Front Yard Self Watering Vegetable Garden & Fruit Trees
G’Day Folks. Here’s a bit of an update on how the self watering beds are going out the front. Have also moved some fruit trees out the front & gave them a feed to get ready for an early Spring.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all,
Rob

Bad luck with the banana. Hope the bed works out better now. Website looks good mate
Cheers 😉
I wish we had some of your winter weather here in Canada Rob. Our white stuff is snow 🙂 Great look around in the front yard.
I don't think I would be able to use IBC for our winter as I would assume that the cold winter temps would split the plastic, but I can see they would make a great wicking bed. I know I have to dump out my wicking beds for the winter, which is a bit of a pain
Cheers mate
Harold
are worms good for self watering beds
i haven't used rootpouches yet
lts looking great mate. Where did you get the kelp meal from if u don't mind me asking. l would love to incorporate that into my soil
Hi Rob always enjoy your very informative videos, have some questions hope you can help.
In Nigeria the potting mix and other "store bought" manures are not available at least not anywhere near where I live.
1. Can I use poultry droppings mix with wood sawdust, cow dung, pig dung and mix with soil to fill the wicking bed as manure?
can you please show us how to prune a finger lime!?
Hey Rob great video, I'd like to know what brand the chicken pellets you mixed in with your soil and maybe I can buy it in the US
You are doing such a great job with your videos,very informative .keep up the great work cheers al
Great video Rob, be great to see you blogging again and a new website up, looking forward to it. Kate
I would like to thank you for your wonderful videos they are a fantastic resource for me. I am new to the wonderful world of fruit and veg gardening, I am not far from you in location when would you suggest starting seeds inside for spring?
Thanks.
Hi Rob
Where do you buy your Kelp meal and rock dust from
Good stuff as always mate.
Thanks
Have you had many issues with fruit flies on the yellow pear tomato? That thing was loaded up!
Hey RobBob, great garden and I can see a possible problem with your container trees. You have made a mistake a lot of people make when planting trees. You have brought the soil up above the roots so it is in contact with trunk. This can cause many problems for your trees such as disease and rot. It can also stunt there growth as the trees need to put energy into fighting of molds and fungus from the bark being in contact with damp soil over long periods of time. As the tree weakens over time your problems will compound. Howard Garrett known on youtube as Dirt Doctor has some excellent videos on proper tree care.
