Hi Matt, Great to have you with us 👍👍🌱🌱

@cheddar4859 carrots can be a battle of attrition. You'll find you need to do a few different sowing times, but last year the carrots in plugs did the best for me. 🙏🌱

Cheers Ben, I've got so much planned this year. It will be epic 🙏🙏😎😎 really appreciate the feed back

Great Question: And I will cover this in detail as they grow in another video. It's depending on what you sow them in. seedling compost will need pricking out. multi compost you can leave in. 🙏🙏🌱🌱

Hallo, and thank you for your support and feed back! "Laten we groeien" 🌱🌱🙏🙏

Can you grow these seed trays in an upstairs new build air to water sealed house 🤓please Love your channel

@@angelabarrett5541 Great question, the new builds should have window vents to control moisture. so keep good airflow. (Important) I only water the seedlings once then put a lid on, the condensation will collect in the lid. so in that case you should be fine. 🙏🙏🌱🌱

Merci... for watching, here's to a fantastic season ahead 🙏🙏

@veggiepatchideas de rien

Hi Tracy It's great to have you on board, Here's to an amazing season. 🙏🙏🌱🌱👍👍

Hi, Thanks for watching.. I'm in the south west of the UK 👍🌱

Definitely less damage to the reds, nothing worse than harvesting and seeing slugs everywhere 🤣 🙏🌱

totally agree- uggghh!

Yes, I only grow Lollo Rosso now as its the only one that survives my slug invasion.

@@muyaakindahunsi2465 Great to have you on board👌 and Welcome to the community. Here's to an amazing season ahead 🙏🌱

Thanks Wendy really appreciate your support 🙏🌱 and Happy new year 🎉

Thanks Neil, much applicated 🙏🙏🌱🌱

Great Question 👍👍 Well in fact your correct by using Vermiculite It's better for water and nutrient retention (Good for you down under) Hot Summers. I use Perlite to aerate the compost we may not see the sun for days due to cloud cover. so I don't want the mix to wet. 🙏🙏🌱🌱

Thanks I'll look into those 👍👍

When do you start from seed is it this month January

Great Question, For plants you don't need to change the compost. Feed them with a liquid fertilizer. 2 times a year for a start but please check what each plant needs first. As for Vegetables Fresh compost will be best for each season (year) or at least a topper. then add liquid feed through the growing season. 🌱🙏

Thanks Moses, feels good to get going again 🙏🌱

Thanks for the feed back, it's really appreciated. Welcome to the Poly tunnel Club✨✨your going to love it 🙏🙏🌱🌱

@@veggiepatchideas I’m never out of tunnel since built haha. In fact my day job just gets in the way now 🤣

@@Gardennovice-plot32 🤣🤣 I know the feeling

Eeek Snowmageddon! I take it your up north. Currently enjoying a blanket of fog here in the southwest. 🙏🎄

@@myrustygarden Hi Ali, hope you had a great Xmas. Here's to a great season for both of us this year. Felt great to get started 🙏🎄

Thanks for watching 🙏 yep I'm drip feeding my way into it. But feels nice to break the seal 🤣🤣

@@veggiepatchideas I am growing some rare tomatoes this year so i am looking forward to that, and also I am doing a chillie challenge this year, but I am a novice chille grower so that could be interesting 😂

Glad you liked it!

Thanks, still in the contract part (painfully slow in the UK) so busy dismantling my current house, it's amazing how many things you have. Today's project was to take down the gym. I'm guessing the solicitors will take a month off now for Xmas 😂😂

@ 🤦‍♀️ it’s crazy how it works and sad they can drag it out so much. But I get it we had to houses and until the first one finished sale bla bla had to actually take out a mortgage in the new one for 2 months but if we hadn’t we would have lost this house which we loved

Thanks for your detailed comment, I guess its about what works for the induvial and how they enjoy their gardening what matters most. As the seasons pass us by we refine easy easier ways to manage the plot. Ill spend 30 minutes every few months on my compost, and spend hours on prepping the beds with rotten manure that ill get from a field far away. This is as much for health reasons as soil health. as we age we loose muscle mass so finding heavy jobs to keep those type 2 muscle fibres active is a part of my daily mantra. 🙏🌱

@ : yep, context matters. compost is oversold though, that it will fix anything and everything, and that it's somehow the one and only true way of looking after soil fertility. it's a way of using green waste, but demands time, money, and effort. i had a shredder and had to regularly shred, and it's not that easy if you want finished compost on time between crops. if you have fallow period because of cold climate, might be ok. in any case, most ancient farming civilizations were not using compost for soil fertility. high amounts of dead organic matter in soil can be problematic. mushrooms love that stuff but veggies were not designed to grow in dead organic matter. there's too much hype about compost, with all the pseudo-science that it's the right way and only way. new veggie gardeners get sucked in.

Great idea, and perfect for large gardens. 👌👍🌱

Thanks buddy 🙏🌱

@@ausfoodgarden your more organised than me 😂😂 dark here now by 4.30pm. So I'm climbing the walls 🤣

😂😂 Hey Ali, the allotment site is the same distance just the other direction, however there is another site that's even closer. As I run the site I'm on at the moment I'm slightly torn on what to do 😂 guess it will all work itself out.

@ do both move over slowly 👍👍

Many thanks for coming on the live last night, turned my compost today, thought while doing it, I must sort out some sort of front for, so I can fill it properly. Hope the house move goes smoothly.

I’ve done it again, put my comment in someone else’s comment 🙈🙈👍

@@Petetrenouth ha ha thanks Pete, was great to jump on your live last night. 🙏🙏

Thanks, I went really big on these, turns out I'll need only one side per season. Hope that helps. The building video is in the description 🌱👌

Thanks so much 🙏🌱

I hope so too! Thanks fior commenting it's really appreciated 🙏🌱
