I look at chemicals as I do medicines. I don't take/use them because they encumber an immune system that needs to flourish and become dependent.
Your channel is my 'goto' for all information.
Thank you.
Excellent video of wisdom, experience, direction, and encouragement. Thank you. Even experienced gardeners need to hear this right now at the beginning of the season.
I’m Catalonian person who ‘s retired now, and I watch all yours vídeos. I Learn a lot of garden vegetables and English too, cause you speack slowly and you put subtitles. For me, both are important. Thanks at all you teach us, specially today. Thanks, Thanks…
Huw, thank you. This video felt like a good wholesome chat with a friend. I hope more people watch this to gain a healthy perspective on “shepherding their land.” Absolutely love all the cliches.
To follow up on the chemical comment in the video, do you suggest/use any organic plant food/fertilizer at all, or do you only use compost created on your property?
Thanks for this video. I'm so happy I found it. I really enjoy gardening and trying to care for something, also learned more about plants and growing. It is a great activity to share with my wife and son but its pretty neat too that we get to share the food as well as a meal. I'm hoping to expand a bit more this year on a few new things but in the end, keep it fun and keep learning!
Hi Huw can green potatoes be chatted and planted?
When I was 5 years old (in 1957) my dad gave me a little bit of ground, I planted 4 potatoes and got 28 back. I am now 69 and I think I have got a little better each year as I now have more than 7 H/acres in North Spain. I still love to be out in the garden.
Thank you. Last year was my first. I moved to a desert and a cold climate. I experienced a terrible first year. I have few trees and no organic material on my property. Getting started this second spring I feel slightly more confident. I plan to watch more of your videos.
I'm a newbie gardener, very willing to learn. We've had tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers before. For some reason our tomatoes don't produce many ever, but our cucumbers are prolific
Me: "Ok, I'll try no dig gardening"
Georgia red clay: "lmao no you won't"
Hugulkulture in raised beds is pretty much all I can do with my resources. It's fun. Last year's soil looks amazing right now.
So so true, everything you say here.
Can you please do a video on how to plan for and have enough food for the hungry gap? Thankyou from Ireland
Thanks
Is tomato feed an organic thing? I'm guessing it isn't. What should I use instead? Nothing? Seaweed?
Now in my 50s gardening has taught me more patience than perhaps the whole rest of my life. But I love the daily learning curve. It's daily new but attainable and best of all grounding. You have been a key inspiration to me for the last three years. Thank you for this video which is much like your older ones but with new mature wisdom.
these kind of vids are amazing, tks!
