This video features the main principles and techniques I use to look after my vegetable, herb and flower seedlings both undercover and in raised beds. It is vital that we look after seedlings as best as possible in order to give them a great start and then result in fantastic harvests. I cover how to water seedlings, including a highly effective method for ones growing in pots and modules, as well as frost protection, hardening off and a note on pest control.

Hey Huw, would the hessian/burlap be a good option for a raised bed hoop tunnel, instead if plastic?
I absolutely love your videos my friend, you are so easy to listen to your one of the very few who I watch every bit of all your content. Keep up the amazing work buddy!
great info always learning
Great Video and tips on frost protection,I always use pots on potatoes and fleece as you've shown here
So relaxing
Thanks Huw. As always, clear, practical and very informative!!
what about canvas dropcloths?
Lovely place.
Great info!
I didn’t think of the bits of plastic fibres before, good point. Cotton muslin was suggested by Dowding No Dig and I like your hessian suggestion. Brilliant idea to use plant pot supports.
Love this video thank you as always for your great knowledge huw x
Hi Huw this a Great Video Clip. Can I ask where do you get the Great Seed Trays you have for Your Onions and Beans. Also what make of Hoespipe Sprayer is that you use. Thanks for any help on this and Thanks again for a Great Video Clip. Keep up the Good Work.
HAPPY GARDENING

Hey Huw diolch yn fawr boi. Your videos are great been inspiring me a lot they’re very informative. I don’t think I’m too far from you I’m in North Pembs. I used to garden with my dad when I was a teenager back in the 80s, life got too busy and I gave it up but I said I’d always go back to it and now I’m in my 50s myself and my wife have started again, partly as a boost for mental health and anxiety. Gardening is great it’s a total switch off from all the bad stuff happening in the world. I’ve built loads of high bad back friendly raised beds and we’ve put up a large polycarbonate greenhouse. So far we’ve been eating our own spinach, coriander, lettuce, and in the last week new potatoes. My only problem now is I suffer from gardeners envy when I see awesome setups like yours and Charles Dowdings
Thank you so much Huw!
This is so great! Where do you buy your seed modules?? Thanks!
Your onion seedlings look amazing! Mine was a total failure this year… Do you have one on how you start your onion seedlings? If not, maybe make one for newbies like me? Thx!
Very interesting! thank you very much! I wish you a wonderful and delicious harvest!
Where do you buy your stick to make the holes please?
Can you offer any insights on controlling fungus gnats?
I'd already decided to grow my seedlings longer before planting them out – because of the slug problem. So it was good to have that confirmed. Thanks Huw
Hi, This great idea for a cover to protect vegetables from an Aussie Gardener…

Muchas gracias !!!!!
Thank you so much Huw. You're a champion xo
Hello Huw. You demonstrate how you were experimenting with using jute as a cover for potatoes etc. I found it really interesting and now I'm curious: Looking back 6 months later – how did it go? Better or worse? Did it increase workload due to having to remove it every morning etc?
