Creating a FLOWER FARM from scratch | how to make and plan new FLOWER BEDS | MY NEW GROWING AREA |

In this video I am talking through my new 360m2 growing area and how I failed to prepare it properly in 2019. This year I am going to show you how I'm taking an old grass field into productive flower beds.
Thanks you for visiting our new KZbin channel! I am Sarah business owner & flower farmer @ Bloom & Gray. I'm looking forward to sharing videos with you about flower farming life.

I love that her fingers are dirty and that what she is sharing is not over produced. It is good to have an authentic look.

I don't think I'm far from you . I'm a florist by trade but I'm making the jump this year to flower farm on our small farm . Your videos are really helping me get started just want to say thankyou .

My oldest daughter is building her own garden and gets my excitement over compost. My other 3 adult children do not see the appeal in a huge well rotted pile of sheep manure. But they will.

nice content

My hubby just got me a nice load of poo this week also!! 😂 It's the little things. Thanks for explaining the way you set up your field! That was really helpful for me!

[@bloomandgray]

Haha you’re so lucky, he’s a keeper! 😂

[@jennifermaxwell8869]

Great video! My husband and I are add a flower farm to our farm and I was trying to think of how to do this.

[@jennyjenks3806]

How did it go?

[@LilacDaisy2]

My plot is 40 x 10 metres (just plowed with mulch mixed through heavy clay), and I've mapped out 16 flower beds at 1.2 x 10 metres, with 80cm walkways between. With your walkways so narrow, I'd like to see how you harvest with your cart, so that I might copy your narrow paths and have more room for flowers. Perhaps I could alternate and have every 2nd path a thin one of 40cm. What a brain-wave. I'll have to do another map and see if it gets me a couple of extra beds! Thank you!

[@offthewallphotography3114]

haha love how excited you get over the "P00P" !!!! lol !!! your hubby is a keeper x great advise sarah, thank you x

[@bloomandgray]

Haha there’s nothing better than some good poop!!

[@colleenl.hackett1869]

Great video! Love the little plastic container idea for seed starts. I'm curious what the overhead on the containers was and where you sourced them? - If you are up for sharing. Sowing seeds for 3000 + flowers = the epitome of joy! I have a friend that uses strong dosings of effective microorganisms and weed block cloth to get an area clear of weeds and grass. Pretty effective, but does take a decent window of time. Cheers!

[@OrganicRawRootsFarm]

OOOOOOOHHHHH this is AWEEESOME.... thank you so much.

[@thewizardoftod]

Thank You

[@kaydiecreasey2307]

Goals💪🏻👏🏻

[@timwells3056]

Just found your Utube really good . I’ve got a load of flower seeds I’m going to start them on damp tissue . Can I sow indoors now in December as I’ve missed the proper time . Thanks tim

[@bonetaparrish1714]

Thanks for sharing! Wish you great success. :)

[@bloomandgray]

Boneta Parrish thanks Boneta!

[@daniellegrows2498]

GREAT INFORMATION!! Thank you for sharing this!!

[@simonmilner]

Good evening, great insight in to your farming, out of interest do you have a list of plants that you grow every year? Cheers

[@daveswords2112]

Great video. What do you think to a moveable polytunnel for flower protection only when they need it. Looking forward to ur next jadam video. Thanks

[@TP-cx1il]

Hi, can you explain how you make the soil blocks and what you use as a growing medium, apologies if you’ve answered this elsewhere, only just found your channel. Very interesting channel btw😄👍👍

[@bloomandgray]

Hi, I have done a video on soil blocks however it was the first video I made so it’s not great! I think an update is due soon. Glad you enjoy 😊

[@hollythurgood553]

Thank you, this is so helpful. Are you going to put your micro soil blocks into the mini ones when they grow bigger? How do you fit these into your greenhouse?

[@bloomandgray]

Glad you found it helpful Holly! I am going to put them into pots or the large soil blocks. I will start hardening them off at this point too so some can go outside. I usually end up bodging some extra staging as well as space becomes tight 😂

[@taladraper2484]

Love ur videos! Super helpful, quick one, how long do u age ur pony poo before using in flowerbeds? Thanks heaps

[@bloomandgray]

Usually 2 years at least 😁

[@elsadaughters142]

Thank you for this video. We are starting a flower field right now and this video is really helpful. Can you please give me an advice where I can buy a greenhouse like yours? Or the Polytunnel? Thank you very much!

[@jennyjenks3806]

How is it going?

[@Chips_not_fries]

Can you not just cover the area with silage tarps to block out the light and kill off the weeds? Nice videos, keep up the great info😁

[@giancolabird]

Agreed! I used the heavy plastic, then pulled it up, (to use elsewhere), and put down cardboard with lots of manure and organic hay. It worked! My veggies were prolific and beautiful. Sprays of any kind are forbidden on my land.

[@meerkatmalone5064]

Do you leave room for aisles when planning out your flower field?

[@bloomandgray]

Yes theyre very narrow

[@Divinefemininemiracles]

Hi there sorry if you have answered already where do you source the plastic boxes please? Thank you I’m a new sub 🥳🌸

[@bloomandgray]

Hi Mary, I get them from Asda 😁

[@Divinefemininemiracles]

Oh thanks thought you might have bought wholesale somewhere...

[@601salsa]

The weed killer is why it didn't take when you direct sowed. It would have been better to cut the turf off, lay down cardboard, add manure and top soil

[@NovaJames_Homegrown]

Will you please share the link to where I can buy the containers you used for your soils blocks? I’d love to try this method, I already have soil blocks. Also I’m starting my flower farm from scratch this coming spring! Loving that you made a video for this! It’s also in a grass field. I’ve planted cover crops already and plan to use the no dig method. Glad our philosophies align. Love watching your videos! Please link up and follow my channel as well, we could be flower pals! Thanks for sharing!

[@andrewswatland4622]

What’s with the Norwegian hat?

[@lindaboardman5084]

I will have to watch multiple times while I'm converting meters to feet. American here. No metric system....that would be too easy

[@orchidgarden3124]

Sorry, you lost me on spraying to kill all the weeds and grass 😔

[@ainsygray]

just found your channel very helpful , Bought the module tray , been looking for something like this bought it through your shop link not been able to find these in the shops at all so really should help a lot , I started selling plants during lockdown last year after homegardening for 3 yr previous , ainsworth.Joshua Instagram

[@Pomodoromarzano]

Sorry but when you said you used glysophate you lost me!

[@giavroumsas6329]

Why all Americans talk toooooo much in all videos with no reason ?
