Hello and welcome to the channel 😀 Many thanks for watching! 😀 I have plenty more like this in the pipeline. Look out for a guy named Dave Taylor, he has made a few appearances previously 👍 🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Long time since I enjoyed a video so much. 40 year ago when living in my home town Sunderland the family all had plots, when shows were at every working men’s clubs. The wonderful memories of preparing veg and flowers came flooding back. Many thanks to you both for being smashing old fashioned, meant in the kindest way, gardeners. Time I dropped back to my roots and get shot of shop bought plant foods.
Hi Jenny, another guy in Sidney who watches the channel also misses these type of events. We don't know how lucky we are 😀 🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Hi Nigel, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed your update tonight, great to see how some of the giant veg is grown, and well done to Neil on his world record, such a great character, I bet you enjoyed yourself. Hope your keeping safe and well, take good care kind regards alan……….THE DAWN CHORUS PLOT 🌿
Hi Alan, firstly apologies for the delay in replying to you, with one thing or another I am playing catch up. Glad you enjoyed the video, but more importantly great to see you back on here. Hope to see you uploading again soon. Take care and all the best 👍 🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
What a great video. 2 nice chaps discussing a very interesting aspect of allotmenteering. You were great with your questioning to coax some secrets out of the master grower. Rule number 1? Mash plenty of comfrey and nettles. Does he have a separate allotment to grow those?
Great update Nigel, fantastic setup always great to get a look into how other giant veg growers are getting on look forward to seeing you all at Malvern
Hello Nigel. Thank you Nigel for taking the time to visit this amazing, modest gentleman and making this interesting video. He mentioned that he has only been on the plot 3 to 4 years. What achievement he has done in that short time, not only giant veg but the amount of Dahlias he is growing. And no hidden secrets. Take care, keep safe and keep smiling. Cheers. Pete.
Looking forward to meeting Neil at Malvern and I am very sorry he hasn't got a red cabbage to put against mine Nigel. Nice video and great content. Comfrey and Nettles Nigel you can't beat it. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Hi Colin, welcome to the channel and sorry for the delay in replying. Not sure if you are aware but Neil appears on Mick's Sunday sesh 😀 🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Thanks for filming that mate really interesting. Well done to Neil on his giant red cabbage he's growing some top-notch giant veg. Just shows you don't need all those fancy feeds and gadgets. You just need the right strain of giant veg seeds. Does Neil have a RUclips channel?. thanks for taking the time and filming at Nigel. All the best Nic 👍
Absolutely fantastic to see someone growing amazing veg by just using nettles & comfrey, it just goes to show that it can be done without all these expensive feeds & fertilisers. I'm going to Malvern this year I will keep a lookout for his produce.
Thank you for that wonderful excursion, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Neil makes it seem as though there is nothing to it but I think there is a lot of work and knowledge involved!!! Klaus
Great video mate. I hope Neil does well in the shows. My longest runner (so far) has stopped at 26" 😞. Good watering advice at the end! You would not believe the number of people who pop up to their plot - spray the whole plot in 10 minutes flat and go home. Then they wonder why nothing is growing well!! Have a great weekend
From Australia again ,Cheers! Here is an idea for another video with Neil Hands. 1 Introduce allotment growing and use of fertilisers 2 demonstrate mixing comfrey and nettles 3 Show outstanding results in Large cabbage 4 Then, bring the focus onto flowers in his garden eg Marigold , Calendula, chrysanthemums and Dahlias Best Wishes!
Hi Michael, I was given some seed by giant vegrowers at the recent Malvern Show. Space is my problem as most of it is taken up by veg that I eat. Watch this space 😀 🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
The gardeners catch phrase if it's free then use it I am a Scotsman so thought that was the reason I felt that way but turns out my old grandad's gardening genes are running happily through me.
From Australia, what a great video. What you are doing here is giving voice to those ‘quiet achievers’ in the allotment sector in England. Let us have more of these videos, please. You are also showing us the perfect anti-dote to the craziness in these pandemic times. And you are showing us what is important in life…growing fresh food for one’s family. What a great set up he has. He fertilizes using only comfy and nettles!
What a great video. How interesting. Although I would like to have a stab at specialised growing, I'll concentrate on getting produce over the line first. Thank you for showing us around. Domestos is a new one. I remember my dad taking me to a flower show for Gladiolas and he would tell me not to talk to anyone as they would question me how my dad grew things laugh. No grower would tell another grower what their secret ingredient was laugh.
Brilliant video would love to try the Giant veg [in a small way] but wouldn't have a clue if you had time and room next year Nigel could you have a go at the Cucumber or something and show us the ropes from sowing to harvest plz

Hi Michael, I was given some seed by giant vegrowers at the recent Malvern Show. Space is my problem as most of it is taken up by veg that I eat. Watch this space 😀
🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
A brilliant video, we’re inundated with nettles and comfrey so next year here goes! From Holme on Spalding Moor York

Fascinating stuff
Hello Andy and welcome to the channel 😀 Many thanks for watching! 😀
🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
What a great video. How interesting. Although I would like to have a stab at specialised growing, I'll concentrate on getting produce over the line first. Thank you for showing us around. Domestos is a new one. I remember my dad taking me to a flower show for Gladiolas and he would tell me not to talk to anyone as they would question me how my dad grew things laugh. No grower would tell another grower what their secret ingredient was laugh.
Hi Elaine, a lot more growers are willing to share their methods now. It does make me smile how things used to be 😀
🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Man them leeks!
Brilliant video would love to try the Giant veg [in a small way] but wouldn't have a clue if you had time and room next year Nigel could you have a go at the Cucumber or something and show us the ropes from sowing to harvest plz
Hello, I have just had some giant veg seed given to me. Look out for my new video which will appear later today 😀
🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Huh? What? American here, different language entirely. Great veggies.
right lol he's like just this and that and I have no idea
When Neil sits down to look at his leeks does he nearly sit on 2 nails sticking up ??????
Aye,save the seed,it will cost you a lot of nothing.Fine words,well said. : ]
Those are some huge vegetables. I just wish they spoke English so I could understand them.
