you do realize that if you add compost and worm castings rock dust is unnecessary and does not make a difference so it is a waist of money and rock dust is a non-renewable resource so using it hurts the planet and rock dust takes longer to become bioavailable for your plants.

Question... Do you fill the whole barrel with soil? I do and it's a lot of soil which equals lots of money. Is that's necessary for non root vegetables?

Hey John, loving the short format video as I don't usually have the time to watch the longer types you put out. Rocking a 4x12 raised container bed in my backyard in SF with your help - crazy amounts of kale and beets and radishes - thanks for sharing!

ocean forest is definitely the best soil ive ever used.

Hi John, I live in MN and have marsh mud to use. What needs to be added to make this work. I plan to build a vertical wooden planter and may just keep it indoors under lights. I will use compost after I make some but for this year I would like to use the marsh to save money. Thank you for your videos.

Finding wine barrels where I am is difficult, they cost a mint. I found a supplier of food grade 55 gl drums I was considering using. Any reason I shouldn't? If food grade, is it safe to assume there is less risk of stuff leeching out of the plastic once cleaned? And is there a higher risk of mildew/rot in a plastic container of that size , as opposed to a breathable one of wood? thanks!

I agree with everything you said about container gardening - excellent 5 tips! May I also add, ensure the container is durable don't use cheap containers (at this larger size) because they leach chemicals into the soil mix and won't last. When buying half barrels buy the genuine solid ones with the thick galvanised banding (as in the video) don't buy the cheaper Chinese imitation barrels as they fall apart, rot, and rust in a matter of months - personal experience... Cheers :)

not everybody in the world can walk... :(

Awesome knowledge...

John, what do you think of Larry Hall's idea of growing in cloth grow bags placed in a kiddie pool with a half inch of water? Supposedly the self pruning of the roots and crop yield is fantastic. What do you think?

Hi John! I have a question regarding garden beds. I couldn't find an email address for you so I thought I'd post here. We are relocating our garden bed to a different area and are finding tons of hornedworm tomato bugs hibernating deep in the soil. Last season these full grown bugs destroyed a beautiful tomato plant. How do we prevent them from getting in our garden beds and what plants will they destroy? Thank you for your time and help. Gratefully, Tarah
