    Leon CZcams videos always have complaints no matter how true, honest or informative it is. Your videos are saving the world and people in a small way, so complaints do not matter or count. I’ll watch your videos a dozen times with every add that shows for the kids scholarship fund.

    I was having some trouble with wicking. Figured it was the soil/compost I used...but needed to make do with it. I remembered a trick my grandma used to do with her house plants. She would take some string and poke it through one of the drain holes then work it into the pot almost to the top. The end of the string would sit in a saucer of water and wick the moisture up into the soil. So. I took some cotton clothesline and worked the end of it into the bottom of my tub then cut the line level with the soil. Sure enough, it started wicking just fine. I've since been able to use better compost, and haven't had wicking problems, but we were able to make the other work while we needed it to.

    Leon, you could show people how to convert their decorative pots. Just plug the hole in the bottom with silicone or putty. If growing vegetables, make sure it is kitchen grade or food safe. Boom. This is great. You are doing a good deed. This is definitely the purpose God intended for you. ♥️♥️♥️

    For those who don’t have compost it’s Best to use strictly bagged “potting MIX” not soil. Or mix your own. Larry Hall on you tube has a recipe it’s mostly peat moss with some additives I think the square foot garden soil recipe might work as well.

    My corn now has ears on it. I think we are going to make some corn this year. It will be our first time for corn in our garden. I know we started pretty late because that was when I found your site on the internet, but it works! We are so excited. If we run out of warm weather before the corn makes, well we will start again next year. Thanks Leon for making this possible. Most people in my area have no garden at all because of all the rain we had in the spring.

    I’m in SWFL and am very grateful for a way to grow in the ‘only season we supposedly unable to; by being able to move plants around to the north side, (In and out of direct sun), into my garage for a heat break if needed and also to prevent overwatering. Plants started 3 weeks ago are growing at an incredible rate. I start them off in plastic egg cartons, to solo cups, and then the healthiest into 5 gallon buckets. I use 2 pieces of drain pipe (the kind with with small holes all around), cut 2 about 7-8” lay them side by side, insert a piece of PVC pipe, and place an aerating ground cover inside before covering with soil and nutrients, (10-10-10) and epsom salt. Thank you Leon, be blessed my friend.

I remember my Aunt would do a wicking with a old rug from a coffee can sitting outside her pot filled with water and the other end in the soil in the pot . At her cabin up north. It was enough to water her flower pots which she wasn’t there . Great video.

    I like that your update video now says, don't need to use the cloth barrier. Ever since your first video about this where you used some kind of barrier, and then other videos from others where they didn't use a barrier, people have been wondering, which way is better?
    Now that you also say this, it's good to know you have very likely tried both methods and decided that this design without the barrier, is doing good!

    Thanks Leon! The fertilizer explanation helped! Here on the plains of Texas we don’t get enough rain so I don’t think if pots are outside it is necessary for the plastic on top? Course that would stop weeds. Things dry out here so fast. I put wood chips mulch on the top of mine. Course I don’t have the big buckets yet just 5 gallon buckets, but let me say I LOVE this method!!!!

    I’m a little bit late to the game but the taproot will go all the way down and find a water source. People that are complaining that their soil is too dry don’t realize that the taproot will find the water. It’s not absolutely necessary to have the entire route Submerged and or at least wet. It’s a way to do hydroponics. I’ve done it several times.

Like others have said, you get complainers on every channel. They are getting free advice and info and have the audacity to think they can tell you what to do. The world is full of narcissists; ignore them. It will drive them crazy. 😄

    The “DISLIKES” are Automatically set upon Every channel on CZcams.
    No real people actually watched the video - until the end - and then took the time to “dislike.” Its the CZcams politics. It’s wrong but dislikes are not really indicative of anyone’s real, actual opinion. NO ONE gets a perfect score of no dislikes. Even if it’s true!

    These are great videos!! Thank you so much for doing them. I have been looking for options for my very small city townhouse "yard" space. This seems like a great option!!
    I've read that we shouldn't drink water from water bottles we've left in our car because the plastic will leech into the water. Is leeching a concern with this method of growing? Will the plastic leech into the water then be passed on to the plants? So much confusing info out there😳
