  1. I haven't done this before and usually put in the compost but will try with brussel sprout and broccoli that was taken out. Does it matter if I am planting some something that you would usually avoid growing together, such as tomatoes and brussel sprouts not to be grown together, as I'm about to plant tomatoes?

  2. I can't wait to see how your corn comes out as here in the US we are told to plant it 2.5 to 3 inches deep ( a little past your second knuckle). This helps the plants have a deep strong root system. Also you may have stunted plants if all of the seeds germinate ( due to lack of space). I hope it goes well for you. I haven't seen many videos of corn doing well in raised beds. You may want to think about drip irrigation. And maybe a trial patch in the ground seeds space 8 inches or so apart in rows about 10 inches. 2 seeds per hole. Also if you pre soak the seeds it speeds up the germination. Love watching you. And want the best for your growing efforts.

  3. When I got my C7, a couple of instructions were; don't move it with the engine running (engine oil) and don't put anything dirty through it (blunts blades). Have you had any issues associated with this? Not trying to be a jerk, I love your channel.

  4. Fabulous video. I planted my zucchini, cucumber, and bean seedlings today, and I remember seeing in your other videos that if we have to use bought products (fertilisers, compost, seed raising mixes) use good brands. I am pleased to see that my seedlings had the best start using the same products as yours :). Thanks for your inspiration! I'm hoping to get soil delivered for my other raised bed tomorrow so I can plant my tomatoes 🙂

  5. Hi Mark when I remove my crops each year I use loppers and cut the tops off so the worms can eat the root balls. But also the way you are doing it with the shredder the worms will get the benefit of the complete plant. I do not have a shredder so I comport all of my garden waist. John Knowles Canada

  6. You make everything look so easy and fun! I love your videos and have learned so much from watching. I am sharing with everyone I know who shares the love of gardening. Keep up the wonderful work!

  7. Hi Mark – Love your work. I’m curious as to the origins of the scar on your right arm. Have something similar on my right foot. Would be interested to hear the story. Cheers
