  1. Sorry Ben. This regular fan of yours got little out of this one; not the best I've seen from you. Still luv you tho!

  2. Hi Ben, so enjoy your vids. Curious about your compost pile. I just started one like yours, with all browns. Think I saw eggshells in your here. I'm concerned about wild animals and rodents coming into my compost area. Advice please. Tks loads :):):)

  3. Tip: My grandfather leaves his stuff lying around the garden that way he doesn't have to bother getting it from the shed.

  4. I recycle old fencing and reuse bits of it for my cucumbers, pumpkins and squash to climb. Saves space and my back. Couple of metal t-posts and attach the old wire. Also use it for my berries and around the fruit trees.

  5. I’d like to get rid of the grass pathways between the garden boxes, but we are on a hillside so wood chip paths might be slippery underfoot. Is there a good way to have low maintenance pathways?

  6. I'm 54 I bought 2 truck for my farm and My greatest happiness is the $ 28,000 biweekly profit I get consistently

  7. Jury for me is out on no dig…
    Surely everything on the planet needs oxygen to thrive?.

    Surely this must include the microorganisms that are deep.
    Also a tip that was handed down from grandfather to Dad to me.
    Take any vegetables and when established i found hoeing between the rows not only get rid of weeds but oxygen in the roots push on a growth spurt, never fails. When i do this i water if needed and after that little growth spurt i feed and they push on again.

  8. Does anyone ever eat rhubarb as a veg? All I can find are dessert recipes.

  9. Great stuff as always, Ben – although beans… hmmm… I’ve read a lot about them being an easy crop but last summer my broad beans were decimated by blackfly and this summer it’s been the turn of my runner beans to experience similar treatment. Am I just unlucky? (I even followed your advice to do some companion planting with nasturtiums this year and have attracted loads of ladybirds etc too… all to no avail…)

  10. You ought to fill up the grass with fruit trees and bushes and such.

  11. We love your programme. Thank you for all the advice. May we ask, will mulch harbour slugs? Would the benefit of retaining water be outweighed by the slug attacks?

  12. Ben, your garden is enchanting! πŸ˜ƒ Thanks for the time saving tips.πŸ™‚

  13. A water tip for next week, if all your planting is in pots, then stick old plates underneath to catch the run off and let the plant soak it back up. You can always buy plastic plant pot bases but recycling eh? I also use aquarium gravel as mulch on some of my window boxes – it has an added bonus of slowing the flow of water so it doesn't just run along the surface of the soil then down the sides and straight through the bottom. I also have a tomato plant in my kitchen – its plant pot is resting in an old salad bowl which means I can water it from the bottom.

  14. Hello Ben. I use electric fence posts to make fruit cages with netting just while the fruit is ripening. It keeps the birds off most of the fruit. The anchor points for wires can also be used to anchor the netting to give some sides that won't dislodge in the wind. The square tops of the posts have enough of an edge to hold the roof and any extra can be draped further down overlapping the walls and can be held in place on the anchor points.

    As for compost, I have a potential problem. There is a black ant colony that has taken over my compost that I'm preparing ready to spread on my beds before planting next spring. If I use this compost, will I be spreading ants too? If so, how can I avoid doing that while still using this compost? I hope you have an answer.

  15. drip irrigation with timers might be one of the best time savers I've used. one year I used drip on half a garden, and one of those impact tsk tsk tsk sprinklers on the other half. the drip side took weeks longer to become weed infested. I am a terrible gardener and don't like weeding, sooo, I just kinda plant extra to compensate. Okra showed me that I over compensated haha

  16. Oh excellent I use a bulb planter too it’s the same size as the starter pots I use πŸ‘πŸ‘. I think I may move my asparagus crowns in winter is that ok? They have been in this bed only a year but it’s not an ideal location. Everything looks fantastic and lush πŸ‘ thank you for sharing Ben have a great week 🐝 safe

  17. I was told turmeric was a perennial but my plants have died back so do I need to pull them out and replant in the spring or can I leave them and they’ll be OK thanks

  18. I used the planner this year and it makes it so organized because I have a visual. Plus companion planes.
