    These garden covers are gorgeous! You could set up a business in making them. If you're ever in Melbourne, I'll pay you to make some for me! You've also inspired me to learn how to start making things like this. Loved this video.

      Thanks so much Christie! I have thought about making them to sell as they are so good for protecting the veggies! If I ever do I’ll let you know! So glad to hear you are inspired to start making things for yourself! It’s such a sense of achievement once it’s completed! Thanks for watching! 🙂

    Bringing the country to the city. Brilliant. It needs passion, creativity, hard work & the pioneering spirit. The result is worthwhile & the joy that comes with it is invaluable! The satisfaction that comes with the joy is something money cannot buy. Furthermore, it keeps both of you young & be grateful & thankful both of you share the same passion.

    I so enjoyed watching your video. You've reinspired me. I live about an hour north of you and the possum pain is real. They took my whole crop in 2 nights earlier this year and I gave up. Some sturdy covers might be the answer for me.... Thank you.

      Thanks so much! I know what it’s like when possums and pests destroy all the hard work you’ve done growing fruit and vege. I’ve said I’m giving up so many times! But I love it so much j I can’t help myself so I had to figure out a way to beat those little brats! The covers are a game changer!! 🙂🥬🥕🥦🥒🌽🍅

    I love your garden and have just subscribed to keep watching it grow. I’m on the Gold Coast so dealing with the exact same conditions as far as heat and critters. I started my garden in 2020 with just 1 bed made by using some tin found on our block and I was hooked! I now have over 30 beds, most of which have come very cheaply from gumtree and marketplace. This was a great video! All the best 😊

    Fantastic journal of what you have done together. The garden beds look great and I like the tops you have put on them to protect from the possums and other critters. I might have to follow your example for the tops. Is it flyscreen or insect mesh you put over your cover frames? It always makes you feel good when your homegrown veggies are thriving epecially in Spring/summer here in Victoria.

    • @risslittleveggiepatch
      @risslittleveggiepatch  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Yes the tops have fly screen on them. It works really well. We got a 10 metre roll off eBay for $30. It’s really durable! It’s definitely a good time of year to be growing! 🙂
