I literally rewatch these so I don't forget anything. A gardening genius 🎉

[@LosianOne]

I'm not even vegan and don't have plans on ever being vegan but I have so much respect for this man and what he does. If everyone only grew some of their own crops.

[@tnijoo5109]

If you watch the movie “What the Health” you might become vegan overnight. After I went vegan I was just stunned I hadn’t done it sooner.

[@erinbranham4880]

I’m not a vegan either, I’m an omnivore, you don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy fresh home grown produce.

[@shontaineweetrahodshon8244]

Im a meat eater but even I still love the idea of having fresh homegrown veggies it’ll make me wanna eat more veggies I reckon

[@sachiekat1238]

Same here I'm not vegan but I'm planning on growing my own food like this but also chickens and hunting

[@Janusz84]

so as I dude! I'm a typical meat eater but i do have respect for this man for all his job! this is trully fantastic what is he doing...

[@OceanGraves]

Your garden is awesome! I love the use of space and utility. The recycling of items and using them as garden pots and tools is great, and really inspiring (as a small space growing myself).

[@gabriellawilkosz6112]

Wow the mini composting station interplanted in beds and pots is such a sick idea! Will definitely be giving that a go!

[@doubledee7517]

Excellent overview of your garden,You pack a lot in a small space 👏 brilliant, some great ideas I will use 👍

[@jeffreyrobert488]

I bought your book today at our local book store in the state of maine in the usa i recently found your videos and was blown away thank you for sharing your life and knowledge with us all it means the world

[@DB-fw2sz]

Watching with my 3.5 year old and learning from your passion. He is keen to replicate the hanging strawberry plants in our garden :-)

[@rowinggranny5216]

What you grow in your garden is incredible, I love watching these videos because they are packed with practical ideas. Thank you..

I love how you recycle your neighbour's rubbish!! I often find freebies on the side of the road and reuse them in the garden!! Saves so much land waste for sure!!

I started my own garden this year. I live near a pretty busy street in urban area and my garden is not a huge one but I will try to get something out of it. Thank you for creating such useful content! Its truly inspirational and helps people like me who want to grow their own veggies in the city 💚

[@helenhawkins4054]

Just wonderful, well done you.🤗👍✅

Such an inspiration, sometimes we complain about the “cost” to have a garden but with recycled materials we can work out an outstanding solution. My like an subscription for this channel.

[@judifarrington9461]

Oh, what a lovely garden! Love the fire pit.

[@grumpy_poo]

Lots can also be grown in pots so If you have to move home the pots go too. Do you find using spent mushroom compost you also get the odd few random mushrooms as a bonus? Love the bamboo idea.

We're starting our garden this year. It's small, and we don't have much... but hopefully we can just build on it and make it more lush each year.

You are an inspiration! I'm sorting my garden right now! My aim is herbs and basic veggies for now! Im also growing a flower garden or the bees and butterflies! It feels so good to be outside in the sun 🌞 thank you for posting your stories and being so positive. Xx ps. Do you have any tips for killing off Japanese knot weed? I don't want to use chemicals if I can help it, nothing seems to work.

[@SpicyMoustache]

I'm glad to hear you are spending time in the garden. Aw to be honest I never had that issue before but I heard a property could even loose value if infested by it

[@Juice4Y0U]

Did you know you can eat it like rubarb when it's young? Pretty tasty! I've had it all over my city backyard. It thrives in places with compacted ground or where there is a lot of pavement etc aka a city :p (it's native habitat is volcano rock) so maybe when you improve the soil and take away stones and keep eating it, other plants will take over. Good luck!

[@sherlockstu]

My garden is about 3 times the size of yours. I’d love for you to come and do a video of how I can maximise my yield here based on where I am. I live in Somerset. 👊 love your videos, just bought your book 🙌

What sorts of

[@craignicholson5065]

Vood chips 😂😂😂

[@itsmypukapuka4710]

Lovely. But I would not eat anything from that front garden, honestly. The road is too close, everything is covered with toxic exhaust waste and dust that was chrurned up by the cars. I would plant everything edible in the back or build a greenhouse for the front to protect them as much as possibly can from the pollution.

[@wemuk5170]

My hubby said the same. But Spicy Moustache isn’t allowed a greenhouse in his front garden in London. The council will never let him build one in front, as that would be contrary to their planning permission rules. Edit: Guy Barter of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS chief horticulturist) was once asked by London’s Evening Standard, what science says about the safety of urban gardening. He replied that there is no problem with growing near roads or railways, provided the soil itself isn’t contaminated, such as in places that used to do metal works or gasworks. If the soil might be contaminated, then he advised, growing in raised beds or bags.

[@itsmypukapuka4710]

@@wemuk5170 Petrol/gas contains lead and other nasties. This itself should be more than enough not garden so near the road. (Anyone with 2 healthy braincells would avoid planting stuff so close to the road.) And then there is the road itself, which is made of pitch, asphalt or tarmac, and majority of city-installed asphalt has toxic levels of petroleum and other oils that are pulled up through plants. So these are circulating in the air all day, every day, to finally settle on the top of the soil, which you have your edibles in. So you are going to water them, and wash all the stuff down into the soil. You can have all the raised beds you want, if the this is what happens anyway. It's logic. In the light of that, don't care what Guy Bartel or whoever says to be honest. Even the London's water is contaminated with lead in most places, because the water carries pipes haven't been changed since they were laid in the ground. I would not plant in the front, nothing edible, not even herbs. Especially not herbs, that you will season your food with, of drink it as a tisane or tincture. That's all I am saying.

[@hefner1322]

Why don't you move out the city? And have a bigger garden and more of an impact. Why limit yourself

[@MCSTINKYWEINER]

Living in the city has benefits

[@pablodavidclavijo4609]

how much time on average you have to dedicate to your garden in order to produce a sufficient amount of food?

[@SpicyMoustache]

It really depends on the size of your garden, season, what is "sufficient" for you, etc. but for my garden, I would say not much during the winter except for a few times a week checks and almost every day after or before work in full growing season. It is such a nice feeling spending time there that I can't wait to finish work to start watering and checking it =)
