Great video! I was covering an area with cardboard last weekend and had to find my mum strength too 😂💪🏻 I made home made pumpkin spice latte last year and loved it, but forgot all about it! You’ve now just given me another use for my pumpkins! Thank you! Have a brilliant week 😊🪴💚
Pumpkin spiced latte, what a great idea Nik. 😍 Fab video and informative especially for newbie gardeners who don't know this information and a great reminder for experienced gardeners. I guess I fall somewhere in the middle 😂 Lovely meeting you at Malvern. Have a great week ❤ x
That is some strawberry patch👌 My onions go in boxing day from seed as everytime i use to use sets they bolted🙄 Same bed covers as me, alcathene pipe and scaffold netting😊
don't I have to split it up every year, I started off with 10 plants! and was like oh I should get more! same age! I'm going to grow mine all from seed, I'm thinking between 400-600, as we use so many did 300 last year. they are such good and cheap beds. I love them never new the name of the pipe tho! what do you have to net where you are? we are everything really birds, bugs and rabbits
Lovely reminder of the 3 best ways to mulch our beds for winter prep. Thank you. When we were building our beds last year, and filling them, I loved being able to hide all my Amazon boxes 😂😂 The pumpkin spice latte looked lovely, if only I liked milky or creamy coffee 🤪
I’m topping with mushroom 🍄🟫 manure and getting beds ready for winter. I don’t grow a lot outside as we can hit minus 16c come Dec Jan 😮. But great job Nik and Andrew 😂, Ali ☔️🌞🇨🇦
Like 27 my FRIEND! Cardboard is FREE and easy to use. It also attracts worms to your garden and that is a good thing! Yes, remove plastic tape and staples!
Fantastic educational video Nik. I recently had a tour of a local vineyard and they use sheep's fleece as a mulch around the grapevine, its good to protect the roots from the cold but also slugs hate it die to the lanolin that's in the fleece. Seemingly sheep farmers now-a-days in the UK struggle get anything for the fleeces so it might be a cheap resource if you can source from a local farmer. Never tried it myself but something I'm looking into.
I have head of this! I have thought about using it in the green house! I would love to support the farmers. Maybe it's something I can look into for next year!!! Thanks so much

Thanks for the tasking list. Was working on improving old compost from my containers this morning in my garden. I better cover it with cardboard.
I think it's worth it I'm battling sting nettles in mine! Bright side they say it's means it's good soil?
