Weirdest I’ve seen was a bathtub
Comment from : sxp013

In the past I've used stones in the bottom of my pots, so I appreciate the info about that I'm curious about other types of "space fillers" besides the sticks you mentioned (which I have limited access to) that could be put in the bottom For example: grass clippings, straw or hay, dirt etc What would you recommend?

I grew some leeks in a calsberg can opened the top with a can opener and eventually transplanted into the garden was quite an talking point 😅

I grew in a homemade toddlers bed that used their crib mattress after they had out grown the crib😂 It was painted bright pink and really put a pop of color in my garden, made all my lettuce and radishes really stand out
Comment from : Tina Rutherford

I once moved to a new place in the middle of (canadian) winter and come spring there was an old BBQ that appeared under the snow It wasn't working but made an amazing bed for wild flowers which I later switched to strawberries I'm so sad my current tint balcony is north facing I miss growing things
Comment from : Kris Marcotte

People put old broken furniture on the side of road for bulk trash I helped by repurposing bed spring & mailbox post for trellis Dresser drawers for containers & side boards for raised beds If color matters just get cheap spray paint & paint the exterior Also used a neighbor’s fallen wood fence they were going to throw away
Comment from : Living the Ruff Life

Nice video! The oddest containers I've grown veggies in are: Potatoes in old tires One stacked on top of the other, filled with dirt The next is herbs in an old boot A giant size man's work boot works well and it's a novelty you can show your friends
Comment from : Sista Chic

I wouldn’t say it’s odd, but I cut the tops off of 96 fl oz (284L) almond milk jugs and plant strawberries, chives, greens or similar in them
Comment from : Mike Snyder

Ikea hanging shoe boxes like SCUBB hang them vertikcal against a wall and you can put strawberries ,salade smal beans or other veggie s in them did that for years

I have a handful of smaller Amazon boxes laying around I'm going to try to do baby/fingerling carrots in one, and radishes in another We'll see how it goes! If anyone has any advice on growing in cardboard, let me know!

great video - I am enjoying your style It is very refreshing and I am learning as well!! I grow squash pumpkins, tomatoes, zucchini, chiles, peppers, peas, and a large variety of herbs My herbs self sow into strange places, such as cracks in sidewalk, old tires laying around, and thanks to my local birds even in our rain gutters! thanks for all your info and garden planning!
Comment from : EuroKitty33

I have the glass top of a blender with its plastic bottom sleeve (no blades) that I use for small trailing plants The mechanical part of the blender broke It actually looks kind of cute with pebbles in the bottom, plus the handle is nice!
Comment from : Mel S

I suppose it's not that weird but I have grown plants in lots of broken or chipped teapots and tea cups 😅 you know, the kind that are just too cute to toss I like using them as bird feeders and houses too
Comment from : Carlie Flower

What about using saucers under the pots in the Summer to help keep plants watered? (For those of us who live in more arid climates that rarely get rain in the Summer)
Comment from : Ikiru Yamamoto

I bought 25 and 3 barrel laundry hampers, lined them with plastic, and grew potatoes

I love your analogy to baking a cake! I also love that you are encouraging people that dont have a lot of space!
Comment from : Morning Glory Farmstead

Please think of covering your face while handling perlite
Comment from : What happened was

Strangest container so far - some old embroidered cowboy boots - they were too pretty to throw out so I now grow marigolds in them 😆
Comment from : Elfling26

As a extremely experienced gardener who is still learning, have been experimenting with making compost in 40 litre plus rubbish bins, but you need 4 not three, one for mixing in a small area Should have been tipping/turning it weekly/monthly Living in a climate that is summer hot, pots need watering daily, but are perfect for growing autumn to spring
Comment from : Helen Stewart

I’ve grown mint in an old toilet Didn’t want it getting into the garden and it likes to be damp Works well!! Definitely a talking point

Brilliant Clear, concise, lots of great tips Many thanks I'm just starting a container garden and this is what I needed
Comment from : mark carey

I have subscribed to your channel years auto but I am seeing this episode for the first time brCan you tell me why peat is not hood for container gardening? I bought vs bag of peat to help replenish the soil in my yard which had flowering plants growing for years I now want to plant vegetables
Comment from : jaycee157

Thank you Ben, I found that really useful I also have just a balcony, smaller than your friend's, and as well as lots of perennial and annual flowers I also grow two tubs of runner beans in the summer along with tomatoes and potatoes, plus perennial chives and rosemary I didn't think I could grow peas or carrots because of the lack of space but seeing yours in smallish containers is something I'll try this year I love the container you have for the spring onions, and I have a space for that size so I'll give those a go too As for the potatoes, I accidentally 'did a Martian' by chucking old potatoes into a tub for compost and now I get some come up every year, lol My weirdest container was when I grew some Mother-in-Law's Tongue in a crock teapot The plant got so big it kept falling over and I had to break the teapot to get it out and repot it! :)
Comment from : DevonExplorer

How do I subscribe please Ben I cant see a button
Comment from : Jenny C

Hi Ben i suggest you should wear face mask when you r mixing perlite in the wheelbarrow as the dust can get in your lungs n cause problems
Comment from : J C

dwarf fruit trees were planted in 56L containers this year

Beautiful video; but how about ceramic pots instead of plastic
Comment from : Dede P

You do NOT want to inhale perlite dust It's like tiny shards of glass You must always wet it down first or wear mask

A cheap and effective substitute for Perlite is charcoal, which has the advantage that it forms a habitat for soil bacteria It is a component of Terra Preta
Comment from : Baron Bar

I've found that vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers growing in 5 gallon pail containers can shed a good downpour of rain out and beyond the rim of their pail, thus keeping their soil relatively dry! This "canopy drip-line" effect can also apply to similar large-leafed vegetables growing up a trellis in a raised bed The problem occurs whenever the plants' leaves divert the falling rain beyond the limits of the soil, in which they grow like pails, planters, raised beds
Comment from : Barry Bridgeford

Great videos, learning a lot from you Thank you An old butler's sink with a variety of flowers, which my husband say is not unusual, an old 1940's style mop bucket with tomatoes and a split 100L water butt, sawn inbr 2 halves for melons and pumpkin The latter two grown for first time this year
Comment from : Heather Bovelle-Cordwell

Very interesting and entertaining, now i would like to see if anything grew? Did you have lots of potatoes in tlyour container? I tried last year, it did not work whatsoever

I used a laundry hamper two years ago to grow potatoes Did pretty well!
Comment from : MK Moody

I used a county recycling tub to grow potatoes once and the yield was awesome
Comment from : Steve Yackel

I once used an old pig feeder to grow herbs in i stuck an umbrella over the top, when it rained, as it was made of iron and had no drainage holes Apart from that, it was stunning to look at
Comment from : My2up2DownCastle

I covered my dark pots with Reynolds aluminum foil with the shiny part deflecting the sun rays Hopefully, the planters will not overheat and damage the roots of the veg this way; it gets upwards of 95F here, so I had to try,
Comment from : Lady Ela

I can't afford clay pots, they are way too expensive, I can only spent in plastic, nursing pots

You didn't mention herbs I have chives in a large pot that has been there for years!
Comment from : Dolly Perry

I put up turned small plastic pots in the bottom of my deep planters as they take up the space and add drainage too
Comment from : Jennie Davis

great video
Comment from : AA Home Gardening

I live in a flat with a balcony and last year I tried my hand at growing veg Despite being a complete novice, I grew chili peppers, courgettes, beans and tomatoes One thing I tired to increase my tomato yield was to have cherry tomatoes grown in upside down 5l plastic bottles and it worked a treat This year I feel I've learnt a lot and with fantastic videos like yours, I feel more confident of a bumper harvest Thanks for your great content and useful tips!
Comment from : Spain Insider - Lailandi Adventures

I love your videos - so practical and clear! I have a bunch of traditional terracotta and plastic containers and a few felt grow bags for mostly lettuces and herbs so far this season Do you have any advice for using Blumat watering pods? I have them set up in groups with a 4 gallon drinking water container

Comment from : Chez P

Your fur baby is so stinking cute 🥰 I loved the close ups Love your videos so informative I have been going around my town collecting wood pallets to make raised beds and sewed some grow bags I live in an apartment but have a small porch so taking notes on all these tid bits you have provided ☺️💖

Comment from : Zhippidy Doodah

I've stumbled upon your channel and as a first time tomato/strawberry container grower, I've found some great tips However could you tell me of I need to be spritzing with a soapy water solution on both as to prevent aphids?? Thankyou
Comment from : Nay Nay 77

Yep if you got $ for costly soil, seeds, plants and organic pesticides, coco peat, you can do this Actually it is cheaper just to buy organic food…
Comment from : song lyon

I lost half of my fence during the last winter storm; so I had the whole thing replaced with hedge bushes to make a natural fence (in a few seasons) The gardener was so amazing to offer me all the pots that the shrubs came in Saved me over $200 on equipment and I’ve got more pots than I had in mind to fill So nothing strange yet, just bushels of gratitude 🙏🏻

Breathing in that perlite dust does not feel good I gotta wear a mask now

I live in Mesa, AZ and it gets hot My BLACK POTS were getting too hot! I cut silver insulation that you put around a hot water heater, to reflect the suns rays It worked!!! You could also use a sun visor
