Im really LOVING these videos Robbie!!! You have a perfect knack of teaching and entertaining at the same time! 😊Liz
I use coffee filters to cover the drainage holes in pots.
I think the dyi plant support is my favorite ❤ Not only is it free for some, but l love the look of this.
Cover drain holes with drywall tape. Doesn’t rot or rust. Water flows out. Critters can’t crawl in. Fine Gardening tip 50 years ago!
I love that you included sun protection in your tips!
Good morning I’m in Britain and I’m 81 and I’ve know most tricks, in my garden but many of yours today absolutely brilliant you don’t waffle on about nothing you get straight to the point and your Garden is an absolute joy to look at I have just subbed most enjoyable thank you
Robbie, I make plant supports from galvanized wire tomato cages. I spray paint them black and use a wire cutter to separate the rings. I have three sizes of rings from one cage, they all have 'legs,' and as you always say, the black paint makes them disappear. Enjoy my garden hack,.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put all these tips together for us!
I just discovered you. It’s like talking to a fellow gardener v AI. Can’t wait to watch more. We’re in zone 5a.
Ah i love you do the dollar store baskets! I do too! They are so great!
Your delivery on this video was perfection. Great video work, editing and terrific tips.
I bought a cute small yellow umbrella for my Fushia plant to shade the afternoon sun off of it. I think they look cute. I did that with my clearnce plants in the tray with water and fertlizer made a huge differnce. I bury one of theose Dollar tree baskets, add kitchen scraps and a little tore up cardboard. Dig a hole in my bed and some leaves, soil, kitchen scraps, cover with chopped leaves or grass, and works come and go thru the holes and you get worm castings for free. Pull back the leaves and scoop out repeat the process.
Tip 1 - brilliant!!!! I've done the water but never thought about adding a bit of fertilizer. And love your idea of having one pot to keep all of your plant tags. Mine are all over the place or get thrown away.
Good morning, May your hard work always be rewarded with beautiful results and may God protect you in your daily work.
Hi Robbie. My husband said he has seen it all when I bought and put plant umbrellas over my plants. I did get that tip from you about 2 years ago. So Thank you
Morning Robbie, you make even the tips videos fun to watch with all the different views from your beautiful garden! Thanks! Love seeing Freya following you ❤

I have always used broken pot pieces in the bottom of my pots to keep the soil from falling out. I have also used coffee filters to line the bottom of pots for my small houseplants.
Everything you shared today has been fabulous! The sprinkler that adjusts was a wow because it is adjustable! The most important one is sunscreen!! I have been battling skin cancers off and on for 30 years and use those sunscreen, long sleeves, long pants and big rimmed hats! Love the gardens! Beautiful back drop for the whole video!
Great ideas. Love the toad idea. 🐸
