With great plans comes great responsibility, and a great deal of work apparently. I cannot even start to imagine how much work the rest of the garden will be if I want to turn a big part of the land into a vegetable garden.

My name is Sam and together with my girlfriend Lyanne, I am on a quest to restore the beauty of this old Italian villa from 1895. Join us as we have to let go of our Dutch habits to fit in in our Italian surroundings, were the word 'plan' gets redefined and our tastebuds are awakened.
The goal of this project is to show that with limited financial means and a lot of optimism we can resurrect the beauty of this abandoned villa in a green and sustainable way. But most of all learn from everything that we encounter and enjoy it whilst we're at it.

All the bricks and gravel is most likely the original driveway and parking area which makes more sense.. to drive up to the house and unload rather than draging everything and all building materials that will be needed and have the veggie garden around the perimeter or somewhere else..

@SusanZiegler 3 месяца назад

I think all those bramble roots sticking out along the edge of your new beds are going to find a lovely home in your new soil and you will have a weeding nightmare. Use some of those concrete dividers along those outer edges (near the wall with brambles) to keep as many roots out as possible.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

good point, and I will definitely do so, well spotted

@elaineayres1989 14 дней назад

Just a thought/tip for the potatoes You can have them grow in a container, a box / tyres/plastic buckets etc in general anything you’ve found already in the “jungle”. This also will keep them from overtaking the other plants around them. I’m Australian and a lot of my neighbours are Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai and so forth. Every inch is planted and when they run out of space the larger plants like pumpkin, potatoes, rockmelon etc are contained in tubs . I’ve done it myself and it’s successful. Potato are also good for breaking up your hard ground. My father planted potatoes in our back garden . After harvesting he planted a lawn.

Even een tip Pak zaailingen nooit bij de steel maar bij het blad dat groeit weer een steel knijp je snel kapot. Fruit struiken doen het goed bij een warme muur. Een pot met grote gaten kan je met wat scherven afdekken zodat er wat ruimte over blijft voor overtollig water. Gravel is een goede water afvoer zodat de wortels niet in het water blijven staan vooral omdat je kleigrond heb eronder. Succes

Hello, I found your channel just a few weeks ago and am almost caught up on your videos! You two, your families, and friends work together so well; it's very nice to see! Also, knowing the videos are a LOT of work too, they are very much appreciated 😊 I agree with other commenters on this video, that the area with the gravel is certainly an old parking area. I'll be interested to see historical photographs, when you are ready to share them, and to see the evolution of the site and its driveways, when the canal was built, and the additions to the villa! Thank you again! -Jo

glad to hear that, welcome Jo! thanks a lot :). will share once I have some of that info. again, glad to have you on the team.

@dingc.velasco6038 3 месяца назад

Hadn't you considered renting a small digger/dozer so you could triple the amount of work you wanted done to loosen the soil for the garden, or finally deal with those brambles all over your fence, once and for all?

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

couldn't get that done in such a short timeframe. But yes I am considering it. However, most likely I will continue like this

@debpate9405 3 месяца назад

I hope your garden get rain while your gone. If you have logs, branches, twigs leafs old or new, you can place in garden bed first and as they decompose it will feed the plants. Cuts down on soil costs. Safe travels!

@iu.5146 3 месяца назад

To brake down the clay, amend your soil with gypsum and earthworm castings. It works very well. If you get a lot of leaves in Fall, dig them under. Make sure they are not acidic leaves. By next year you should find lots of worms on your soil. Look for gypsum at a feed store. It’s usually a lot cheaper. Here in the US it’s $10 for a 20 pound bag.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

good tip, thanks!! will try to see if I can do that

@shirleygraham6229 3 месяца назад

I am surprised at the amount of everything you are planting or intend to plant (food that is). For two of you it seems extreme. Will you really eat that much? No matter of course, if you are happy to do the work, good on you. My grandparents, who were great gardeners, always planted potatoes in raised bed rows. I have heard since they like drainage. Make Do Grow vlog have a great garden and have specific episodes about it. Those plastic bags may be very handy for rubbish, rubble or anything unwanted. Best wishes.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

it is most likely wayyy too much, but I like to learn and see what happens, it will never go to waste anyways. I can try to conserve, give away, let some go to seed and give back to the birds and insects. Good thinking on the plastic bags, was thinking the same :)

@donaldauguston9740 3 месяца назад

I might recommend that when you transplant, pull by the leaves and NOT the stems. Also, you may want to consider a no dig garden in a raised bed. You've done a great job digging down, now fill it will leaves, grass, and compost a full foot above the ground level. That will make your future plants VERY happy and be much easier to harvest - especially those things that fruit underground like potatoes, onions, carrots, etc. Good luck, DA

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

thanks a lot! will make raised beds next year, so the plants will have the depth they need to grow.

@Alessandro-pi7bw 3 месяца назад

Potresti affittare un mini escavatore..anche solo x un giorno..farebbe la differenza..gran bel lavoro!👍

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

yeah I could, but this way I get to know the soil I am working with. Also I want to keep some things in and get some things out, this would be difficult with the excavator. So the manual way is slow, but does it properly, in a way.

@nancypyanoe3347 3 месяца назад

Hello, l'idéal pour un potager c'est de faire des plantation sur 1,20 m de large plus facile pour travailler de chaque côté. Je trouve que la terre que tu as enlevée est bonne à mélanger avec le compost, soit pour les potées. A bientôt 🍊🍒🍅

You can make labels for the beds out of yoghurt containers cut into strips. Good idea to draw up a plan while you still remember what you wanted in each row then pop the labels in later as otherwise you won’t know what’s coming up when they start to shoot up.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

good one, I saved a ton of yoghurt containers just for this purpose! However, I think I will take the time to make aluminium ones, to start right from the get go.

@ackermankellylee 3 месяца назад

The concrete boarders are BEAUTIFUL! 😍💖Treasure!!! I have never grown potatoes or onions before looking forward to see how these grow😃😃😃my grandmother planted garlic everywhere if there was a spot of dirt it had a garlic clove in it 😁she said it helped to keep bugs off her roses too🌹🌹🌹she would plant peppermit plants around the border of her house including doors and windows said spiders and mice hate mint...idk about Italy but here in the states many of the local nurseries sell dirt /top soil/compost soil etc by the yard or truck and will deliver ....its cheaper than buying the bags....but idk if they do that in Italy? The only advice i have is Never Never plant Bamboo it will invade, take over and destroy your property ...you will Never get rid of it

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the tips! most of the time, what older people say they did, has been tested and proven and works well. So I will keep it in mind! surprisingly enough, I couldn't find it any cheaper. I am also used to the same principle in the Netherlands, but found it's quite different here. (Or I haven't found the right place yet) I think I spotted bamboo somewhere on the property already, so let's see how big that has gotten over the years haha. Thanks again!

@brookestephen 3 месяца назад

Garden gloves will keep your hands a bit cleaner, and save your hands from stuff in the soil like sharp wood, shards of pottery, small pieces of metal & broken glass!

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

I always forget, but with all that glass around, might be a good idea to start wearing them. thanks for your concern!

@heatherlaird-mcleod3271 3 месяца назад

Have a look at the "no dig" method of preparing your garden beds. Also,when opening bags of pretreated soil, you may like to consider wearing a mask. I know several people who became very sick from breathing in the sphores that grew in the bags from being enclosed for long periods. Love your enthusiasm and vision for your future garden. Also, there are 2 types of comquats, edible and ornamental.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

I did, looks promising, will probably go that route, thanks! good point, makes sense, didn't think about it! Interesting, I hopefully bought the right kind, I will check. Thanks a lot!!

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

True true, but it's the gravel that I am taking out. That's what you're seeing. thanks!

@lorassorkin 3 месяца назад

If you need to get things in soil quickly, lay a sealed bag of soil down, cut a rectangle of the top plastic off, and plant right in the bag. Many types of plants can start out like that, or even stay like that for the season (lettuce, strawberries, etc.). In your case, you can put them in the ground when you get back.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

good one, could've done that as well. next time ;)

@karenmetcalf-pugh5 3 месяца назад

You're on the right track. Just get those little darlings transplanted as soon as you can and make sure to space them far enough to grow to maturity. I'd suggest using a root hormone or root stimulator with the next move. I assume you'll be placing the trees and bushes in a location they will remain permanently. All of those plants are your gold bars. Have fun at home.

@Villa_Oliva 3 месяца назад

@erikapeterson3484 3 месяца назад

To make curved forms You can use several times you might try 4mm plywood. Seal it against the moisture of course, cut longways it will be quite flexible. Even for these small forms and especially creating curves, I recommend using steel mesh to reinforce.
