Loved being part of this; something that's going to really endure over the years and I'm sure it's going to be beautiful!

[@spoonsandspades]

Saw you at the railway gardens on the weekend and it reminded me that the new book is out soon - I am so looking forward to it!

[@callmeMsT]

I love Niall and his gardening channel. So nice to see that you work together.

[@JBNat]

Wonderful showcase of the winter border Liz! It already looks absolutely brilliant, I think the dogwood is still my favourite but I can't wait to see this develop over time.

[@LizZorab]

Thanks so much! 😊 And thank you for keeping going even when it was raining quite so hard!

[@barbarahimmelbauer-mayer340]

It's nice to hear the stories of your plants. Your garden is full of good memories!

[@spudsandroses]

Lovely collection of plants 💚 great for Niall and JB to step up and help out 🙌

[@lisaskilton3746]

ooh the sarcococca is also Naill’s favourite evergreen for its scent! the area is going to look amazing! Well done to JB & Naill for their help!

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Liz, very kind of JB and Nile for planting your plants 👍 you have been very busy, it is going to look really good when everything is in full growth. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@swissmiss8171]

Glad to see you are feeling well again and have had some helping hands in your garden. Have been learning a lot from your videos, thank you and greetings from Switzerland. The weather here has been gray and cold for so long, can’t wait for spring to finally come and get outside again in the garden.

[@LizZorab]

I think it's going to be a long haul to get back to full health, but I do feel cheerful, so that's the main thing.

[@LorraineG123]

Liz it's going to be fantastic when it develops. The smells passing by will be beautiful. Fairplay to the lads helping out. Well done, you will be rewarded so well in the long run , good money spent.

[@stevendowden2579]

its going to look great well done liz

[@gardenonthemoors]

It's going to look great! Really interesting that the membrane will break down, hopefully the plants will be big and bushy themselves by then 😊

[@LizZorab]

The membrane is corn starch based, no plastics and I hope that in three years the shrubs will be casting plenty of shade onto the ground and minimise weed growth - although the weeds in this field are all ferocious in their capacity to spread, so they may have crawled/grown over the membrane by then!

[@irishcottagerenovation9900]

Thanks for great video, it’s so nice you are showing that patience will pay off and you don’t have to spend a fortune to create a garden. Love the idea of matting. The plant choice is wonderful and can just imagine the different fragrances throughout the year.

[@jonathanharvey4879]

Sarcococca AKA Christmas box. I have this planted by my front door and love being greeted by the sweet cent during the winter months.

[@LizZorab]

Oh I bet that's lovely!

[@hikerlindacanadianrockies8478]

How nice of Niall and JB to help out!

[@CardsbyMaaike]

Hi nice to the guys came to help! The council planted Hypericum in our town and it's more weed than shrub as I have to pull it out everywhere as it likes to reseed prolifically, but it is pretty, just pesky ;- )

[@MyFantasyHomestead]

Very exciting, looking forward seeing it in summer when the plants are awake! :)

[@LizZorab]

You and me both! And by next winter, the plants should be big enough to give us a little colour and fragrance 💚

[@adysveggarden]

It's going to give you a lot of colour through the seasons, I remember when you did your moving videos and you had all those pots. Have you ever consider growing a compost border? filled with the likes of comfrey, borage, phacelia and lupins.

[@LizZorab]

Compost border has been created on a larger scale (paddock size) in an area that I don't show on KZbin. About half of our land is off-limits to the camera, but I may show a section of it during the summer to demonstrate it.

[@MarvinNL]

So very interesting and inspirational, thank you for sharing

[@LizZorab]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wendit8226]

Hi Liz, What a wonderful selection of plants. Looking forward to seeing this develop over time. I have a small bank at the front of our garden in our new home. It already has a few established shrubs, but there is still lots of spaces for more. Would you have a list of all the shrubs you have planted there please? I couldn’t write all the names down, well to be honest, half of them I’ve no idea how the are spelt! Many thanks x

[@LizZorab]

I'll try to get a blog post written with the plants listed in it. Keep an eye on my website bytherfarm.com/garden-blog

[@sueanonymous6332]

Hi! I enjoy your videos and find them very informative. Being in the US, I have to ask a question about the UK. I just finished watching seasons 1 and 2 of Clarkson's Farm and wonder if there really are so many rules, restrictions, and different committees that have to give approval for any land use? I found the show amusing but I was just curious about how much of that was true. Thank you for your helpful videos!

[@LizZorab]

It's all true, but bear in mind that the program is designed to entertain and not necessarily give a 100% accurate view of farm life. And he is not a farmer, but an entertainer.

[@louise2209]

I’ve taken a lazy person’s approach to cuttings as even when I try the ways other people successfully take them, something seems to go wrong (with a few exceptions like lavender). I cut lots of potential cuttings and stick in a pot of soil and hope for the best. If more than I need take, I’ll try find new homes for them, but I think I’ll be lucky to get one or two…

[@LizZorab]

Sounds less 'lazy' and more 'sensible' to me!

[@dn744]

Awsome 😉

[@LizZorab]

Thanks 🤗 I'm really looking forward to seeing this fill out and develop over the coming months and years.

[@dn744]

@@LizZorab I started cuttings off blackcurrants, redcurrant and white, plus red and green gooseberry plants 5 years ago. I thought this will take ages to get going. Now, they are between 3 and 5 ft tall. 180 ish in total. Last year, I got 67kg in fruit, 42kg the year before, so I am looking forward to seeing what this year does. 😄

[@sarashrimyrabicknell208]

It's the gardener's dilemma - time or money. I'm starting with smaller plant like you are, Liz. I just hope I live here long enough to see it come to fruition. That said I believe I've planted all the perennials, so it's just a matter of patience and filling in gaps that may develop. We're coming up on season 3 here @2catsfarm. Love your channel!

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

Looks lovely! You have done so much since you moved in! you must be full on all the time lol

[@duzoni]

Dear Liz, I saw you in another KZbinr's video (and your Australorps). I came here to ask you where I could get some (we have a small new flock of birds in South Wales), but as I browsed through your channel & site I realised I found gold. Subscribed immediately to two of your channels. I'd still be interested in Australorps, also thinking about quail, and of we find an unused land or can do some projects on someone else's farm, a couple of dairy sheep... Do you have Australorps to sell or where would you yourself get them please? God bless, David

[@LizZorab]

Hi David, try joining the Australorp Breeders UK and Ireland group on Facebook, you should get info there about birds for sale.

[@duzoni]

@@LizZorab great tip, I never thought of that, thank you!

[@nealturnbull3273]

Where did you get your cornstarch weed membrane from? I’ve been looking for some for ages now. Thanks in advance 😊
