EMMA'S ALLOTMENT DIARIES // JANUARY 2020 PLOT TOUR 

Rewatching these older vlogs, and so funny how you talk about the weird lady watering cardboard in a raised bed, and in your most recent video, you had tuned into the lady laying cardboard on your raised beds and then watering it 😂💚

Just rediscovered this video and laughing at your confusion over the watering cardboard! It was you who taught me to do that and I’m about to try it for the first time this autumn! Love seeing your progress! 😍

I hope you enjoyed my vlog! Sorry about yelling at the birds so much! I would love for you to SUBSCRIBE to my channel for lots more allotment updates :) Hope all is well on your plots if you have one, and if you don't... get one! Haha! xx

This one is so funny love it. Ive just started my new allotment and its fully overgrown with bramble and the weed you were talking about i have my work cut out but it will be worth it. Thank you for being so inspiring ❤

Fighting with long weeds, Daves protein bites [or should I say mince bites😆] and the interrupting crows really cheered me up, just the tonic I needed, loved it xx

Just found your vlog Emma. Enjoyed watching it and laughed along with you! Just for interest, the cheapie polytunnels are called “blow-always” in the trade, so make sure you anchor it well! Like the toilet roll idea - I think ladies on an allotment should invest in a Shewee! I put a shed on my plot last summer and put a frontier stove in it - keep the stove burning whilst on the plot, kettle on the stove - perfect for a winter warm up! Liked and subbed! All the best, Martin.

Yes we all do it at Ares it stop the weeds and feeds the ground and worms love it try it some time good luck

brilliant looking forward to your 2022 allotment adventures ! So entertaining to watch you be yourself don’t change the format 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

she is using to prevent weed growth and watering them make carboard box heavy so they don't fly and decompose quicker

Cardboard blocks light. No light no weeds. Water makes cardboard heavy. Heavy cardboard wont fly away when the wind blows. Also cardboard will feed the worms overtime :)

Watching you is such a great start to my day. I'm a new subbie so I'm watching from the beginning. LOVING THIS CHANNEL ❤

Yes thats what u do it stop weeds and eventually breaks down into compost. Its best to put leaves weeds branches broken / cut up also straw that's about a year old if u can get it at the bottom of raised beds ontop of the wet cardboard then top soil and compost

"there's a woman watering cardboard how weird"... fast forward to you now using cardboard lol

You made me curious... So i googled cardboard and gardens and some ppl use it to smother and kill weeds

Thanks Emma 😊 love your plot and looking forward to the shed and polytunnel xx

Putting card board then watering it, then covering in compost is for no dig method of gardening

It’s very chilly looking! You foremget in the winter!

Hi Emma, I have just found your channel. I am really enjoying it. I am also a novice when it comes to gardening. We got our allotment last April and we did give it a go last growing season but we a 1yo it wasn't easy or possible to get there on regular basis..nevertheless it is a great experience. Google no dig method. The cardboard is to clear a growing area of weeds and she is watering it to keep the cardboard in place. I'm trying it in our plot this growing season. :)

I’m a newbie to your channel, and so bloody much looking forward to you, working the shit out of this plot to get as much f@#king veg as you can. Mate I love your style. Good luck with growing season ahead. Mine is just finishing here in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

another great video Emma, lots of laughs as always, every little bit you do is achieving your goal so keep it up I am looking forward to seeing those Tulips :)

We goo on a allotment last August still in the process of getting it ready for planting this spring. We're trying the no dig method you should look it up .see Charles Dowding on you tube. Well Worth a visit. Looks like you're allotment is partly geared up already all the best X Mandy x

Can’t wait to see what it will look like come summer.

Watch “what vivi does next “ she does cardboard. It helps to cover and insulate the soil. It’s a type of mulch that can help with weed suppression.

Some people use no dig method ….., this often involved putting down cardboard , then wetting it . Then the growing medium is put on top , ..say , compost/manure / soil ,or combination . It reduces amount of weeding needed in future , and means soil ecosystem is nt disturbed , like it is with digging.

£40 for a polytunnel ? Wow.. that is GOOD !

Love your passion.........Emma have you a garden at home?....your last house you done gr8 with your garden........xxxxx

....Emma; you are completely BONKERS, but we do love your vlogs! :)

Look up Charles Dowding - no dig 👍🏼😊 easiest and most productive way of gardening EVER!!!
