This is our second post on YouTube with the Topsy Turvy. Everything is going well except for the strawberries. As I feared, after checking out other videos here, I caught the bug and this morning I forced my wife into the car and off to the local nursery we went. Down the aisles I ran tossing supplies into the cart as I pulled her behind me….hangers, pots, Miracle Gro w/ Moisture Control and of course more vegetables. We got home and immediately started cutting the centers out of the containers, putting up the hangers and began planting. Hope you enjoy our video and if anyone has any advice or suggestions, please feel free to post them. Thanks for watching!

Everything looks great! Good luck with everything! Have you fertilzed your strawberries? They look dry and nitrogen deficient. Just a guess.
The containers look awesome. You have lots to follow now. Best of luck and I’ll be watching.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I’m very impressed by your containers for sure.
No…I have not. But thanks for the tip. I know your strawberry leaves were as green as ever. Thanks again!
Looking good, looking good! Keep up the good work, let ’s be patient and never give up, and watch our gardens grow.
another person to subscribe to! keep doing these updates they are great! Have you seen a guy named jason’s series? his youtube name is 14dollarz and you and him are doing around the same thing which is awesome. I just started my green thumb this year last year anything i touched died. Im currently growing sweet basil, hot cherry peppers, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and 4 water melon jouvelniles about the suze ofm yours. Nxt year ill do a series like this and get some subscribers hopefull =] .
Thanks for commenting. Yes, I’ve seen his vids, and he is one of the reasons I’m doing this. I’ll surely watch for your series!
hi…what kind of soil did you use? i just did mine and i used potting soil instead of garden soil…is that a mistake?
they look great really green and healthy
First..I don’t endorse the brand, this is just what I use. I mix 1/3 Miracle Gro Garden Soil for Flowers and Veggies, 1/3 Miracle Gro Potting Mix w/ Moisture Control and 1/3 Bumpercrop. I sprinkle in a little blood meal and a little bone meal. I also crush up 2 egg shells and put them in the tomato soil. I am by no means an expert…there are a lot of better gardeners out there…that’s just what I use. Thank you for asking and good luck with yours!
Thanks much! I have found that the most important thing is to water them regularly. Since everything I have is in containers, they drink up the water fairly quickly.
Thanks for posting your video. I’m going to try some of your suggestions.
@jwdicks You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know how you do!
Hey, great vid! I have a full garden growing of those invisible plants. I can mail you guys some seeds if you would like to try those out. Peace!
@Sventasis That would be awesome! I’ll send you some invisible cash! Thanks for commenting!
the bugs have been all over the basil bad in my garden and on my peppers too.. i sprayed them with a mix og garlic…cayann pepper and a little bit of dishsoap……. 1 table spoon garlic and cayann…. couple squirts of dish soap per quart or so
still waiting to see how it works hopefully itll keep those bugs off
@partyongarth420 very ingenious. lemme know how it works.
reduce the sun exposure for the strawberry plants.
