what y'all share even if it's less often. Wishing peace for you both and Bing-Bing!
I enjoyed this. You have good sound reasons for growing in containers! I think there is something more, I have watched you guys for years now, you like building and growing in containers! Gardening is personal, experienced gardeners will find ways of growing over the years, that are successful and pleasing to them! I feel really close to the Lord when I’m out working in my garden, pure joy!
God bless

Amen!
Wow. How refreshing to see a YT channel without the host doing one of those annoying wide eyed open mouth click bait photos. Whenever I see those I never enter their sight because they’re just plain insulting. You’re a treasure and an original, Hollis and your information about gardening is amazing. ❤
Yeah, I laugh at those kind of thumbnails too. Looks stupid. 😲😲😲
I dislike them too. Mouths open and arms outstretched wide.
I really love your videos . I’m a Christian and country song writer. I love growing my vegetables in pots but like you I have the space . Keep on posting , great video . 😎🇺🇸😎
Omg! I don’t know why I didn’t think of a grow table. Thank you so much for sharing! I have been having flooding problems, and I couldn’t think of what to do for my containers. I was on the verge of not having a garden anymore. Blessings to you and your wife!

Here are some DIYs that may help you with your tables👍
My wife saw this and sent me over to watch, thanks for sharing your insights and showing us the grow beds.
Years ago, someone either dumped their bunnies, or they escaped. Our yard bunnies are all descendants of those former pets. They expect to be fed, and will actually come on the back porch and thump the door. They have their own tiny garden patch this year to help keep them out of the in-ground plants and away from the house. They won't touch the purple cabbages, but boy do they love the green ones!
We eventually hope to catch a few of them to keep as pets and for their spherical outputs to mix back into the garden.
They make the best fertilizer. No need to compost first. Was wondering, how you intend to train them to use THEIR plot of greens and protect yours?
"Spherical outputs" -I LOVE it!😂👍
@@katiemoyer8679just make the rabbit garden more accessible than the others. I still have a short wire fence around MY gardens but if they can have their own garden they don't try so hard to get into the others
I always watch to the end, for the blessing, of course, but also to see that fine boy, Bing Bing.
❤️🐶❤️
Last season I planted a variety of lettuces for the first time. I saw that they were ready for harvesting. I decided to wait until the next day because I was busy that. When I went out the very next morning to harvest my heads of lettuce I saw that the rabbits mowed down my lettuces, as if I hired them to mow my lawn. 😂😂😂 Those rabbits gave them a nice low cut. So this season I will definitely be growing them above ground
Some great points here. We do similar (also on a 5 acre plot) but we generally use only two sizes of pot (15 or 30 litres, approximately 3.5 or 7 US gallons). We don't go any smaller for growing things as the wind on our site is just too strong, the bigger containers generally (not always!) stay where they're put when full of damp growing materials. We do our seed starts in reusable heavy duty commercial growers starting trays, we then plant out the plug plants from these to overcome slugs. As for your raised tables for growing and planting, they're a fantastic thing for old and young alike, definitely worth building. Keep up the awesome work here on CZcams. All the best from the wild and windy Highlands of Scotland! 👍🌱
Those container tables are not just senior citizen friendly. Some young folks with bad back appreciate them too😂
You and Nancy have a beautiful garden. I agree that containers are the way to go. My husband grows our peppers and tomatoes in containers. I grew for the first time some Chinese string eggplant in containers. It works wonderfully. Thanks for this video. Gave us some more ideas.
I'm a beginner Gardner and had no idea what I'm doing and I've seen a lot of videos here on CZcams and none of them are more informative than yours and easy to follow .. I subscribed immediately..
Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶
This is one of the smartest forms of gardening I've ever seen. This is so good! Thank you for sharing this wisdom!
I have gotten older and I know what you mean about saving your back. I have made several of you grow tables and just love them. Thank you for the plans.
You were the first person I’d ever seen these elevated grow tables with containers! I will set up a couple this season with some left over wood. I had a bunch of large trees installed and kept the 25 gallon pots! Thanks for all the tips.
Great video with great reasons...as we get older container gardening is the way for us too! Thank you for being inclusive...you are correct not everyone has land to grow....your planting ideas have been not just informative but inspiring whether land or containers...well done...thank you...from cold snowy NY!❤
You did bring peace to my day and a smile on my face. What a wonderful idea you have come up with. It's also the perfect answer to some of us seniors. Thank you.
I’ve been a farmer too for 25 years back in my younger days. Now every thing I grow has to be in containers due to physical conditions make it easier for the lower back problems, easy to move m, around. But not only that, I plant them in small containers because I can’t carry heavy stuff either. I also grown indoors under grow lights especially when the cold states to kick in. Reason for growing in small containers for more space and more varieties of vegetables. I just love the compact garden now. Thanks for sharing your video.
I have transitioned over to a lot of containers. I am soon to be 74 and with arthritis pain, I cannot be on the ground like I used to or I can’t get back up!!! lol. Thank you Hollis!❤❤❤
You are a world of knowledge. God bless.
Thank you so much for this awesome information. Your Blessing at the end of your video are a Blessing to me. May the Lord continue to richly bless you and Nancy❤
I just think you and Nancy are just Lovely People
What a sweet thing to say!!! God bless you and yours❤️❤️❤️
Hi Hollis and Nancy. Today was my 1st time seeing one of your videos. Great ideas w containers, and I also really like the elevated grow tables! But best of all was the end where you give God all the glory!!! No wonder your garden thrives....yes, of course you both work hard, but the favor of The Lord Almighty God is resting on you as you steward what He has given you, and as you thank and praise Him for it all. Amen. 😊😊
Thanks for watching and subscribing!! Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
I in Florida (zone 9b) and I am working on my container garden. I had good results with cherry tomatoes and mustard greens. I am starting cucumber, squash, and tomato seeds. I am glad I found your channel.
We love watching your videos. They are so relaxing in this stress-filled world. You inspire us to try new things and give step-by-step instructions that take away the guess work. The north is more limited in its growing season, closing the timetable, at the same time increasing the stress to hurry and plant when needed. But the container garden opens up more great options! Thank you for all your videos and great information! We love you guys!
Thank you for watching!!! Hope our videos bring more peace to you during these stressful days ❤️❤️🐶
I scored when my friend sold The Grow Box Company he emptied on me all the returns experiments every kind of container .Now all I need is compost and tables
I just love listening to your southern drawl…it’s so nice and soothing! Thanks for being a kind person!!!
Uncle Hollis - the BEST to ever do it!!!! ✌🏻💜🌻
Nothing better than homegrown ❤
Thank You, Hollis and Nancy. So appreciate all you do to teach and encourage. God Bless
Thank you... I have been battling gophers pulling tomatoes down under ground... This is a perfect solution... And saving my back
Always enjoy the videos you and Nancy post. Thank you!

It definitely helps me especially now that I am in my 70s
This is a GREAT video and explanation, Hollis! I love the way that you and Nancy do this🎉
Your videos are always so informative. Your good nature is also appreciated. Thank you
Hollis thanks for this video! I started watching you several years ago, before you moved to FL. I have always liked your start to finish video format so thats what caught my attention when I seen your videos at first. I have to say though I look forward to also seeing your scriptures at the end of every video as well. you and Nancy and Bing are Blessed and a blessing to so many people. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for growing!
Love you guys keep growing and growing and praying❤😊
I think a grow table is just what I need. Blessings Hollis & Nancy🙏🏻
Informative and well-presented! Nice friendly session with your experience stamped on everything you said. Great work, you two and thank you!

I really appreciate your help with the best gardening advice 🙏
It's my pleasure
This helped me so much.
Thank you
Wonderful video as always! It is so nice that you share some examples of what plants 🪴 for different sized pots… Thanks to you both🙏
these tables are the greatest idea I've ever seen and when I get my new house, that is exactly what I'm going to do. Thank you so much @Hollis and Nancys Homestead!! ❤❤❤
My back is aching from yesterdays garden weeding. Love your ideas to save my back! Thank you!
Love your videos. They bring peace. Also really like our raised garden and container garden. Makes so much sense. Thanks, Hollis.
Thank you for watching! It warms our heart to know our videos are peaceful for you to watch. That has been one of our main goals while creating videos. Your kind words have encouraged us to keep at it. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
Thank you so very much for all you have tough us through the years, God Bless and keep you in His tender care.
So good to see you two again! I had lost touch after my move! Glad you two are still thriving!
Appreciate you giving your time. I’m simplifying while growing my yard farm this year and adding more containers. Thanks again H
Really useful and good information! Thank you!
I needed something positive and encouraging today. Thank you Hollis and Nancy for providing a peaceful space.
God loves you and this too shall pass. Blessings ❤️ Nancy
Thank you for all the good information! I enjoy watching you and Nancy cultivating your homestead. I also like the wild animals walking through at night!
Thanks you guys. I’m increasing my container collection this year.
It is always an absolute pleasure tuning into you two. The knowledge, ideas and timing is a great confirmation that what I’m doing is a solid idea. Thank you two again
Our pleasure!
Boy that was nice how you showed all the container sizes. Really helps me learn.thanks
What a great set-up you and your wife have got! Thanks for all the info..
Thank you for that and the uplifting and may God continue to keep blessing your family
Excellent information! I also liked the lineup of containers and your explanation as to which one to choose for which crops. You convinced me. I remember your videos in the past on how to grow potatoes in five-gallon buckets.
Great information ... thanks Hollis! I've learned a lot from you through the years. All the bed.
Great info and video as always. I grow in containers, raised beds, green stalks and in ground, its good to be versatile. Have a blessed day! ❤
I really love this concept! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE this video, Hollis! Living in Ohio now, but looking at property in Arkansas. Container gardening would be terrific there, too, because of the rocky soil conditions. This is exciting stuff. I don't have to give up gardening simply because the rich soil I'm used to isn't available in my new region. I'd love to see more of this topic. Hi, Nancy! Love to you from this old Buckeye State! "Have a blessed day!!"....aw, you are amazing. I love hearing that.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. I suffer a back injury last year and was not able to garden at all. Going to take some of your ideas and implement them in my garden. God bless you all.
This was a great video. I appreciate the time you two put into your CZcams channel for us. Thank you.
Your potted veggies are lookin’ good! You’re always such an encouraging couple for the Late Bloomers, and folks called Boomers! Thanks so much 🤗
Thanks for the video Hollis
I'm being following you for years and you inspired me with my bucket garden for 12 years now
Everything is just fantastic
Blessings
I'm so happy, To find yall again...❤
Been watching You and Nancy garden. Since. Your small Bardyard Home..❤🙏😘❤️🙏🙏🙏
Welcome back. ❤️
Great info. Thanks Hollis and Nancy.
I love you guys! You inspire me to keep trying. My vegetables didn't do well last year but I am not giving up. I am trying again this summer.
Amazing ideas growing Vegetables ❤❤❤, Thank you so much for sharing ❤
You did a good job explaining that question. Even when we grow in the field it is still good to have some other favorite veggies in pots near the kitchen door!
Thank you. We especially like the easy and convenient harvesting for a individual meal👍❤️
I have a combination of raised beds and container gardens and it has changed my gardening to make it so much easier to maintain.
Excellent tips! I am going to try growing Bok Choy this year and probably would've failed without your video. May God bless and keep you all the days of your life.
Thank you for sharing you have a nice garden.
Really like this summary video on container gardening. Containers also let you extend the growing season by moving plants easily into a greenhouse or cold frame when light frosts arrive. Thank you for the great video!
