"Permaculture is revolution disguised as gardening" is a quote attributed to Mollison and while not strictly true (permaculture is a whole system design discipline and more a form of subversion rather than revolution) and Mothin Ali is one of the great exponents of being the living example with his experience knowledge and can do attitude - literally walks the talk and ennobles and empowers through these videos
Ty for sharing...I enjoy your family and very calm demeanor. I love the 3 Rs in gardening...not everyone can afford fancy raised beds and pots. I love how people get sooooooo creative and make it useful and beautiful again!
Gardening doesn't have to be expensive, especially now when everyone is struggling
In my old neighborhood nearly all the garden areas and pots were made from reused material. One of the neighbors had a greenhouse made out of the old windows she had replaced on her house. Another neighbor had an old tree with hollowed out branches that got turned into pots. When the pots started to fall apart, they got turned into Heugel culture berms to direct water flow towards the storm drains and prevent flooding. The average 4X8 raised bed cost about $1 for the nails or screws to fasten it together. Most of the time the beds were filled with straight mulch from fallen leaves and grass clippings. We called it "broke as a joke gardening." It was one of my greatest adventures in gardening. I loved it.
Admire how resourceful you are with your gardening! The world would be a better place if more gardeners followed your example! Keep up the good work!
@@paulagrissom9114 Unfortunately, I learned from necessity not so much from the desire to do the right thing. I was so poor I literally couldn't afford dirt. My neighbors were all broke as a joke too, so we did our best to figure out how to do things with as little money as possible. One person would figure something out and then it would get shared around with everyone else. Mind you if I had UA-cam at the time, we would have gotten a lot further a lot faster than we did checking out books from the library.
I love that. I've saved all the glass from when I got my windows replaced to build a new greenhouse, just need the time to get it done ✅
Dude your garden never ends, we need a drone shot of it to see how big it is to get a proper picture, no pun intended.
I wish I had a drone lol
You are an inspiration, thanks for the ideas! (Viewer from Australia)
Magnificent mate, very admirable
You are so clever with your recycling. Garden looks fabulous.
I love recycled garden stuff
Great video Monty, important message and helpful tips
Our eldest gets cake lids like that from Costco cakes brilliant idea, I'm having the lids from now on lol.
On reusable wait to see what's been done for lisas chicken. Tires we made a wall out of them and filled with flowers comfrey things like that. We also had pots dropped off from a grower neighbour saw them been tossed out by police and brought 50 or so for lisa 😂😂😂
3 weeks of rainy weather in Amsterdam, had to escape to soutern Europe for some sun. Garden is stunted because of all the rain and sub 20C temperatures unfortunately.
I used an old couch that my wife was throwing out. Took a bit of time but I stripped off the fabric and hardware. Made a great trellis out of it!
Be proud of that trellis arbor
I'm really happy with it, turned out better than I planned
Well done, use what you have and help yourself. Great garden.
Love the bathtub. The bath is now a bed LOL
Hi hello have a a a a a huge
Where was that skip? I need a set of doors like that 😂 Awesome video.
I can't help but look into skips whenever I pass one
my greenhouse is built from our old windows that we replaced two years ago and with wood from our neighbous old balcony ,he changed it to a metal balcony,I did buy perspex for the roof for safety reasons
Awesome I've got another greenhouse to build from my old windows when I get around to it
@@MyFamilyGarden billiant can't wait to to see the end result ,my very first greenhouse I built with my grandad in the 70s from old bits of wood and polythene ,we had our tomatoes in there (the smell --amazing) ,every time I work on our tomatoes makes me think of grandad --a master of gardening
Have you moved home ?
No, still at the same place
to prove how bad the chemicals in rubber are....... as you might remember i used to work in a factory producing rubber for the automotive industry. the hospital told me i have a rare blood cancer that is not life threatening. the end result is low appetite and the white of an egg tastes like garlic.....................brian
So sorry to hear that Brian but glad it's not life-threatening.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
How are you doing at the moment?
@@MyFamilyGarden worried about tomorrows hospital visit...............brian
Hi Mothin, have you done a video on how you use the IBC's as a wormery? Be good to see - i got given a couple of the commercial stacking ones that work well but like a greenhouse if you were to calculate pay back time on produce value against financial investment it would take years. In a small productive garden keeping the soil fertile is one of the big challenges.
Here's my worm bin in action ua-cam.com/video/VcxTIbCX6BI/v-deo.html
I managed to get an ibc for free
does not surprise me, good work@@MyFamilyGarden so far I've manage to get about 6 for free and one still had a couple of litres of food grade Palestinian olive oil in it :) - we get them from LUSH
Ma’sha’Allah, your garden looks really nice and using recycled wood 👍🏻
You’ve got good weather for the plants , unlike Manchester with rain. It’s stunted the growth of my plants.
Alhamdulillah yesterday was quite nice, first time in a long time
Is the bathtub plastic or ceramic? Great video, thank you 😃🌻
Plastic
@@MyFamilyGarden it's stood the test of time then! 😃
Is the single drain hole on a bathtub really good enough drainage?
I'm a bit conflicted on that, I put on extra holes but it dries out too fast now as an after thought I should have made more of a wicking bed
@@MyFamilyGarden On our two raised beds we did the wicking and it actually worked too well the water was running out as fast as we watered,eventually, it rotted down a bit and now after a year it seems to be about right
our raised beds are about the size of the bath with one drainage hole about the size of a plug hole, we put buckets underneath and just re-watered
