I have a question. I want to do raised beds but quite frankly I cannot afford the dirt. Can you think of anyway to beet that problem?

[growingyourgreens]

Use the soil in your yard, you can double-dig it and put it into a raised bed.

[growingyourgreens]

They were bad.

Good video!!! Growing veggies in a bucket, do you need holes in the bottom?

[growingyourgreens]

Yes, you will for drainage.

@growingyourgreens You can also do soil building. Pretty much you put manure and compost in your natural soil that is in your price range. Every season or you do this and over time your soil will greatly improve. It takes longer but it will be in your price range...AND you also know whats going into your soil, your veggies, then you!

LOL. I thought I was the only one with the problems, because I was not strong enough. Immersing the buckets in water has loosened them for me. Also, when one person turns the bucket in a clockwise direction, and another tries to turn the bucket in the opposite direction, the rotation often separates the buckets. Thanks for your great posts. I am recommending that a friend buy his juicer from you :) Out of appreciation for all the valuable information that you share. Blessings

This is freakin awesome! I never knew you could reuse a bucket! WOW!

(I used to troll on YT, then I took an arrow in the knee)

Whats the rock dust do?

To help separate the buckets pour soap around the stuck edge, then shove a flat-head screwdriver in between the buckets... helps save the fingers :) Also if suction is holding them together, drill a hole in the bottom bucket to allow air flow

You can take the buckets apart if you apply heat to the outside bucket.
