Until I started watching your videos I never thought of growing our own garden! I learned so much and i really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with everyone! Ty. I noticed I am not so stressed and I find myself going out and just watching the plants, a lot I’ve grown from our food. Everyone can do it no matter where they live.
@@SpicyMoustache you are having a huge impact on the younger generation, my little kids LOVE all your videos and shorts and because of you we are getting close to having zero waste from plants making our own Celery salt and all sorts PLUS now they all like gardening with me because they know things about gardening from YOU!
I love how you play the Birds Eye view (like 2:37) when you walk from place to place in the garden. It really helps me visualize where you are in the garden and the size of the space.
I'm farmer and only planting potatoes Im using chicken manure in fall and result is mind blowing Love your content by the way sorry for bad english I'm iranian
Your videos have inspired me to make the most out of my small garden this year. Just ordered the book but so far I've planted 17 different vegetables, herbs and beneficial flowers to try and maximise the space. Took my daughter out last week to *hopefully* gather our first IMO1. Keep doing what you're doing man...massive inspiration and you make it so accessible. Thank you Alessandro!
I just started watching you yesterday from shorts. Went to sleep with your video playing background and woke up with this notification. Great work. Keep it up. Your own show is coming if its not here yet. As Mr Burns would say,"Eeeexcellent!"
This tip about planting the runners in a little soil sac is a game changer. I could not figure out what to do with my runners this year b/c my strawberries are in hanging baskets. Genius, thank you!
My mom just got back into gardening in her almost 200 sq ft garden, we just cleaned it up after a decade of sitting. Got new soil and compost. Using your videos to learn to help my mother with the garden. Much love mr . Spicy Mustache.
My book arrived thank you best most imformative book I ever bought most I bought from other youtube gardeners are full of nice whole page pictures few quirky notes not much info your book FULL OF INFO USEFUL INTO thank you !!!
Love your videos dude! I've just set up my first raised bed so all this is new to me, its brilliant how you go into detail to explain everything, i'd love to see some more videos on how to harvest and how to store food long term if you can (for beginners ) 👍
What an epic summary of the essential crops! If people wanted to get started woth growinf their own food and could only watch one video this would be the one.
Great video! What I will say about strawberries is that the hanging baskets don't eliminate all pests, they will still get targeted by blackbirds, mine got decimated this year. Some netting may be a wise investment (and a time machine to tell your past self to get some netting!).
I‘m so glad I found your channel! I‘m doing a little bit of balcony farming with raised beds as well. But with all the informations you‘re giving us, I will definitely step up my gardening game! Thank you and many greetings from Germany!
Need to start a hardcore called 'Harvester of Tomorrow' with metallic riffs with songs about mulching, sunlight hours and bedding plants. First EP called '... and spinach for all'.
@@SpicyMoustache Iam a big fan of yours and I love Italy a lot. I belong to Kerala (Gods own country), India. Would like to get your number via Email. Tattoos are awesome and no waste is the highlight in your life 👍🙏
This is great! Love the walk to the Allotment in the beginning too - so cool! And super helpful tips on the potatoes man! It looked hot AF outside when you filmed this. Working on your tan :). Well done amigo!
Lots of sun, water and nitrogen rich fertilizer! If you're not squeamish you can water with diluted pee, its free, locally produced and has a ton of nitrogen in it. Just water on the soil and not the plant itself 😅
There's something about seeing a heavily tatted guy with such a positive attitude being the right thing to get you feeling comfortable with what you can do in the garden as a beginner.
@anupraj4313 I live in Texas and we grow it here, there are two types..red Malabar (basella rubra) and green Malabar (basella alba)..it has a few common names: Malabar spinach, Ceylon spinach, Indian spinach, as well as vine spinach
Hi! Is there a way to know visually with tomatoes if they Determinante or Indeterminate Variety? I live in a foreign country, get my little shoots in market with very little info from who sells them. Your channel is brilliant. Love your accent 😊 and everything about you. Thanks so much for all you share. Gonna give it a shot, growing food again, as I've been uselessness till date but all is about to change 😅 🙏🏼 Can't find any video of yours on my obsession... CORRIANDER 😬 Do you have any????? 😬😬😬🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
There really isn't a way to tell which growth habit a seedling is without knowing the variety name. I prefer indeterminate for a longer harvest. Both kinds will need some support.
@@virginiadaneke2362 Some countries just aren't as "organized label wise" as others, the locals just grow food from childhood experience and don't know how to explain much, it's all just natural to them, no thought needed or names or all the other stuff someone whose never grown food in their life needs to learn and try understand in order to get something out of all the work. I'm in one of those countries, everyone just knows and they find it funny some people don't know this stuff. I agree with them! Proper EDUCATION is what they got! I know a bunch of useless things that don't really help me practically on a daily basis. The question was because Allesandro said only one kind needs pruning really so I was trying to figure out how to know with no names....I guess just let it grow and if it don't stop, I'll know what I got or vice versa. Thanks anyway
Miar600, I took my favorite tiny tomato, squished seeds over a paper towel. Let dry. Cut bits of towel to plant year 2. It's new name is "Best Small Tomato", lol.
Thank you sooo much for such helpful meterial but i want to ask if any one can help me with the point of clowning the strawberries i hadn't really understood which part of the plant should i take
I have been recommended to never grow tomatoes and potatoes in the same garden at the same time because of potato blight. If the disease transfer from your potatoes to your tomato plants, you might have pretty much your whole tomato harvest compromised. So be careful! Growing in containers like in this video probably helps, also to have the tomatoes in a greenhouse.
My family says I hv a green thumb, I love gardening and hv many house plants but....I CANT GROW A ZUCCHINI OR SUMMER SQUASH to save my life!!! I can grow orchids...but not the " easiest" plant....i only get male flowers all year and not a single fruit....im glad he showed i could manually do it......but really, why is this nessesary?!! I see bees around, my other plants grow.....why cant I get these?!! Its so rediculous....I LOVE them and Id LOVE to see a little baby growing....😞
You are so lucky to not have critters to eat all your crops. I have everything eating my plants. No rest from critters. Nothing prevents them getting to the fruit. Some animals eat the green fruit while others prefer the riper fruit. I could not plant anything out in the open. All must be inside wire netting full enclosure if I want vegies for myself. I am just about sick of it actually. There is no rest from the critters.
@@persikosaftthe magpies have been such a pain with the strawberries! Next year I’m going to try the stone hack (painting pebbles red). I haven’t had any slug problems (despite the garden being full of slugs) since I put copper tape around the top of all my raised beds. I have problems with aphids or other insects on my brassicas though (although so far, I’m still getting some harvests).
