Those potatoes are amazing! Nothing is harder than getting rid of a "spare tire!" 🤣 Enjoying your updates - the good, the bad, and the ugly - from Syracuse, New York!
They are very surprised how good they are doing considering I didn't do anything with the bed no feed etc. that tire was an absolute nightmare 😂 think I will have to reuse it. Glad you are enjoying the updates thanks.
I have been doing no dead gardening for six years now when we bought our house in May 2018, I discovered very quickly that we live on a river bed so there’s nothing but pebbles and rocks no soil so yeah I like no dig. I found that everything seems to grow a lot better on no dig because you’re not killing the mycorrhiza the fungus and all the other lifeforms and stuff that’s growing in the soil every time you either Dig or just turn over your bed every year about compost to all of my beds.
My method is only plant what you are going to eat, just plant more of it and save money, your spuds are way better than mine and they went in later than mine, you are doing great.
I think that's what I am going to do. Everything we go in I eat will try the odd different thing see if we like it. I don't get how good my spuds have been looking I havnt done anything with them
I filmed a bit just a bit quieter than normal just didn't want to get them in the shot much going to have to find a time when nobody is up there. Don't think any of my neighbours watch mine yet that I know of
Wow, what was there before the alotments? There is a lot of plastic and rubble in the ground. On the bright side, in the end You will have a lot of honour from Your hard work. You make a big difference with everything You do 👍
From what I know there was a stable with one horse on there but half of what's on there you would think it was a car garage. I can't wait till it's all done and clear and I can look back on it and feel proud. Thanks
@@JacobsonFamilyAllotment From following your channel I think You already made great progress and it will only be better in the future. With how You handle it and work on Your vision, for sure Your allotment will be a beautiful oases for You and Your family
Those allotments are rubbish- literally! Shame on the council for leaving them in that state for plotholders to deal with. It makes me very angry on your behalf! Keep on keeping on! 👏👏
They are the people they got in just knocked the building down burnt the wooden stuff and looks like they buried the rest thank you I will keep plodding on
Trust me, you are very lucky that that shovel handle was not made of wood. I tried prying up a rock one time and the shovel handle broke and the handle I was holding in my hand and the sharp stick attached to it smacked me square in the middle of the forehead. Required three stitches. Did I tell you I’m absolutely loving your channel?
Wow that would of been my luck and it would have been a hospital trip for me probably think I will stick to the metal one 😂. I am glad you are enjoying the channel
A simple but effective rodent trap. 1 bucket, 1 beverage can, 1 stick or piece of rod. Put holes top and bottom of the container, offset, large enough to allow the container to swivel. 2 holes, directly opposite of each other through the top edged of the bucket to hold the rod/stick. Fill the bucket half way with water, thread the rod through one side of the bucket, then through the beverage container, then through the opposite side. Put bait on the can/container. Add some sort of ramp. Rodents go for the bait, can swivels, rodent end up in water never to go anywhere again. If your neighbours do the same thing, then the rodents should be far less. I use peanut butter as bait. Works for mice and rats.
Thanks they are just so smart how they figure things out there is a few plots with chickens on so they get drawn to there's just hopefully they leave my bean and pea seed alone. Thanks for the detailed instructions definitely screen shooting it and saving it
Lovely Northeast weather Anthony mate, ya cant beat it 🤣🤣🤣. Do you not get wood pigeons where your allotment is ? Ya spuds are looking good, Slugs munching ya marigolds and people say plant marigolds in brassica beds to deter the slugs, guess thats wrong eh😉. Its a shame that people bury stuff instead of just taking it to the local tip. But on the brighter side, you will have the satisfaction when the plot is fnished that you took your time and done things correctly, a lot of people would have just put cardboard and compost over that wheel and planted out or direct sowed into it. Shame about the slugs munching on your sunflower, someone snapped the head off one of my sunflowers, the one i am growing for our site competition, the one i have grown for yours is ok and still growing well at the minute. well done mate, Look forward to watching the next video
😂 aye the weather is lovely isn't it. There is plenty wood pigeons around the area but I haven't seen them round the plot. Proud of them spuds surprised they haven't been eaten by slugs like some people's. The marigolds have at least stopped other things getting munched and just them just have to buy the grown ones from the garden centre. I was just going to put the cardboard and the compost on but I had to make sure ground was clear for the future and lucky I did. The tips just at Blaydon too so like 10 mins away. So do you think it's sabotage them with the sunflower.
@@JacobsonFamilyAllotment Definitely sabotage Anthony, its only the sunflower for our site comp that got damaged, even my plot neighbours either side of me have had their site comp sunflowers snapped. Rats have been at my mains in tubs, looks like they have jumped up, burrowed down in the compost and ate the tubers, so now i am scouring the internet for more seed potatoes, wouldnt care but i had a good few left and gave them away, sods law eh haha
@@Jimmy.Plot.41.b that's crazy the cut throat allotment plot growing competitions. I know we have rats on the whole plot see the a couple of times last year but nothing this year yet. My friends plot had them bad. I wanted more spuds for later cropping
When it comes to drillbits, I’m a big fan of Milwaukee. I don’t know if you get that brand in the UK or not however, my dad taught me that you get what you pay for. Spend a few extra bucks on a really good drillbit and it’ll last forever.
I got this drill for free was surprised when it done this. Think I will have to invest in a better one. That would of been fun starting to dig and finding nothing but pebbles I am definitely sticking with the no dig from what I have seen things grow a lot better thans
Thanks for the watch guys honestly making this bed was a nightmare.
Remember to sub if you haven't already thanks

Bless you! What a nightmare. Your bed looks great!
It was but rather have all the rubbish out in case it effects the crops at some point. Thanks proud of it

Tire??? WTF Well I guess you could upcycle the rim for a wee bonfire pit and the tire for a flower pot? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is an idea I might keep it to remind me of the struggle 😂. I just don't get why it was that deep down that's not just been covered in time.
Looks like the last owners or owners before them have been doing rubbish removal jobs and just buried it
You would think with the amount of stuff in here it looked like a nice big empty plot we I got it surface rubbish that's it
🤣🤣🤣 are you tyred son 😉😁 good job removing it 👏
Just a bit . New gardening tools for my birthday 😉
