Cardboard is your friend and the worms love it

We're turning our garden into three rows of raised beds with a polytunnel. It's almost finished, but it's been a lot of work. We're trying to squeeze as much growing space as possible in our small side garden. Our issue is drainage with having clay soil, hence the raised beds instead of growing at ground level. I think you'll find them better for weed management too. Can't wait to see the progress 😃

Oh fab and I see some mom and daughter challenges 😂. You all work so hard and it’s evident in your harvests. Have a fab week Nik, Ali ❄️🥶🇨🇦

I really hope Jasmine enjoys her new growing space. Has she decided what she wants to grow in those beds? Raised beds are definitely hard work to put in but I really love the neat edges and clean lines. Happy growing

Growing is a win no matter how it's done. It can evolve as your family evolves too. It will be fun to see Jasmine's new area grow.

As a newbie gardener it's something that I'll learn to do as I grow and experiment, especially because I want to grow food for other family members 😊

That's how I felt with the old plot - didn't seem to matter how much organic matter I added it just didn't make a difference

Raised beds all the way! Best way to go in my opinion. So much more control after the initial work. Thank you for the update Kim. And i love the generator 🤓

I bloody loved this one! Made me quite emotional with the sharing with plot friends 🙈🙈

Do you think you have used your land to its best potential?

Great video Nik! Hopefully you can beat that bindweed! We had a load of it but only seem to get it coming through next doors fence. We still have mares/horse tail but every year, it seems to be less of an issue, so hopefully we will conquer it completely. Yes even for our small garden, it is amazing to see how much we can grow in such a small space. When do you usually sow your tomatoes? I am sowing mine later today. Quite excited for the new varieties this year! 8 in total this year. How many varieties are you doing this year as i know you like your varieties? Have a fab weekend and hope Jasmine likes her new garden area! Take care x

Lots to think about, thank you.

Using every inch indeed! I always think I need more space but repurposing space is so easy! ❤

Some great ideas for producing lots of crops. Thanks 😊

Someone's having fun. Lol

Hi I have just found your channel. Imnin Sussex and been growing a garden and canning / preserving for the last few years. Slugs and blight is my biggest issue. The sourdough starter idea is brillillient and I will give it a go. I bought a lot of reusable slug traps last year so ready to start. Last yesr I was picking them all and feeding to the chickens but there are just way to many slugs so need to try lots of things.

Nice to get the seeds off yo a hood start 😊

I've never heard about using sourdough for slugs...beer yes, never sourdough. Thanks for that! I'll have to try it

Nice headstart to the growing season

Love your style of video. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on 5K you deserve it and more. ❤🥦🫛💐🪴☘️☘️🧑‍🍼

Wow Mrs N, a great quantity of quality information crammed into one video. Thanks so much. Subbed, liked and rang your bell. Off to watch your ultimate guide to storing a years worth of food. See you there. All the best.

Congrats on 5k Nik and for sticking in here for the long haul! Good advice, as always. Altho I refuse to accept lack of space as a reason not to continue sowing anything and everything!

the ultimate dream

Great advice!!! Didn’t know about using sourdough starter for the slugs - will definitely give that one a whirl!

Thank you for your video, I don't have anyone in real life either to talk to be the garden, so thank you for all your info and support

Excellent job explaining when to sow seeds based on frost dates!

Thanks Nik, always such sound advice! Well done on 5k 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 amazing 💜💜💜 Xxxxx

I love the quick fire video Nik ❤ no messing bish bash bosh info info info !! 🫶

LETTUCE 😂

Very handy dandy vid <3 thanks so much

Great video. You’ve definitely found your calling ❤

5k!! Well done ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Bay gave you a 5k celebratory kiss 😂❤

You and Kerry both advocate for the starter for slugs. Although Kerry only feeds them, instead of trapping. 🤣❤️❤️

Love hearing Andrew all happy whilst you’re sowing

Congratulations 🥳 Nik it’s not surprising to us at all your awesome ❤❤, Ali ❄️☔️🇨🇦

Nik What chillies are you growing.

Congrats Nik on 5k subscribers! I love your videos x

Well done on 5k subscribers, you deserve it. 🙂

Thank you Nik for your good and practical advice but mostly for your positive words which help those of us suffering with mental health struggles. You are such a genuine no nonsense kind of person. Wishing you continued success for the future.

I have stopped using soap for aphid, be careful not to kill beneficial bugs. I have just found you and love your energy.

Congratulations on 5k Nik! Hope Jasmine is feeling better. Have a great weekend and take care.

Thanks. A wealth of great ideas of things to grow and how to look after your crops Thank you 😊

Great video x

We Americans do have baked beans and jacket potatoes. But I think our baked beans are Campbell’s brand, not Heinz, and I don’t think they taste the same. We just call a jacket potato a baked potato. We usually top them with cheese and broccoli or butter, cheese, and sour cream. Or even salsa. Breakfast things we’d get out where I live are pancakes with real maple syrup. Or waffles. Or eggs and toast. But no baked beans or tomatoes or fried bread or black pudding.

❤❤❤

All your work is great.❤
