This was amazing! Can we have Andy for another colab? It’s really fun to watch you bounce ideas back and forth. I really loved how you guys talked the concept of time in gardening and how you have to juggle the aesthetic expectations with long term results
Even though I know Andy, I’m always surprised by not only how much he knows but how clearly he can express it! I’ll try and get him for another collab for sure! 🫶
Really interesting and entertaining video. I meadowed my front lawn last year by simply removing the turf and top soil about 15cm replacing with subsoil, left and weeded anything that sprang up over the year and then seeded with local native wildflower and grass seeds and adopted an annual cut in the early autumn. I weed out the occasional thing but generally let it do its thing. Seems to be going well
I should add that with the seeding mixing I opted for a patient approach with annuals for the first year, biennials for the second, and hopefully the perennials will establish themselves thereafter. So the plan is a 3-5 year one until it is really starting to settle. I know that waiting that kind of time isn’t everyone’s preferred option.
My meadow / wild flower area is doing ok, it's not the meadow I imagined but has a large number of native plants and insects. The most counterintuitive part about growing a meadow for me was the fact you have to have a lack of nutrients specifically nitrogen, It should have been obvious as lots of meadows grow on previously farmed land but my brain when 'lots of plants = lots of feed' luckily I hadn't put anything on the area but it did make me aware the a meadow isn't a low effort garden option some may think it is.
Interesting. We've had a really unusual winter spring last year, and some plants that I guess were dormant for decades have suddenly come up in lawns. And I'm interested in meadows
Raising plants is like having children. You have to germinate them, which is like the birth, and then you have to initially nurture them.😊 And then some become anarchistic thugs!!!😮 otherwise known as teenagers!!😂😅

Do or do not there is no try 😉- absolutely do another if your schedules allow it.
True. It’s very indecisive when you put it like that. He’s certainly persuadable
Andy was super fun!! Im catching up on so many of your videos, and really enjoying them 😌

That’s great to hear! Thanks for the kind words. That sounds a great method that you used. What’s your rough location on the planet? 🤓
@@tecmow4399 my pleasure, thanks for all the great videos; always fresh, funny and different. I’m in Somerset, U.K.

Thanks for this, very informative.
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure
I want a irish moss lawn.
I’ve never tried to do that but it sounds interesting
@@careypridgeon I weed consistently anyway

Having fun learning
So glad 😊
Personally I’d love to see the full interview. Especially because I need to know more about your inexhaustible seed bank.
🤠 I thought that might pique your interest
@@tecmow4399 You know me too well 🥸(jokes aside I would actually like to see it if you’re planning to upload tho lol)
2nd

I replaced my lawn with a tropical forest.
Must be beautiful!
@@tecmow4399 It's a lot more interesting than a tiny patch of grass, and a lot more ducky as well!
16:51 someone please cut this clip out of context I'm begging you its hilarious
I clicked this video so fast
The seed was sown
