While I'm not an expert, I've been researching and experimenting since 2010 on more practical and efficient ways of growing my own food in a limited space (my back yard). These videos will show the evolution of my garden. I hope that they might give you some ideas to use for yourself.
Happy Gardening!

Great idea!
Thanks 😊
No gravel and landscaping fabric around the perfored pipe ?????
Need a cleanout.
I would have used heavier drain tile.That is really light weight and cheaper materials that will fail later and you will just have to dig it all over again.
Nope. Been years for several around the house and never an issue. Thanks for watching.
That large pumpkin looked like it grew on a wire rack to bring your plants up? It that accurate?
Yes. I use the same setup as for my tomatoes. Thanks for watching.
Was it said? If not, it needs to be. DRILL AIR HOLES! Depending what you're using it for, in this case, growing seeds, you need fresh airin and stale air out, otherwise your plants will grow mold, suffocate and die. Also, if you're planning on leaving it outside, drill some holes on the top, for when it rains. And some at the bottom, to drain excess water.
I came to YT specifically to see this video ... good stuff! Thanks
What's the black tubing used to hold the fabric in place?
It's drip hose I cut into pieces and sliced to open up to place over the PVC hose. Thanks for watching.
Good info , thank you
Great.mine i spaced them and happy for harvesting.
Have you ever had male flowers that do not produce pollen. My vines are about8' long but the fruit turns yellow and falls off. Tried pollinating by hand but when I open the male flowers to get at the pollen the anther has none. Seems all the male flowers are like that. Have no idea what to do. Any suggesting what to do?
The male flowers have to open/bloom first. Don't force them open either before or after. Thanks for watching.
@@keithwilkes7629 The blooming open ones have no pollen. Even looked at old ones that have closed up and I don't see any pollen.
Thank you for the great tips. I have 2 raised garden beds and am trying to grow these plants vertically. Do you have a Facebook page?
Nope. No Facebook page. Thanks for watching
thank you. after watching numerous videos yours is the one that is most helpful !
I thought it was supposed to be planted with the skin on??
Great video. Makes so much sense and finally a simplified process. TFS!
NO ROOTS BUT FULL OF DIRT !
Love your explanation 😅
This is the best explained video I've watched ..😊
What are you using to hold yours up off the ground like that is that a cage Is it a fence?
That's just a planter I had built for potatoes.
Don’t forget to cal Miss Dig!
Our Halloween pumpkin got forgotten about near the edge of my deck . I did throw them out eventually . Apparently not before seed dropped from it . Months later we got a pumpkin plant . Its still kind of small but its doubled in size . So I thought I should look into how to encourage fruiting .
Thank you for sharing I always wondered about that
All these gardeners need lessons in how to handle tools correctly.
Is that 4” corrugated pipe?
Yes. Thanks for watching
Should have wrapped that pipe with drain fabric. You’re gonna get roots through those holes in a couple years and clog your system
Looks great Keith!
Your videos are excellent & very much appreciated! I just water rooted 2 garlic cloves. Can I plant them in a pot now (june1st in Connecticut)? Thank you!! 🧄
I would say that would be fine to plant them in a pot. Make they stay watered as pots dry out quickly. Thanks for watching.
Never heard of the issue concerning planting the blackberry close to blueberry plants. Interesting.
Nice I've been going at 18" good to know.
هيج 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Keith. How do you get water to the farthest end of the farthest bed just using a water barrel? Seems like there wouldn't be enough pressure, especially at the far end. Help me understand. Thanks
It's a closed system. Everything got watered. Thanks for watching.
I like the wood 2x4, make-shift T-connector. It appears sturdy. The plumbing t-connectors I use wobble and the conduit can slip out if t-posts move.
im gonna do this ... thank you
Thanks for clarifying steps!
I want to do the same. I think I may have it dumped in my subway on a tarp though so it closer lol wish I cld have them just drive up in the grass honestly lol
Do you make any holes for ventilation or not
I didn't. Only use if it's below 45 - 50.
Wish I’d seen this beforehand, what a great idea. Thank you.
i have seen alot of methods, most are overkill and pvc is expensive. But, this is the 1st, video, that i have seen that is all you really need to get the job done efficiehtly and cost effective, witrhout tooo much digging
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Super pomysl,lapka w gore i na zdrowie.............
Missed seeing ur face, otherwise greetings from Uganda, East Africa
Unless it’s going to freeze you can leave it outside. If it’s only goes in to 40’s it’s not going to stunt them over night.
Nice
That was a perfect carrot. Smaller sweet winter carrots sell the best. Nice grow
Just wondering how you control the humidity level inside since there are no holes? It could get pretty hot inside on a very sunny day.
Outstanding!!
It's been working well for me for years. Thanks for watching.
Perforated is used when the piping doesn't slope enough to drain properly. But perforated needs a 'sock' wrapped around it to prevent debris build up from blocking the holes. The sock allows excess water to drain out and doesn't let debris in. If you have enough slope, you don't need perforated.
THANK you for JUST SHOWING THE PROCESS, not yammering on about this and that! LOL. yes info is good to get but sometimes you just wanna cut to the chase. I would like to have maybe a caption appear for est. cost but really I can find my own prices.. LOVE THIS
Prices will be different according to where you live and inflation, not that there's been much of that lately. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Will do and give u updates
