Hopefully some nice gardening inspiration for us in these dark winter days😀 I really enjoyed visiting Becky's incredible garden back in the summer! Thank you so much for watching and you can follow Becky on Instagram at instagram.com/sow_much_more?igshid=11a6aofcctt2o 🌱
I have a small backyard. My neighbour sprayed round-up in the fence line. It blow 2 metres.
Can i have a mail?
@@stefaniazanotto1661 ?????
@@batbarasobczak351 a mail for contact becky...
💐 Incredible stuff indeed...This was really helpful, we need to understand Nature !
Ecological balance & Soil Structure is crucial, Constantly Improving the same with quality composting is important !!
Organic has to come Naturally, practicing Permaculture will ultimately open doors to Health, Happiness n Happenings !!!
I'm feeling Motivated...Thank-you all 👏
Please make your own UA-cam channel, it was a delight to see someone with an amazing “normal” sized garden where regular viewers will be able to follow and replicate without the need for a few acres of land and a greenhouse the size of a house.
I'm going to start working on it 🙈
YES!!!! please
Look up 'one yard revolution'
@@SowMuchMore That's great, Becky! Looking forward to it, because not everyone live in farms, or has acres of land.
And a normal size womanly body, not those all same looking typical Instagram models or UA-camrs.
I started a veggie patch this year, I dig up the grass, cover the patch with cardboard, cut holes in the cardboard and insert "grow tubes" (made from soda bottles) and plant my veggies in the grow tubes and I have harvested a bit so far. In Cape Town, South Africa we almost ran out of water 2 years ago so it's important to try and save as much as possible. I only water inside the grow tubes that protrude a bit above the veggies and cardboard. I invented this way of doing things as I am a pensioner. When I have completed my garden I am going to show it on UTube.
I never really thought about my garden as reducing our carbon footprint. Now I am even more excited about my new 20' x 25' full sun garden.
Saving the world one plant at a time 🌼
I'm all for being responsible about our environmental impact, but until companies like Chevron, BP, Exxon etc reduce their impact I don't believe what we do makes too much of a difference.
@@flaquis2729 we all do what we can within our budget and knowledge. The best thing to do is vote for your more environmentally conscious politicians! And I've since put my money into a bank that doesn't support oil companies. Money speaks, if you have it.
Oh I’m so envious. A full sun garden!
@@flaquis2729 Vote with your dollar
I love this video showing how you can actually grow sustainable food in a small space. Our family of five grows 80% of our food on 1/8 acre, 10 minutes from downtown. I hope this is a movement that will grow
Why don't you do a channel too???
@@debbieolin8153 we have one
@@ZeroWasteFamily I will check it out!! What's the name??? Once the temp got below 100 here, I got a bumper crop of everything and had to learn to can. Now I am really fired up!!!
Listen to what she says in the beginning: she spent all winter redoing her garden. That's how you get such a gorgeous garden - you don't quit and go inside at the end of the season, you work on it throughout the whole winter so that is completely ready to plant as soon as spring arrives. It's January and I'm making biochar and digging out the deep rooted weeds. My peas, carrots and lettuce will be easily planted early in spring.
Depends on where you are located. When the ground is frozen under a foot of snow, there isn't much garden work to do.
Agree, even if we have snow or a freeze there are plenty of thaws and that's a great time to put down compost. I enjoy looking at the garden in winter, it gives a good view of what I can improve and what plans to make for the upcoming season. My friends laugh when I say I was working in the garden on a snowy day. 🤷🏽♀️ Plenty of work in the winter. 😁
Frozen ground...areas of flood water....no chance of getting anything done!
@@ohio_gardener Location makes a big difference. The UK might not get the long deep freeze but here outside Chicago, we do.
I agree and of course it depends on where you are located. Here in the West of France, I worked on my new garden plot until December and started researching on the plants/flowers I am going to plant this Spring. I keep myself busy planning though I know at the beginning of the season I just throw aways my plan 😄. I do this because Jan/Feb makes me feel depressed and so down. Working and thinking about the coming season gives me some energy to get up everyday.
Hew! She needs to have a youtube channel!!!
That's what I thought as well. I was trying to find her channel on UA-cam.
@@gardentours I found her channel here on YT. She doesnt seem to be uploading there regularly :(
I'm working on it! 🙈
I was going to say the same thing!
@@SowMuchMore just followed you on IG. Look forward to learning from you:
.
For a beginning gardener, she is exhibiting a wealth of knowledge, especially her discussion of the Living Soil Food Web. It is great to see what she has been able do with that barren piece of dirt, to turn it into rich productive soil.
she's not really a beginner if she has a degree in ecology.
@@karenschneider7395 Also have been gardening for about 20 years 😂 But I'm new to *this* garden! 😊
oh please - not another one who refers to our wonderful living soil as 'dirt' - !!!
Why do people call such a wonderful soil as dirt Ridiculous
Finally someone with a small backyard most of us can relate to. Found her YT channel. I wish she uploads more regularly now that you introduced her to us. Thank you Huw!
what's her yt channel?
@@menacinglygorgos7653 It is under "Sow Much More".
I wish I had a best friend like her... 😭 Such beautiful soul. Thank you for taking care of our planet and being Green. 💚
I'm amazed at how many plants she's managed to pack into the space and still keep them all looking vibrantly healthy.
What a special space! A few months ago I found a random seedling sprout in my compost, so a few months ago I threw it into an old, raised garden bed and last weekend I harvested 5 butternut pumpkins/squash. Seeing them grow almost by accident gave me the bug so we’re now planning a backyard similar to yours :-)
I feel like Becky is who I want to be. Thank you for sharing your story. I have an area of land and a few seedlings. And this year I’m finally going to make a go at growing some food!
That was a sheer delight to watch. Thank you both.
My absolute pleasure Karen!!
Thank you so much 🥰 x
Preach it, sister! Exactly why I garden. I recently moved from my hippie homestead acreage to a small lot in the village. The next chapter of my life is making more of a social impact by showing how much food can be grown in a tiny place.
Being a suburban gardener myself, her garden is such an incredible inspiration!
So inspiring! I really appreciate seeing other suburban gardens on realistic pieces of land and those gardening on a budget. Great job, Becky!
Honestly, this is the way - gardening should be!
Nurture nature by instinct. This is the way of a real steward of the land.
Wow, what a woman. Could listen to her all day. So knowledgeable and inspiring.
This is like a crash course on much of what UA-cam has to offer on gardening :D Definitely follow up on all that, people, it's marvelous what can be achieved on tiny amounts of well fed soil!
I love your set up!! I have an 800 sq foot garden and that's just the backyard!! It's taken me 4 years to get it set up!! And I'm still going/struggling to do so!! LOL!! Yes I am on a budget as well!! :-)!!
Becky I love your podcast too! Seed pod is one of my favorites!
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful garden. The before and after is amazing.
Well done Becky! I'm at the opposite end of the scale in years from you, but I too am just creating my own food producing garden in Ireland (which means rain, rain, and more rain). Your garden looks gorgeous and you're an inspiration to anyone wanting to grow their own food, something that's more important than ever now.
Alice Rozen thank you so much 🥰💚
Omg where is this beautiful soul on UA-cam? Please please make a youtube channel I could listen to you talk all day. Your garden is such a treat and a inspiration xx I’m heading over to Instagram to find you, subscribe and learn all you have to share 💗 thank you for this wonderful video
I can't even tell you how often I come back and revisit this video. Being a small-scale, urban homsteader myself, but also being so early into my journey this is everything I am calling into my life. I own about a 10th of an acre in the city where my house sits and it's so limiting but also so abundant at the same time when I think about house much can actually be done at such a small scale.
Becky - TEN green thumbs up to you!!! You've done an awesome job with your garden!
I would love a vegetable garden like this but just getting started is so intimidating! I wasn’t around gardeners growing up, so I don’t know what I’m doing but my daughter just turned 1 and I’d love for her to grow up around homegrown food.
This garden is really inspiring! You don’t have to have a lot of space to start! I’m going to have to do some research and crack on :)
Do it. Try growing in containers first using compost (potatoes, garlic, lettuce etc) buy a strawberry Planter and 18 plants, takes up little space and very rewarding. Best of luck
@@MrCobbsalad Thank you! Since leaving this comment I have actually got a few container plants, and I’ve just planted some raspberry canes that I think my daughter will love helping herself from (she’s fruit obsessed!)
Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can keep them alive :)
Superb and snap, Ive just plated 3 raspberry canes, my sons fruit mad 😂
It's addictive this growing lark, am new to it too so get were your coming from, wanna show my kids a different way to bloody tesco.
Best of luck, I'll pray for ye both 😁🍒
Start small :)
Thanks for the tour of this wonderful garden. We live on a 120 acre grass fed organic dairy in Wisconsin, USA. Our son in law and daughter take care of the cows, pigs, and chickens. My wife and I retired here and brought our bees and gardening interest with us. We are in year two for the deep mulch garden and look forward to starting a green house and building raised beds this year out of old fence boards. I love your interplanting and emphasis on healthy soil.
This video is really relatable for me as she lives in the UK in a small plot.
Beautiful garden, beautiful human, and beautiful wisdom!
I truly love Becky
To Becky and to Huw, wonderful and very uplifting video. WELL DONE!! Lovely garden and so much more. I own a small scale family farm and I practice permaculture/no -till and I'm still very impressed by Becky's garden. Thank you to both of you for showing what organic growing in small plot can achieve.
Becky is one of my fave gardeners! Love everything about her.
Thank you Huw and Becky for sharing! Becky is passionate and eloquent in a way that is engaging and inspiring. Cheers!
Becky this was absolutely brilliant and I enjoyed your garden a lot. You are an inspiration. Thanks.
Everything we see here is pure beauty. Becky seems to me to be a magic fairy who, if she inspires enough people, will save our earth and turn it into a paradise.
this is absolutely amazing! how inspirational for anyone who thinks they don’t have enough space to garden. thank you for this video❤
Thanks so much Becky.
Thank you for this video. Just shows how much can be packed in to a garden.
That looks amazing!! I love the before and after of gardens. Such a difference!
Definitely a good video. She needs her own youtube channel. I would definitely subscribe. I don't do the social media thing that much, not really my thing, but I do watch youtube a lot to learn better ways to garden (among other things). Definitely inspirational.
My thoughts exactly. :) There aren't many channels about small British gardens, especially not ones that are this productive.
Sorry, how do you watch her video, I tried the link for Instagram but could not get further. Not great at tech... help, please.
@@mariagibbons8437 I think this on UA-cam is her only video. Can you play that?
@@zoratamas4379 Thanks! Yes, I press it when it appeared with your reply. Thanks again,
Thank you - I'm going to work on it!!
Great wealth of knowledge being shared. I'm 34 and also have embarked on a mission of self sufficiency, following you veg in 1 bed month by month and as of yesterday half constructed my greenhouse.
I’m enjoying seeing other people’s gardens and getting inspiration to start my own veg garden,. Thanks Huw.
I am a nursery horticulturalist from Sydney Australia. The grass is always greener somewhere else. But I sure wish I lived there out of the humidity
Sooo lovely and inspiring! My small yard has turned into a vegetable and herb garden over past year 😁🌞🌼🦋🐝🌸
Amen sister! Community gardens are the future. Grow your own is the only way!
Even growing just a few herbs and salad leaves makes a huge difference. Everything is wrapped in plastic in the shops near me and leafy stuff goes off before I can use it all. Now I can pick what I can use and it is much fresher and therefore more nutritious that that from the store.
I don't know how anyone can dislike this video! What's not to like!
Thanks Huw good to share videos from your peers! Monty Don better beware! Lol
Fantastic! This is so inspiring. Thank you Becky. And Huw!
Very inspirational in Small Garden but lots of crop veg to harvest
You have a lovely garden with good diversity. I like your philosophy of cramming things together and using all spaces- we do same- it’s so important to learn that with limited space to feel it out and plans don’t always work. Thanks for the lovely tour.
Love her eclectic garden! We have a small urban garden and love to grow lots of food too... I do wish we had a greenhouse to have more seedlings on the go too... we also can up what we grow to help last us through the winter.
I love looking at pretty gardens. I can’t wait for nice weather so I can play in mine again. Thanks for the video. Love from upstate NY
Fantastic feature! This gives me the enthusiasm needed in the “dead” (not at all) of winter. 😊
So cool of you to showcase other people and their gardens as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Very impressive Becky. The world needs more young people like you to save our planet. Thank you for the wonderful video and good luck for the future.
I always remember that old character that used to be on Gardeners Question Time and every answer he gave started with the words, "I think the answer lies in the soil", how right he was.
Amazing! Such an inspiration for me with my own small, suburban space.
Love this! Great work Becky and thanks for sharing Huw!
I'm planning to start a vegetable garden on 160 sqm this year, this video was just so inspiring! I really needed some insight, how much food I can possibly grow in this amount of space. Thank you!
make a plan and throw it out the window. Haha that is exactly what I do. I am in deep snow for 4 months and during that time I like to plan and then when it all starts it is all creative in the moment.
I really appreciate this message and encouragement to grow, to learn, and to reduce our footprint. I'm going to need to see some of this Instagram! So excited for gardening to start! Thanks for feeding me in the meantime. 😁😉
Hi Becky..... lovely video and thank you for sharing. I live in Hampshire Eastleigh and just redoing our garden with raised beds as I struggle with a bad back but extremely excited to get my garden ready for this year. Keep up with the videos. X
What a wonderful video, I really enjoyed hearing about Becky's gardening process.
Wow is the only word I can say. That’s a huge job you are doing. I wish some day to have a garden half as good as yours. I grew up in a village, and we had a great garden and orchard. I miss gardening.
You absolutely can do it! :)
She is so amazing! Yes she is saving the world 👍😃
Thank you for sharing 👍
Such an inspiration, trying to use these ideas while gardening in our yard in Stirlingshire, Scotland. We have NZ flatworms and leilandi hedges on 3 sides and Scottish cold weather and found we grow these outside plants well in these conditions, kale, rocket, peas, beans, mustard greens, lettuce, radish, nasturtium, hardy perennial herbs, raspberries, black currants, tayberries and red-currants, red-veined sorrel, apples, pears, broad beans, tagetes, anise, nigella sativa, fennel, horse-radish, potatoes, strawberries, spring onions, garlic and onions and PS Broccoli. Not much luck with beets including silver-beet (chard), or more tender plants like courgettes, fennel and corn but working on growing pumpkins outside. Have to grow like most in the UK tomatoes and cucumbers under cover, and are always trying to grow French beans with some spectacular fails to slugs and sometimes, rain and, hail in May, and even had sleet in June once. Thank-you for sharing your home and knowledge.
So inspiring! Congratulations for your productive and beautiful garden!
I love it! wonderful. A stunning environment you have created. A well nourished family. Congrats.
6:54 explained *all* the important effects of Gardening. I super totally agree but sadly not so many people don't know these😥
Beautiful garden is one of my dreams once I have my house with a yard.
Thank you so much for your information.
I really appreciate this revolution of gardening :) Thank you so much.
Thanks Huw. What a lovely person!
I approve Beckys’ message that gardening can absolutely solve a lot of our modern day problems. Self sufficiency for any family and community is at the core of its survival.
Unfortunately in many regions of the world where safety and security of the average citizen is not guaranteed- a food forest on any scale is difficult and challenging to manage.
The luxury of not fearing a bomb falling on your head or supplies delayed due to check points, and the expulsion of people from their lands and constant surveillance of any human advancement is not afforded by millions of Palestinians in Jerusalem, the millions of Uighurs in China, the Rohingans in Bangladesh, etc.
These are advanced communities of people who have strong ties to their motherland and the need to keep it healthy yet many are prevented from doing just that.
I hope our conversations on being good shepherds of the earth will also involve discussions of how to respect other people’s homes and land.
Thanks for you video Becky, lots of food to know how a little step can a big impact for our environment
It looks beautiful because it is not planned and therefore natural looking and beautiful, just beautiful
lovely video. This is exactly what Im trying to do at my garden. Still learning, and loving it everyday more.
She has a tortoise!? I love it.
Awesome right!
They will seriously munch on your crops if they are free range, but probably worth it. You have to feed pets something, anyway.
This warms my heart! Would love to share with our members. Bless you for sharing!
Awesome video, love Beckys enthusiasm and the knowledge she has to share! More videos please!
Yes, I would watch Becky's channel!v Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks Huw and Becky!
What an inspiration to see how much is growing there.
Thank you for highlighting this gardener!
You’re amazing. Thank you so much sharing your veggie garden ideas. It gives me lots of inspirations to continue my plantings. Thanks.
I love this, it’s wonderful. I’m planning my little garden here in Winchester to grow as much food as possible next year. Thank you for a heartwarming video
A passion for the environment shines through in your garden. I've tried in vain to grow tomatoes without success: green, small and hard is all I've been able to nurture. I'm going to try again. Will they appreciate some horse muck? Love your video. You're an inspiration - thank you!
Everyone should be learning gardening in primary schools and all the way till they leave, my kids love it and it helps them eat greens
A beautiful video from a beautiful person about a beautiful garden and a heavenly journey 💫😇 I need a cuppa to absorb all of it and then maybe play it again 😂❤️ thank you!!
I love what she said... Very inspiring
This was great! Beautifully shot and a wealth of information . Inspirational Becky. 😊👌
Hi Becky you need to have your own channel !
Truly inspiring! got an allotment garden myself.. only around 20 square ms., but enough for me. It is 100% organic, meaning pesticides are banned. The garden is a true paradise, especially in mid summer, when the sun sets quite late in the evening, and we`re able to enjoy the first veggies of the season, in a salad or straight from the barbeque. Greetings from Oslo.
You really are a fresh breath in this tense time. Very inspiring. Keep sharing. Keep shining Beautiful siStar! Warm Blessings on your way 🌟
I appreciate this endeavor of yours
What a gift this wonderful intelligent young person is.
She is speaking out my thoughts! Amazing garden!
This is inspiring. thanks Becky for this beautiful video.
beautiful! what a lovely young woman. im in michigan in the US and winter is just getting started! i cant plant for 3 more months! this is great inspiration!
Microgreens & or sprouts in jars inside at least its something green&fresh that you know how it was grown
