When I first started gardening I had no idea just how much compost was needed to keep the plants happy… older and wiser, but still having to learn new ways of compost management. Thanks Huw for another excellent video.

I love your videos .
I noticed your lawn had dandelions but your clippings did not. How so? Do you actually go through the clippings and remove them? I think my gardening time would be better well spent 😉 Also, I know you prefer the 'sturdy' seedling modules. I've watched a number of videos and you never explain how to remove the seedlings without harming the roots. With the cheap nursery-type 6-cells you can just give them a bit of a squeeze to get them started to remove. I don't see this as possible with the 'hard' modules. You have such a wonderful presentation style and a voice truly a pleasure to listen to. As we say in Canada, you could sell refrigerators to Eskimos 🙂 Keep up the great work!
Hi Huw
I have made a lot of liquid fertiliser with comfrey leaves last year and I still have some left. Will this be good to use it this year as well?
We are just finishing our second Summer of growing and had just decided to for-go some raised beds in order to use them as beds for composting and ageing manure. (Think I applied manure too close to Spring planting and didn't have a great season). Also, hoping a lot of expense and plastic will be avoided by not having to hall in bags to top up beds each year. Was reaffirming to watch your video and feeling better about our decision. Thanks!
Zu viel gerede und zu wenig Aktion, da kann ich mir auch ein Buch kaufen
Huws i don't have Much space to make a compost pile or bin. What can I do in this case?? As purchasing soil is too expensive, and compost is BEST CLEAN SOIL as you already know what is going in ones soil! Please HELP! Thankyou for your educated and easy going tips for gardening.
I would suggest checking with your local recycling center for free compost as well. I'm sure other countries will have this too but, at least in Denmark I know you can get free compost in spring, some places year round even. You do need to pick it up yourself but, it's an amazing service that helped me a lot on the first year gardening. Not only that but, you're free to pick up garden waste too, in case you're starting in a totally empty plot and have no brown material for to compost.
Thank you, uour approache is so humble and fantastic
If you were going to rotate the suggested items, what would go 1sr, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
Very good video.
Was ist das weiße im den Eimer?
I love this video! I'm just starting garden beds this year, and I have little waste to work with as far as composting goes, so these are excellent suggestions. I have a question, though: In the clip with the collaborators who use comfrey as a compost, how do they control it? I live in the US, and I worry about comfrey's potential aggressive growth, as I've heard that even small pieces of root will sprout new plants (so pulling them isn't a good idea, much like vetch). Are raised beds enough to contain comfrey? I don't need the farmers who basically surround me to get angry with me for growing it.
diluted urine is also a free and effective liquid fertilizer. 😉
That moment you realise that you are a lazy gardener
Don’t cut the grass just wait for a drought so the lawn dies back
oh great idea, what if I add loose tea leftovers on top of blueberry plants, would it work?
What was that plant you used to cover the ground that the lady was cutting to put in garden. Not the asparagus.
I really appreciate u. Love the gentle pace of teaching, knowledge, voice, passion, view, EVERYTHING!
I think I'll do it myself this week. I just got instructions from Woodprix and I'm ready for it: D
The problem I had was insufficient brown to mix with green material (I cut two other lawns).
Fixed that with my old, heavy duty office shredder & an unlimited supply of corrugated cardboard boxes. Mixed 2:1 by volume grass to cardboard makes a great compost when everything else is mixed in. Over 100kg of cardboard went into my two 1m² bays last year, which produced enough compost for a 5cm layer on seven beds, each 1.2mx3.5m.
If you chop and drop in the UK, the slugs will come along soon after and chop and drop all your veg!
How do we ensure we are not adding grass seeds into the garden… do you store in black bag in sun first?
I love it
Hello Huw, thank you for all your videos, they are great :). Can you tell me if i can apply this suggestions to soil and use it as compost in a no dig bed? a new one ? so instead of 100% compost can i use a bit of compost mixed with normal soil? thank you so much !! i dont have a lot to start a rather big bed i made …
The title and the video do not match up at all. Grow without compost, by using your compost…
I feel happy to find you and you encouraged me go improve my vegetables garden and it's big improvement. Thanks.
