Day 3 Of Helping New Mum in crazy overgrown garden.
The votes are in for the selection of the next task in this garden. What tough task will get done? The organic cave or the entrance to the paddocks?
I'm back here again helping a new mum with a four month old baby get her garden ready for moving in, its getting very close to moving in day.
When she sent me pictures of this garden and asked for help, there was no way I could refuse. Total overgrown nightmare full of roses and brambles and been neglected for years.
This video is Day 3 of filming, to check out Day 1 & 2 click the link below.
Day 1 • New Mum Needs Help Wit...
Day 2 • New Mum needs more HEL...
Its been a long and gruelling job, but the garden looks far better. As always there is still more work to do.
Thank you so much for watching,
Martin The Garden Guy.

You’ve gifted children with a spot where they can use their imagination & creativity! I know it was so much work. Thanks for hanging in with the project! Absolutely ❤ it!!!!

@staciebooth7456 10 месяцев назад

He has more patience than me. I’d be throwing that hedge clipper around like a samurai sword

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

I do actually do that sometimes, I pretend its a lightsabre 😂 but I cut my leg quite badly one time, so I don't do that anymore 😂😅😁

@sabinereimer7809 10 месяцев назад

@@martinthegardenguyfor brambles I sometimes use a very sharp machete... but I am always aware that it's REALLY sharp...😊 Is this that kind of Japanese vines with the small white flowers? It looks nice for a while but if not constantly cut it takes over EVERYTHING. We had one single plant witch took over 3 neighbours gardens. It was planted in a big plastic bucket and the roots managed to penetrate the bottom.

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Oh yeah, I love machetes but always feel the worst when swinging one of those things around! 🤣 I do have a thing called a brush hook that's like a machete on the end of a pole. But it's still not the safest bit of kit 😅 The vine you can see in this video, is actually a clematis. But a very, very old one that's not been touched for years. The one you mentioned, we call Bindweed. And you are right, it's a real headache to get rid of.

You can tell this was once a well loved garden. Chances are it was an elderly person's home that could no longer keep up the maintenance. Such a brilliant transformation for the new tenant ❤

@martinthegardenguy 9 месяцев назад

I totally agree, there was so many things that pointed towards it being lovely at one point. Hopefully, it'll will be again. I'll do what I can 😅 Thank you for the comment Martin.

Wow, clearing out the temple of gloom took as long as the rest of the garden. That mum and Bub are lucky you came along. Well done and greetings from Australia. If I had to do a garden like that in Australia I would have to go in with a flamethrower first to clear out the snakes, spiders and odd crocodile 🐊

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Temple of Gloom.......why didn't I think of that! 😂 it sounds far cooler than the cave of wonders. And a lot more fitting too 😁 p.s great to hear from you, all the way from Australia. Amazing. If I lived in Australia, Id probably have to find another profession 😂 maybe a Surfer....that looks cool. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍 All the best Martin.

Looks like the space could have been an outdoor potting area with a little arbor entrance. Maybe?

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

That's a great thought, I did find various pots underneath, so it's definitely a possibility, and also I found some very old solar garden lamps. Wow, it must have looked amazing back in the day. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to fix it all back up to how it used to be🤞 Thanks Martin

This clean-up reminds me of the answer to the question -- how do you eat a whole bear? Answer -- One bite at a time. Good work on a daunting job.

@betseystewart2219 10 месяцев назад

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for that lovely comment 😊 you are very kind. I thought the same, I was hoping for some strange house or pergola. But it'll be a lovely seating area when replanted and repaired. I could have carved out an organic igloo, I suppose 🤣 Thanks again, much appreciated 👍 Martin

@lauralake7430 10 месяцев назад

Grass seed is looking good! I think the cave of wonders might have been built as a little garden seat or pergola? When the baby is a bit older, it will make an excellent playhouse/ pirates adventure castle/ space ship/ pony barn for the rocking horse/ who knows what! Really nice work!

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, it looks like it was a nice seating area. Probably would have been lovely before the climbing plants took over completely. I love your imagination, I think you are right. The child is going to love it 😍 what a fabulous den it's going to make. After I've fixed it up anyhoo, this job will never end 🤣

@marlaabe7254 10 месяцев назад

I do like how you clip down the big pieces into smaller pieces that will compost more easily. Great work....and fun discoveries! That "cave" was so much more work than I could have imagined. Seeing it cleared, and the pot of thyme, still alive, makes me think it was once an herb garden. Great work.

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Haha, yeah I don't even know I'm doing it sometimes. I try and compost virtually everything so it defiantly helps it break down quicker, and I can get more into the bags as well 👍its a hell of a work out for the hands though, I bet I end up with carpal tunnel 😂 Also, your right. The cave of nightmares was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. So much dead wood, and seasoned vines it was far harden than cutting into green growth. But I got there in the end......just about 😊 Thank you so much for the comment, really appreciate it. Martin.

@marlaabe7254 10 месяцев назад

Sir, you have far more patience than I possess. I would have used an Oregon mulching blade to take it down a couple of inches from the ground then mulch it up for the waste bags. The bramble stalks left can be dug out after. This has been an incredible effort on your part and you are to be congratulated for a job extremely well done.

Princess's palace, doll house, tree house, cowboy fort, knight's castle, siblings' and friends' gang hut. You name it. Store kid's outdoor toys. Cover the ground with weed suppressing fabric, then outdoor carpets. Put some pallet wood on the surrounding frames to make low barriers. Put old sheets/blankets, cheap tarps or shade sails from archway to fences. Child can play out in light rain or blazing sun. Wonderful how big the space is.

I've only just found your videos and have just subscribed. I watched all 3 of these and it's been fascinating with everything that's been uncovered! That arbour was absolutely overwhelmed with ilex crenata (you probably know that, Martin!); I have some in my front garden and I have to keep a check on it because it spreads by its roots. One of the best transformations I've watched! Keep up the good work😉😉!

@martinthegardenguy 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it ☺️ To be honest, I was unsure whether it was an Ilex or a Lonicera. I was going to try to identify it properly, but I ended up doing my whirling dervish impression with the hedge cutter instead 😂 Some gardening jobs don't actually call for that much "gardening " to be fair. But you have certainly made me think, it was rather ilex crenata like. Thanks again All the best Martin.

Damn dude! You got some muscles!! Cleaning out that arbor wore me out. That was something. Looks fab, though. Be sure and throw more grass seed down and carry on.👍👍👍

@martinthegardenguy 5 месяцев назад

😂 those muscles certainly ached the next day 😁 . It was a fun little job, though. On the last day I did there, I put some more grass seed down. As you'd probably noticed, it got trampled quite badly while I was working. Although it was growing quite nicely 👍 Thanks for the comment 😁 Martin

It looked like the arch was covered in wisteria but it was choked by the brambles

@martinthegardenguy 3 месяца назад

I think you're right 👍 it did look like the spiral plats that wisteria can sometimes form. There was also some clematis that'd been long ago snuffed out.

@SarHje 10 месяцев назад

I’d say any brambles left near that garden-fence, outside or inside, will cause major problems in the future as they sneak in AND if you have kids they will hurt themselves on thorns. There seems to be lots around anyway if you’re keen on blackberries. Well done 👍🏻

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Cheers! They will be a pain to totally get rid of, but as you say.....for one month of the year, they are awesome 🤣 I love blackberries. I often got spiked as a kid when collecting them. It's only fond memories 😁 I think a regular chop will keep them in order. The neighbors seem to be OK. But that's another videos. Thank you so much for your comment. Much appreciated Martin 😊

What a cute corner that will be for the kids. You did such a careful and meticulous job clearing as you went. Best way to do it so cleanup isn’t so overwhelming. Just let the mum know that the bush against the fence closest to the right side of the corner looks from here to be an oleander which are poisonous. Good to see you back in action. We’ve been promised a wet winter here in So. California but we’ll see if it happens. 😊

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Oh, hello 👋 😁 thanks for the comment. I wish we could grow Oleander outdoors over here. They really don't like our winters (or at least in my part of the UK) I've got one in a pot that I have to hide in the greenhouse over winter. I think the plant you saw was a Bay Laurel. But I may be wrong 😂 To be honest, I tend to be in auto pilot when I'm holding tools 🤣 and cutting things hard back. I'll have a closer look next time I'm back, as I've been roped into landscaping this garden next spring now 😂 The never-ending job. All the best Martin.

Definitely need a beefier hedge cutter. That Makita battery one is great for fine work and pruning, but something like a Stihl HS82 petrol cutter would make very short work of this. Not cheap I know, but powerful and robust and would save you so much time.

@martinthegardenguy 5 месяцев назад

Haha, I actually have the HS45, but I like using my cordless kit to put it through its paces. You're right though, it would have eaten this up easily. The cutting diameter of that beast is quite impressive. My goal though isn't always to go as quickly as possible. I love gardening, so I like taking my time. 😁

Man, I never thought I’d see the end of that gargantuan plant, I can only imagine how you felt. 😂 Awesome three-part transformation! New subscriber. After watching so many Australian and English gardening videos, if I never see a shrub or vine again, it’ll be too soon!! 🌿

@martinthegardenguy 9 месяцев назад

Same here 😂 I thought the job would never end. It's a rare garden that has vines that think, at least outside of a real jungle 😁 Hope you enjoyed it though 🤞 Thanks Martin

Impossible to get rid of berry vines. They’ll keep popping up forever.

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Almost impossible 😅 with regular attention, though, you can get rid of them. It does take a while though. Especially if your like me, and won't use weed killers 🤣

I think an Oregon blade would have “minced” all that in about a fourth of the time. Good work though!

Indeed, you're right. I do actually have one, but I forgot the hex wrench to swap the strimmer head for the blade 😂 so I improvised. Cheers 👍 😊

@pamelaabettis7225 10 месяцев назад

Do you have special gloves to be able to handle that thorny vine? I’m from Texas in the US. It seems to me that these bramble vines are the scourge of the UK! 😂 Just disposing of the stuff is insane! You did a great job of it!

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Greetings Texas ❤️ Quite right, brambles are. Although the fruit still has major redeeming qualities to stop people hating it 🤣 so we only hate it for 11 months of the year. To be honest, it's not really a massive problem in most gardens that aren't neglected. It's can be spotted quite easily and removed. It's only when a garden gets left of many years (like this one) that it really becomes a problem. It's can give nasty scratches, though 😅 Thanks for the comment. Truly, it's appreciated. Martin

@beckylavine5486 10 месяцев назад

Why do you take the time to chop the branches smaller? Anyway, it looks great!

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Haha, good question 😁 it's mainly a habit. It also helps all the clippings pack down into the bags. But I suppose a chipper or shredder would be easier 😅 I've been doing it for years, at least it's good exercise 😊 Thanks for the comment, and a totally valid question 👍

@lynnedelacy2841 5 месяцев назад

Rather than do the paddock entrance which may or may not belong to the house I’d have been tempted to power wash the stones and mix a bit of concrete to put some of the top stones back that had come off

@martinthegardenguy 5 месяцев назад

I'd did consider it, but half those slabs really need relaying properly. They were very wonky. So washing them, at least now, would have been pointless. Until they are all safe and none wobbly. But as much as I like helping people out, this would be a massive (and very expensive) job. So I had to concentrate on the greenery, as that's my specialty 😁

@lynnedelacy2841 5 месяцев назад

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

@brotoubrotou3164 9 месяцев назад

Excellent result but I kept wondering why you didn’t take the trimmer to ground level or close to ground level and slice those stems all at once and pull more out at a time instead of snipping 6 or 8” snippets a million times. Just seemed like a ton more work. Either way the end result is terrific. Edit: Will she let you take down any bush that’s even just touching the fences? It’s rot and damage waiting to happen.

@martinthegardenguy 9 месяцев назад

Hi, the reason I didn't use the trimmer was it was that thick, it kept jamming up the blades. I'm sure there are easier ways than the way I did it, but I love using as many manual tools as possible. I'm old school 😂 I may be visiting this garden again next year (spring) to carry on and tackle the rest, as you can probable tell, there's still quite a lot to do 😁👍 All the best Martin.

@martinthegardenguy 10 месяцев назад

Oh wow, that'll be a beautiful display. I love seeing them, but always with a hint of sadness. How has the weather been over there? It's been (as you could probably tell) very wet and miserable here. I honestly think I prefer a nice crisp cold spell than a long, wet, dreary period like this. Doesn't half put a damper on the spirt 🤣

@catherinefromchristchurchn6508 10 месяцев назад

@@martinthegardenguy Definitely still wetter and colder than usual, there was more snow on the Southern Alps this week, so light frost in Christchurch, and everything is growing like crazy, meaning more fuel for wildfires when it does switch to hot and dry. Most years that would have already happened, dry warm winds from the northwest, like the French Mistral.
