Have been growing and grafting apple and pear espalier trees for three decades. Here are a few comments: Allow the future horizontal whips to grow at about a 45 degree angle, fastened to a thin rod. Fold the rod down in the late summer and fasten it to the horizontal support. For each new level start like this. These trees must be pruned twice a year. Cut back the non fruit budding branches in late winter. Always cut at angle directly after a bud. With the exception of the centre lead which will also be cut back slightly, this can be fairly substantial. At the beginning, be patient and cut a fair bit back otherwise the short branches will be much bigger than you want requiring more massive trimming in a few years time. Bind the new growth of the central lead of each branch regularly to the support to keep it growing straight. The second pruing is usually in May or early June. After the winter pruning, new shoots will develop. Leave about three buds and cut these back again. This will promote the development of more fruit bearing buds. After a few years further pruning will also be necessary to thin out the tree. Pruning the roots can also be helpful to provide new growth to support the large amount of fruit these trees provide. I have had good luck with MM #9 (Melton Mawlings) root stock. With experience, I have found that some varieties are better suited to espalier growing than others. Espalier make great borders along paths or at the end of a small area. Temperature sensitive fruits can be grown against a protective south facing wall.

Thanks for pointing out the particulars of each tool. I will would like to add there are price discrepancies internationally. In Australia, a Kana Hoe ("razor hoe") can be had for about AUD $25 while the Capability Trowel sets us back AUD $40 or thereabouts. That would probably shift the dial on how valuable each tool relatively is. Also from my experience, the Kana Hoe (with carbon steel) holds its edge better but may require sharpening, and I find a diagonal pull (similar to a scythe motion) is effective in getting it to cut tough grasses. Otherwise, love the enthusiasm!

Love your channel and accent, very informative. Do you have any thoughts on storage squash? I am looking for a new savoury recipe for them. 😀🌱🐢

Thanks for the lovely comment! Squash and pumpkins are really versatile! I like to cut them up into cubes and then roast them. This brings out the natural sweetness. Then you can add them to creamy pasta sauce, beef chilli, chill and mash and use in cakes, or just freeze them in small quantities ready to be pulled out and defrosted for a no-hassle veggie side or to add to soups, stews, curries, and casseroles to up the flavour and vitamin count. Enjoy those delicious squash! 🥰

I really like your videos on plants! Can’t wait to see more so I can learn more about gardening. Gardening is a stress relief for me after I lost my daughter. It’s been a hit or miss growing things. But it can become very expensive. So this video is nice to know about different mulch for different plants. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
@amykellygardeningАй бұрын
Jenny I'm so sorry for your loss. Gardening is therapy for me, too. No matter what is happening in my life, the garden is a place I can go and be calm and productive and not be judged or afraid. It's always there when you want it, and it forgives if you neglect it a bit and rewards all your efforts. It's a perfect companion and a joy forever! Gardening can absolutely be done on a tight budget. If you haven't seen this one about collecting seeds and taking cuttings it's a great way to build up your plant supply for free: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHjSmpJufrOkftE Also keep an eye out for cheap bare root fruit trees over the winter. These are young trees that have literally been pulled up out of the ground, they come with their roots covered in a bag but no soil or pot. I'm filming a video about them now that will be out soon. It's the cheapest way to get a fruit tree, and they actually grow better than the expensive ones you get in containers at other times of year. Thanks for your comment, and I hope you continue to enjoy your garden! ❤️

Thank you for this handy tutorial! Amy I have little flys in and around my indoor plants, why and how do I get them gone? please help !! ❤🙏🏻 x
@amykellygardeningАй бұрын
They are probably fungus gnats, tiny flies that feed on the fungus (often not really visible) that grows in the soil around plants. These can be an indication that you may be over-watering. If your plant is in a decorative pot, take it out and drain off any water sitting in the bottom of the pot. Stop watering your plant until the soil dries out properly, and then only water sparingly. You want the top of the soil to dry out in between watering, and that will deprive the flies of their food and you will stop getting them. You can use sticky traps to capture the flies, or if you really want to use them there are pesticides available in most countries to treat this - use strictly according to the instructions on the packaging. Avoid any gimmick houseplant "cures", e.g. milk, as this will make it worse. I hope that helps! 🥰🥰

Let's not forget that hedgehogs user leaves to build their nests so one important thing to people is don't be greedy & take all the leaves from an area & always have a pile of leaves in your garden, it's a great habitat for them.

Fantastic reminder! I absolutely should have included that, I have two small log piles and a hibernaculum in my tiny garden (near the pond), and I always encourage everyone to think of wildlife and keep some wild areas in the garden 🦔❤️

If only every garden was like that, not only would they look great but our precious wildlife would be in a much better shape. I'm doing what I can in my little garden, I'm surrounded by gardens thar are either concrete slab jungles, gravel or fake grass but that just drives me to do everything I can for wildlife in my own garden. I'm glad you mentioned hedgehogs, that's the animal that was my driving force in turning what was just a patch of grass into something much more beneficial for wildlife, not just for hedgehogs but for all wildlife.

Amy love this video, I am new to gardening! And have a question! I have an oak tree in my garden I was going to lawnmower the leaves up put them on my new flower beds to help nourish the soil , it was grass/ sandy mud! I’ve used cardboard on them topped that with compost then was thinking the oak leaves followed by fine bark mulch ? Would this be good for flowers next year? Thank you so much for your easy to follow videos ❤🙏🏻 x
@amykellygardening2 ай бұрын
Oh yes that would be perfect! The bark will help to keep the leaves in place, and if they get chopped up by the lawn mower they will break down even more quickly and put that goodness into the soil even faster. One word of caution, if you've used a week killer or a "weed and feed" on the lawn just be careful as any grass clippings could then potentially damage your lovely flowers. Don't put any fertilizer in the soil over winter, wait until spring to add it or it will just be washed away by winter rains. I'm so exited for you, I'm sure your garden will look gorgeous! 🌷🌹🪻🌼🌻🥰
