  • If you enjoy watching some slow paced gardening, join me on a relaxing mashup of my month so far in the allotment where I take on a range of spring jobs. These include potting up Acers, planting out my salad crops, planting a new climber and giving my herb bed some TLC. Don't worry, the May tour will be out in a separate video!

    Perlite makes a big difference. Holds water and losens up the soil, making roots grow way more easily. The faster the roots grow, the faster your plant grows.

    You can train brambles along wires to help tidy them , and keep them manageable, then they produce a lot more verticle spur's witch in turn gives far more friut.

    I just found your channel. I absolutely love that you incorporate so many flowers with the herbs, fruits and veggies being a bee keeper. :D Unfortunately living in Tennessee, USA I can't let the gardens get to a point that I can't see the ground well. I don't want to encounter a rattlesnake or any of the other native venomous snakes! Clean and trim keeps them pretty much at bay. I saw some Ginko trees at my sons doctors office. I fell in love with the looks but the "nuts" smell like dog poo! I had took some of these and had them in a opened baggie in the car door pocket. I forgot about them! My son got in the car one day and he's hunting to see if he stepped in some somewhere. lololol. I also looked online and it says toxic to animals. :( We have horses, a bull and a sheep and goat. We mow our lawn and feed them the clippings so it made me afraid to buy a tree. :( The internet seems to over blow toxicity but I want to make sure 1 tree isn't going to be a huge problem. Does anyone know anything about it?

    Hi Katerina, your garden is looking amazing! We are doing great this year and have been getting lot's of rain and our garden is doing great. Mike built grow tables for our pots in the vegetable garden and it works great. Our lettuce grow table is 4 ft tall and we can stand to harvest. How big is your allotment? We took a vacation last year in September to the Cotswold's and loved it. We are going again this year as well. Blessings to you. Rochelle

    I use the old zinc tubs that masons used to use. I got hold of some before they got popular ( and expensive) I have got a couple of the big black plastic ones that got holes during the renovating of my home. they are all big enough that you can have bigger plants in them and dont need daily watering. and they can be humped around by two people. the few pretty terracotta ones will fit on my sitting area in the kitchen garden. I have seen some stones pots in reclaimation yards. they make me drool but a pair cost about the same as my house.

    I still find it amazing that one person in the U.K. can have such a large allotment garden space. I've read over the years that a waiting list for a space can be decades long. A New York newspaper article about it that I read quoted a older fellow saying "he thought he had won the lottery getting a plot." In my case in Canada, ours has 15 raised beds 10ft x 4ft..one per person and 10 commom beds with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries etc. for all to share. Your space could shared by at least 4 people.

    • @homegrowngarden
      @homegrowngarden  Год назад +1

      This is the traditional allotment plot size that is intended for a family to feed from. Waiting times may be that long in London but elsewhere you should get one within a few years. I was lucky, gardening interest was relatively low when I got mine within 6 months. We’re also lucky that on my site of 600+ plots more of them are available each year in comparison to a normal sized allotment site.
