Urban Survival Patio Gardening - Episode 2

[markeii]

meeeuuuww !

[urkingod]

Great ~!!!!!!!! LOL

[dlvmark]

Will you consider a hunting class or Do it Yourself hunting video or even a school dedicated to teaching the art of hunting? Mark

[therealsporadicaarmy]

could you grow inside in the winter? just put them at the patio window or near it? (in sunlight of coarse) also where i am it hardly rains much, so that could use up my water in case i need to survive.

[Demonstempest]

For winter growing you could build a cold frame around your planters it's like a mini green house they even work in negative degree weather

[dasgemuse]

i hope that whole tub is not filled with the same material i see on the top. The chunks of decaying wood etc. attract bacteria necessary for decomposition. The bacteria will decide to decompose the root system of your plants. mulch is only used to retain moisture i the soil, by providing a barrier between soil and air. (sheets of plastic could also be used.) hope there are drainage holes, and that the tray is raised off the ground.

[urkingod]

@dasgemuse Great advice. I had no idea. But great video too.

Shut that cat up.....shoot it with your AK.

[martykean1967]

Good vid! If your in a bad situation those very fast growing crops can prevent starvation! Lettuces of many different types also grow extremely fast and are nearly as nutritious as spinich. I think another good video would be on how to make good compost. You'll need good soil ammendments in a survival situation and a large supply of compost would be priceless if your forced to grow your own food supply.

the cat is a bodygaurd for your plants from vermin.

[WoundedEgo]

Great ideas here. It is always useful to experiment.

I didn't see where you put any drainage holes in tour tubs. That rain is going to turn those tubs into swimming pools which will kill the plants.

Spinach wants 70-75 degree soil for optimal germination, and 7-15 days.

It looked like you planted the onions a bit deep.

I would find the radishes pretty hard to choke down more than a few bites.

[coreyfmiller]

Tried this method on a much larger scale. 40 tubs in total, nothing grew. We got 1 small tomato, and about 30 very small tomatos... I mean pea sized lol Was a good experience though. The city I live in has a climate all its own. Almost impossible here.

[oneonebravo11B]

poor cat

[theproducegarden]

looks good. i just did an onion video too, lol

[mediatrigg]

another great video friend.

Thanks for posting.

[YouMockMe]

spinach is great... I planted some over the summer and they just keep on givin. Actually still givin, my tomatoes called it quits but I cut off some spinach last week and already I got more commin.

[nikki4612]

I plant radishes every two weeks during the season. That way you always have some that are just about ready to harvest rather than having them all at once. They get too hot in the summer though. I love the idea with the green onions. I cut the root end all the time and toss them in my composter. Never thought about planting them. Thanks for the great videos

Green onions are great. I immediately eat the white part but sometimes I save the green for making soup or salads or making stir fried rice. I suppose they just grow into the big onions if you plant them.

[dasgemuse]

when he asked where the onions came from, i was thinking of the orgin of the onion. not the grocery store!!

[ArizonaAdventures]

At what point would you pick the onions?

[AUGRE12345]

I think I heard a few meows... Maybe he just wants some onions. I don't blame him.

[painsey]

nice video mate do you keep chickens? if so a video on chicken keeping would be very useful

[AnarchyFreak4185]

This is a great simple garden idea. If you want your garden to sprout a little quicker and with a bigger payload, check out earthboxes. there is a simple way to make them your self at home and you can use thos same containers. and like that earlier comment, it would help lessen any contaminated rain water because of the cover. awesome job and great tip about the onions. i'm going to go start mine now.

[19countryboy71]

If all you do with green onion is cut off the tops but them planted is that ok and will it work?

[bluzy25]

give that cat some salmon, cats love salmon!

[phokuzbt]

Awesome!

[MsTansy]

hope to see up date of the onions. Thanks!

[16matthewb16]

DId you ever make holes in the bottom of the box the allow the water to drain?

[vonhismean]

Yes Kev said at the bottom of the comments on this video that he did in fact drill holes in the bottom. Can't wait to see more garden video updates.

[Rvidioes]

i was just geting ready to ask that then i seen your commet.

[AnnieNM06]

This is a great video with great ideas! I would never have thought of planting the green onions like that!

And I like this idea as a wintertime indoor garden for stuff that is offseason too. Or say for the sake of argument, that you couldn't plant in the regular garden because the ground was contaminated, heaven forbid.

Thanks!

[PartisonConfederate]

How many holes did you drill in the bottom of the container and how large are the holes. Great vid.

[54114142]

Great video.

But while a atomic war - as you gave as example in a last video - , i wouldn't eat anything watered by rain. ;)

[scottblur]

hey those must be the green shoots fox news was talking about as far as the economic recovery,and i thought they didnt know what they were talking about..LOL

[Evilspartacus]

Quality vid.

[GardenGirltv]

Great Video! Thanks!

[godsend420]

did u drill / make rain holes? dont drowned then

[overlordsshadow]

Thanks Kev! I'm in Canada so I am growing in my front window. Might be getting some fluorescent lights.

[dlvmark]

Great idea! You used potting soil?

[Sleepyhead54]

meow, lol

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!!

[carveawoodeneye]

wreichert if you want to see gay dudes playing with potting soil and flowers your in the wrong place!! here we're doing some man type survival shit!! quit hating!!

[wreichert]

Would have been nice to see the bins being setup. What kind of soil and how they were planted. Any irrigation holes drilled, how much watering etc.

[carveawoodeneye]

yard dirt with 2 hands mother fucker!! set up? their sitting on a table! wtf? lol

[RCvolunteer1978]

my celery is growing it been the time as your radishs tiny tiny little things but we been dry and hot in the 80s still above normal temps here in Cen. Fla

[SSanf]

Radish greens can be cooked like turnip greens. If you let them get old and go to seed, the seed pods can be boiled for a nice vegetable. You can get three different kinds of food from radishes. Plus, if you save the seeds, you can sprout them.

[molemanlivesagain]

growing pinto beans in my window for fun, all four plants are a foot tall and i got a little two inch bean pod on one of them after a little over a month and a half.

[zigzagzarf]

nice grow....you can also use a milk jug cut a hole in the bottom open some of the top up with a razor...to fill with dirt and to water....hang it up and you got a homemade topsy turvy grower for tomatoes or pepper plants...

hang it in a window or off your balcony

[haha48]

I could eat the whole tube my self :p

[cory8791]

did you drill holes in the bottom?

[survivalistboards]

yes, I cut some holes in the bottom for the rain water to drain out.

[garettcatron]

I urge you to grow from seed
