Великобритания
Добавлен 20 дек 2021
Gardening with Richard Chuck up at Grassy Bottom in the UK through the seasons, with ornamental grasses and perennials showing the creation and design of a 1/4 acre garden on the Lincolnshire Wolds in the UK. I hope to show you tips and tricks to help your own garden journey, and hopefully inspire you to do more however experienced you are...currently on BBC Radio Lincolnshires' newest garden show 'The Potting Shed
Some of the best ornamental grasses for your garden
Its moving towards my favourite time of year in the garden, we are now mid august up at grassy bottom, all the plants look great but especially the ornamental grasses, here I've focused on some of my favourites, as usual we are joined by Hamish.

Japanese style border update
Просмотров 7752 месяца назад
Making a change in a garden border can be a little daunting, I decided to make a major change, I'm at the start of re imagining a border that's not really working for me, I've always admired Japanese gardens, so I'm now putting together my own take on what I hope will be an interesting Japanese inspired border.

November walk through the garden borders. Let's see what's changed as the year moves on
Thanks for the video. Mine is only half this height. Hoping for better growth in the coming years.
It can often take a couple of years for it to settle in, give it a nitrogen feed in spring once new growth starts. Which one do you have?
I stay in Cape Town and this is now one of my favourite plants, mine are so beautiful at the moment, full in flower
That's great, I'd love to see the gardens over there.
Great grass to grow.
It certainly is
First time seeing your garden and it is absolutly beautiful! Totally my style, but hard to find, most people on YT have nice Gardens but not my style, lots of annuals and stuff. Yours is stunning!❤
@RedCoin91 thanks, I hope you enjoy future videos.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 I'm going to binch watch your videos. May In ask what soil type you have? and PH? In which zone do you garden? Sorry, lots of questions.
@RedCoin91 I'm in the uk , I garden on a chalk base, but it has a good moisture, retentive soil, with clay in one part, I never test pH as most plants we can get hold of are good for us.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 Thank you 😉
@@RedCoin91 you're welcome
This is beautiful. The garden looks huge. Is it?
It's bigger than the average garden, but quite manageable.
Thanks for the video !
You're welcome
Just sending a message to say I love your garden tours! We are coming into spring here in Australia and your garden is giving me all the inspiration ❤
Thanks, I do enjoy taking you all around my garden
Pheasant tail grasses?
Anamanthele lessoniana, it's in this video.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 Missed it so sorry!
Its around 51 minutes @sarahjones-jf4pr
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. It’s very kind of you. You have an amazing garden! 🫡
You're welcome, I love talking about grasses.
They look more like a stone/ lock than a slate?
They are handmade like bricks. They are from a very old farming estate where they were likely to be used as hardcore. They are clay.
where would be the best place to shop for quarry tiles?
Reclamation yards usually have them
This product is a scam.
Yes im not impressed
This is the 2nd full year with my miscanthus "little zebra" it was suppose to be dwarf. I am happy its not, but it got huge and very floppy this year. Its opening up in the center allowing sun to get through and bindweed is starting to weasel its way through and trying to spiral-up around the stalks, furthur pulling them down. Im afraid of snakes, but i got beneath it anyway 3 times this summer so far and pulled the bindweed and fluffed it back up (without snake encounter thank God). Should i cut the outer stalks (that are flopped to the ground) off? Is it because Little Zebra or certain grasses are notorious for flopping, or the sequence of extensive dry spells then heavy-pounding rain-bombs this summer, or something (feeding, pruning, etc) i should be doing? I never would think its already time to start dividing it. I worry about getting older what kind of trouble i will be in for planting these but i needed quick growing attractive barriers that can take anything nature or man can throw at it. AND INDEEDit was, esp in winter backlit w the streetlight 🤩. But its losing the beauty & barrier advantages. Do you have any tips or tricks? 🌱 Note: I can't do the fire thing bc it closely borders the neighbors house.
Hi, firstly are you sure it's little zebra? This one only reaches around 5foot. The rain will definitely cause problems, but it should be fine once dry, miscanthus zebrinus is notorious for flopping. Have you been feeding it ? This can cause a fast, floppy growth and never burn any grass back . Just cut it back to the ground around February (uk). Are you in the uk?
The Polo looks FAB right now!
Yes, im pleased with it.
I can't imagine wanting to get rid of even one Japanese anemone! To me, they are one of the most beautiful flowers/plants ever with multi-season interest. I guess there's no pleasing some people, lol!
Yes, they are fab , easy to control as well.
Looking great! Can you tell us about your Calamagrostis Emodensis please? Thanks.
Do you mean on film?
@@upatgrassybottom9859 yes please, I saw it on one of your videos about a year ago so bought one from a specialist nursery and it’s looking great in our garden here in Wales. Very pleased with it. Just wondering how yours is doing, but don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned on one of your tours lately. Cheers
@@Piffled0 I'll do a short video at the weekend and show other grasses too
@@upatgrassybottom9859 thanks very much. Love your garden and appreciate your knowledge. 👍
@@Piffled0 thanks
I don't want to use wet cement so I am interested in your dry screed option. How deep should the screed be? Should it be compacted before laying the tiles? Any tips on levelling? I assume the cement/sand mix hardens over a period of time so do I have to wait before laying the tiles?
Lay the screed approximately 4 inches deep, put down enough screed to do a couple of rows at a time, only compact it gently with a spirit level, lay the tile on in rows using the spirit to make sure it's level, use a rubber mallet to get level, lay the tile immediately don't wait, the screed will set hard over the coming days, avoid walking on it for a couple of days. Hope that helps.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 Thank you for your quick response. Any particular reason why I should only lay sufficient screed for a couple of rows at a time? I would be concerned about then being unable to maintain the same level all the way up the path. If there is no rain forecasted, could I not lay all the screed for the whole path and then lay the tiles in the way you advise?
@Peter-r2s I actually did four rows at a time, the reason is you work backwards to avoid treading on the tiles or bricks and you need to be able to reach to lay them , the screed needs mixing dry so don't add water.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 Understood. If you don't mind, I may have to get back to you with further questions. This is my front path from the gate to the front door so I don't want to get it wrong!
That's fine @@Peter-r2s
A bamboo screen is as far as I will ever go in this garden!!but love grasses favourite Pheasant tail.Love your garden and the information I am learning.
Go on, Sarah, put in a fargesia.
I feel like the area beneath the plum tree wants to be a legit and larger bed all around the tree ^^
What you aren't aware of are the roots around it, I'm still considering this change.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 Ahhhh true! Good point! That might make it harder.
@@brocktoon8 I'm still going to test if it's possible
Nice long video showing how spectacular your garden is looking this month.
Thanks lisa
I personally was glad you went on and on about the bamboo. Many experts have too short of an explanation. It doesn't sink in very well. You explained it really well and tried to get the point across by way of a lengthy teaching talk. Do your bamboos get hundreds of flowers that attract hundreds of bees? We had one that was beautiful but the bees were unbelievable.
If your bamboo is flowering, it's likely to die. It's what they do.
It is Digitalis ferruginea gigantea biannual blooming this summer, the bees love it!
I think so too.
Thanks for your beautiful video.
Thank you too
Hi Yes, your grasses are really dancing😮 Brilliant garden 🎉
Thanks
Your gardens are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome
Once flowered if you remove flower heads will they rebloom ??
Yes, they will, but fewer flowers
De beaux massifs avec des graminées (et c’est plutôt rare❤) De belles vue et une agréable promenade. Cependant la caméra mouvante est trop rapide et donne parfois le vertige.Le jardin japonais (plutôt un clin d’œil comme vous dites)mériterait un peu plus de structure au niveau des pierres: elles semblent un peu flotter et l’évocation du ruisseau sec sortant de la lanterne me parait un peu fantaisiste😊 Vous avez réuni là des symboles de différents styles de jardin japonais en seul endroit : un peu risqué quand au résultat, désolée ! vous avez mieux réussi le jardin à l’européenne. Mais bonne méditation 🧘 Le plaisir après tout n’est pas de réussir un jardin, mais de jardiner, de se tromper et de recommencer ;de tester telle plante et une autre, et d’apprendre finalement à connaître sa terre et son climat pour choisir ce qu’il lui convient de mieux 🎉
Thanks, but I've been gardening 40 years . All my gardens have been uniquely me, as with art, everyone is entitled to an opinion, I'm not looking for ideas as I'm quite good at gardening and I'm certainly not a professional film maker, I use a phone camera on a gimble, maybe a link to your RUclips channel on gardening will help 😀 Thanks for watching
The Japanese garden is so peaceful ^^
Thank you
42:03 Definitely worth waiting to see your new project finished and think it looks absolutely great. Also totally agree about looking at our gardens at different times of the day as the sun and shading makes such a difference. An example of this is seeing the shadows to the right of your rocks in this morning filming. I guess the shadows will vary during the day and wonder if this might be lost should other materials be placed around or close to the stand alone rocks?
Thanks, I'm not sure about the dark gravel either, but I like to cover all options
Looks great Richard, a nice addition 😊
Thanks
Really lovely….thank you for a very enjoyable tour around Grassy Bottom….love the name!
Thanks for looking,
Loving the new jap. Garden installation. Great place to go to meditate and just take in the beauty.
Your video is great! Thanks for sharing! I am a big fan of your channel.Greetings from @nami-vlog! Have a wonderful time my friend 💜💜💜💜💜👍
Thank you
Do you know if there’s a variegated dwarf pampas grass? I love your richardii.
There is supposedly a very dwarf variety called cortaderia 'Tiny Pampa gold' that's variegated, I've never seen it, but I have a green form called 'Tiny Pampa', it really is a small version, larchcottage.co.uk do a gold mini pampas, hope this helps
Love your garden! Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Pete
Looking fabulous , I need to find me Veronicastrum, most my garden is part shady so always interested to see how you manage that area
Try knoll Gardens for the veronicastrum. They do mail order.
Yes harry lauder was a Scottish comedian he had a crooked walking stick,thus the reference to the tree, I just cut my tree right back as it was hitting the roof last winter.
Thanks
Some parts of your garden have a beachy look, which I love. The oak post helps with that, for instance. And the gravel paths.
Yes, I agree it does. It just kind of happened, I think from time to time, the hard core is exposed, which is a light colour, and the posts are kind of groin looking like the ones on the beach.
🌾🦋 Good morning Richard Great garden tour.
Thanks Lisa
I have really nice ornamental grass. Unfortunately voles made their house under the grass . They did some demage but I was able to rescue some. Any idea how to rid of them ???
I would lift the whole plant to get them out from underneath, then replant, remember to water ut back in, which grass?
I absolutely love your little birch in the birch border. I bought the trinity college birch last year as its supposed to be a smaller variety. It came to me at about 7ft and is already 9/10 ft tall. Although it's staked at the base I still panic in high storms as it bends backwards and forwards and Although I'd love it at a decent size, it frightens me as its less than 20ft away from the house and about 5ft from next doors fence. I wish I knew how to shape mine so it looks like yours. Yours is amazing and If I knew how to get a birch to look that brilliant, I'd def buy more
Betula Trinity College is small to medium. Early pruning will greatly help, and don't be afraid to remove larger branches at a young age. If you're in the uk, it's better to do this once the leaves are on so late spring. Look up pictures of your preferred shape and use it as a rough guide. Make sure it's anchored in until its roots settle, they are shallow rooted so shouldn't cause a problem to your property, make sure it is well watered in its first couple of years , don't overwater it either. If you check out some of my videos, I explain how to prune without compromising the overall shape. Hope this helps...
@upatgrassybottom9859 thanks so much I've been too busy enjoying your garden tours but will def find the pruning videos now that I know they are there. I was always on the understanding not to prune a birch in spring and winter because of bleeding? And only to late summer prune. I now dream of a birch the same as yours. Can I take out that main leader? Or will another branch grow twice as quick to take over? I really appreciate yoir time thank you. I've found you on Instagram now too so will have a good look at your account later. You've worked so hard on your garden. It's amazing. I'm after more of a cottage garden myself, but some plants that you have will definitely look interesting in my garden too. Thanks for putting the names of plants on the screen. I can pause and Google them. Best wishes davena in the Midlands in the uk
Hello Davena, the sap will have stopped rising once the leaves are fully formed, you can remove the leader, your tree will use another main branch as a leader but you can cut this down by a third, keep checking it every month or so and keep trimming in any that may become the next leader. Hope that helps.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 thank you
You're welcome
Found you by pure accident via the recommended videos. I'm so glad I did. What a fantastic video and garden. I'm looking forward to watching the other videos you have made

Wonderful! Youshowed plants that are new to me. Much appreciated.
You're welcome. It's my intention to show plants that are so often unknown
I planted a bunch last summer and they looked great so this year is the first year to watch them grow and it’s not looking good. I have like 20 and none of the blooms are turning brown they’re still green and all the green grass is turning brown and splintering, they look terrible and I don’t know what’s going on
Hi , there are lots of things to affect the grass, and wind will damage some of them. The grass goes through different looks as the year turns. They are prone to rust on the leaves in damp environments. The seed heads go through different phases but eventually turn to a straw colour, at which point the leaves will fall away, leaving a stiffly upright look to the clump, any breaks should be removed, there should be plenty of stalks so it should look better, each season gives a different look, this is what gives this superb grass a long season of interest, my calamagrostis is tidied up when needed, please don't be put off by its look as it sounds like your planting is relatively new, it needs time to mature, I'll do a filmed explanation in my next video to help you out.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 sounds great, thanks for the reply, yeah this is their first year, maybe I watered a little too much, we’ll see
@estrome8538 I've done a RUclips on it in detail. It's yet to be edited but should help you.
Love the dovecote. May I ask why you call the circular window the polo? I've been wondering : )
If you're not from the UK, I'll forgive you🙂, it's named after a sweet Google it...
@@upatgrassybottom9859 Ah! So it looks like our US "Life Saver" candy. Thanks, I always thought it had something to do with the sport polo - haha! Makes more sense now!
