A SUBSCRIBER Needed My Help | Garden dream, turned garden NIGHTMARE

In this video, I visit a channel subscriber who contacted me and asked for my help in her garden. Due to a nasty back injury, she was unable to do anything in her garden for just over a year. Which had turned her dreamy garden into an overgrown and unusable (by her grandchildren) garden nightmare.
I saw how the garden used to look, after she sent me some old pictures. My goal is to get it looking back to how it used to be.
It was a fair drive away from where I live, so unfortunately I had limited time to try and whip this garden back into some sort of shape. Lets see how I get on.

@martinthegardenguy 24 дня назад

It was a total pleasure to help out 👍 you've made a really beautiful garden. And I'll happily get it back to awesome again 😊😁

I love your channel - you're a true gardener (rather than a lawn cutter). Your work is always thorough & meticulous and the result is wonderful. I'm sure it's a tremendous relief to the homeowner to have her garden back instead of seeing it disheveled and being unable to rectify that. Karma works both ways - by blessing others, the blessings are doubled in return.

@lauralake7430 23 дня назад

I have had very good luck replacing the rechargeable batteries in solar lights with new rechargeable batteries ! Theres usually a littlte hatch somewhere you can get at with a tiny phillips head screwdriver. I replaced one at a time with a new battery, if it diddnt revive, i swspped the new battery into the next one. Over 75% of my moms dead lights sprang back into life after a day in the sunvwith a new battery. ( i went one by onecbecause i didnt want to buy a lot of rechargable batteries at high cost if it wasnt going to work out. I just bought a few at a time)

@martinthegardenguy 23 дня назад

Poor lady, unable to tend to the garden she loved and watching it revert to a field (paddock!). A great start, and once the fences are back up . . . By the way, check the ones still standing too, some of them looked pretty wobbly in that breeze. What did the red ants do to you?

@martinthegardenguy 24 дня назад

They nibbled my lega 😂 I think I was standing on one of their nests, and they crawled up my leg 😅 I can't blame them, though. I did wrecking ball there garden. I'll hopefully get the fence sorted, your right, there were some very wobbly ones. It's what happens when a neighbor decides to use them as a retaining wall 😡

@catherinefromchristchurchn6508 24 дня назад

If there are any fence related costs on the retaining side, you should advise said neighbour of total and half and suggest they pay half. Choices, consequences. Here that actually has its own Act. Not sure about there. Leave the ants alone in future (as much as possible). 😊

@martinthegardenguy 24 дня назад

I picked up one or two, the ones I left were screwed to large wooden pallets and wrapped up in thick wire from the very old wire fence. I didn't have any kit to cut them, so I left them alone until I did. They would have disinterested if I'd have tried to force them off the ground. Valid question though 😊😅
