Love wild! They are great
Gosh I need the hearts case ❤❤❤❤
Emma the 2 bits of wood left over you can add to your new bed and make it more of a square bed so you can have a bigger bed which might be a better idea
Hey Emma, the flooded miscellaneous area would be a great spot for your new wildlife pond 😊
Hi Emma, just received your Allotment Hand Book, great informative book, I’d give it 10/10 👍🥰
You can add the 2 short bits to the ends so 2 long sides and 2 short. Pins up with metal hook bits down looks better!
They are really good and convenient too! Good luck!
👍That's what I was thinking.
Those pins are very sharp, and many are longer than the hinge itself, so you're asking for a jab every day! Definitely better off pointy bit down.
Ur channel is pretty good. I am finally getting my allotment plot sorted at the moment. Last year was a disaster but here’s hoping for some awesomeness in 2025.
Hope you have a good growing season. 👋🏼
Badly broken my wrist slipping on mud , so the nearest im getting to gardening just now Emma is watching your videos . They always put a smile on my face and inspire me for my own garden , thank you 🤗
Oh no, you poor thing! Glad my videos are keeping you company while you recover x
As someone who badly broke her wrist 5 years ago, fracturing and pushing most of the small bones up into my forearm, I know how you feel. My best advice is keep those fingers moving. It makes rehabilitation way easier.
Hi Emma, I have them raised beds/pallet Collars. They are fabulous. You can stack on top of each other to make a deep raised bed, had some fantastic long parsnips last year 😊 You’re doing great on your plot.😊
Thanks for the code :) hope gets you a few quid too :)
Your videos always make me smile
Have a lovely weekend
You too xx
Musselburgh is a city in Scotland. It is east of the centre of Edinburgh.
Love all your videos,made me feel like I'm in an adventure too in my garden.😊 .Fill the bottom of the raise bed with sticks and chips 3/4 of the way the put in the good stuff on top.❤
I absolutely intent to do this! So excited! X
You could have added the spare planks of wood to the raised bed to make it longer or wider
Ja, dat zou ik ook doen, dan kun je hem net nog iets groter maken, meer vierkant in plaats van langwerpig. Yes, I would do that too, then you can make it just a little bit bigger, more square instead of oblong.
Those are pallet collars Emma .If you pop to any industrial estate you can normally get a few for free .
I was just thinking the same thing
You are both absolutely right! I got mine from a pallet yard which I found through fb marketplace! Most of them charge now as they have cottoned on to the raised beds but the guy did me a great deal as I was having so many. Then we saw the shops selling them for 4x the amount 😂
We get weekly deliveries of pallet collars on our allotment site ,,and there already treated and free of charge,,,,,, I stack mine for 🥕 and they are great 🌱 x
I've found that they are not so easy to find in London, there are pallet companies that sell them cheap but you need a car to get to them, never seen any for free on Facebook marketplace.
Emma does love a stick 😂
ooo i love those new raised beds ema x
I brought 3 of those raised beds today on your recommendation and I love how easy they are to assemble.
Thank you
They are fantastic I think! x
Ask around any manufacturing companies close to your allotment and ask if they have any pallet collars for raised beds, you may be able to get them for free . Just line the inside sides to protect from any leaching from the wood.
I wanted to tell you as you started to spray the seeds that I thought that might be the solution you made to spray your sweet peas last year! You love a surprise don’t you 😂 I label everything as I’m so forgetful
I follow you on tiktok your inspired me to get a allotment
Wood chip definitely does help with drainage! Great job.
Love you Emma you bring me so much joy!
Ah so glad you enjoy them x
good luck with your soapy leeks. this was very funny.
I have done exactly the same with the pallet collars to extend them, its a game changer, i have put 3 together length ways, got 9 beds like that on one plot with many other beds, but now got a second plot also, so my plot is 35m long and 35m wide, its not easy doing it on my hands and knee's but would not chamge a thing tbh👌
Look for pallet collars they are very similar and iv had lots for free stack them 3 high grow potatoes in them I used a lot of grass clippings last year as they grow although I'd dry them in the sun for a day or so 1st or only fill in thin layers every couple of days as heat and rotting were issues I learnt from
They are usually a bit small I find! Not sure if they have longer ones available? X
Ive had those pallets for a few years now and lined them with membrane so they last longer
The wood that is over...is that not meant to be added on the sides of the bed so it is broader???
Could be but I think the bed might be too big, especially to fill. I want to fill it right to the top as the soil isn’t very good at the back x
You could always buy one more raised bed and add your 2 leftover panels to that to make another big bed.
I think I will! X
Growing bed looks perfect 👌
If only you could send us that extra water. Its hot summer here and my lawn is so dry its crunchy 😮
You work so hard Emma look your channel.
If you use a propane torch to scorch the wood, it will last forever.
That’s a good idea! x
"Which is an excellent advancement on wooden sticks." 😂 I adore you! 💜
💡If you got 2 more of those raise beds you'd have another "extra board and make a long row bed somewhere?!
The flooding is dramatically less than last year, what a difference from your hard work!
I love sowing seeds in spring!! So exciting! I'm so excited for the season!
8:24 watch the hair.... especially when its windy
It was well out the way I promise. I m bent forwards so it looks like I’m close but I’m far in front of the drill x
O love yhis Range. Bought 3 or 4 last year. One small one is still in the shed awaiting a place somewhere in the garden. So easy to assemble, no extra tools needed. Just brilliant.
There's so expensive from B and q ,,, I get mine free as we get weekly delivery on our allotment and they are already water proofed ,it's a win win x
@KatieToft-wv5pe Lucky you. But backyard gardeners sometimes have no choice or availability of free materials for building a raised bed. Hopefully the bed surrounds I bought will last for quite a few years. After that maybe I just do without them and go no dig. If I am still alive by then.
@user-xb7sj2uk4u I'm also a back yard gardener I ha e allotment and kitchen gatden,,,, Anybody can get them if they research how too,it's extremely easy ,your welcome 😘
The raised beds are really handy, I've got two. You could buy the smaller version and use up the spare lengths you have to make another bed.
They also fit on top of each other and the silver edges that stand proud ensure a snug fit.
I also bought net hoops for mine, also from B&Q.
I bet you can't wait to fill them Emma 😊
I literally can not wait! I’ve been collecting natural materials ready!
Btw your plot is looking amazing emma, like i said before ive followed you from day 1, and you really have done an amazing job🙏👌
Thank you so much x
Good evening Michelene from Cape Town. Love Einstein song mixed in with the music sounds very soothing. You had me in stiches when you needed to use the scissor and you couldnt find it. Love your work❤
Good you've decided to screw down bird feed new plank to old tree stump .Einstein looked much happier after you did it and should last longer than that nail .maybe put a few more screws in to make secure if u get time
I have been using their deodorant for over one year. It is lovely.
They are easy Emma l have them
🐝Thanks for the great video🌻
Hi Emma with your pallet collars the two you haven't uesd you could extend the ends to make it a bit wider just an idea for you
the 2 raised beds together are just about doable, any longer and the weight of the soil will push the wooden sides outwards. I've got one bed that's a bit too long and it pushed outwards and takes up half the path. The wood is already partly rotten so once it falls apart I'll replace it with a smaller bed🙂
Make the other 2 planks bigger, then you don't have very wide paths then you can make it just a little bit bigger, more square instead of oblong.
What size are the beds Emma the big and the small ones
Einstein loves the new plank.. ❤
Hmm. Maybe buy another kit and add the two extra planks to it! Then you will have two lovely big beds to flank your greenhouse! The " Wild" products look really nice. And as always Einstein is his own handsome self! Have a great weekend Emma!
That’s a great idea! X
I saw a programme very recently on a chef trying to grow rice in the UK. Was unsuccessful as our climate isn't humid enough.
I'd let your neighbour know so as not to waste their time. It may well have been a Saturday or Sunday morning show with Hugh Fearnley Whittington
I love wild deodorant! I’ll need some more at the end of the month so if the offer is still on with your code on the 23rd I’ll get it through you!
It's great I get mine from Holland and barret
What happened to the pink ribbon on the scissors? 😁
GEO ENGINEERING!
Yes. It is shocking. When it rained here last week, a white powdery substance came down, it was all over my car and house windows. I dread to think of the effects of what they are spraying us with
Fantastisch Good work Emmas you the best te moostiun te beds te compost zaailing bakjes thans te video Top weekend 👍⛅🌱☕🌡️👍🧣🌺
Thank you ! At least your seeds are clean, after spraying them with smell good washing liquid, LOL ! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.
Hahah! They do smell amazing.
Welcome to Missouri weather 😂😂😂
This weeks experiment…. Seeds and washing up liquid 😂❤❤
Maybe it will keep the bugs away😂😂😂
@ absolutely
I do hope that the wood has been treated or it wont last long.
😂that was mold under the bird table. It needs replaced.
We called that type of weather in Houston, Texas, USA, bipolar weather. 😢
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
❤❤❤
At last new plank for Einstein,he let you know strongly,tha it was time 😂❤
You might not get any slugs on your leeks and shallots with the spray added 😂
lol, that’s true! 😂
I’m thinking you’ve put your new collar bed upside down. ?
I’m thinking that too now! 😂😂
@@emmasallotmentdiarieshaving the pins at the top means you can move it easily if you want to
Yes you've done it right.🎉
The pins go down Emma and I'd make the two smaller beds and stack them in the same shape as they will bow like mad without the end pieces when you fill them
The pins are in right but the wood is upside down the metal bits are to stack another one on top if you won't to make taller
