Underground or sunken greenhouse . Will be the future. No acid rain from chimtrail and dropping gravity independent water sistem . Grow all year around, termo regulated.
Hi Huw, watching you from Gander Newfoundland and Labrador Canada! I’m a teacher as well, 31 years now. Retiring soon to The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead. My wife and I have BIG plans! Take a look!
Please tell us how to deter rabbits from our plants. What is the netting you use? We’re in Portland Oregon and we get a lot of miles, rabbits and squirrels. Also, how do we get rid of slugs? We’re considering using wood chips in the walkway but we’re told that slugs like them
Please don't burn newspaper. It's toxic, containing not only toxic chemicals but also natural rubber latex, which is toxic. (Follow the money- corporations LIE.)
Not only will you be inhaling those aerosolized toxins, if someone with a latex allergy catches a whiff (it can be up to a mile away that someone may be impacted), you can trigger life-threatening anaphylaxis and potentially kill them.

If you want to learn more about perennial vegetables you should get “perennial vegetables” by Eric Toensmeier.
You have a lot of good tips. One correction; a wigwam is round, built by woodland indians. A teepee is conical, traditional for plains indians. Your beans were growing on a conical trellis, a.k.a. a teepee.
Fantastic in depth information about growing your own veg. You and Charles Dowding not forgetting the lovely Liz Zorrab are my Gardening heros in the UK. Regenerative / Permaculture Agriculture is the way to a sustainable future.
Love your videos, so very helpful. Am very new to gardening, having recently inherited a very large plot of land which was tended to by my father in law and he always grew the best vegetables. I don't know the first thing about growing your own veg so I'm trying to take in as much information as I can and I find your tutorials really friendly and helpful.
1. To learn more about growing from seed
2. To understand what to grow and when
3. To learn what can grow together and what cannot. I gather a fair few things do not get along in the same growing space and that is clearly important to understand. I'm hoping to be able to build some raised beds, revive the existing soil and grow something my father in law would be proud of.
Keep those super videos coming please, they're an absolute life-saver. Am looking at both our course and your new book and hopefully one day soon I can call myself an actual gardener 😀
My 3 Goals: (I have just moved home) 1. Try Composting for the first time! 2. Use Succession Planting (I live alone so need less all at once!!) 3. Discover what works best and where. Wish me more successes than failures!
This will be our 2nd year to garden at the spot. 3 goals for the season 2021:
1) get the composting going
2) study the light/wind/temperature conditions etc for proper planning
3) plant more fruit trees & berry bushes
Ahhh i think my problem is I have too many goals. I finally have the opportunity to start a real garden and so all of it is goals. Plant more than I ever have. Do no dig, make use of compost. Save seeds, make raised beds, grow vertically as much as possible……
Great tip on laminating your garden plans! Thank you❤️
very helpful garden tip, im going to roll around in my garden as so as i can, lets be youtbe mate ?
This year I'd like to get rid of my filler plants that aren't beneficial to the garden, successfully grow from seed without rabbits munching my sprouts first, and learn as much as I can from the experience.
Hi Huw. Any idea where you might fine these fabulous bricks for easy raised beds. https://youtu.be/RLb5W-EZTAE
From a muddle headed gardener, I would like to 1. provide veg all year round by reading the blurb thoroughly on the seed packet. 2. Try and organise my growing area for ease on my arthritic knees and hips. 3. Be more organised. Happy new year to all gardeners who can't wait to get back in the garden. In the coming days I will be able to find mine again when the snows gone
One: Control pests more effectively
Two: Build better soil for more, and better produce
Three: Grow more flowers (We had a great lack of pollinators last year)
Mine are:
1. Try to grow enough veggies sow e don*t have to shop for veggies from April – December.
2. Grow more flowers in the garden, including these gigantic sunflowers I am super excited about.
3. Establish 5 new beds in the autumn for next year.
Bonus goal 4: Create all my own compost for the autumn.
1)become more self sustainable growing larger amounts of organic veg , fruits ect and building on last years homemade compost
2) Invite more birds and bugs and rely more on natural pest control creating a wildlife haven around the allotment for ultimate balance in the future
3)Get WAY better at sow timings in wales for succession planting
Love your goals! I too am adding more companion flowers(mostly edible), also adding more perennial vegetables(and fruits), and hoping to build a greenhouse.
I printed my almanac plan this week and got my seeds organized. I think i kinda have a schedule until August but rotation of crops I'm not so sure about. Down to space planing now and I have a side yard I'm trying to figure out what to plant it gets ok light in morning but is under a tree between two houses. I'm thinking bush beans, onions, garlic, potatoes, and lettuce and leave the rest of my direct full sun southern facing garden to all my other crops. We get lots of heat in summer and lots of spring storms. Zone 7. My only issue with my side garden is my outdoor water spouts are limited. Some of my better garden locations lack water access and all our hoses everywhere becomes and issue or damages other plants trying to drag hoses around. We have underground sprinklers that don't work and built improperly before we purchased our home so I don't use them use they have to be ripped out. I'm half tempted to get pvc pipe to do a sprinkler run to the side yard but I'm on a budget. Any water tips on a budget? If I had money I'd get a holding tank and do a timed gravity feed and use some rain water but again my budget. Want something I can build on as budget permits.
Great advice. Some of these things we will be doing with our school age children. I think planning, notebooking, observation and research all go hand in hand with gardening. Every year we learn something new and try to be innovative with problem solving and it is just a fantastic environment for learning so many different subjects all in one place, the garden. When I was about my children's age our class was asked to pick a spot down by the wetlands to sit and observe and every week for a year we would go to our spot, collect samples, take notes of changes and had to draw a full sketch of our spot. After a year we had notes and drawings of every square inch and every season and change and knew the light and the trees and the critters by heart. We are doing that this year with our children and each kid is getting their own plot in the garden and every week we are going to go sit and draw, note and observe our little plots. We are going to start a garden notebook and catalog every plant in our garden too. One of my children has asthma so we are making her plot a respiratory garden and teaching her about all those medicinal plants, teas and hopefully learning how to use them in our home.
My goals: most of family food coming from garden, grow enough to help others, get fruit bushes and trees to take root and thrive
I love your garden
Você é lindo
1. To start planning
2. Food all year-round
3. No-dig gardening which will be a big adjustment
We're planning our first garden now. This is so helpful! Thank you!
My 3 goals are to :
1. Make my soil the healthiest possible.
2. Grow potatoes- why am I scared to grow potatoes?!
3. Grow enough to share with friends and family.
Great video (again) thank you!
Goals: 1 to produce fresh fruit and veg for my family if 5 in my new veg plot.
2. To grow organically and maximize space to grow super abundantly.
3. Have pumpkins for the kids for Halloween.
3.
Great ideas! Love your garden
Hello Huw Richards! I am a new subscriber here.Thanks I found out your channel,I was so impressed and interested watching it,! I learned a lot from you. Can't wait to see you on your next video.God bless!
For me, I'm hoping to start my garden this year. So my three goals are:
Start my permaculture garden with my 1st raised garden bed
Focus on heritage varieties
Learn to dry, preserve and basically to use as much of my produce as possible to be self sufficient in something.
The summer season in Australia atm has been a mix of hot and cool, so it will certainly be an interesting season going into autumn and winter this year
Great video… Backup on Google Drive would be a must. As an author, I use GD everyday.
If Google crashes for long periods of time, I doubt that food would be important anyway.
My goals are to till out the back half of my yard, marking out the veggie beds and some flower beds. Second is to start the rose garden, and third is to get my decking latticed in to keep the cats from sneaking under there.
Great video! My 3 goals for 2021 are build at least 5 raised beds, be diligent about keeping the suckers pruned from tomato plants, and successfully collect and store seeds.
My 2021 goal: Document on your calendar the day you plant a variety AND it's expected harvest date. Useful when you are working with new varieties.
– want to try new varieties
-healthier plants
-planning on a planting plan
Oh so sad. I missed the first three days of the video.
