Different size drill bits (different size holes) are good for different types of bees and other insects

Dig a hole and get in a hibernaculum for frogs/newts/toads if you can (look it up on KZbin as it’s a great easy habitat to build and adds more interest and adds more differing habitats for different wildlife etc).

Cheers dude for some good and simple ideas for wildlife areas of the garden. Helped get a few ideas along well in our front garden now and make it more interesting than a grass lawn cut to within an inch of its life and boring non-native bushes

What is this lock down that you speak of?

So glad to find this, exactly what I was thinking about doing with the retaining wall too❤

This is wonderful. So much wildlife. I'm planning on putting a Belfast sink pond in my allotment soon.

What do you think about this, which is what I'm planning on doing:- grass clippings, vegetable stems once theyre finished, food scraps, grass clippings and leaves as they come, urine and water over this then grass clippings if available. They hoping its all broken down into compost by late Spring😊

I watched that very Red Gardens video recently, in fact watched it several times. Really liked how he sieved and harvested potatoes at the same time. I’m having a go at that.

Welp im standing outside it's snowing and im looking at the wood in my yard thinking of doing this

Hi Mark...why have you stopped making videos?

Nice to see you hit 1.03K subscribers!

Amazing vegetable garden.

I love that you have kept posting videos it is so good to see the pond settle in. So many other videos just stop after the water goes in. I would love to see how the pond is doing now.

I have done the hole to a wildlife pond..and i was a inspiration to see how you did ...susie denmark.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Exelente work , I have my own little willow protect , love willows

Great job! Love the pond.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Great pond.

Your ponds absolutely fantastic , are you on a council run allotment? The biodiversity officer visited our site the other day and ordered me to fill in my native wildlife pond said "ponds ain't allowed" when I told my 7 year old daughter her instant reaction was " he can't tell us what to do plus where are our newts going to live " couldn't have been more proud of her because that's exactly what I said to him

Would love an update on the pond now. Thanks

Marky, Did you get a good Yield? I like the idea but worry as my clay soils tends to go a bit firm that the new Tubers will struggle to grow without the soil being much more disturbed. Thanks, Neil.

❤ *good job* / *we love your shares MWA* / *like 23* ❤

Brilliant video…

Your a trooper Mark ..fair play

Watching your trimming the excess liner left me mindful of what your Maths teacher would have made of his efforts for you ( don’t shout I have subscribed )

Pond looks just great !!!

That wood looks great. (I think Joel Ashton recommends having one exactly like that one but also carrying on in to the water - so it’s end is submerged. Do check with Joel Ashton though as you seem to be getting some support from him?! Awesome).

Great reminding us about the importance of the subsoil (the orange subsoil that you can see well!) which you use for lining the bottom of the pond for the pond pebbles to sit in etc.

Great start to the pond - looking forward to the next steps of the wildlife pond videos and also to rest of the allotment !! Really helpful

Ruth stout grew with mulch of hay mostly - not straw.

Did you also check to make sure that the thing that caused the puncture was not still stuck into the tire?

I am wondering whether or not you are going to get some wine cap mushroom spawn to inoculate all around your plot. You have an ideal plot for mushroom growth and wine caps are the best species to grow. Just an idea!

Another nice video. I keep saying that you should get an award for what you have done!

I know that you are pleased with the wall - you should be this is a great job!

I am surprised that some of that rotten wood couldn’t be used in the Hugelkulture bed that you are about to build

It is so good to see someone experimenting. The great thing for me is that you have already done the harvesting in the videos that I will be watching in the next few days/week 😊

Good idea for the use of straw. It will also keep the light out which is key for potatoes.

Phenomenal root system on those plants :)

Great idea with the beans! Your channel is truly inspirational - all the hard work you do and the ideas you describe should be great especially for new gardeners. I hope you get to 1000 subscribers soon (End of Feb, 2023)

This year, 2023, I would try planting your potatoes closer together. Great video, I’m trying to catch up with all your videos - I am getting some goo ideas from you. Stay safe!

Great structure for raspberries I think I will use the same thing for my tomatoes this year. I would have used a single turnbuckle on each level to save a few $. By the way my allotment is in Ontario, Canada. Cheers!

how deep is the lowest point?

“The Joel Ashton method” ❤ I found the Wild Your Garden channel last year and will put the wildlife pond concept in practice soon. It was great to see all the details and challenges, thank you for the series.

Where did u get your mesh from fella, I can't find any. Cheers, great video.

Great series Mark. I watched this then went back to the start of getting your plot. What an awesome job you've done. Great inspiration as I get my first plot this week.

Beautiful!!💗😙

It's so wonderful!! Beautiful garden!!🥰👍

Letting mine die back now Mark, that comfrey looked very fresh. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
