You could also buy them at Harbor Freight
I love your energy and enthusiasm. You motivate without being pushy. Take care
Thank you for your tips about the soldering iron. I used to either wait for my husband to charge the cordless drill or try to use it myself and remember how to change the drill bits. 😕😖 Now I just get out my soldering iron and Voila! Holes in just a few minutes. 😀😊😁
Thank you for the info, I didn't even know dollar store sell those, love , love all your hummingbirds .
This was so helpful. TFS
Hi Robbie 👋 thanks for the info. 🙂
Going to start my tub garden today. Thanks so much for all information on how to do it. I have started bell peppers and other peppers from seeds out of the ones I bought. The one plant I have growing all winter long in my south window. Will but it outside next month when it wont freeze at night. You are a wonderful person to help people like me. I also do the hummingbird feeders but don't know when I should put them out this year. I live in southern New Mexico.
Thank you for all your information I love your videos and am using alot of your tips I look so forward to your videos
Thanks for your input, it is appreciated. Also, just to note for those watching ….never leave your soldering iron unattended, like Robbie said they get really hot and can cause a fire. Safety precautions always 😊 Robbie you and Gary are such an inspiration Thanks again! ✨✨✨
I saw you doing this last year and I have been using it to make holes every since. That is one of the best ideas that I have come across. Thank you! 👍😀🌱🌻🌼😍🌷
A wet sponge 🧽 will work good. Not real wet.
Thank u for the demonstration on ur garden tool. I love all the friends u have there in the background lol. Soon they will be flying here to Pennsylvania. If u can give kitty a 💋 from me. She is so darling. :)) have a great day! And keep up the great ideas. Bcuz we all love watching u come up with so many neat creativity. ❤❤❤
Thenks fan
I love hummingbirds, they are such tiny, beautifully coloured birds. Did you know they are the only bird that can fly backwards? I wish I lived in a country that has hummingbirds.
Thanks for this Idea. 🌞
Great timing! I juts ordered one today from Amazon. I wanted one with great reviews and this on has 5 different heads and 60 W. It cost me $14. I am a bit concerned about the fume when the plastic melts. How toxic is that? I am going to use it outside on my deck and probably wear a mask though.
Thanks Robbie! I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Couple more weeks and I’ll be putting HB feeders out. 💕from Ky.
My son has one and I'm gonna steal it Lol
Thank you for sharing Robbie, my son's name is Robert and I'm the one who calls him Robbie🙂
Hi Robbie my question is have you ever planted a fruit tree from a seed and if you did how do you go about it.
Love your videos, I have made a solar fountain for the birds and now (it took awhile for them to use it) have sweet green and yellow finches that come to drink & bath, it is so fun to watch. I also planted veggies in my first tote, so I am excited to watch them grow!
I thought I would be really crafty and use a melmac serving dish for my solar fountain…That is NOT going to work with the soldering iron.
(might with a drill?) She is using items that are Plastic, which is what I thought melmac was….it's not really. Be sure and listen to Robbie. Use a table when making holes (especially when using the soldering iron for the first few times) and have a dish to put it on as she suggested. I burned my finger rather badly on my attempt with melmac, totally my own fault. I am going to make another fountain, soon. I have a little plastic water can, so I'm hoping to make one similar to the one in a previous video.
Hi Robbie, I would love to know if I can use a Papaya from the market to propagate the seeds?
I’ve been using my soldering iron for a year now thanks to you. It makes life so much easier in the garden. Thanks so much Robbie for that tip! I love watching your channel, love your smile and enthusiasm and all your helpful information! Have a happy day.😄
I use a wood burning tool.
I luv your videos. Going to do my garden like yours this year.
Was wondering what kind of paint do i use for painting my chairs?
THANK YOU !
Robbie i just got 4 medium wadding pools for my garden. How would you suggest I fill these without spending alot of money.
Because if you I bought a soldering iron. I bought mine from Amazon, spent about $12.00. Mine has several tips, I use them all. I use this tool all the time. I love mine.
I have been watching your UTube for about a year and want to tell you how I eat Swiss Chard. I chop and boil, then drain the water. Take a sharp fork and get a little chard and dip it in your favorite salad dressing. Like dipping lobster in butter. I love chard this way. I also like dipping blueberries in sour cream!
Just watched your fig video. Did you ever take cuttings from the strawberry fig tree?
I use a coffee cup to hold my iron. Love watching you, thank you for all the tips. an sharing your humming birds with use.
Hello friend thanks for sharing your vedio great ideas new subscribers watching from California
Dangit! I spent $20 on mine and it still wiggly. :-/
Robbie do you have a video on how you prepare your containers for the new season? Do you remove your soil/compost or just keep layering? I love your videos!!!
PREEEEEAAACCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! i bought one to make amateur electronics but i tried it with my pots and IT IS THE best gardening tool indeed.
Yay!!! Thanks for the tips on soldering iron! I do not like using the drill!!
Robbie I can't concentrate those beautiful humming birds are having such a good time! I've never seen anything like that before.
Good information.
Robbie, you ROCK!!!! Love ALL your videos! Keep up being great, and keep em coming!
Thank you, you are so helpful.
We have the same dinner plates, I think they are original Correll. Thank You for all your videos, I have learned so much.
