Hi, Ben! Where would one find a watering can like the one you use?
Great video loaded with wonderful information! Thank you Ben!!!!
Hi, great video, where can I get these reusable trays?
Saya suka konten mu!!
Hey Ben, can you use coffee cans as starter trays if you plan to keep them in there throughout the season?
Where do you get your get your good quality plastic plug trays please?
Have you heard of soil blocking? It's become quite popular with some folks here in the US (I mostly see it discussed on social media).
Love this guy's enthusiasm and knowledge base!
Hey, I have finally signed up to the website, urgh the weather is cold this year so far in the UK. Even down south. I will try and sew this weekend, I am doubtful due to the cold
Hi Ben! I recently found your channel and have been watching your videos to learn as much as I can, as this year I will be attempting to grow veggies and flowers in containers. As I don't have access to garden soil, could you recommend a good soil for containers? I will be growing tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, lettuces, herbs and some flowers. I live in the UK, but there are so many brands and different types of soil, composts, top soil that I don't really know what should go into these containers! Many thanks
Had another 12-inches of snow this past weekend…
Thank you!
Love your videos and your enthusiasm is contagious! I will carry on with my seed sowings! I already have tomatoes up and onion bulbs in pots in the green house, I live in the SW of France, so a little ahead of gardeners in the UK.
I always find it difficult to remove seedlings from the very small plug trays, is there a trick to doing this ?
Tks.
how I can grow canary seeds in Pakistan any guide plzzzz
I love your videos. Have yet to watch one that wasn't useful and inspiring. Per seed sowing: If space isn't an issue, can the transfer to plug trays be skipped and the strongest seedling kept in the 2" or 4" pot until planting?
When you gave your tip about creating a mini greenhouse with clear plastic and an elastic band, I wondered, "Would a shower cap (which is both those things in one) work?"
Turns out the answer is "yes".
How to separate the peas when you sow them densely? It cost me a lot of effort last year because all the roots grow together
I look forward to your videos!
To another year of learning and growing :o)
Lovely video thank you. Looks like I’m on the right track with my gardening!
I use 2/12" drain pipe cut into 4" lengths, the same pipe that comes out a house wall and goes into a drain, then just push out into a hole, cheaper and lasts forever.
Those trays must be Charles Dowding's – they're fantastic
Hi Ben, just wondering what you think of vermiculite? I used to use it a lot to cover my seedlings and coming back to vegetable growing now after a long while I’m not sure whether to use it again or not?
I'm trying a bit of a hybrid this year – what I mean by that is starting off cold plants in my small plastic greenhouse, and warm season crops inside but I'm then trying to start off some tomatoes, peppers etc in the mini greenhouse – to see which turn out better, if I have any issues with frost etc
Can we just appreciate the quality of these vidoes, with the variety of angles, some lush lighting and funny little cutaways… Just utterly entertaining and high quality. I'd say you should be on mainstream tv, but I think that'd only take away from how truly splendid these tutorials are. Im a budding gardener and learning how to do this with my young children, and each video I soak up so much wonderful info and tips. Thank you for the time and effort!
