I tried growing veg in hoop houses, but hadn't prepared for THIS!

Hi all 👋 Despite storm Kathleen and contradicting windy weather reports, last weekend I decided to fight it and plant all the vegetable seedlings I had ready in every one of my super strong hoop houses.
As I'm fairly new to growing veg (or at least having a kitchen garden), I've had to constantly do hours of research for spacings, companion planting, etc.
And all was going great for a few days on our first ever farm - no sign of pests or break-ins to my raised protected raised beds, until I realised we had problems.
I also film an update on the Boltardy beetroot, Nantes carrots, Lisbon spring onions, main and early crop potatoes.
Here's what I planted & used:

Add a strip of copper tape around the outside of the raised beds. It'll reduce issues with slugs. I say reduce, rather than remove, as eggs often get transferred in within soil and compost.

Copper doesn't work to repel slugs and snails, it has been tested many times and you can find plenty of videos on youtube. Egg shells don't work as well. You are better off buying some organic blue pellets, those kill them off quite effectively.

Fab garden! I commented a few videos back when you were planting carrot seed. They need to be kept moist. I noticed at both 2:50 and again at 23:40 the soil in the carrot bed looked dry. I still suggest that you dampen the rows and place boards upon them for better germination. Or experimant on a few rows.

I’m trying Diatomaceous Earth this year to cut down on scorpions, but it does work with snails and slugs. I don’t mind killing the scorpions, but I really like the idea left here about copper tape on the edges to keep the others out. Things still land on the leaves, but my garden is so small anything being nibbled is removed as soon as I see it. I’d watch any videos you make. Shorts too. You’re living my tiny farm dream. Undoable in a desert. I just don’t do other social media.

Nettles are a great source of fertiliser also comfrey if you have any (and it's free). Find an area that you don't need that has nettles and just leave it alone. You can harvest from it and the insects love it. It seemingly makes an edible soup (never tried it) the cooking kills the sting. 🤔👍 P.s. Our peas never reach the kitchen, they're eaten straight off the vine, yumm.

It's always worth remembering about letting nature do it's thing. If you cover your crops, there is a chance that slugs, aphids etc will still get into your beds but as the beds are covered the birds that eat the slugs etc can't get at the pests to eat them. Nature is a wonderful thing. Love your videos whatever that are about, gardening, woodwork, lofts etc.

I just built another small raised bed, I wish I had the land you have, 2.4m x 1m and my neighbour supplied my with eight 20l bags of top soil. My dog Apollo is obsessed with the new top soil and keeps trying to eat it. Smelling the top soil is smells a little like cow so I am guessing the secret ingredient was cow manure. Apollo has previous with that stuff as on a wall in Wales (on lead) he decided to scoop up a fresh pat, he was munching away as it hung out of his mouth. Thank goodness I had control of Zeus that was stepping around them. Dogs are the oddest creatures at times.

On the topic of spacing. I've definitely landed firmly in the camp of; ignore row spacing measures. The space between each seed/transplant is important but the row spacing (which is always far wider than the plant spacing) is largely a measure of mechanical farming. The spacing is intended to allow you to run certain equipment between the rows without disturbing the plants. In a home garden (particularly raised beds) where you aren't running tractors over your beds.... row spacing is meaningless, use the plant spacing for both. Some may argue against this and they might be right but I've never run across an issue packing those beds a little fuller.

Personally I find dealing with slugs and snails the best way is to do a late night circuit of your garden with a torch and pick them off or use beer traps. I find copper and other barriers pretty ineffective unfortunately even though they are popularly recommended.

You might regret that configuration of raised beds and hinged hoop houses. Ideally you don’t want to be on your knees and over reaching. Your back won’t thank you for it. A French Chenille hoop house system would be better for accessing your raised beds from both sides but still allow you to use a variety of different covers. You could do with a path to walk through the long line of hoop houses to encourage you to walk to the other side to access the other side of the raised beds instead of over reaching. Transplant your seedlings a lot deeper into the soil. Sow a lot of sunflowers and sweetcorn on a different patch of land. This will help you grow lots of browns (dried stalks) for your compost material. Whether you direct seed or grow in modules is up to you but you need to grow browns. Don’t forget to harvest seeds from your sunflowers and sweetcorn (as long as they are open pollinated varieties) so you never need to buy seeds again. Same goes for your other veg.

With a covered raised bed that stops birds getting to the soil, I feel safe in using slug pellets. A more expensive but effective method is to buy the predatory nematodes that target slugs. The other tip is to raise plants to a larger size before planting them out. Also I find some plants seem less likely to be targeted by slugs. For example red leaves lettuce seem to be ignored by slugs for some reason. Or at least Hertfordshire slugs seem to avoid them! Cut worms are a b**ger. hope your organic treatment works! I do not bother thinning out beetroot’s, of course it’s down to personal choice, but I find they all grow to a reasonable size. You can twist out golf ball size ones leaving others go get larger if that’s your thing. Mind you I am all for avoiding jobs!

Hi, I ordered 2 types from Premier Netting. This is the ultrafine £1.49 a metre premiernetting.co.uk/catalog/insect-mesh-woven-ultrafine-net-1m-2m-or-3m-wide-by-the-metre.html And the fine (1.6mm hole weave) 98p a metre premiernetting.co.uk/catalog/insect-netting-fine-woven-mesh-1-6mm-by-the-metre.html I did see some flea beetles on my Pak Choi the other night through the cheaper weave (not seen since though), so would try and get the ultrafine next time if feeling flush

Both are strong though. You could drop them a message for samples first before ordering as I did

Does make me chuckle when KZbinrs say "this is not sponsored, I paid my own money". By inference it's a genuine recommendation as opposed to something they're just paid to say. No offence meant, just a bit amusing
