I Garden tons in Totes but here I am building ways to Garden in Cardboard boxes, the BOX GARDEN. Understand how to make it work to grow food and create next years garden compost garden soil. Grow tomatoes, peppers, squash, zucchini, carrots, lettuce, radishes, cucumbers and so much more for a few seasons.
Grow annual plants and create soil at the same time.

OMG you are the best, I tried your tub graden last summer and my veggies were so abundant. Thank you for sharing your Garden tips with us
Just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I love your videos. It's so great that you use what you have. Thank you for teaching people how to supplement their diet with healthy, economical food. You should be proud of yourself.
I need all the help I can get, everything is getting so expensive.
You never cease to amaze me!
Robbie, I am definitely not a gardener AT ALL. I have tried tower gardens and can NOT grow a thing. I even kill jalapenos. Your videos on container tote gardening has inspired me and I have purchased a few 18 gallon totes to try my luck once again. I have subscribed and have sifted thru your videos to find out exactly where you drill the holes on the totes on your chairs. I will also use chairs (great idea-TX). So it seems the totes will slant towards the back of the chair so do I drill holes on the front and back end of the totes? I want to follow all of your advice to give me every advantage possible. Then do i just plan foods by my zone? I live in Western NC. Thanks for any advice or help. Thanks for the inspiration… I am a prepper and have lots of canned food because I would starve to death if I had to depend on growing my own food. Wish me luck.
I enjoy your videos! My kids and I are starting a container garden this year. We appreciate your videos and all the helpful information!
I used boxes last year to grow a variety of vegetables. It was very successful and I was incredibly pleased with how it worked out. (Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, kale, carrots, cantaloupe, spinach, zucchini) I went around the outside of each box with duct tape, just one or two strips. I did not cover the entire box. That gave me assurance the box would not fall apart. I am so excited for this next growing season!
One word of caution for any type of container gardening. I live in Oklahoma and have found that containers left directly on the ground will sometimes have a snake under them when you move them. So be careful whenever you need to move them.
How long do I have to leave the compost alone before filling the soils and ready to grow ? Thank you!
Can u put a trash bag in it with a whole at the bottom to drain
Love your enthusiasm Robbie!
What wire fencing are you using here? Where can I locate them?
Smart…the price of lumber is thru the roof!
You know the pepper tree will find its way into those boxes robbing the nutrients

Nice👍👍👍👍
This is why I refuse to throw my shipping boxes away lol
Love shelving look! Pack boxes tight together n cram logs or leaves or more cardboard between fence n boxes. Been planting in boxes since they started overwhelming recycle bin years ago. Be sure to reinforce boxes somehow….. put a box in a box in a box or build a palletwood or fence wire frame . Everything I plant get cardboard in the ground somehow. When I start a new garden bed or am filling trash cans to plant in I fill small boxes with the mud that is our natural soil. Put in bottom ofraised beds n large planters with sticks n logs for air space. Worms love this n transform it! Put a box in freezer…. drop in kitchen scraps. When full , bury it.
Does the heat from that wall heat up the soil causing it to dry out faster?
I just watch something similar a couple weeks ago that I'm going to be doing and that's using cardboard and chicken wire for raised beds. After a couple of years they pulled the chicken wire off and now they just have raised garden beds in different rows and I'll be doing the same thing
Hi Robbie and Gary, thank you kindly. This box gardening is new to me! But I am willing to try it, thanks.
Chewy should give you free pet food/supplies for the brand showing! I love Chewy!
Cardboard is wonderful worm food worms produce the best fertilizers. Win win. My first layer in my raised beds is cardboard.
I so sorry to say this but it looks not pretty at all 😟I have problem with the looks , I would rather have pain in my back but not look at some thing ugly 😄
I agree. I have used boxes for honey nut squash, herbs and lettuce. Worked wonders. The boxes do breakdown, but they end up going back into the soil. It worked out. So, this season the soil looks fantastic.
The shot of the roach taking a piece of debris wit it. 🤣
👍❤️☺️
I love ur channel ur so creative
You can put annual flowers the bees like in those boxes
Watching this again and I'm so glad you decided to do this and I am doing this. There's really no better way to use up something that fills up garbage trucks every day. I've never seen so many cardboard boxes in my life.
I feel like if you add wood in the into the box raised beds the plants will be happier in my opinion
If anybody is having trouble growing trees I would recommend growing them on the biggest tote you can afford
Safety: I figure if the earthworms and roly poly bugs survive, I'll survive.
