Geoffrey Smith's Allotment

One of the best gardening television presenters there has ever been, alongside Geoff Hamilton.

Many thanks 👌👍

He was my role model. Learnt so much from him as I was growing up. He was fantastic.

[@Ian-gw2vx]

This is wonderful. I haven't really watched Geoff Smith before. This has got to be from the 80s as he looks so young here. Thanks for sharing.

[@cherylprice1790]

This is brilliant to watch and learn from. Thanks for putting it on here for us.

Digging a trench. Skimming the weeds right into the trench. I’ve never seen that done. I’m the worst at planting a straight line. He makes it look easy and so much common sense. Thanks for sharing.

Inspiration for me as a young lad watching look north and an interest in growing vegetables…. Proper gardening

[@jonathangreenwood793]

Absolutely brilliant. So much knowledge and skill. OK some of it has been lost to time but nice to see a lack of chemicals used despite the era. I was growing up then and remember double digging our garden after we'd bought the house. My dad taught me well. Very interesting to see what techniques have stood the test of time and those that have passed by, He was a brilliant gardener.

was my favourite gardener what a treat to see him again

Hear hear

[@schneidertruckkaluhiokalan1382]

Happy New Year mate! Looking forward to more videos!!!

[@MikeSmith-tg1ku]

He knew his stuff. Gardening was in his blood. Already seen this but am looking forward to revisiting, was there a Geoffery Smith Fruit series only seen one programme of his on fruit

[@hrantgeorge2444]

I've taken to shaking my seeds with rooting powder, a dusting in envelop or small jar. Give 'em that extra grow push.

[@seanjamescameron]

Interesting, will try that.

[@hrantgeorge2444]

@@seanjamescameron I've also wanted to try using 'willow water', used to root cuttings as you know, for watering the trays and seedlings. Haven't had the opportunity though.

[@2frogland]

and now its pigeons around us that decimate any brassicas, they werent an issue in the 80s

[@steveflitton8903]

Ah yes! The great Geoffrey Smith. I think the trench digging method is not so much in favour these days and I certainly couldn't scrape off the weeds or dig with a spade. My soil is far too clay and full of flints. I wish my soil looked like his did.

Sean I'm not so sure this one is for Charles Dowdy....😮
