Bob talks about his fixed vegetable beds, the green manures he uses, why he loves Borage and is trying to select a pink flowered one plus shows off his home made garden shed from old tyres. As you would expect he show cases old freezers for new uses, his compost heaps and his double skinned polytunnel. Bob and Bunny approach gardening in totally different ways and are known for regular heated discussions on BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time.
Listen to a longer discussion between Bunny and Bob on Bunny’s podcast ‘Bunny in the Garden with…’.

Loved watching this! Bob is a dying breed....what a fantastic gardener, I wish I had the courage to be as encompassing as he is! Thanks Bunny for your well thought out content.

So lovely to see Bob Flowerdew. Haven’t seen him since his days on Gardeners World with the late, great Geoff Hamilton. I remember he grew potatoes in tyres, and true to his belief he’s still using them. He has a true love for gardening, and I love his approach. Glad to see he still has the plaits. Thank you for a most enjoyable blog. 💚💚💚

I just love when you do these one on one, the conversation is wonderful even with the bantering 😅. Each garden you visit is different and each to his/her own as they say. If we can glean even one bit of information, it is time well spent. And I get a giggle while watching. It truly makes my day as I watch in the mornings with my coffee and I am set to have a great day… Thank you Bunny ❤

I just love the surname, " Flowerdew" He comes from generations of farmers The less you disturb soil, the more microbiomes you have Soil health is so important and great to see this long chat with Bunny and Bob He is so right. Nature sorts things out

Nice to find Bob again. Always interesting. Often controversial. But with gems of insight. And remember, we have penicillin because Fleming was an untidy messy scientist 😉

I make compost piles where I plan to use the compost. It makes for less toting the compost through the yard. Plus, I can experiment to see which pile composts better than another.

Interesting content - great to hear the chat between you two that works so well on BBC radio. I'm sure that when designing and making a garden for a client, you would bring in professionals to work in your team, chosen for their skills in horticulture, engineering, stone working and so on. But you don't do this for KZbin videos. Others in the KZbin gardening subject area do seem to have paired up with people with film-making production skills to really good effect.

I think Nicky Haslam (one of your previous interviewee's this year) would have enjoyed accompanying you on this visit; an opportunity missed. From the 40 vines he planted, Bob stated only two varieties have proved any good - I wonder which ? Desmond from Norfolk was a good watch; this also. Thank you.

Bob is entertaining and very knowledgeable but I couldn’t garden as he does. Weeds? A big no for me? Colour and form for me too.

Does Bob ever take note of other people's viewpoints, mull it over and give it some consideration? 🤔

@SpanishEclectic 2 ай бұрын

I'm not familiar with Bob. Quite the character. I did see an evil nettle in his compost leavings. Here in the U.S. it's drummed into us to never leave the doors on an abandoned fridge because children could get trapped inside. I'm definitely one to 'just let things grow as they will', as I rarely ever get enough time to do everything necessary in my garden. But I've also had friendly disagreements with a friend who loves her drip watering system (we're in California, so watering is a must), while I like to hand water or use the hose, personally monitoring when different plants in my mostly container garden need water. I also like to inspect the garden every time I water, which, with my current strategy, is once or twice a week, taking an hour. Small pots may need to be topped off with rainwater from my barrels once or twice during the week. I do have to say, though, that I prefer your aesthetic, Bunny. Your garden has such a feel of an old estate (even the newer bits), and I love how everything looks beautiful without trying too hard. I do think I need some borage in my life, though. :)

Drip systems are more efficient and use much less water but target it efficiently

My heart sank about two seconds in with the mention of Kingie. Not an endorsement in my opinion.Yes,Bob we could all grow our own fresh healthy food if we had an acre or so available like you do. And yes,we worked too and were prepared to pay but SOCIETY said a BIG NO to us didnt it. No,you cant buy a house and garden with that money you earn. We are excluding you.

Even a tiny garden can grow quite a bit of food if people weren't obsessed with lawns and paths. Tubs and window boxes can grow herbs and tomatoes, a pot of spinach will last for ages. No, we can't all have great gardens but we can all do our bit.

@notnow7973 3 ай бұрын

Does he sell crops? I don’t understand why he’s growing so much food. More than can be eaten. Please share what he’s doing with the food.

His productivity per sq m would be so low due to competing weeds, pests ,disease, poor soil ,tree roots, drought etc that he probably still has to buy veg from Tesco !

Cats DO actually kill quite some birds, but very often without us seeing it. AND- birds are also quite scared when cats are around, so they get much less offspring because of all that stress. And since these cats are an invention of men (and not the wild ones) AND they leave there faeces on my paths I’m no big fan I have to say. ,-).

He’s had many decades of occupying and enjoying that space. I think considering the feelings of a couple of people who will be paid to clear it up is a bit curmudgeonly. His space I’m glad he’s enjoying it.

Bunny, the audio is VERY difficult. Not sure why your guest did not clip the mic on his shirt. Sorry, but this garden is a mess despite the philosophy. Too much chaos.

Cats don't kill many birds? It's currently around 1.5 million a year in UK. Any use of Himalayan balsam like this is illegal as it can spread the invasive plant.

@@AlevelChemistrymadeeasy-q9j Yep - I completely agree with you concerning cats. I was going to comment about that. But cat owners don’t want to know what their cats get up to - they turn away.
