Hello, I just wanted to mention, stinging nettle and dandelion are not just weeds. Both have a lot to offer, you can eat them, make a substitude coffee from the dandelion roots, rope from the stinging nettle, and both have medicinal use. Not saying you should leave them in your garden, though it is sad that so many people think it is useless weeds. Most you find has a great use for something. Much love, and thank you for the tips! Some will come in very useful!

Of course, people should be discouraged from touching slugs because they can carry rat lungworm, a dangerous parasite.

@joylondon4179 4 года назад

After watching this video I’ve just purchased both of your books from Amazon! Super excited they will arrive tomorrow, Thanks for your tricks and inspiration! 😊 and I’m going to see what other videos you’ve done. 😊

@horticultureherbalist7442 4 года назад

Why dont you use the dandelion and nettle? They are so nutritious!!!

@compiticny1445 3 года назад

Dad would have me collect the plastic milk jugs that had screw-on caps. In the summer we/I would poke a number of small holes in the bottom of the jug, fill them with water, recap them, and put them around the tomatoes. When the sun warmed the water it would push it out watering the tomatoes.

@conniecasale3593 2 года назад

That’s a great Italian way. We did that growing up. I would help my MOM. SHE WAS A GREAT 👍 GARDENER 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰

@fallmax Год назад

Hi I’m new to gardening So I’m not familiar with a lot of things for instance I don’t really understand if you poke holes in those milk cartons will all the water drain out at once…

@colonagray2454 Год назад

Small holes wont let it all come out at once, especially with the lid on. You can see this yourself if you take a ziplock bag with water in it and poke it with a pin or something small. When you open the top the water will come out much faster. Water also sticks to itself so since it sitting in the soil it slowly comes out unless the soil is bone dry of course

@alexanderpirpiris3810 Год назад

@@fallmax think of it like picking up water with a straw by dunking it in and putting your finger on the other end, the airlock holds the water up, and when you let the air in (unscrew the cap in the case of the milk bottles) the water will run out.

Coffee is good for keeping away 4 leg critters away as they don’t like the smell of it...tea bags are ecxerlent for all traces back into the ground.Use banana ,skin to sun dry for 2 days and grind makes Nokia,the flesh good for putting little cuttings into makes the roots its cheaper than buying root starters paste than any where on the market.....Wishing every one good luck all you gardeners all the best

@cdoane1110 3 года назад

I've used the bottle water next to the plant to maintain heat many times. Rather than painting the bottle black, I've just thrown some cheap black tea in it. Very effective.

@paulamendes5907 Год назад

Great idea! I guess adding some used coffee grounds will work too

@kategalbraith327 2 года назад

Bought both your books after viewing your videos during Lockdown Melbourne last year. One year on, still in lockdown!! Have managed to build a vegetable garden, seed raising & propagations for plantings. Even built a grow house not to mention the compost bins. Your inspiration has been so inspiring and appreciated especially in this very different world.

@HuwRichards 2 года назад

Wow Kate that's so amazing thank you so much for that and sou is like you've got a lovely garden setup now so at least something positive has come from lockdown😊 Best of luck with the rest of your gardening!

@jackstone4291 Год назад

Nice one Kate !

@christianehawkshaw6061 3 года назад

Great Hacks. Thank you. I put all my nettles, comfrey and dandelion tops into a net bag (usually used to keep smalls together in a washing machine, and available cheap at the Poundshop). Then I suspend these bags in my water butts, and it gives me automatic fertilized water. After the season, it's just slimy stuff that is safe to put into the compost without worry it might spring into flowers again.

Hi Huw, I’m a New England gardener. Nine months of winter, for the most part. You think spring is here, then bam, snowstorm April 1. Oct. is also dodgy for snow. My brother in Sheffield turned me onto “Gardeners’ World,” which led me on a search. I found your channel. You’re very good, and I like that you recognize your references fairly. Everything you convey is practical and do-able. Thank you.

@mg8642 4 года назад

That pallet tool storage works really well. I put two inside my garage, one bolted to the wall and the second bolted to the first, so it's double depth storage. Very practical.

@mikeharrington5593 3 года назад

Thanks Huw, very useful. Kale flower heads (picked before flowers open) are very tasty (like broccoli) & are a great pick and come again bonus which extends the plant's productivity. I also found to my pleasant surprise the following from a curly kale plant which was virtually naked & I was allowing to go to seed. - After carelessly allowing its stalk to be pushed down horizontally (on a raised bed) for several weeks - it then entered a new lease of life by throwing up lots more vertical tender sprouting shoots for harvesting/eating !

@christineferrario1700 2 года назад

Aha! Similar to what we do with tomatoes? Laying essentially horizontally into the bed?

Wow. I have to say these are really worthy tips, that only a truly experienced and thoughtful gardener could know. Thank you so much. I started a community garden a year ago, and had minimal experience prior. The garden is now 200 square meters with option to expand to 500 sq m as I get more helpers. Several of the tips here will help me get my seed starter schedule dialed in, delay bolting, and improve compost production.

@juliahamilton2 4 года назад

Huw, thanks for talking about ‘dirty compost’. I often debated about what to do with yard waste and weeds instead of throwing them out or hauling them to the local landfill (I live in the US), so now I’m experimenting with putting it in a bin that can sit for a couple years before using it in planting holes.

@Section_230 Год назад

Just get a compost bin or make one that can bring the compost Above thr necessary heat index to sanitize the compost while killing unwanted seeds and bugs.

@rabidavid614 4 года назад

Huw, glad to see you have suggested one tip for recycling milk cartons. Last month I noticed that my garden had shards of the plastic labels around the garden following strong winds. I've noticed before that the plastic if milk cartons remain flexible for far longer, so have started to replace the labels on my much love plants, with strips of the milk cartons - it's so easy to create these labels, by using a shop bought label as a guide, I can cut the bottle into a strips, cutting 2 v shaped notches and an key hole the width of the plastic between the 2 V's. I use a permanent marker to write onto the label. Now no broken shards of plastic to collect from the garden!!

@przybyla420 2 года назад

I’ve found the UV erases the permanent marker, been meaning to buy a UV resistant one but in the meantime I put the writing facing north so the sun never shines on it. It’s still not good enough to go a whole year.

Popsicle sticks work great you get a hundred for a dollar. Just turn them shade side and it lasts forever

@rebamenosky6039 2 года назад

@@loraholifield8782 I’ve done pop cycle sticks. By the end of the season they where 1/2 way to being compost themselves. Maybe if you take them out when the plants get a little bigger they would last.

@markhedger6378 2 года назад

Also 5ltr bleach container plastic bottles , this white plastic is flexible but thicker and cut into strips makes great labels uv resistant and can be used with uv resistant sharpie pen

@jimanast3593 3 года назад

@@khzvaleriesmith6428 YES! Using walls! I've seen a documentary series about life in the Victorian Era, and it was said that in gardening, when they wanted to plant a heat demanding plant, they were planting it to the garden's north wall (who's side was facing the South), for extra sun and heat, and plants that don't demand much sun and heat, to the south wall (because it's side was facing North).

For that milk carton scoop, if you rethink it you can make a basket to collect berries if you cut an opening in front of the handle, keeping the handle intact to thread belt, twine, ect through to tie around your waist. Larger cartons work best.
