John, what do you do about the lead content in your hose valves and sprayer nozzles? You stressed food-safe hoses, but all hose fittings in my area have the CA warning about lead.
I wanted one of these after watching your earlier video but couldn't justify the expense. So lucky I never bought one. I guess I'll take your recommendations for what they're worth in the future … nothing.
Thanks John for the update. 🥗
Great vids .I have more indoor experience than outdoor gardening.Recently i have created a sytemic immunity response with humic acid , kelp , vitamin b ,silica all organic.I hear you can make a foliar spray.Use the plant immunity.Guess it has to be turned on or up.Look up raw nutrients
I could fabricate a bulb cutter for you, maybe I could trade you gardening tips for a bulb cutter, im also in vegas, I would just need to know an approximate size dia. and depth.
So do you hate the product or the company?
Just watched this today, just bought the Hudson Commercial backpack sprayer 3 days ago. Oi-vey!
foil ear spray
I am getting ready to build a raised garden bed actually 3 I am going 4ft x 8ft and 2ft high I am in a wheelchair and planning to make garden. We have a very good local compost center that the city does and I was planning to use that to fill up my beds. Besides that I plan on adding rock dust and perlite and worms to the bed. Is there anything else you would recommend? Maybe coconut core? I am so excited to get my hands into the dirt and do something worthwhile. My husband is planning to fix the pathways so my chair can make it through. Your show has been a huge inspiration for me. Thank you so much
I love this video, John is angry!
I was hoping he’d mention the good for nothing Boogie Brew BS. Omg anything from company is a total lie.
What would you suggest for white fly infestation? They cover my kale, broccoli, collards, etc. every year. I organically garden and live in zone 7 by the Atlantic Ocean.
I don't understand what's wrong with the vertical grow pot
what about using the spray fogger to spray compost tea or effective microorganisms
It's funny you mention the Harbor Freight tile saw. I know a tile guy that uses their saw and says it works just fine. He did a shower for me and it worked great. For ALL Harbor Freight tools look for reviews online and on Youtube. The truth is out there. And in many cases the truth is the Harbor Freight tools can be pretty good.
Piece of JUNK!!!!
Really liked this video thanks for this
I'm surprised those companies would ignore you considering just how many people follow you on you tube. Thanks for the heads up.
Get a white hose to prevent the water from getting hot in the hose.
Thanks
Blumat watering systems should be a nice replacement for the bulbs!
I do not know about in the USA but water filters need to be replace every six month may be changing a better company brand need to shop around. for killing pests I just use a bit soapy water or chilli and water or vinegar and water
We now make a vertical multi-level watering system for the Garden Tower 2 that solves your problem of uneven watering in the Garden Tower. The watering cycles are only 15 seconds long. Here is a link for you to check out. https://www.facebook.com/433172290067712/videos/1446114315440166/
I watched all those videos of the products you mentioned just in the past day or two! What are the odds? lol
garden tower def looked gimmicky…also way too expensive. companies always trying to take advantage of gardeners
I appreciate your insights but really wish you would update the original videos–it was chance I came across this one that contradicts other videos I've watched and made buying decisions from.
