Hi Leon. I have grown a lot of kitchen garden herbs and vegetables this way since discovering your video a year ago and now your idea has spread by word of mouth throughout Adelaide in South Australia. It is by far the simplest, quickest, cheapest and most recycling savvy wicking bed idea on the net. Thank you so much.
I'm in Melbourne, going to give this a try ahead of next summer, I wonder what supplies you use for the fertilisers and soil? Sustane isn't a thing here, searching 'sea minerals' isn't an immediate find... I have some 55gal drums though :D
Thank you Leon. I'm a young man from B.C. Canada and I am being forced to quarantine on my father's land in a remote location. Your videos are integral to my education and understanding of gardening and nature itself. God bless you and your loved ones in these difficult times.
I just love this video. You remind me of my dad Virgl. He's resting in the cemetary right now, but someday I will tell him what you said and showed me about this type of gardening.
Bless you. I have never heard anyone say that their loved one is resting in the cemetery right now but someday your going to tell him something. That is so precious.
In many faiths, the dearly departed is said to “Sleep in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection.” That takes my breath away when I think on it a little.
Yes I beleive that! In the Bible it says that death is a sleep. And the rightouse will be risen first from the Graves to be caught up in the air with Jesus. (1 Thessalonions 4:16)
Good morning Leon, I know very little about growing anything when I did try it was hit and miss. I started watching Arms Family and learned about you. I am 70, so digging up a garden is out of the question. I am going to make some of your buckets and plant tomatoes and other salad plants. Thank you, Leon, wish me luck.
So wonderful to hear this warm, southern, country accent again. Had to "like" when I heard: "If you'd use two shovels, David, you get it full twice as fast...but that's alright." lol And, "... let me get my tomatoes--they have run off on me." Thank you, Leon, for the tips!
Good morning to the man that’s made me a successful gardener❤️💪🏻I just wanted to mention I have successfully rooted two fig cuttings and started a “Leon bucket” for them.. I can’t wait to see what happens!! Also we have a hurricane headed our way in coastal NC so I had to pull my mater plants inside I wish I could send you a photo of the they are taller than my 5’8 frame!!!!!thank you for teaching me how to garden sir❤️
Mr. Leon, I could listen to you talk all day. Thanks for making this so simple, I don't get many things but I get this concept! Tomatoes for EVERYONE! :)
Leon, Your instructions are so easy to follow. I have a bunch of baby lettuces that need a home. I am building a tub right now, although I am taking a mid-project break to write this. I am excited to see how the bin turns out. Thanks for being a great gardener-educator.
lamoabird I love ur comment. U said it so much better than I did. Doesn’t it just touch ur heart and rekindle ur faith in man kind when someone like Leon comes along. God bless us all who are right in our hearts. To write such s comment as u did. Ur heart has to be good and belong to a higher being for the better of mankind, whom ever u call them. Ur comment dug in and touch my heart spiritually. Don’t worry I am not going to start stalking u. Lol. Thanks for the spiritual uplift.
For starters, just LOVE the first 10 seconds of your video...the whole video is so interesting and the information will help me come springtime. Thank you.
Thanks again for your knowledge, I've been a fan a couple of years now and your method works!!! My garden is a combo of wicking tubs and raised beds can't say enough about the wicking tubs they ROCK.
mr Leon has been a wonderful help, i have loved his videos and have called him by phone to, my garden would not have been so easy to switch over to containers without the expert advice of Mr Leon, thank you sir and may G-d Bless you
Thank you so very much!! I shared this on my FB . I’m growing vegetables in 5 gallon containers this year . You are so helpful. Have a wonderful day!!!!
Yes you would decrease the amount of fertilizer for a 5 gallon bucket. VS what he is using. I'm guessing that tub is 25 gallons. So the measurement would be 1/5th the amount of each fertilizer
Leon I have ten tubs, with tiny baby plants that I started in the house, planted in them. They are looking good even though they have had a lot of wind and one rain. I have more tubs and plants to start. Thank you for this information.
Thanks for the good knowledge Leon! I will be using these in my high tunnel systems in the future. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Davinci
Just had a thought that you never tell people to keep the caps on the milk jugs. Alot of people throw those caps away or lose them. Love this idea and I am going to use it!
OMG......Thank you, Thank you, Thanks 🙏 you... I am a visual Learner... I get it now.... My 5 gallon container with the water bottles will be done today.... thanks 🙏
Thank you Leon, could you please do a self waterer when you have time? You are brilliant & explain everything clearly. Best wishes to you & yours from Uk.
Leon great info and good to use available resources. I have made wicking tubs with both plastic coffee cans and “perforated” pipe, I like the pipe better because I can place fill tube in pipe. When watering I am much more confident of all the reservoir getting filled because it is tied together rather being separated with potting mix in between. I also have found great rubber tubs at the Farm Supply Stores. Yes, they cost more; but they should last much longer. Guess it depends on whether a person wishes to have huge volume garden or a few nice looking flower pots in the landscape.
Yes your right Lowes is around 💲8 buck's an Wal-Mart has some too they're black for 💲5 buck's they worked good for me this year 😁 Thank's for ya Video BossMan worked out great for me in Kentucky
that is awesome with the 4 plants I have been doing it for awhile with the 145 tomatoes plants I grew I ran out of space had lots of other thing planted also so the rainbow carrots here I come for this
Yeah, I discovered lick tubs this year as well. A friend of mine got 80 of them for some crazy project and I bought some from him $2. I use rotten firewood in the bottom of mine to take up space and hold water then I cover it with sand, top it off with potting soil. Kind of like a hugelkultur in a bucket. I put a 2" watering pipe in some of mine. I may stand them up on barrels. I have some handy. I was going to single stem them.
Mr. Leon, Thank you so much for teaching me how to grow my own food! I understand filling the barrel with a bottle or drain pipe, drilling the hole 5 inches up, etc. As you have in some videos I bought the 1-inch PVC pipe to insert on the inside of the barrel for watering. So what I haven't seen you do is pouring the water into the barrel. I imagine you put the hose into the PVC pipe and fill it until it runs out of the hole that you drilled 5 inches up on the side of the barrel/bucket. Is that right? When you water & feed each day are you putting enough water into the pipe so that it will run out of the hole on the side of the barrel each time you water? Thank you, Bill-St Louis Mo.
Thank you so much for teaching this method of planting. If I have to water more than once a week, do I add fertilizer to the second gallon that I add per week? This is my first year of planting in wicking buckets and I decided to experiment and see what the difference between tomatoes planted in wicking buckets vs the same tomatoes planted in containers with holes. Same tomatoes plants and same buckets. The ones planted in the wicking buckets are growing about twice as fast and in better health than the ones in the bucket with holes.
Leon, where you located in Okla. Im North of Chelsea 5 miles. Been gardening most my life. Im 72 now. Im always looking for new and different ways of gardening, and I sure enjoyed watching your vids. I got to admit, I had towatch 2 before I finally figured out how you were doing what you do. The first one I watched, you were standing behind a table with 3 or 4 tubs on it, and you were moving back and forth, and I felt kinda like the kid who trys to pick ouot where the guy behind the table has hid the pea lol. BUT, I gotter figgered out after the 2nd one, and this is my third. Good luck to you, and your business.
I am wondering how the roots would get air pruned in this set-up as they do in the 1st way I saw where you used 6" pipe with landscape fabric over it. I really enjoy watching your videos.
took your advice and ask around about the protein tubs...a guy i know said come by the house , i've got plenty...he must have had a couple of hundred...take what you want...
I have watched carefully (,I think) but I haven't seen you pouring the water into the pot. So my question is ; at what point do you put that water in, once the tub is full of dirt, or at halfway point when you put the soil amendment/ fertilizer into the dirt?
Mornin' Leon! WE GOT RAIN in Northern CO yesterday! & I got my gardens started! Happy Earth Day! I about spit out my tea when you put the lime in! My Dad used to have me hold the bucket for him while he climbed down on a rope ladder to put lime in our water well! I believe it was to keep bacteria from growing, and to lower the ph ? Thanks for the videos!
Hi Leon. My question is, how does this barrel collects water to the bottom? Maybe by watering the plants from the top and eventually will fill up the bottom? Others insert a long PVC pipe in their instructional videos where they can pour water directly in and fill the bottom part of the barrel to self water the plant. A beginner here and needs guidance. Thank you Sir and have a blessed day.
Leon has a video where he shows the prices with a 20 gal self watering fabric pot using the gas jucks and how to add the 1 in pipe czcams.com/video/nOThXncTCXc/video.html
Leon thank you for posting so many awesome suggestions giving us the knowledge to build a seemingly endless variety from what we have access to. I watch them all. In exploring , I ran across a version that uses sand as a wicking layer to isolate the growing medium that can stink from anaerobic digestion when submerged with out oxygen. I would love to hear your thoughts on this method. Other than the added complication, my main question is how thick will the sand work as a wicking medium? Of course also is it a waste of effort?
Mr Leon enjoy your CZcams channel very much I was wondering do you put holes in all of the milk jugs and do they all fill up with water thanks for all your help
Excited today. Found the large tubs with rope handles at Target. In children’s linen aisle for $7.99. Then I headed next door to Home Depot. Here in Michigan I’ll be sitting the buckets out mid May. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Those tubs, if like the Walmart tubs will last a good 2 + years. I think plastic 55 gallon barrels cut in half will last much longer. Too bad they are not commercially available for cheap. After all, they are just plastic.
Appreciate the simple man's explanation--my language...lol! However, in other videos you had a PVC "filler pipe" going to the bottom of the tub. Did you happen to forget it in the video?
Which jug would the filler pipe fill? Or does it fill the space between jugs? What was the reason for them jugs in the first place? Just to take up space?
Do you fill the water jugs before you add the soil? And how do you keep the milk jugs from floating up and keep the soil from clogging the holes in the jugs?
Love this the state is taking my home to widen the road I have look for big pot to put rose and my flowers in so I can take them what I n up just was asking if I can put bushes in thim

Can your share a link please ?
If you use 2 shovels, David !!!! 😂🤣
Thank You all for a great video, I’m going to try this in my greenhouse. Greetings from Alaska !!!!
I’ve got 6 of these tubs from our county extension agent last year. Now I know what to do with them. Thank you, Mr. Leon.

Mr. Leon, you are a Great American. Thank you.
You sounds so much like my beloved grandpa. It was a pleasure to watch!!
Me too. Mine loved his garden so much. This made me so happy.

No hole I the side of the tub? How do you know how much water to use
Leon thank you for posting so many awesome suggestions giving us the knowledge to build a seemingly endless variety from what we have access to. I watch them all. In exploring , I ran across a version that uses sand as a wicking layer to isolate the growing medium that can stink from anaerobic digestion when submerged with out oxygen. I would love to hear your thoughts on this method. Other than the added complication, my main question is how thick will the sand work as a wicking medium? Of course also is it a waste of effort?
I think if you keep the bottom holes at 5 inches on bucket it should keep some oxygen in all of the gallons.
Thank you very much!
