before you try the brick gardening, try and think about what youre planting and how often you want to be doing that. the sand under bricks helps level them and support the weight on top. If you plant things with wide spreading roots and plan on doing that over and over you may end up making the ground uneaven by rooths pushing the bricks up/roots rotting and causing mini-sinkholes. Also keep in mind whats deeper down, different areas may have different things underneath the brick and sand that could be damaged by deep piercing roots, or lead to contamination with heavy metals or other things that you might not want in your crops.
Pick the roght plants and in the right areas im sure it works great, but like most things, if you use it in a way it wasnt designed for for a long time, it probably will have some downsides at some point, somewhere.

I have to chuckle at what it must be like to be one of the folks who makes these hardcore wrong videos. What made this become a thing? Are they like successful and earning a living solely off of making this content? It s such an odd modern phenomenon of our digital culture. One of those things that in thirty years someone can be like oh man do you remember the onslaught of fake viral life hack videos? And it will trigger a forgotten memory deep in the recesses of our collective brain?

I mean the banana dragon fruit one would work if you started the banana tree first then grow the dragon fruit next, taking a three sisters growing method approach. I'm thinking of doing something like that with my decorative Arizona cactus and using it to hold up my dragon fruit onto instead of a trellis. However I want to find a variety of straight growing cactus that also grows fruit or is edible to hold the dragon fruit up.

Kevin & Jacques, for the wine bottle, there is a oya-type clay product that is basically a 5 inch spike with a hole in center wide enough for the mouth of a wine bottle or similar sized so you can do the same thing as in the video, but ideally improved since it's got the clay component. I tried it out with mixed results. I think I need to re-explore how I deployed it, next year.

Great sale, guys but seriously? Why do you have specials on only ONE thing per day? You re making more work for you and/or your staff and costing your customers more money for shipping individual items rather than just shipping an entire order together.

Gotta disagree with the 10/10 on cinematography on that grape-producing tomato. I mean, come on, they could have at least moved the flowers out to the ends of the grapes instead of the grapes somehow emerging outside of the flower. 6/10 at best.

The apple robot harvester looks fake or concepts some apples are harder to harvest and it would pull on the branches and drop all loose apples connected trying to grab a harder to pull one. it happened to me harvesting by hand

I don't know if your aware or not but I'm pretty sure this video is unlisted or something. I can only see it through one of your Playlists. Sorry if I don't understand, just thought I'd say something incase there is a mistake

Anyone wondering yes the Banana tree picture is AI created. And the video is faked. It's most likely from South East Asia probably same country as the guy with those Tick videos that are just glued sunflower seeds

For all the flack that this is rightfully getting, I DO now wonder about using a fruit tree or similar as a living center post for a dragonfruit frame. The root spacong would be tricky at best, but its a thought.

Ga. That fake garden hack. I hate how good it looks. I hate these vids because they make people quit, angry and confused at why they re not replicating the results for doing nothing wrong.

The window method is how my local botanical garden pollinates their two corpse flowers. The beetles and flies the stench attracts is supposed to pollinate it but the window is a fail safe.

But what I want to know is WHY? What is the benefit of going to all the trouble to create FALSE gardening hacks? Who benefits? Grape sellers? Toothpaste companies?
I don't get it.

LOL last year I came home from work one day my roommate had taken one of my potted plants in the house and put a big old nail in the soil thinking that would help it with some iron LOL

Epic Homesteading, the hack with the bananas& dragonfruit gotta be fake because what was not shown where there are no dragonfruit stems fused into the banana plant itself at all.

I love the editing in these videos. The question marks next to Jacques in response to the toothpaste on the tomato hack --these little touches make it SO funny to me!

You maybe have to be careful with the wine bottle trick. I think I saw someone fried their tomatoes with the lensing caused by the glass bottle
