I completely agree watching videos from many locations around the world has taught me such an incredible amount of information I have gardened organically since age 20. I thought I knew a great amount about gardening but watching and absorbing videos has taught me more over the last couple years than I have learned over the last 35years as a gardener. I am learning that I have barely scratched the surface. Now I have taken initiative and expanded my small garden plot from about
15×15 to 40×60 I would have had a much larger area much faster but have battled bermuda grass (a pernicious perennial grass with stubborn roots halfway to China that aggressively tries to spread and choke out everything in its path.) I have learned it is impossible to till up and what works best is soaking as and hand shoveling then picking out by hand all the tough fibrous roots that may be sending runners in as ll directions and deeper than a shovel and a half depth so all pieces left unresolved generate new plants if cut in pieces .) I am renaming it devil grass. I have dug my way through 1/3 of the area I expanded. I fenced it in because I also battling a digging dog that is beloved by my 87 yr old father whom I help take care of. I am elated by all the progress, fueled by watching encouraging videos and how to's and love the diversity of information I am gaining from so many sources it is like learning on steroids. For the first time I have a fully sprouted carrot bed with many kinds of carrots I wanted to try. I have tried before with no success , this is just a small example I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge it is bringing me great joy to learn so much an I am loving applying all this new found knowledge to my own sanctuary for sanity in an otherwise very stressful life. I am loving learning about broad beans, leeks, and planting gardens that go all year around. As a freshly divorced newly graduated nurse with an aging father in fragile health this garden is a Godsend
Your the best one out there, love the communication <3
i really enjoy watching your videos dude
Have you ever watched the Gardener Scott channel? He gardens in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado.
Bought 2 of your books today… one for me..one for my mum for Mother's Day. Huge fan of your channel. Thanks for everything!
Hello Huw Richards. I am starting a business using crowd funding to start a plant nursery can you take a picture of your garden for my business. My business will help you make an garden, compost food scraps, and help give plants for community gardens. I need an picture for it. Please?
Very helpful video but I wonder if you could explain a little more about using planks to help with parsnips? I absolutely just cannot get them to germinate whether I direct sow, use loo roll holders, chit on kitchen towel and I am desperate for some help as they are my favourite winter vegetable!!
Please don't use old Tires to plant Food often they give off heavy metals
suu….. per
Cracking video as always, Huw. I spent five minutes looking at a bed on my allotment after watching your video about observation and made three changes for next years planning!
I really love the stuff you grow, apart from the beard, just sayin
A daily increase by 1% brings you up to 100% in about 70 days even. But we came here for agriculture, not math, right 🙂
Hello from Australia!
This was an enjoyable episode and I share your sentiments about learning tips and methods from other cultures and countries. Vegetable gardening is universal and any method or advise that yields great results (no matter the geographical source) should absolutely be tried and/or tweaked for suitability!
Hopefully you will not be offended by my next comment as it is with your interest in mind…
As an influencer, you have a responsibility to clarify with your audience – especially those new to vegetable gardening and the vulnerably uninformed – that you line your tyre planters to prevent heavy metals from leeching into the soil and thus your crops. This should be done every time they appear in an episode, even if they appear only briefly.
It would be terrible if people thought that it was safe not to do so and then fell ill as a result.
Furthermore, by not clarifying, seasoned gardeners like myself may dismiss you as an 'amateur' and may therefore miss your intelligent and insightful content.
Credibility is everything in the online gardening world, and every second of content (including your background content) must be critically analysed and overtly explained to ensure that your credibility stays intact.
I do look forward to enjoying more of your Channel, despite my comment. It is refreshing and touches very much on how my own brain works when I am planning and considering my garden and crops.
Are tyres not toxic for plantings?
why am i watching growers in australia, florida, the warm UK, etc. when i live in sweden? because i don't have anything better to do
Great video! Thanks! Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
Here in South Africa, the plank method of germinating parsnips and carrots is tricky because the planks warp into gutter shapes. So this time I'm covering the planks with a thick layer of mulch. I hope that doing this will prevent the warping but still avoid the seedlings getting disturbed by stray straws – remove the mulch then the plank and crosses fingers the seedlings will stay in place. I will try to remember to give you feedback in a few weeks
I love your videos and have learned so much. Thanks.
On a side note: hostas are snail hotels, at least where I live. I stopped growing hostas because of this.
Great crop of New Zealand Yams you have grown. Coming from NZ I love them but they tend to be on the expensive side, even when in season. Guess I'll just have to find myself an old tyre and grow my own : )
Hi Huw, do you take your greenhouse (in the background at 9:44) down during the winter or do you leave it up all year? I am wondering if ones like that one collapse in heavy snow. Thank you for your great info! 🙂
Hola, podes traducir al español, gracias
you are so cute
I love the idea of small changes over time with big results. I’m in the States and most of my methods are yours and Charles Dowdings methods, it’s easy enough to adapt.
Wait, hastas are edible!
Eating seasonally helps me stay excited about my fruit and veg. I will be over tomatoes by late fall but I won’t have fresh tomatoes again until early summer the next year.
I am reminded of an old Chinese saying: "The best fertiliser is the gardener's shadow."
Hi huw, huge fan of your channel. I'm just wondering why exactly you say that a deep mulch of grass clippings doesn't suit your climate??
Hi Huw, thanks so much for your great tips! The videos have gotten me inspired and able to hang on through the freezing winter here in Kansas USA. I have a quick question about the Use of worm castings. It’s much less expensive for me to buy worm castings from a man here in our town that produces them by the ton than to buy a good compost. I am making my own but it takes time. Do you recommend mixing half worm castings and half compost? Or can I plant directly into worm castings as you do compost?
