any tips on starting Salmon Berries?

Thanks!

Genialne ❤

Will regular bagged potting mix be fine for the wicking medium, as well as to fill the entire bed?

Does the liner keep the wood dry or does it tarp moisture against the wood? I think people thought it would help with dragon fruit trellis but it made it deteriorate faster.

Thanks for sharing your lessons learned for improvements.

Add another 5 gal bucket with a float valve with water hose. Now connect water bucket to 5 gal grow bucket with pvc at your 4 or 5" water level. Now you have a AUTO WATERING SELF WICKING SYSTEM.

We just had our siding, facia and trim replaced with covers. Now for the first time we have a bee in the wall doing its worst every day almost all day, where our invalid father stays. We can't find the hole and never see it. It is located on a 3rd story corner. Our love of nature just went down the tubes.

Awesome episode. I've been wondering how the SIP bed was doing. It's been years now. I have one really important question. Not about the bed, but about your potting mix. Have you ever dug it out and replaced it? Or simply added more as the level invariably drops? Also, what fertilizer do you use in that bed? Thanks -Chuck

In 3 years I've seen the quality of lights go down like allot or these companies are jus throwing garbage at us without care. 🤷🤔

I made a big wicking bed 3 m by 1.5 m a number of years ago modifying your plans a bit. It is sitting on the ground (not below ground level). The only thing I have to do sometimes is top up the "soil" and it is still going strong! Thanks.

We just finished building our second 15' *4' can't wait to see all the veggies it will yield this year! The 10'*4' one were built a few years ago worked great!

Great informative video sir!!! Nice to see what happens over time and why we have troubles on occasion. Good choices to fix those troubling problems. Real good video!

Thanks, it's a very useful video

Great video. I am doing SIPs for the first time this year. I followed your video and made them in food grade 55 gallon tubs cut in half. My tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and squash are doing well, but some plants, like beans, seem to do the same in the SIP as they did in a traditional raised bed.

Hypothetical question: If I make an array of ultra-high-efficiency home-lighting LEDs, like the one you show at 6:23 (say in the 120 lumen per watt category), would these be an okayish alternative for grow-lights? If I supplement the warm-white with a few "special" LEDs, say 395nm or 750nm, would it make growth meaningfully better? I'm not looking for "medicinal" plants, just kitchen-garden herbs; the ridiculously cheap home-lights (2024) are skewing the "bang for the buck" story, imo.

Nice looking planter to be sure! Have you considered a sand/peat base media? Gary Matsuoka of Laguna Hills Nursery has an interesting UA-cam take on compost media vs sand! 💯✌️🦚

You can cut cardboard BEAUTIFULLY using a bread-knife!

In the fall of 2020 I built a sip bed. 3ft by 6ft following your plans. I put it up on legs though. I absolutely love it. By far the best garden bed we have. I have thousands of red wiggler worms in there. Used 45 mil tpo roofing for a liner. Having it up on legs is awesome. No bending over. I closed it in and insulated so that I can put a heat lamp under in the winter. Plastic hoop cover on top . Allows me longer grow season. Doubles as a warm cat house also cause I put a small door. Eastern Oregon high desert. 110 in summer 0 in winter. I water once per week in the heat. Every thing else 2 per day. You have By far the best design sip on UA-cam. Thanks so much.

Oooh I'm glad that you have posted a new video! I just finished creating another 4 SIP bins. Still dripping sweat, I just came in a minute ago from a lunchtime gardening session :). I literally think about your advice and videos for 7 months of the year, and have for a few years now, so thank you. I wanted to actually ask you a question: I loved the original ratios that you had created, and have used them for a few years. The one thing I don't love as much is the labour for mixing the peat, perlite, coir, and then the vegetable mix after the base layer. How do you feel about mixes of porous and airy substances that are pre-made, like Promix HP or Sunshine #4? Also, I've built some this year using Costco clear storage bins and they are a near perfect fit for 3 pipes wide. A huge part of this for me is how do we make it so easy and affordable that anyone with space can have a growing container. I'm thinking about scalability, ease of building them, and how to get everyone growing their own produce now more than ever. Last year I did a whole whack of tomatoes and they loved the setup, so this summer I'm doing a whole whack of them to make litres and litres of pasta sauce. I've also got big plans for automation, but that's just for fun theory ;) Keep up the good work

Stright to the point thanks man

I like the build. Maybe varnish would make the wood last longer. Or some protective paint.

I think I'm going to use a much larger sump so that I can aerate or put a small pump in there to increase the quality of the water for the plant-roots. Maybe even have a solar pump on a timer so that in the summer the water cycles to keep the soil moist throughout the hottest parts of the day.

Ya, CCA wood was restricted for residential use in 2004 so you're not getting much more than 5-7 years with the new mix of treatment. That root issue is common, The liner needs to go all the way to the top-rim of the bed & you need a cap to help keep moisture off the backside of the wood. Paint will keep moisture off the frontside of the wood.

Well now i know how to rebuild mine next year or two. Whenever the wood decides to give way

I followed your tutorial for the SIP here in West Texas and it’s been absolutely amazing so far! Only a couple growing seasons deep, but it’s a game changer here where the summer temperatures are constantly about 110°.

Thanks so much for this. Was wondering how long can u leave the sprouting seeds in plastic? Until leaves? Specifically I’m doing lychee. Thank u!

I planted this in Idaho and it is doing great. My only problem is getting fruit. So far I have gotten very few and they have all be hollow. Anyone have an idea why?

I don’t know if I’d eat the seeds

Thank you so much for this information. My husband just planted one outback. He needs to know we can’t let it overtake but they are beautiful. And yes I would love the flowers in the fruit. Thanks for the video you got some beautiful flowers. I hope ours is dark purple.💜💜💜💜

Lmao thank you for trying to set that vine on flower 😂

Totally trying this! All the supplies are purchased. Now to assemble! Thanks for sharing!! ❤

What is the name of first seeds you sprouted in this video?

Will it work for cherrys

does anyone know anything special about the spiderfarmer LM301H evo? how do they differ, besides the diodes?

nice helpful video. Thx

Bro you should not be looking at these without glasses man!

I have a 30 foot poison sumac tree

thanks for this info my man helped a lot with my bonsai seedlings😁

Outstanding video!😊

I'd love to see the nutritional information. That would be interesting. Also, can plants choose to bring n some nutrients, but refuse others? (Like if you add NPK to the water, can the plant uptake N and P, but not K... or can the plant bring in free calcium, but refuse to uptake free zinc or free iron?

I just read that red plants (plants with red leaves) require more green and purple light, because of the lack of red light they bring in. There are red species of marijuana and hemp (and many other plants)... but I've never heard of Any grow lights having any real green or purple light. In fact, the "full spectrum" LED lights used nowadays almost always have very little green light and about zero purple light... and I've never heard of anyone adding any green or purple light to grow red colored plants. I think that would be a great test worth performing. If no one else does it, I might try to do it myself when I have the hardware and time.

You're a God. And I've found you.

What a great tutorial, super insightful! Love the "ways to fail". Also like that you said the depth of the bed to give a good reference and the "why" behind it.

Tenax brand bird netting is excellent, too -- strong, doesn't tangle, reusable (their C-Flex deer netting is also top quality). Thanks for the good ideas in this video.

SHORT CLEAR CONSISE nobody has _thyme_ for long un _plant_ videos

Your awesome

Very cool video. Would have likes your description of the taste. Regardless, thank you.

I enjoy the critters and enjoy watching them. I live in a city but next to a vast forest, therefore critters are inevitable. So I plant things they like to munch on along the perimeter. They aren’t keen to come too close so they tend to leave my other plants alone. For me, it works without having to put up fencing or bury metal grills. Living with them in harmony has been as much of a joy as the gardening. Enjoy your beautiful gardens.
