I HAVE AN ALLOTMENT!
Переглядів 6 тис.2 місяці тому
AUG 2024 Welcome to my allotment gardening channel. My name's Tom and these vlogs follow my allotment adventure. As of mid August 2024 I acquired a plot, my first one! I have no gardening knowledge so could do with all the help I can get! But I'm a glass half full kinda guy. So everything to gain and nothing to lose! (apart from a few lettuces to the slugs) In this first video I show the plot, ...

    If you see fruit trees for sale or anything else, that is the time to plant them. When they are dormant. In pots on your allotment. Dwarf trees still give you a goid wee harvest. Its coming along well. Put sheep manure in a pile somewhere and the worms will come then you can out them all over the allotment.

    I think that you may be too late for potatoes this year. I believe that you plant in the spring, just before your last frost. At this time of year you can’t get much out of a garden if you haven’t planted it months ago. All those potatoes in one plant pot won’t give you anything lad. You need to plant the potatoes a foot or two apart, early next year. Check out books or UA-cam videos - Charles Dowding videos. John Seymour, Elliot Coleman books. Lots of good things from both sides of the pond but you need to get your seasonal timing right. Good look and happy gardening 😊

    Good job buddy if you can check out your green waste recycling centre they usually sell compost by the ton you will need a wheelbarrow and put on as much as you can afford if you have a ditch in your part when's it can suffer with flood in which is not a problem you just build up with compost I collect all my neighbours grass cuttings and cardboard recycling on recycling day to make lots of compass good luck

    Making good progress, well done 😊 the garlic pieces are “cloves” and all the cloves together make a bulb. I have couch grass on my plot too, I think it’s definitely the lesser evil compared to bind weed.

    With your small greenhouse (put the clear plastic cover on the top again), you can start plants inside all yearlong. Then, plant outside about 3-8 weeks after starting. There are still many vegetables that you can plant for an Autumn/Winter garden. Lot's of YT videos that cover these topics. Find your zone and you'll be ready to go. Have fun each year. Your plot is big enough for lots to grow. The way the black plastic was covering the grass, etc. is the way "no till gardening" is done. Watch some videos on that topic too. You don't have to remove all the vegetation to get started.

    I don't understand.Everytime I watch a new allotment vlog the new tenant starts by saying,"At last,after waiting 2 years, I have finally taken over a plot". Then they pan over the plot and it is obvious that it has been untended for a long time. Waist high weeds and brush,trash all over,and sheds falling down.So why the long waits on the list? I know that weeds grow fast,but come on, Councils and Associations,do your job!

    You're doing just fine. Sometimes, all you need to do is pull a few weeds, enjoying the downtime. You've done more in a very short period of time than some other allotment you tubers I'm following. Good going. I've planted the garlic ( oct 22 ) and green manure as to not leave my beds empty, then I'll dig them in next year for the nutritional value. I definitely favor my raised beds, hardly any weeds, smaller areas easier to keep up with, and because of the harsh climate and limited growing season, but I understand they're not for everyone. 🇨🇦🇬🇧

    Sorry but music choice is awful, less techno less in your face 🫣🤯 and horse manure is one of the best compost solutions which will help with your soil problems 👍🏽 Best of luck!

    @maryannnorton9138 Місяць тому

    Not too late to put in some garlic. You might be able to put in some broad beans, too. The worst that can happen is the beans get winter killed and you can dig it in in the spring. But maybe you'll get broad beans.. Garlic goes in October or November where I live (Portland, OR USA, zone 8B)

    May I suggest that when you start a video you put the date or at least the month on screen, it helps when watching a few months out of sync. Cheers.
