The mini things are corms....it take 2 yrs for them to be harvested as full size 🐘 garlic
Very Nice Sir! Now all You need to do now is paint the hardware cloth black so that You can see inside the run better from the outside
Very nice run. I definitely want to see when you do the roof because I need to do my roof.
AWESOME! WILL THEY SHIP THIS RUN TO THE U.S.?😅
Chicken approved!
It's pronounced Ale-sa lad it's a Scottish island
Hi I’ve got the same exact incubator and can’t find anywhere what setting to put in for Guinea eggs if you could help would be much appreciated thank you ☺️
How come you don't make videos anymore?
Seriously best video for what we need! We are gonna do the trench method. Love your video an dedication. You have built a solid run. We have one a bit bigger, we have recently found dug holes around the run so next week on pay day, I’m doing the trench. Thanks for this great video. Will like and subscribe.
Hi can I use this incubator bird's ringnack bird's you recommend this incubator plz reply
I have just finished building one these and I’m really happy with the end result but I hope never to see another cable tie as long as I live. Took forever. Did it on my own so took me about a week to build. The frame goes up easily but fitting the mesh is really finicky. I had the same issues with fitting the mesh on the door/ends. Pleased it’s finally up. Unfortunately found your video after I’d finished mine. Hey ho.
Thank you. Use the rock to help with side barrier. ❤
Great video. Where do you source your potatoes from?
How much did each bed cost you (approximately)?
Use galvanized wire. Twist ties will need to be changed yearly. They get week.
Zipper ties sorry
Hi Ben, love what you're doing. What fertilizer do you use on the beetroots? Is it ok to use Tomato feed on Beets and also on Carrots?
Good interesting video. Thanks
Can’t rats bite through the plastic zip ties?
Fantastic allotment plot ! Love it and gives me so much inspiration
Howdy do from California USA! Garlic is what I call my Joy Crop! I love them so! I have yet to successfully grow a good size elephant garlic. Maybe because we get too hot? I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel!
Neatest and most attractive allotment garden I've seen on RUclips.
Rats jus chewd through my high density plastic wire killed 2 of my babies shit pissed me off
Do you have a link for the wire mesh you used?
You are an inspiration :-) thank you for putting so much into sharing your love of gardening love of life, on RUclips . It’s great to pace and take a break, know when to take time to reflect. I have just shared this video as my inspirational video for the gaggle of 21-30 yr old neurodivergent/multi medical disabilities anxiety/chronic fatigue sprogs as introduction to helping me on my allotment and a new shared half allotment for them. I have fibromyalgia and it has been an epic journey gaining an allotment at the start of covid lockdown, so thank you for the inspiration and reminder to maintain balance and keep growing, things get hard. But just keep the waves calm :-)
Looks amazing well done, do you have a link please to the tunnel purchase you used for your brassica cage? It looks amazing
We harvest any size leaf for our salads. Adds a great crunch and is a mild flavor
Hi what do you feed them while they're growing thanks
what part of the UK were these grown in ?? Garden vids seldom seem to say at the outset.
That just be quite expensive to use dalefoot..?
Hey thanks for this video was really helpful. Have you grown any outdoors? I tried T65 last yr and didn't get a great harvest, not too bad though, and an wondering if you've had outdoor success with Beurogard?
Wow will try out this year 👍
Well done that looks really good harvest😊
Which zone?
What is the average amount of waiting time before you harvest?
£7 for a tray of marigolds or £2 for 100 seeds - you decide. Personally I prefer to grow them myself as that’s most of the fun.
Wonderful :-) love how you see how you grew one upside down but still good , garlic is a great teacher for growing and enjoying food
What a brilliant plot !❤ Your an absolute inspiration Ben .I have mobility issues ar 62 but you prove where there's a will there's a way 🥇
Very helpful
To be honest, I don't see a reason to restrict root growth with containers. The plants are better off with developing broader root system before reaching deeper for water and nutrients.
I love your videos.
Hi: I love this video - so helpful. Where did you order the precut wooden door? My metal door came with the run is not sturdy enough to withstand predators - I NEED THE PREDRILLED WOODEN DOOR . Thank you in advance! Keep the videos coming
The thermometer on Vitopods are to be just hung inside air not buried in the soil.. I know this video is old.. but incase anyone sees this going forward - it’s not recommended to do that with this system 🫶🏼
Please please don’t take this as criticism- just a piece of advice! 🫶🏼 total respect for you and all you have accomplished! 🙌🏼
Good honest effort:)
Hello mate, after 11 months I'm interested to know how you have got on with rats? They're crafty little buggers so I'd be very surprised of they didn't find a way in.
Fantastic, very good idea! I have a 6 ft. high dog kennel and was going to protect it with chicken wire. But I'm going to play it safe and use hardware cloth instead. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for this video. I'll be growing these next year. Cheers.
✌️😎
Very helpful thank you Ben. What did you pit down as flooring? I have a problem with rain and wind coming in, it gets very muddy. Liz
Just planted my one, six bulbs
I love that you showed us the upside down one 🤣.. so cute. I just planted some in houston tx, it's still warm outside but we are technically in "fall"🤷🏻♀️
We are in fall in cali as well, cooled down then spiked to 80 today and i was like wtf its never that hot this time of year and now its 46 and im like my garlic is going to go fucking nuts with the yo yo weather
