[@dk52817]

Great to see more people doing this these days.

[@ChristieCooper]

Agree!

[@chezelleconroy2951]

So good! Thanks girls, great tour, great chat, lovely produce!

[@ChristieCooper]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🫶🏼

Great to see how quickly Lizzie's tiny growing area has produced. That's got to inspire new would-be gardeners to give it a go. And don't hold out on us, that pickled zucchini recipe had better show up soon. 😊 Cheers!

[@ChristieCooper]

She’s done such a good job hasn’t she! Way more successful than my first attempt!

[@mickfalvey6045]

You guys could help cure me of my overthinking vegetable growing… I love lettuce in flower pots idea… and the dimensions of those raised beds couldn’t be better for my spaces. You cracked me up when eating the pasta…😂. Thanks 👏👏👏

[@ChristieCooper]

I might have to try the lettuces in flower pots too! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@janeballinger2117]

So fun!

[@ChristieCooper]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I get a bit annoyed when people ask about the cost of growing my own vegies. Cost is the least of my priorities in this case. The pure enjoyment, freshness and health benefits are much more important.

[@ChristieCooper]

Definitely!

Look into the magic of worm castings. Its the only thing you will use in your garden. Also look at Back to Eden gardening with Paul Gautschi it takes time to do but well woth it. I have use small containers and pots and use the Back To Eden gardening method. Grest videos

[@ChristieCooper]

Thanks for the tips! I use bought worm castings, have definitely been contemplating getting a worm farm too!

I think the mini olive trees would be best espaliered as so close to driveway. They would look great but wires are a bit $$$ Go Lizzy!

[@ChristieCooper]

Thanks for the tips!

Love seeing all this gardening success.. I'm totally not jealous at all! 😅 I may also be interested in you MIL's pickle zucchini recipe 🙂

[@ChristieCooper]

I’m thinking I might need to do a pickle video!

[@H-hr5rw]

what is the wood called that is used to create the garden bed? its like some sort of wooden corner blocks

[@ChristieCooper]

I believe it’s this one - www.bunnings.com.au/birdies-1200-x-480-x-300mm-heritage-modular-raised-garden-bed-kit_p3321354

[@sharnakeady484]

Why do you need to wait 2 weeks for the soil to settle before planting in it? Sorry for the ignorance. I am trying to learn.

[@ChristieCooper]

Not ignorant at all! I never let my soil rest simply because I’m impatient 😂 it helps to get rid of the air bubbles and lets it sink down to the level it will end up at, plus something to do with the microbes… it’s all a bit complicated! Maybe I should find an expert to interview about it and do a separate video 😊

[@paraselva9899]

Where to buy the veggie patch blocks?

[@ChristieCooper]

Good question... I'll find out for you!

[@ChristieCooper]

I'll have to ask her :)
