Very good information. Thank you.
Great advice, thank you. Never thought about growing plants in potting soil bag.
First year over of having an allotment and I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos and this is by far my number one go to. Brilliant, quick and effective advice without all the terrible filming, well done.
Top tip for growing anything…once planted, water really well and leave the watering for about a week, this encourages roots to spread. Doing this caused an abundance of crops and sizes.
I fancy your videos. my garden expanded last growing season! I still work on a small scale veg garden, but I tried new crops like broccoli, radish, and onions. my onions failed. I went away for ten days and returned to a jungle. I may try the cardboard this year! as always, I appreciate your videos. thank you!
Lots of great ideas !
Wow, I have never seen the #4 approach before! 2:41 I really think that the removal of weeds and laying cardboard with at least 4 inches of organic matter is a great no dig method!
I tried growing spinach in the potting soil bags – it failed miserably. Gowing to put in lettuce instead. The potting soil might be too rich for radishes but I’ll try broccoli.
I use my 4 wheeled garden tote to transport 4 Five gallon buckets full of water that I collect from my 275 gallon rain water tote to easily transport them to my plants for watering. Along with this, I have a small 2 gallon bucket with a scoop that I use to take the water out of the 5 gallon buckets and water the plants. It’s MUCH easier to manage than lugging around heavy 5 gallon buckets full of water. It saves me LOTS of time and hassle.
Great video. Did you create the garden software? I want that!
Great tips.
I love those grow bags! Wish we had them here in Canada.
You are so smart and crafty when it comes to garden tips😂 thank you I’ll try and use one of these for habanero seedlings.
Brilliant! thanks for this idea!
BRIllANT when do you harvest winter onions help 😙
Very knowledgeable, thanks🍎
This was amazing, thanks for taking the time for making videos. The cardboard needs to be super saturated for the roots of the plants to grow through, FYI 🙂
Brilliant advice. Thank you. X
Yet again another great video, thank you 🙂
clear vinyl shower curtains stapled over raised beds + grow box for early start and reduced need for transplants
Thank you from Long Island, USA!
I wonder why most of this videos I watched on organic gardening based on US and UK only use Compost? I didnt see you suggest or make organic fertilizers. This is very encourgaing that it seems so easy
Great tips! Thank you.
Speaking of drying out, I lined my raised beds with a vinyl roofing material. This seemed to help with moisture retention, as it stopped leaching from the sides. Absent access to scrap roofing material, a couple of good coats of exterior paint would work, too.
Excellent tips. Thanks.
Thank you for this excellent advice to start me off this season.
This one was awesome! Now fess up, did you fall behind on the garden this year and have to take some shortcuts to catch up?
When making seed tapes to store for a while, don’t make the flour and water paste too wet or the blobs too big, or your radish seeds begin to swell in prep for germination 😒
you help me alot XD
its so hard to take care of the vplants especially when u are doin it alone
awesome work plant bro!
Great video and so new to me ideas!
Want to try the cardboard one. Old garden over run with briars. Need to get it back going. Did have worms established in it at one time hopefully I can get them back and the soil recovered. Just heard about no dig. Believe I ‘ll try that for fun.
Have a friend uses the bag. Her sister just dumps it where she wants to plant. (Doesnt like the look of the bag).Both seem to work well for them. Personally I like pine straw or leaves to cover soil.
Here’s a tip – about 5-10 minutes before you go to work, walk around your garden, and do some basic weeding and removal of small twigs and the like. That way it doesn’t take you so long to manage your garden when you have free time to do the big stuff, like removing the tree that fell in the windstorm.
Of course, that’s if your garden is in your yard, and not somewhere else.
Not gonna lie…I watch for the awesome accent. (p.s. But the info isn’t too shabby, either…)
i love all your videos — thank you!
Which is better growing in pots or in the soil to the ground
green thumbs up
As always excellent video. Thanks.
👋😊
👍
We use old bathtubs for growing beds. No need to worry about bugs eating away at the wood like in wooden beds and it’s great because the tubs have drain holes and overflow holes.
Another strategy is ignoring your family and neglecting your job….. just sayin’
interesting
Oh dear,,two things in here i cannot do,#1 mulching with straw between rows…i get a lot of snakes good place for them to hide in.. i.e i have chooks = grain = mice..#2 is i have the weed called "wild onion weed’ you have to dig this up bulb an all no smothering that with cardboard! But the grow bags? Brilliant! Might do that for seed raising.
Thank you for all the great information
Great ideas. I like the idea of using chips on pathways. This gives me more uses for the chips generated around my homestead. I can only compost so much at given the amount of green stuff I produce.
