update #2 Make free DIY self watering grow bag for vegetable gardening

This is an update to my video on how to make and use a free DIY grow bag for growing vegetables
.Make free DIY self watering grow bag for vegetable gardening Larry Hall inspired.

I got the idea of grow bags from Larry Hall who uses 50 cent Walmart bags and also rain gutters to grow his vegetables. I could not get any Walmart bags so made a tool to poke a ton of holes in my bags of dirt and used them as grow bags and set them into troughs of water made with plastic garbage bag liners and PVC. I think this method is working out well and can not think of a cheaper or easier method of growing plants on my balcony. The bags of dirt only cost at leows. If you try it, be sure to sue a dirt with lots of organic matter so it will wick the water properly.
I don’t get much sun on my balcony as it faces east, so I am experimenting with different vegetables and plants to see what will grow the best in my situation.
I have been eating the sweet potato leaves as they grow very well and will be growing more ginger and have bought some Malabar spinach seeds to try .

here are some of my other gardening videos you may be interested in.
