I had no idea there was a mowing robot..
1:19 …….'till they're nice and heavy with water'….. Such a tiny, throw away line but so very valuable, especially for newbies! Love how your videos are SO chock full of practical info and right to the point! Love your work Ben!!
In my small urban garden I have 3 plastic compost bins and a big time saver for me is a compost screw. You just twist it down into the bin and pull up, so it mixes and aerates all in one go – no PIA moving stuff from bin to bin. Takes about 5 minutes to do and it speeds up the compost breakdown considerably.
My Youtube time saving tip: Watch videos on 1.25 speed (or 1.5 speed if the presenter speaks more slowly) so I can squeeze a couple more gardening videos into my busy day. 🙂 If you're not sure how to do this, look at the controls near the bottom of the video. Near the Closed Captioning "CC" box is a cog icon for 'Settings'. Adjust your playback speed here. Happy gardening and viewing, everyone!
In my greenhouse I have a bed with 5 terracotta plant pots buried as ollas. They are sealed and connected with pipe and are fed from the water butt overflow (which is fed from the greenhouse roof). My cucumbers just look after themselves.
Starter plants cost about 5 dollars each or more here, about the same as a pack of quality seeds. I can't imagine the cost to plant an entire garden that way.
Always great info Ben! Thanks for sharing Tertill Weeding Robot with your followers!
Great video. I have been thinking about setting up drip tape!!! I think I’ll do that this summer for my tomatoes! 🙂 saves so much time as I soent hours in this heat wave watering and watering and watering! Lol
Great ideas
Love your tips, but come on, Ben, automated lawnmowers!? They are horrible for small wildlife. Look into the danger of those robot mowers for hedgehogs, one of the gardener's best friends.
Create a meadow with wild flowers instead og grass.
My time-saving tip: when watching YouTube, set playback speed to 1.5x – 2x.
Greetings from sunny Barbados. The sun, sea and sand are free but potting mix and anything to do with gardening costs two arms and a leg.
So glad I found your vids, they cut thru a lot of the mulch out there. I am a container gardener. Living on an island that is 166 Sq miles, land is scarce.
Anyhow, I am growing tomatoes, cukes, pumpkin, okra, lettuce and sweet peppers. Lucky for me my neighbour's banana shoots jump the fence so I have some banana trees. Also plantain and mango. Tried to make mango wine with excess fruit, but something went wrong.
All that to say..thank you for all vids, tips, hacks and knowledge sharing. Keep growing!
Hello Ben, I have harvested peas now, none left. Should I remove the plants or will it bear peas again? Please guide
Inspiring video, thanks Ben. I wonder if you could cover how to reuse pots … do you have to wash and sanitise them? Also, why do you put garden soil on your table top instead of in a container when you’re repotting? It seems to work really well, but are there other reasons you do this.
my tip: no raised beds, absolutely useless
I always tell people to grow from seed and never buy seedlings. To many people dont realize that you wont save money gardening if you buy all the plants
The two what you use in on this video can you send me the spelling fight please bro
I put some wood chip paths on my allotment. The woodchip brought the insects, and then the birds came to root around in the woodchip to get at the insects. I mean I guess it's good for the birds, but it's not so good for the neat paths.
I’m wondering if these raised bed structures are available in other countries? I live in Australia, Melbourne.
How do i start a compost heap in my small city garden?
I own 10 acres in California, US and this was a GREAT video! I will be implementing some of these things into my chores in the coming season! Thank you!
First complain about machine.. Etc
Then get happy about robotic weed remover lol
