Everything about these videos ,are just brilliant Malcolm their way above all the tv gardening shows I've seen anyway so I thank you and your crew sharing your gardening world with us viewers.hope everything went well with eye problem ,Paul Walsh Ireland.
I get infinate pleasue walking around my own garden. The E; walks around yours give me as much pleasure but without the back breaking graft. Many thanks.... B
I have loved your videos. I am sad that I will never be able to come again to England, Scotland or Ireland again - please Malcomb & Thomas share more. At 75 I am still an avid gardener continuing🍻
Thanks Malcolm for all your hard work on the videos and the staff wonderful. Cheers from Canada great see these videos out of my grandparents area of living. Cheers Walter
Hi Malcolm. I hope you are all keeping well. Thanks to you and your team of hard working good souls for sharing all this paramount knowledge and your love for mother nature with the world. Definitely the most informative videos "hands-on" on the web regarding this exciting subject... A big "salut" from a French guy in Ireland likewise passionate by plants... Who knows maybe one day I will be lucky enough to have my own nursery... inspirational. Again Thanks. Take care. Lilian.
The edit just keeps giving more on this. Brilliant. Like walking up a hill, just before the top, peripatetically one finds it a mere ridge and the next epic summit comes into view. Great composition with the soundtrack too!
So entertaining, I am glad I stumbled upon these videos while researching how to train "step over apples". I have watched them all and enjoyed every one.
Enjoyed this so much,,so interesting about the old church and graves.I share your passion for Japanese maples could you feature some pruning of maples also some tips on good specimen trees for large containers and pruning etc.Anything on bonsai?greetings from Eire.Barry
Excellent series Malcolm! Many thanks to you, the staff, and the dogs for sharing some of the goings on around the nursery. Looking forward to the next series...and the next...and the next. Cheers! =:)
Thanks Malcolm, Thomas & all the staff. Keep up the good work, great video's, witt & humour :-) I have a well defined bottom btw, all that digging after watching your video's & tips all year haha. God bless & much respect to you all, not forgetting your retired partner for repairing The Old Church Cemetry, it's truly beautiful & magical. I love that space. And your wife is obviously a saint for putting up with you lol ;-) I'm looking forward to 2016's video's. Thanks again.
thank you for sharing all this valueble information with us!I am so happy i found your page and can't stop watching! This is the best channel i have found right next to Gardeners World! you should have your own tv program ! again Thank you Mr Malcolm -and saludos desde Chicago IL. (NOT READY FOR WINTER YET :) )
Thanks Malcom - for a great series. Most informative and entertaining - and regarding the original premise of the series "So you want to run a nursery?" .. no thanks! seems like too much hard work to me. I'll just settle on visiting from time to time. Looking forward to the next batch. Can I wish a belated Happy New Year to you and your hard working colleagues?
I love that weeping beech, I have immediately decided I want one! However from what I have read they grow to roughly 5 meters, I could do with half that. I find that most of the trees I want are large, which is just not possible in my crappy little garden. I wonder if you could show how to keep a tree small. I realise that the obvious thing is to just buy dwarf trees, but I can't find the trees I like on dwarf root stock.
I would love some videos on rose pruning. My Paul's Himalayan Musk has turned into quite a monster. If you could do a 'how to' for ramblers much appreciated. I also have a William Baffin that is quite out of control. Thank you
Thank you Peter, and for all you comments. I've had a strained relationship over the years with the BBC......I'm just not capable (or inclined) to censor my language I'm afraid......I've spent my whole life in potting sheds so it is what it is. A good media profile is something I can live without. I will leave that to those that want it....my main reason for doing videos was so that I didn't have to answer the same questions over and over.....but this series took on a life of its own and I quite enjoyed doing it in the end.....which surprised me. My staff are wanting to do another series....but I will have to think on that.....Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy your gardening for many years to come in whatever way you can. Very best wishes....Malcolm.
Happy New Year to you and your staff. thanks for the videos they are always the first viewed when I see you posted a new one. always enjoy the knowledge and wit that comes with my education...... thank again any thing you decide to make a video about would me most welcome .
Hiddy Ho from Canada! I spent most of the day watching the 'So You Want to Run a Nursery' 1-9. Absolutely love each and every video. I almost feel like I'm part of the family now. What a team. I can't remember how I found you. I was probably searching for life long gardening questions and answers. And I love the music interludes. Never heard of Wolfstone, but I'll search them out as well. I can't wait to watch more. Malcolm, just one question ... who gets the money from the swear jars ? * cackles *
Thank you for your kind comments Over the Hedge.....my wife gets the money and buys cakes for the staff...probably why some are a touch porkier than others.....we have changed the format for the new Garden Diaries series, and hope to release one every 14 days (in an ideal world)........I have a brother in Canada, Edmonton way I believe.....and had a wonderful year working there myself in 1975......fantastic country, space, freedom, and rich in natural resources.....racoons were a pain in the arse though....and I had a less than pleasant run in with a skunk in the garage.....other than that it was wonderful. Best wishes....Malcolm
Sorry Peter.....I for got to reply. Blood, fish and bone? It's probably best used as a tonic.....bonemeal will give some long term or slow release effect but really it's not a controlled release, although fine in the garden. However, osmocote is very expensive but ideal for pots, baskets, containers etc....and especially in our situation of growing nursery stock. It is also probably wasted on growing short term items like vegetable plants, though its effects are useful throughout the total growing life of the plant I suppose. There are many formulations of osmocote commercially, from a top dressing formula that sticks to the soil surface of the pot to those that release over a 12-14 month period. I like osmocote, but in the garden I would probably use blood fish and bone as a little bit of a treat, but there's no real beating conditioning your soil structure with garden compost, or a few barrow loads of well rotted shit...sorry, manure....or as they started saying in sanitised gardening books...FYM (farmyard manure)......best wishes...Malcolm
Great video again man of plants. I would love to see your technique for grafting japanese maples.Theres are a few videos on youtube of that...literally 3 I think! I am always keen to see how people do it. Plus nobody ever shows the graft taking!
No problem tree bear.......I will add it to the list....I need to film it over several months during the year....that way you can see the result and the cutting back, which is important. It also applies to many other plants....often grafting, especially amongst good grafters, of which I don't consider myself....is a lot easier than waiting for cuttings to strike....
Hello. Thank you for your kind comment.....the mix we use is made up specifically for me. While it's not a standard JI mix, it is roughly the same in that it has sterilised soil as a strengthener....what we call a buffer for some reason I've never understood....we have less peat and more bracken and pine bark as a replacement, I also have a slow release fertiliser (osmocote) to replace the old John Innes base fertiliser....and with the addition of a whetting agent and something to deter vine weevil it makes a compost I'm happy with. Multi purpose composts or really cheap composts are for us at least a false economy as we have plants long standing in them so they mustn't degrade down as rubbishy stuff does, though having said that if you just growing something short term, such as vegetable plants to plant out then fine if you must....but I also find cheap stuff waterlogs easy or dries out too quickly. I have ours screened at different coarseness for shrub, herbaceous, and ericaceous plants.......I like plenty of air at the roots of plants....it's one of my little obsessions about growing things....aeration......Anyway, I could probably have said all this in two sentances so I hope it makes some sense. Best wishes.......Malcolm
Thomas is still with me. He’s completed his diploma at Kew and is just finishing up a few work experiences at Hilliers and some other places. Hopefully he will take over from me at Eggleston and boldly go where I was unable. I’ve had some serious eye problems and surgery, so have not been able to make videos for a while. I’m hoping Thomas will in the future, a new generation is coming along nicely with their own ideas.
@@plantsmanscorner128 Wow what a clever young man! I am sure he will do you proud. You can heckle him from the sidelines when he is making a video, hehe. Sorry to hear about your eye problems, I hope you make a good recovery.

"I'm not a particularly religious person...the garden is my church" My thoughts exactly!

Hi there, love your videos !
I have a request, please can you put the name of the species of the plants written below?
Hello! Is the 1/3 rule for looks or something else? Thank you! (Love your videos❤️)

Really enjoyed this series, thanks much. The problem with raccoons is they're just too smart for the average human...haha.
thoroughly enjoyed the series. I enjoy hands on tutorials. Would using blood,fish and bone be as good as osmacote?
Sorry Peter.....I for got to reply.

That's great Malcom, thanks for answering my question so quickly, best wishes, Sarah.
Yeah, I've got a question, What is Thomas doing these days?
Thomas is still with me. He’s completed his diploma at Kew and is just finishing up a few work experiences at Hilliers and some other places. Hopefully he will take over from me at Eggleston and boldly go where I was unable. I’ve had some serious eye problems and surgery, so have not been able to make videos for a while.
