My biggest makeover yet | part 11 - real, tough, satisfying gardening.

Hello everyone,
Well this was TOUGH work. Sometimes gardening isn't always about pushing a lawn mower or using a whipper snipper...sometimes you just have to dig deep (pun intended) and work hard! That was definitely the case with this visit. I didn't like how the garden beds were looking just by pulling the weeds by hand so I made an executive decision to dig out as much as I could so the owners could use the raised beds as veggie patches.
Apologies for not getting subtitles up on my intro yet, I am still figuring out the best way to do this and it is also fairly time consuming and extra spare time is hard to come by at the moment.
If this is the first time you are watching this series, welcome! I did originally being this work and was charging the clients but over time their disability support funds dried up so they were no longer able to continue paying me. I advised them that as long as they were happy for me to continue recording my work and I come in 2-3 hour blocks around my schedule, I would keep working free of charge.
This is possible thanks to the revenue I am earning through KZbin advertising as well as the Buy Me A Coffee website I have created, the link to this page is below:

It seems unlikely that the homeowners will be growing vegetables in those beds if they have physical limitations. Could you just remove the wooden edges and spread out the soil so it could be seeded with grass seed? Will this yard be getting regular maintenance after you finish the initial cleanup?

[@rachelgetz7311]

I thought the same thing. I realize it might be beyond his scope of work but removing the garden beds and even the stakes around them would make the area much nicer looking and easier to maintain.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Yes I will be maintaining it moving forward.

[@brendajohnson6910]

Since it's obvious that their gardening days have ended, wouldn't it have been nice to dismantle those beds and fence posts to create a nice green lawn to look at and remove the trip hazards. One can always dream...... Nice job!

[@rachelgetz7311]

I second this!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

There's always more than can be done for sure. My job here is just to tidy. If they are looking for landscaping then I'd have to quote them for that.

top job mate!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thanks mate!

[@vickigreen2981]

Such hard work! Amazing

[@brotoubrotou3164]

I haven’t finished watching yet but you need a kneeling pad and gloves. Leaning like you were doing is a great way to injure your back. A garbage can lying on its side would also minimize the bending and standing. Work gently for your back. People with bad backs worry about things like that.

[@larryfeeks6620]

You work so hard and it shows! Looking better and better!

[@bethsmith9124]

Amazing transformation overall! I hope the client is in a position to maintain their yard now, or will hire you to keep it up.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

They have expressed that they wish me to maintain it moving forward 🙂

[@TheGovernessDeanerys]

Incredible attention to detail such a great talent Ryan

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Why thank you 😇

[@janababuljakova2534]

Ano je opravdu vidět, že máš rád výzvy. Tady to bylo Ryane náročné s tím kopáním země a následným čištěním od plevele. Ani se nedivím že chodíš do posilovny. Já bych v ní musela být každý den😊. Ale už se to hezký rýsuje a doufám že majitelům se to líbí??? Děkuji držím ti palce, jen moc lituji, že neumím anglicky. 🏅🏆💯👍👏🌿🥰

[@myraholmes1178]

Crumbled cookies make the best pie crusts (tee hee). You work so hard to make things look so good. But I wondered about your back after pulling all those weeds and using that hoe to dig. You have to be strong to do what you do. Always watching, Ryan

[@lumia43]

Kilof, to służy do rozbijania skał, albo kamieni, tutaj to lepsze są widły, do takiej pracy...

[@patkcalifornia8301]

You know what just struck me, Ryan? Since you cleared these garden beds the first time, up until this latest clean-up, I haven't seen any indication that the owners have made any attempt to use them. That got me wondering if ground level gardening is just too hard on the old back to do much of anymore? I wonder if they'd be able to garden in comfort if they had 3' tall planter beds (I've heard them referred to as Gentleman Planters)? Say three beds, 3-4' wide by 8' long with minimum 2' aisles between them so they could be accessed from all sides. It'd keep the dog out of them, too! My own beds are 2' tall, and I swear by them ... only a little bending with absolutely no getting on my knees. My two cents!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Great idea! Might have to speak with them about this.

[@pennyneal2456]

I love listening to the birds while you work. Much more sunshine coming into the yard now. Well done, Ryan.

[@olgadodge4904]

You know that no matter how hard you work, the weeds always have the last laugh.😅

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Sadly true.

[@Dean734]

Looking forward to it 😊

[@suzanneyoung6273]

Great work Ryan. The garden beds came up beautifully. Perhaps you might think about wearing a hat now, as the sun is starting to warm things up. Fair skin is what it loves most. Sunburn is not a good thing in your profession.

Add a high factor sunscreen to that and long sleeved shirt! 😮

Yes definitely will now.

[@nancylangley338]

I actually really enjoyed this video of you hand weeding the boxes. We basically did ours the same way. A lot of the other guys just whipper snipper everything down and it will grow right back. I enjoy you so much because you do it the right way.

Ryan, your work is just excellent.🌞👍I like the intro along with your commentary on the work you do. There's nothing boring about watching the work being done properly! Im a believer in pulling weeds out with the roots. Cultivating those garden beds certainly made them look good again and those happy chirping birds made it all just delightful.🐦❤️🏡

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@KristinaMaxx]

I found out fm another content creator that you don’t get total credit when the video is fast forwarded by the viewer, however, if the viewer increases the viewing speed, you get full credit. It can be done easily by tapping the settings wheel and adjusting the viewing speed. Cheers 🎉

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Oh thank you for this, I'll be sure to let me viewers know 😄

[@rachelgetz7311]

I pretty much watch all videos on 2x speed, I love it. Just keep in mind that some videos on 2x can look like the person is being rough when they aren’t but you will get used to it and be able to recognize when actually being rough vs just looking rough because of higher speed.

[@kmcfarlane4038]

Hi Ryan, new intros are good. really enjoying this series and pleased to hear there'll be at least 1 more video to come! Any chance you could do a final walk through the whole property in the very last video?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Yes absolutely will do!

[@debracollins9133]

It might be a lot of work, but hand weeding those beds is the best. I have done that many times and know it’s a lot of work and makes your back cramp. The finish is so worth it. Loving your new intro! I just really enjoy all your videos. You are so talented and have a great work ethic. Be safe out there, and I’ll see you on the next one. ❤️
