I expanded my raised beds with about 30 grow bags. They have been working great.
I mostly use 7 gallon bags each with a single plant in them. (seeing this I will probably try putting two in each, add a carrot or radish or beet)
I have a few 5 gallon ones for smaller plants or plants that will grow very large but dont have insane root systems like pumpkins.
I have a few 10 gallon bags for potatoes.
I also have two massive grow bags, I think they are 50 gallons, but shallow, a little higher then a foot and I have one filled with all my herbs, and the other has cucamelons & peas growing around the outside with radishes, lettuce and garlic growing in the middle.
I have found grow bags to be super useful in comparison to the raised beds that came with my place, easy to move (except the 50 gallon ones) easy to water and fertilize. The raised beds at my place just used the dirt already in the backyard so they are full of clay and the stuff I planted there does grow, just about 1/4 the speed of whats in my grow bags. Ive been slowly digging out a foot deep of the clay filled dirt and replacing it with new compost and triple mix soil as I harvest the plants that were already in there and its really helped, things in those spots growing far faster now.
Man I wish I had a warmer climate to grow some of those fruits here in cold canada and have a longer growing season. Would also love the USA's 1st & 2nd.

Natalie's garden is such an inspiration and reminds me a lot of my own! I'm still living with my parents while in college so my garden is a bit limited and a lot in containers but one of the first things I added was backyard livestock: coturnix quail and rabbits. I think raising your own meat, if you can handle it, is such a good step towards self sufficiency and it feels great to have that kind of connection with where your food comes from. Rabbits (and also quail) are such a great sustainable meat and fertilizer source if you can get over how cute they are. Loved the garden and interplanting tips, and seeing all the rabbit stew ingredients!

Loved this video and that garden is beautiful. we are alot alike I am 5. 2 weigh only 110 and grow everything just like this! Heres a great tip. You can get dirt delivered from a local plant nursery they will fill your truck for you here it is only 28. 00 for a scoopful from their bulldozer. cheap! you buy it by the bag its 8. 00 a cubit foot or two! enough to only fill one of those grow bags. spaking of grow bags I got all of mine 10 gallon on Ebay for only 19. 00 for 15 of them! I also got 7 gallon bags for 15. oo for 12 bags. but you can put multiple plants in one bag! Cheap way to garden along with the cheap totes!

Hi at one point Natalie mentioned growing a root, a fruit, and a flower together. Then I heard that system mentioned in some other video and it made me wonder, what is the origin and the philosophy here? Can you do a video about that please?
(PS i love Natalie's container garden and her easy-going heart and style. I do not love the click-bait title that has nothing to do with the valuable content of this beautiful video)

Rabbit stew. Nice lol. Also my grandma just joined what we all belive to be a cult. They belive that the rapture is going to happen in the next 5 years and have enught meet frozen to feed a naiborhood for about a year or maybe 2. They grow all they have and grow about 1, 000 heads of lettuce for charity every year. It's really interesting to be honest. If anyone has questions just ask. I will gladly awnser lol.

I'm just getting my feet wet with the ideas of companion planting and trap crops. I'd love a list of your and Natalie's favorite crops to plant together.
I have trouble getting my head around intentionally planting attractors. How can you be sure that they won't just become a pest nursery and lead even more pests to your garden than you would have had before?

When a boy--in PDX--I learned that, the Birdseye cannery liked the Marshall strawberry because, with the Marshall they did not need to add sugar!
And, in doing just a little research on this I found that--if I remember correctly--the department of agriculture with the Oregon State University, maintains Marshall strawberry plants, .. .

I am always so amused when I see the Californa gardener seed starting table, just a little table in the corner of the garden. In zone 6a we've all got an old work bench in the basement cleared out and a million growlights over our seedlings like were growing stuff you gotta hide from the cops.

Diatomaceous earth kills beneficialsjust skip the Brussels sprouts, the general ecology is more important. Fine to use FGDE indoors in small amounts (kicking up any sort of dust/powder can be an irritant but Ive used it for decades for fleas and ticks and my elderly lungs are A-OK)

you are both amazing! I've spent probably most on soil as well. I actually went from 10 tomatoes to 25 to over 70+
all thanks to your tips and love giving them away tp friends. I feel as the best thing in gardening is sharing your accomplishments.

Natalie, about 8 years ago I took a quail workshop in Ramona. I was a bit squeamish at first, but it was easy to do and unlike chickens you don't have to mess with the feathers. Plus you get eggs. They make a good small yard choice for livestock.

The fast talking and not showing things like how big the container she is growing the carrots etc. in is super not helpful for our learning. Bugs eating something we cant see she says is fine because I pare it somewhere else huh? Pare?

Have you ever tried growing purslane? It grows beautiful flowers but the plant itself is so good for you. Its considered a weed and grows all over the place and no one seems to know the amazing benefits of it
