Useful video Thanks dude
Hew…you had so much good information in this video. But I would say that it is designed for a young person. As you grow older you need wider aisles and higher raised beds. Seating is important too. I've been dealing with health issues and this has become very real for me.
My town has a free compost yard. You drive up load it yourself and drive away. It’s mostly leaves from the street so you have to pick out trash but it’s free compost.
I’ve gotten multiple wooden raised garden beds from a local supply company. They get big heat treated wooden crates and if they get damaged they put them out.
I'm already prepping for 2023, so excited ! Got my seeds and I'm starting to collect my seed trays. Just planted my garlic ( transylvanian, early red italian and ukrainian red) last month. My husband brought me loads of cardboard from his job and some from friends that know we love to garden. Happy soil day and happy holidays Huw.
Our sun is just too much. South Texas summer is a nightmare.
Hey Huw, great video! Quick question: what is that plant with red berries shown at 8:32?
When it comes to vertical growing to maximize ones growing space, I'm starting to think building vertical growing spaces in the garden is a good idea regardless of how much room one has available.
The reason being, packing the garden in a smaller space reduces the need for water and reduces the area that needs to be weeded. Thus reducing the work needed for the same production.
Please focus on bee keeping
Thank you for this!
I prefer local sourcing all of the garden amendments, compost, etc., because it is already acclimated to my environment and the microbial life is active in the local soil and plants.
This is all awesome sir
Another great video as always Mr. Richards. One tip on using pallets is to make sure they’re heat treated and not pressure treated.
Thank you, great tips. Just rented some land for next to nothing on an old, no longer maintained orchard to set up a big veggie garden of 300 qm. It's a space where really old fruit trees were removed years ago and that has perfect, loose soil. I can therefore easily use no dig but will still then have to remove tons of nettles, brambles etc. AND of course their damn roots in and around the beds, which will be a huge task but so looking forward to actually creating a garden there 🙂
Thank you for the insights and inspiration! I will be offered to maintain a small allotment and hopefully I can put some SWAGA on it 🙂
That 3D mockup was awesome! Wow, what an amazing garden that would/will be!
I’ve been watching you for years huw and look forward to watching every video. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new years ❤
Huw, everyone keeps banging on about compost but I live in Seville, with just a terrace
and it´s so hot, there are always flies, and I hate flies
