Thanks for watching! Wednesday's video is all about the complete organic guide to dealing with slugs using zero-cost methods, so stay tuned! Have a great weekend🙂🌿
You to 😁
Hello, I just wanted to mention, stinging nettle and dandelion are not just weeds. Both have a lot to offer, you can eat them, make a substitude coffee from the dandelion roots, rope from the stinging nettle, and both have medicinal use. Not saying you should leave them in your garden, though it is sad that so many people think it is useless weeds. Most you find has a great use for something. Much love, and thank you for the tips! Some will come in very useful!
Of course, people should be discouraged from touching slugs because they can carry rat lungworm, a dangerous parasite.
After watching this video I’ve just purchased both of your books from Amazon! Super excited they will arrive tomorrow, Thanks for your tricks and inspiration! 😊 and I’m going to see what other videos you’ve done. 😊
Why dont you use the dandelion and nettle? They are so nutritious!!!
Dad would have me collect the plastic milk jugs that had screw-on caps. In the summer we/I would poke a number of small holes in the bottom of the jug, fill them with water, recap them, and put them around the tomatoes. When the sun warmed the water it would push it out watering the tomatoes.
That’s a great Italian way. We did that growing up. I would help my MOM. SHE WAS A GREAT 👍 GARDENER 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
Hi I’m new to gardening
So I’m not familiar with a lot of things for instance I don’t really understand if you poke holes in those milk cartons will all the water drain out at once…
Small holes wont let it all come out at once, especially with the lid on. You can see this yourself if you take a ziplock bag with water in it and poke it with a pin or something small. When you open the top the water will come out much faster. Water also sticks to itself so since it sitting in the soil it slowly comes out unless the soil is bone dry of course
@@fallmax think of it like picking up water with a straw by dunking it in and putting your finger on the other end, the airlock holds the water up, and when you let the air in (unscrew the cap in the case of the milk bottles) the water will run out.
Coffee is good for keeping away 4 leg critters away as they don’t like the smell of it...tea bags are ecxerlent for all traces back into the ground.Use banana ,skin to sun dry for 2 days and grind makes Nokia,the flesh good for putting little cuttings into makes the roots its cheaper than buying root starters paste than any where on the market.....Wishing every one good luck all you gardeners all the best
I've used the bottle water next to the plant to maintain heat many times. Rather than painting the bottle black, I've just thrown some cheap black tea in it. Very effective.
Great idea! I guess adding some used coffee grounds will work too
I hope your book made you a lot of money. From all of us who couldn't afford it, but whose lives have been changed by these first two videos. You're a hero.
Bought both your books after viewing your videos during Lockdown Melbourne last year. One year on, still in lockdown!! Have managed to build a vegetable garden, seed raising & propagations for plantings. Even built a grow house not to mention the compost bins. Your inspiration has been so inspiring and appreciated especially in this very different world.
Wow Kate that's so amazing thank you so much for that and sou is like you've got a lovely garden setup now so at least something positive has come from lockdown😊 Best of luck with the rest of your gardening!
Nice one Kate !
"So this squash feels nice, happy, and at home, even though it's growing.... in Wales..." Love it. xd
Great Hacks. Thank you. I put all my nettles, comfrey and dandelion tops into a net bag (usually used to keep smalls together in a washing machine, and available cheap at the Poundshop). Then I suspend these bags in my water butts, and it gives me automatic fertilized water. After the season, it's just slimy stuff that is safe to put into the compost without worry it might spring into flowers again.
By the way, I was a designer for my career. You have a very good publisher. They are particularly good at the organization of information. Their pages are always clean and readable, easily accessible. Congratulations. You landed well.
That pallet tool storage works really well. I put two inside my garage, one bolted to the wall and the second bolted to the first, so it's double depth storage. Very practical.
Hi Huw,
I’m a New England gardener. Nine months of winter, for the most part. You think spring is here, then bam, snowstorm April 1. Oct. is also dodgy for snow.
My brother in Sheffield turned me onto “Gardeners’ World,” which led me on a search. I found your channel. You’re very good, and I like that you recognize your references fairly.
Everything you convey is practical and do-able. Thank you.
Ref the slug traps, water the wood first to make it nice and moist for them :)
Nettle and dandelion are also edible. I've used both as cooked greens. They also make delicious teas.
Watching this now. We've learned more in roughly 30 minutes, between this video and the first 17 garden hacks, than we have in two years.
Awesome info. You're a bucket full of information.
oh please. most of this is useless garbage
Interestingly, I use your plastic bottle funnel as.my watering system- cut off the bottom, bury upside.down, a wide opening for the hose to fill in and a small one for water to soak out 6-8 inches down
Thanks Huw, very useful. Kale flower heads (picked before flowers open) are very tasty (like broccoli) & are a great pick and come again bonus which extends the plant's productivity. I also found to my pleasant surprise the following from a curly kale plant which was virtually naked & I was allowing to go to seed. - After carelessly allowing its stalk to be pushed down horizontally (on a raised bed) for several weeks - it then entered a new lease of life by throwing up lots more vertical tender sprouting shoots for harvesting/eating !
Aha! Similar to what we do with tomatoes? Laying essentially horizontally into the bed?
This is great. One can never have too many free hacks for gardening. Happy gardening!
Huw, thanks for talking about ‘dirty compost’. I often debated about what to do with yard waste and weeds instead of throwing them out or hauling them to the local landfill (I live in the US), so now I’m experimenting with putting it in a bin that can sit for a couple years before using it in planting holes.
Just get a compost bin or make one that can bring the compost Above thr necessary heat index to sanitize the compost while killing unwanted seeds and bugs.
The cardboard and pre-water tips for seed sowing were great enough on their own for me to hit the like button. Thanks for those tips!
Right? Huge tips!
@@mundoohuigin981 Huw-ge tips haha
😀 Another 17 hacks, another comment - this guy is brilliant 👍
Hi Huw, I am putting big round ridge tiles (used for the top of a roof) just behind my planted egg plants, chilis or squashes. They work as sun pitfall, heater and very effective wind blocker! Greetings from Germany, Andreas
like a mini stone wall used in many countries to warm the soil to plant in spring and to extend growing season through fall
That is an excellent idea! I am trying to find a way to grow Okra in my area where we always have chilly nights.
@@khzvaleriesmith6428 YES! Using walls! I've seen a documentary series about life in the Victorian Era, and it was said that in gardening, when they wanted to plant a heat demanding plant, they were planting it to the garden's north wall (who's side was facing the South), for extra sun and heat, and plants that don't demand much sun and heat, to the south wall (because it's side was facing North).
@@lilolmecj I would say plant in hotest months seeds direct sow dig u a trench right in front of the orak
Seeds also sow closer together u may have short plants but they will grow they love heat anyway in trench put all veggies scraps cover with dirt or stew if u got any chickens add this ass well from the coop it’s hot compost the heat will help the okra
5:44 Pretty-much 'cime di rapa', a delicacy known to Italians. They pickle it and use it on pizza and use it raw or cooked in all sorts of dishes.
Huw, glad to see you have suggested one tip for recycling milk cartons.
Last month I noticed that my garden had shards of the plastic labels around the garden following strong winds. I've noticed before that the plastic if milk cartons remain flexible for far longer, so have started to replace the labels on my much love plants, with strips of the milk cartons - it's so easy to create these labels, by using a shop bought label as a guide, I can cut the bottle into a strips, cutting 2 v shaped notches and an key hole the width of the plastic between the 2 V's. I use a permanent marker to write onto the label. Now no broken shards of plastic to collect from the garden!!
I’ve found the UV erases the permanent marker, been meaning to buy a UV resistant one but in the meantime I put the writing facing north so the sun never shines on it. It’s still not good enough to go a whole year.
Popsicle sticks work great you get a hundred for a dollar. Just turn them shade side and it lasts forever
@@loraholifield8782 I’ve done pop cycle sticks. By the end of the season they where 1/2 way to being compost themselves. Maybe if you take them out when the plants get a little bigger they would last.
Also 5ltr bleach container plastic bottles , this white plastic is flexible but thicker and cut into strips makes great labels uv resistant and can be used with uv resistant sharpie pen
Recently bought that book and the Veg in One Bed. Great books. Well written, informaive in an interesting way and nicely illustrated. Loving the beard Huw .
Awh thank you so much! I'm so glad you like them! And my beard too😉
Another very informative video!! No beating around the bush.... pardon the pun...lol..Live how you get right to the point!!
Hi! This video was in my suggested videos. I’m so glad it was. I am trying to grow flowers and vegetables in containers for now, ( don’t want to rush 😂 ) for the first time ever. I have a good sized back garden to trying planting in, if I can master the containers first. Your video’s are such a massive help, especially the “ tips “ videos, I’m so thankful!
With gratitude, Angela from Lancashire England. Stay safe. Subscribed and liked . 😁
I love the soaking weeds tip!!!
Wow. I have to say these are really worthy tips, that only a truly experienced and thoughtful gardener could know.
Thank you so much.
I started a community garden a year ago, and had minimal experience prior.
The garden is now 200 square meters with option to expand to 500 sq m as I get more helpers.
Several of the tips here will help me get my seed starter schedule dialed in, delay bolting, and improve compost production.
I like all your videos, but especially liked this one. Thanks so much for sharing.
For that milk carton scoop, if you rethink it you can make a basket to collect berries if you cut an opening in front of the handle, keeping the handle intact to thread belt, twine, ect through to tie around your waist. Larger cartons work best.
You've reminded me of a video I've done before about this actually! Completely forgot about it 😂
Yay!! I loved this . Thank you!
I watched your videos years ago and I am so glad that I have found you again! You are all grown up! :)
Just got my copy!! Can't wait to grow more food than EVER this season! Thank you, Huw
Another great set of hacks, Huw!

You keep saying the Stinging Nettle is a weed, but it is one of the most nutrishus wild plants and tates great if cooked correctly! It's a cross between spinach and mustard with a hint of garlic. SUper easy to prepair too!!
agree/ growing herbs 40 years +nourishing tasty nettles are drunk by me and several herbalists ive knoen ,every day.
What are nettles?
Perennial nettles (Urtica dioica) and the annual nettle (Urtica urens) are usually CONSIDERED TO BE WEEDS , although if you have the space to leave some, THEY CAN BE AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF FOOD and habitat for butterflies such as the red admiral, peacock and small tortoiseshell.
Think before you comment everyone. This is direct from the Royal Horticultural Society, and i am a student on such a professional course.
Huw knows what he's talking about.
Vaughn Barker
Huw isn't saying they are just weeds.
It also makes a very good tea, if picked and dried after its gone to seed.
fivebarkerboys : considered is different than actually being a weed. Just as dandelion... you are missing on an amazing plant filled with good nutrients!!
Wonderful gardening
I adore all of your videos!!!! Im currently living in an apartment but I am taking so many notes for when I get my home. I will be getting your book soon. Thank you for sharing your gardening knowledge. Happy gardening from Florida USA

Your tips are very useful! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Philippines! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I grow stinging nettles in a corner by my compost bin and harvest regularly to act as a compost accelerator and of course to make nettle tea fertilizer.
I drink nettle leaf tea! It stops an allergy attack instantly when I've been weeding the garden.
I just bought your book mate, I look forward to reading and learning from it as i have just taken on an allotment. Thanks for the videos, Keep up the hard work and stay safe.
