@whitneyjmcfarland: Replying to @Destiny• mom | homesteading Lots of questions about how I started our small backyard garden out of the soil bags from my last video- and it’s really this one simple hack: planting in soil bags. this is the very first method I used when I started gardening and I’ve had a lot of success with it! It’s also a lot less intimidating if you are first starting out. I wanted to build the skills and learn how grow my own food and just do something fun + outdoors with Reign… but i didn’t have the space or commitment to creating this huge fancy outdoor garden ( also I really had no clue what I was doing and so I didn’t want to invest too much into this skill learning hobby and then mess up and all my money go to waste 😂) After trying this, and some other methods, planting out of soil bags *especially if you have kidsthat want to be involved* was the most simple and cost-effective way to getting started. Other reasons I love it: • I don’t have weeds sprouting through- I don’t want to have to use a bunch of chemicals or constantly pull weeds from the garden beds • I can move these around to another spot and keep it temperature controlled if needed • super cheap, especially if the vegetables don’t grow as I planned or I mess something up. $8.99/bag at Costco but I prefer going to your local nursery and finding a higher quality organic soil • this took maybe 30 minutes in total, and reign helped. So easy and quick! I am no expert gardener, so if you have any cool tips you love, please share!! And if you ever try this, please let me know🪴 #gardeningtips #gardeninghack #gardeningwithkids #familytime #outdooractivities #MomsofTikTok #kidsactivities #growyourfood #ideasforkids #growingfood #growingfoodathome #healthyliving #eatrealfood #selfsufficient #selfsustainable #sahm #homesteading #fyp
