Well next time use a smaller drill bit to make pilot holes then a bit bigger bit then your final size or siply rest the surface you're drilling directly on a piece of wood for support and you will have 0% chance of your tub cracking while you drill holes
whats a few months?? ive got my first plants going and im planning to harvest July since I planted late March. but im wondering how to store for January next year. Purple taters dont have the long shelf life like the other varietys so just wondeing how long of a shelf life.. lol.. thanks for sharing..
Please don't place your support hand behind your circular saw
Smoke another one
What does the PVC pipe do?
It allows you to fill the reservoir quickly, without having to let the water seep through the soil in the bucket.
How’d it hold up? It doesn’t look very robust…
Hmmm but where did you get your mealworms to start with lol
Problem I'm seeing is the water being channeled to the bottom of the buckets, and the roots way up at the top. They'd have to grow a bunch for the roots to find the moisture. I'd drill holes in the pipes to let the water seep out higher up. How MUCH did it cost for 100 pvc fittings????
If you watch the original video of the series, you’ll see that we have a solo cup with holes filled with soil that hangs down into the water reservoir. Through capillary action, this wicks the perfect amount of water up into the larger bucket to help the plants grow until the roots reach the water below. I had all the fittings left over from various other projects. Thanks for watching!
@@WelcomeBackWoods OK...I didn't see that video. I'm a big proponent of 5 gallon buckets. I half-bury milk jugs with holes in the bottom of mine. I can see where watering all at once is a plus!
Run the drill bit backwards
Gun half broken, knife half broken. Not a big deal ☝️
My only tips - flare the hole toward the bottom and then make sure the top of your concrete is 3-4" below the surface, and then pack dirt above. If you get frost, the ground surface freezes first and will lock that slug in there so it doesn't heave. Combined with the flared hole/slug shape, it will be rock solid!
Stay away from mount shasta
Why?
No rebar ?????
No need for it
Does anyone apply a bead of silicone where the wood meets? on outside and inside of beds?
I wouldn't
the big quetion i where the egg goe? did they put the egg from the whole to the buttom?! is egg sticky and stuck to the top? did u test this and can we use it for industrial mealworm farm?
Run your drill in reverse on plastic... should help with breaking
This is great, thanks so much. 2 questions: • Would it be a good idea to get some plastic screening to cover the holes on the bottom to keep dirt from leaching into the resevoir? • Would food grade plastic would keep nasty chems from leaching into the soil, or is it not really an issue? thanks
Hello! Have not had issues with soil washing down, but you can always take out the top bucket and clean the bottom if needed. I have since started making these systems out of food grade buckets, just to be safe. Happy growing!
Thank you for this. I'm curious as to approx. how much water you used for each hole, after filling them with concrete, and if it's possible to over-fill or under-fill with water, thus causing the concrete to not harden correctly? Thank you again! :)
You can under water, and the concrete would not harden correctly. From my experience, you cannot over water.
That intro… pleasant attitude. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼…If you in business… that’s a golden feather in your hat.
Geat video, thanks.
Congratulations 🎉
Are these pail listed as food safe?
Doubtful, but he’s just growing plants in them, not eating from them. Earthen soils are not approved as food-safe either.
Any concern with them crawling out air holes on top?
A good way to keep soil from leaking out the holes into the water is to put some coffee filters down before you put in the soil. Great design!
lots of water is wasted.... we have to save water.....i prefer to water the plants with the use of cup.....
Are you still doing this
I KNEW NICK WHEN I LIVED IN PESHASTIN WASHINGTON DR. DONALD LEE GRIM 82 VALENCIA PHILIPPINES
Hey ,How do I tell paupa from worms that have shedded there skin,,they all look the same,ones that have shedded are white as well 🤔
Nice design. Great informative video.
Another tip for drilling plastic is to put duct tape on the plastic before drilling.
I dug my holes at the end of summer and everything below the surface was still moist. I felt confident dumping the concrete in dry and have had no issues.
Loved the show
u fink it worth wasting that much time for just a handful of worms?
It’s better if u hear the drill till red hot to make the holes
Here’s a UA-cam video/interview of mick dodge. Info below. It’s an 1:00:38 long. It’s everything about the show about him an everything else. It was uploaded 1 year ago. For everyone in the comments with different questions about this show an guy. “The Red, the White and YOU show” is the UA-cam channel name. The UA-cam title is “Episode 03 Season 04 MICK DODGE”.
great vid, ......my only issue with this is the amount of (non-food-grade) plastic you'll have up against your roots, with the intense sun and temp changes breaking down into micro-plastics for toxic trace-element uptake..
Your happy attitude made my day, and project much better. Thanks brother 🙏 💪
The music is to much my dude.
Thanks man!!
Good work
adorable chickens
Fill ⅓, add water and poke. Fill 2nd third add water then poke. Then add the final amount, water and poke. Leave it alone at least 24 hours, fully cured in 28 days, no matter what.
Very cool, I like it. How long were the stakes you used, how deep into the ground did you set them?
Ty
Hi there, tha k you for sharing. We are planning on doing something similar. I wanted to know if you treated the wood? Or I suppose there is a risk of the wood getting spoilt with the rain, etc?
Yes
I am installing a steel/metal fencing post. The hole that I dug is 3 feet 9 inches deep with a diameter of 14 inches. How bags of Quikrete do you think I would need assuming I want the Quikrete to come up to ground level.
I would get 2 bags
@@paulpersons799 How deep was you hole in the ground?
@@paulpersons799 I thought 2 bags would do it also but several people have told me that i will need about 10 bags for a 3 ft 7 inch hole.
@@paulpersons799 I finished the project. I ended up needing 10 bags. The holes was 14 inches wide and the dept was 3 ft 7 inches. I needed 10 bags.
@BlackHamRadioUniversity oh geeze, I guess that's a wife hole though and almost 4 feet deep. I think I didn't read u post fully. Lol
V good
Good to see mick dodge is doing great
