NO DIG ALLOTMENT GARDENING / OCTOBER 2021 / EMMA'S ALLOTMENT DIARIES 

Come on everyone thumbs this up for Emma. To get this channel cracking out there so Emma can get a new fork at least ☺️ go on Emma you are a gem xx

Stick at it Emma! Eventually it will all come to fruition!! Do you watch the “Charles Dowding” You tube videos? This guy is top notch when it comes to “No Dig” he’s been using this method for years and he also does it as a business! Plus he writes books and give lectures on this subject! Just a thought to help you on your way Emma! Good luck, 👍

Emma wow just wow!!! That fence is fantastic and your plot is looking so, so well. Everytime I watch a video of yours I get so inspired to get out there and do the thing!!! Thank you Emma for taking time to make this video and share it with us xx

We experienced genuine fear when watching you use the mini chainsaw. Great job Emma.The fence looks great

Love this video! I also do no dog and it’s fantastic! Just a little reminder though, to remove all cello tape from the cardboard as it isn’t biodegradable and once the beds are mulched to cover them up, so the light doesn’t get in 🙌🏼 keep up that amazing work x

Beautiful! Nothing better than a fresh bed xxx

This is brilliant, fearless and an "i will try" attitude, keep the hard work 👌💯

Hi Emma well done with the fence, you made my day when you broke the fork 😂😂 , think you need some more bottles to to over the end of your vegetable stacks look like you where quite close to one ( be careful ) what a good idea using cardboard and putting compost on top , have to try that ( good tip ) the two beds look great well done 👍 take care be safe 🍓🍓

great plan Emma! Nice new tools too! that was a lovely gift. your idea of filming as you can and tacking it together is also great. the sweet thing about your little fence is, it will kerp all kinds of flowers, border plants tidy and looking great! ❤️❤️❤️

Well done on the fence and beds and strimming. I envy you having an allotment, I am too old to manage one now, but you motivate me to work on my garden veggie patch which I love.

Emma bless your cotton socks sweetheart , I would install out door cctv recording device & put up signs 🪧stay out cctv recording in progress ( makes a great deterrent ) , well done with the fence Emma this helps with people being able to see your plot layout ( n hopefully not to cross over from the path behind your shed ) Also I would like to add … look how far you have came as I have been with you from just before you built the shed best wishes Emma .

Nothing more satisfying than freshly mulched beds!!!!

Good job Emma,know what you mean about new raised beds ready to be planted...yes they do look very good 👍 bloody cheek people stealing other people's stuff.l would stay in my shed and catch them out 😆🤣 The table you brought to your allotment looks far to good to be left out,l would put it in your shed,somewhere you can have a nice quiet cuppa and a 📚 All the very best sweetie 🌱🌱🌱💕

Congrats on your silver award Emma congratulations 🌹🌹🌹👍 keep up your hard work.

Life is a learning curve, enjoy the journey

Goodness what a grafter you are! Impressed with your fence. Looks good

Well done on making your own fence it’s given me an idea try and do a fence around my allotment. Enjoyed watching this video.

Your plot looks wonderful for Autumn, A weekly Vlog sounds great and anything you film is either funny or informative and not boring. The Fence looks good enough, Cheap and Cheerful, Please don’t take a fence. Farmers have rested their plots for thousands of years, Leaving it fallow to give the soil a rest . Five Star Tools like what you do and have made an worthwhile investment in you and I can see you are grateful. That Chainsaw would be good for getting branches for Beans next year, The Broken fork handle will make a great dibber for putting in bulbs and seedlings.

When you can I would double the height of the fence to really deter people, but great job so far! I think I need to borrow your staple gun on my DIY greenhouse!

Wonderful video Emma, watching you relieves my stress and anxiety 🙏👍just wanted to mention from my own experience tried to avoid the temptation of putting your poly up to early, I would hate to see late winter storms destroy your hard work and enthusiasm. Looking forward to your next video 😄

I used this method this year pumpkins no weeds cardboard recycled all good.

I've got a 3ft fence, too easy to step over, like you things disappear, so next year I'm going for a 4ft fence, and if that should fail I may have to rig it up to some electric fencing :)

Slab down the middle and get racking you can attach to the tunnel frame,lots of area to grow and use the height of the shelves

Fencing looks fab👌😎xx

Hiya Emma Thankyou for sharing your doing a fab job great ideas well done girly! Blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada 🐝

get some leaves and organic matter on top of the compost...leaves are free too ........also try opening the compost bags at top enabling re-use (collecting leaves etc)

Also forgot emma to mention if you leave them new beds with fresh compost exposed the foxs and cats will poop and dig them up put more card onto of the fresh compost.

Well done Emma ! Looking great!

Hi emma great video all looking good comming together nicely you have worked hard good idea what you doing with your plot xx

well done lovely. lots of progress

brilliant emma , stay fantastic

Great idea to build a fence Emma and the portable chain saw is probably safer than a full sized one because of the weight of the full size chain saw there prone to kick back and fatal accidents are more likely to happen so I would use the portable one but not a full size one.

its a great idea to no dig lve tryed it myself it does work and l have a ploy tunnel too ,we had to put up stock fencing when got our allotment 17 years ago ,your doing really well xx

Loved the video ,you could plant some bare rooted hedging inside your fence native ones hawthorn etc good for wildlife

Love it when you say ‘bloody’!😂

This new method was great. Make it easy for yourself…..like your plans.

Great job Emma

Well done Emma

Keep going your lady, good luck enjoy the fruits of your work. From an old codger. By the way you could have planted onions and garlic in your new beds

All good fun

I love this video..im.going to do this on my plot😁😁😁😁

Re the broken forklet handle - congratulations! You've just got yourself a long handled dibber! 😎. Just tidy up the wood at the broken end to try and "round it off" if you see what I mean, then Bob's your mother's brother! 😃

Well done emma, the beds look really good.

Hi Emma ...your getting really handy with the tools now ..I remember you putting together your first bed and now look at your fence you must be well chuffed ..when I lay cardboard down to get rid of weeds I'll cover it with tarpoulin ' opened compost bags or anything to hand to help keep more light out ..it also creates more of a habitat for worms..p.s .the old handle of your 2 pronged fork would now make a good dibber

Well done Emma, first time time I’ve seen your video. I have an allotments also, love it, hard work, but keeps me sane x ( mostly)

Emma you mentioned about your brussels if your not already stake them because we start to get some strong winds they could snap. Grest vid as always take care.

Great video! You have worked hard! The beds look lovely. Are you growing anything for Autum like onion sets or garlic? Take care x

Your doing amazing. Your a joy to watch because you are just a regular person, no frills, no faff and no fakery. Thank you for just being you and showing what can be achieved when you just keep moving forward xx

If you had just cut the top off of the compost bag u could have used them to grow spuds in.

Sadly the fence won’t keep people out because thieves are A holes and will just walk over it or step on it. But it may help keep foxes and cats out. But good luck hope everything goes well. Thank you for sharing ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe

🧡

This is the way I went

Looking good Emma should stop the bloody dwarf's getting in x lol x

Super👍👍

Also I will add its probably better for your channel and the algerythum etc if you have a set upload day/time I no that's not what your about but I think it will help you long term

Seeing you with an electric saw gave me palpitations 😂

great video, impressed with that saw, I would need that for my allottment. Any advice on this group how to make a strong fence on my allottment, I have in the past few years a pervert writing threatening stuff on my fence, I have a new garden but feel unsafe, police gave me a bag of rape alarms. You could not make this stuff up, dont tell you any of this on gardeners world. great video.

Now you have a huge dibber 👍🏽 💯

That fence is farr too short to keep people out, they can just step over it. It needs to be much higher, you needn't have cut the wood in half.

Emma, loved this, just a pity that no one can give you a hand to help you on your D I Y jobs, most things are easier with a extra pair of hands. Unless you are like me, Stubbern. Keep up the great work girl 👍😁😉

Hi I tried the cardboard compost idea unfortunately the cabbages planted were completely destroyed by slugs which hid under the cardboard, it was very wet which didn't help.

Good try but you can just step over chicken wire that won't keep people out it's not big enough Emma

🤣🤣 what exactly are you hoping to keep out with that "fence/hedging/lawn edging lol..mice? How funny.

Remember the vlog about the lady watering her cardboard…….

You are so funny lolxxx

Lol!

So disheartening that people would think its acceptable to steal something somebody has worked for half a year to produce Its not like pumpkins are expensive either

You sound like me on my plot "where the bloody hell did I put they bloody thing!?!?"

thats Shit People stealing stuff especially the time you have taken to grow it

I have no problems with people Emma just cats 💩 but if people want to get in there will I think you’re fencing is to small
