I was wating for Benny Hill to pop up and chase ur girl ,lol
Thank you for making smile
Me too. Now I need to UA-cam some Benny hill
I got the gist of what you were doing after about 2 minutes but watched the whole thing because I loved watching it with the Benny Hill music. I kept on waiting for you to start chasing Lucinda around the tree or pat your neighbor on the head really fast. Fun!
how about an update on it this many years later I'd really like to see how is going looks like you do a great job
Wow! What a great concept! You both are a fun green couple! Thanks! Wish we were neighbors! Could get some great ideas from you!
lol I noticed how well the neighbors backed up their trailer and Lucinda's brick laying skills
This has been the most entertaining gardening video I've watched I was expecting Benny Hill and his ladies to PoP out any minute thanx!!! I truly enjoyed it.

.... and I am the FUN VIEWER. That's fast and cute. I love the idea. I used also card boards to cover the weeds instead of digging the soil and pull the weeds. So tiring and besides the weeds keep on sprouting again.
This video was way more entertaining than I expected it to be. I had fun watching it. It showed me exactly what I need to know to mulch around my fruit trees. Also, I just got off the phone with the company that manufactures the Mycorrhizae product that you are using and that is the exact product they recommended to me. They manufacture here in my town. I thought that was a crazy coincidence to see their product in your video. Spot on what I am planning for my back yard orchard. Thanks!
I love this video. You all did a good job & I like the fast forwarding explanation!
I took this knowledge to work with me today and it helped me understand the basic idea of the use and application of mulch. Thanks!
Awesome video, I really enjoyed it.
awesome, great to see you in action!
nice,and well done, concerning the cardboard wrotting, yes it will rot away in under two months, but if you dont desturb the soil and it doesn't get the light down there weed seeds will stay dormant, go do a permaculture course if you want to learn more, keep building it up:)
I love it! I use a very similar system to grow crops. Works way better than people think.
excellent...fast and to the point without words...i loved it...thankyou
Beautiful my friend, thank you very much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. This is what I do too. Works every time, is good for the soil, and the cardboard is free! I have also done this in my beds to eliminate weeds, and encourage worms. It does wear down over a year, but I just put new cardboard under the new mulch in the spring, where needed.
Great demonstration video! 👍🏼
This is the greatest video on UA-cam
This is so dang funny but a great video! It really just made my day😂
Great video.
You made it fun to watch.
awesome, thanks for the great tip.
Awesome Video!
This was cool, enjoyed it😊
more!!!! that was great!
That was awesome!!
*_Unbury the Root flare from accumulated/raised soil level first before mulch mounding!_*
Everytime I hear this music I think of Benny Hill specials I used to watch as a kid
oh this was great! Enjoyed the whole music bit...
Very, funny guys,Loved it

Great video...thanks!
Awesome video :)
Lol! Love the video. 😄😄😄
It's the "Benny Hill" of mulching 😂
THE BEST VIDEO EVER!
Innovative and creative
Beautiful
You two did a nice job. It looked great when you were finished. I cant say the same for your camera man, it sure was hard on the eyes when (who ever) moved it around in so many directions and so fast.
Benny hill into brilliant!! Great video:)
A delightful video!
Put holes in cardboard and then water can get into tree roots. Also dont ever put mulch up against tree base. You can place flower pots inside ring already planted with plants. Great idea. Thanks.
An excellent demo in general,, but please don't mulch right up to the trunk of a tree or bush! That's a good way to get a diseased or dead tree. Pull the mulch back around the trunk and give it an inch or two of space.

Agree & he didn't have to use so much mulch. It looks good but pull that mulch away from the trunk of the tree
Great fun 👏
Cute Video!
Love this!
love the video... no need for boring talking.
GREAT ENJOYED IT, THANKS
"Why would you create a garden in under a shade tree?" Why not? looks nice. Not all plants need full sun.
Creating a garden under a tree is a great way to use available moisture, as well as keeping the ground covered with am attractive living mulch . . . among other reasons. :)
How satisfying!
What are amendments and is it necessary to test the soil prior to starting the project? Can I also use this to grow healthy, weed free grass? What if I decide to put gravel instead of compost, just using the cardboard as an organic weed-free barrier instead of landscape fabric, will it keep the soil healthy and weed-free for a fairly long time? Thanks.
awesome but I want to see it in full bloom!
thank you
nice video..
bien exclicado...excenent..
Loved the Benny Hill theme!
read about mulch against the tree maybe pull it away.. just a few inches . great vid
"Offer vegetables to your neighbors"!
Snazzy vid. Diggin it!
I have always used Newspaper. Same effect only thinner. Either way its hard to do when its windy, I spray water as I go so it don't blow away!
I would love to see an update.
very cute...
Can mulch be used instead of compost
Wonderful way to see a gardening tip without all of the talk. We just want to see how it's done. We don't want to be talked to death!
did you add two layers of bricks? or did she just add another round of bricks? it seemed like the first layer were at an angle, did you add a second layer to even it out? do you think something like cinder block would work as a border for the straight edges, or would it be too high?
Does the grass underneath die off or poke though eventually?
Love the Benny Hill music! Hahaha!
I agree with you not a good idea to spade your roots and build up mulch around the trunk...not good, but i have to admit it does look pretty good haha
wahay, nice stuff :-)
Was disappointed there was only one video! Make more .. like your compost
How's the tree after 10 years no crown rot with all the added soil?
cute video..
I’m here 13yrs later looking for more videos😂
great vid.. now i know what I want my ringtone to be.. The Benny Hill Show theme song... Thanks 😂
you must be planting shallow root plants
Would love to see how it looks now in 2020, 11 years later!
Haha fun video
Isn't it bad to raise the soil level around the drip line of a tree?
Wish there was a before and after.
cool
So? How does it look now?
It is so funny to read all the comments. Nobody has any clue what they are talking about. Everyone has an opinion. Cant you just watch the video and appreciate it for what it is. Everyone is a critique. Look at yourselves. So sad. Do yourselves a favor and educate yourselves about sheet mulching before writing a "know it all" comment.
euphony745 so true
A LOT OF THE AIR GOT THE FERTILIZER , THAN THE GROUND . INTERESTING AND CUTE . EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE . WE CAN GET A LOT DONE WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER . IF I PUNCH HOLES IN THE CARD BOARD , WOULD THE WEED BEGIN TO GROW THROUGH THIS ? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE IDEA WITH THE CARDBOARD TO GET RID OR GRASS AND WEEDS
I've always been told not to plant directly into compost.
that grass was holding that soil together
way better than listening to some boring talking. lol. looks good
Excellent video (Thank you Lucinda) and I fear the glues used in card boards. I unfortunately also live in an HOA neighborhood and planting anything other than flowers is apparently a sin against the gods of the HOA.
great idea on fast view. I'm not understanding the fertilizer part only to then cover it up???
Healthy soil for the tree roots?
how come you don't use mulch? i thought you need mulch as well? it looks like all u used is cardboard and compost?
How can they move that fast? Awesome. Great vid.
I have a few concerns. Didn't you need to dig out around the tree to prevent strangling the trunk? Does anyone in your family wear shoes?
Curious why you fertilized then put cardboard over top of that?
The cardboard supresses the grass and weeds from growing and as the cardboard breaks down plant roots go through them reaching into the soil below with the fertilizer in it.
Looks good.. Ran will wash it away though.
Why would you create a garden in under a shade tree?
