AN UNBELIEVABLY SUCCESSFUL DAY! / ALLOTMENT GARDENING UK

[@gardenheiress1990]

Rocky wants all the loves and attention!! He’s adorable!

[@christianahug3765]

Rocky's head butting you. In cat, that means you're part of his colony and he's marking you with his scent to say you belong to him and you're safe :)

[@ClaireRousseau]

I honestly got so excited for you when I saw the giant pile of woodchips in the thumbnail!! What a cracking day for you 🎉

[@bewoodford2807]

Rocky probably wants treats/food and some cuddles, bless him. Happy gardening 🙂

[@donnasymons1872]

Ricky sounds Siamese. He's after food. He is a bit skinny.

[@sarah3136]

​@donnasymons1872 That's just her breed, she's fine 😊 Yes he is a she 😅

[@CrazyCatWoman1]

Give Rocky some affection. He obviously adores you. You are so privileged to have a cat do that.

[@sarah3136]

Good ol' woodchip! 😆 You've been really upbeat and cheerful in your last few videos Emma, really hope all is great for you at the moment, lovely to see. Rocky is just being affectionate, he likes you x

[@faithdethier8207]

When you make the compost heap. DONT put in the bindweed!

[@margaretalice6343]

I envy you for having free wood chip deliveries to your plot. How amazing to create paths with that 🤩

[@bluereign]

Your plot can arrange it with your local tree surgeons for free.

[@vanessaeden8174]

We used wood chip on our allotment for the first couple of years but the weeds kept growing through despite putting a barrier underneath. Now have replaced the woodchip with stones from the allotment beds.❤

[@pc1189]

I was excited about the wood chips for you Emma ! 👏👏 Rocky likes you and head butting means pay attention and pet me😻

[@2ndstarfromtherightsolas881]

looks fab Emma 😁 just great to have paths all done before winter! What a great cucumber, well done you! Think Rocky is looking for some nibbles. He's a lovely cat, he so happy to see you. Cats d'ont choose just anybody 😄

[@SMRetired]

It always surprises me that out of 6,116 views, there are only 742 (so far) likes. If people would just press the 'like' button, that would be a great help to Emma, who, lets face it, works hard to entertain us with her fabulous, funny Vlogs. Thankyou Emma 🙂

[@lynnewallace6027]

I'm with you on the excitement for woodchip. We had a huge delivery on Monday aswell & I was so excited to see it. 4 hours back & forth with a total of 15 wheelbarrow loads & my pathways are now all topped up again. It really makes such a difference to your plot.

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Starting my morning with coffee & your humor…smile. Love the excitement over wood chips! I can relate!

[@KraftyKaren-7]

YAY!!! Woodchip!!! Score!!! Lol, Hello Einstein and Rocky💜 cats are always wanting to get ALL of your pets and attention, and will stop at nothing for your attention, well and snacks lots of snacks lol😂 that sweater toy way so funny to find in your allotment, maybe the red fox brought it to play with and left you at present lol. Congratulations on the cucumber, hope you get many more before it gets too cold there. Have a great rest of your day. Karen from Arizona

[@lesleyannehall8040]

I totally get the wood chip excitement. We got some on Monday and I nearly killed myself in the heat getting enough for my plot 🤣

[@annetteperks]

Sun blue sky's and wood chip what more does anyone need. Brilliant. 😂

[@robinroseberry]

Thank you ! Today was a very exciting and eventful day !

[@linasjostrand4034]

U need to check out a "hot bed" or "compost plantbed"! It is a tall plantbed that is full of not-completly-broken-down-compost, witch, makes it hot, to keep on growing in the winter when it gets really cold

[@margaretalice6343]

Thanks Emma as always 🤩

[@lindabuchan5855]

Well done Emma with the chips, it’s like finding gold, god rocky always causes bedlam at the plot knocking things over, it is so funny, hope you enjoy your cucumber ❤

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Emma, YAY for wood chip! Enjoy your harvest. Blessings luv southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

[@randiburrell6523]

You are so fun to watch☺️always cracking me up. Thank you sweets. We planted 1watermelon this year. It has 5 melons on it!! It growing in our front yard😂😂 wack it in. As you say😂😂😂🎉🎉💂💂🐿️🐿️ Cincinnati , Ohio

[@MomPuff-b9w]

Dear Emma I’m so happy for all the fresh mulch!! Rocky can take care of rats in your allotment!! 🤗🦋❤️🇺🇸

[@gordonholding5621]

You need at least 2 large compost bins. Fill one and leave it for 6 months while you fill the other one. Have bins which let in air. Keep them moist but not saturated. Bury your kitchen scraps in them but not meat. If possible add some cow horse or chicken manure. Turn your piles occasionally to make sure the microbes in them get air. If it smells it is too wet,

[@clarefoskett9959]

I love a bit of old wood chip! Lovely 😊😊😊😊

[@petro3441]

Congrats on the cucumber harvest. Enjoy❤

[@helenprocessofgrowing8007]

A day for woodchips,I collected bags of it on my way onto the allotment and when I was leaving another pile had been dumped..yay for woodchip.

[@TheMegaross91]

My plot always gets massive piles of woodchip. Bags of spent hops. Food compost from the military academy. And loads of pallets/ shipping crates from the double glazing supplier opposite. It's allotment nirvana. My first plot had nothing of the sort 😂 I always use scrap chippings from roadworks for my paths (as I don't like replacing) but I use woodchip for levelling, mulching and balancing my compost bins. It's so useful!

[@margaretalice6343]

Love Einstein. I have robins turn up when I’m having a morning coffee outside reminding me to fill the trays with meal worms & fill the water trough. They come so close to me throughout the day sometimes to remind me to check the mesh trays & the water. I have peanuts & 2 great suet pellet feeders in the shape of a red cap mushroom (only small birds can feed) so there’s always food but dried worms are a preferred option for my robins. Such a wonderful site ❤

[@LTMarshall]

That’s how my cat behaves when he’s hungry 😂😂😂

[@lindajones3015]

Yah! Woodchip! Love it! I think Rocky wants feeding. He looks really scrawny 😢

[@sarah3136]

Rocky is fine, it's the breed, sleek 😊

[@markhildred2456]

Pro-tip for next time. Tip the barrow into the side of the pile at 45 degrees or so and just shovel push to fill it. Takes seconds. (learned whilst doing 100s barrow fulls while volunteering for a woodland trust)

[@JenniMBE]

When you squeaked the dog toy my dog ran straight up to the computer looking for the toy. It was so funny

[@StephenUren-qb6ff]

My radishes always get eaten every year, spinach and cucumbers are great! I'm jealous!

[@wendymitchell4004]

Rocky is a siamese cat ..very vocal ..he's wanting your attention 😊

[@jpennturner]

A great day!

[@Vanjonsorz]

Leave anything long enough and it will compost. Lazy composting is great !

[@Lynne-plot35b-36b]

Yyaayyy the only thing more exciting that a steaming pile of wood chip is a steaming pile of 💩💩💩especially when you’re the only one there. You snooze you loose! I would have got more though if it were me but hey ho. Also just realised that you never seem to label your sowings do you? Probably the fox has pinched the squeaky toy hand brought it for you to scare the crows away from you plot lol x Emma the plot looks fab. PS I think rocky wants some food lol also if he turns his back on you and bumps you with his head he trusts you. I’d take a box of cat biscuit to Lottie with you next time. Give him a scratch on the head and shoulders he’ll love it and you. Emma I look forward to joining you on your composting journey. You can make compost bays out of pallets if you can get your hubby to drop you7 pallets off you can make 3 compost bays in an nnn shape 4 sides and 3 backs all fastened together with zip ties. Simples. You need hubby to help you with this one though Emma. You can turn the pile of weeds you have into them leaving a space to turn into next year when it’s rotted down and it will do.

[@TheCluckingCoop]

Rocky! 😂🤣

[@Donna3037]

Congrats on the cucumber!!

[@kattrinahowe1868]

I'm jealous over your steaming pile of woodchip, gardening in Michigan I have the garden right in my yard however I am lucky enough to have neighbors that own horses, cows and chickens so I get the compost from them, all of my pathways are that black plastic.. Actually my entire garden is that plastic it does help with weeds! I call myself a lazy gardner 😅

[@KevinField-w6p]

i am very lucky my mate is a tree surgen so i do my paths with wood chip and cover some of the beds with it over winter

[@georgemartin9618]

Emma you need to build yourself a Johnson Su bio Reactor to process some of that delicious woodchip into compost.

[@RawLondonGardener]

Lovely stuff

[@RichardTaylorgardening]

Im waiting for my woodchip drop from a site called chipdrop as always happy gardening Richardx

[@Plot9.2]

Rocky wouldn’t hurt you, he only wants you to stroke him. That pile of weeds will break down, get some pallets and make compost bins, I had piles of weeds like that and it does break down, takes about a good year but it will compost.

[@VeraRadoch-su2wv]

This is "have you got something to eat" in cat language. And some head scratches please. Love your cucumber. Hope it'll not be bitter like mine. ❤

[@HopeFCharity]

Emma you can take that home and put it out for collection as it has bind weed in it. Bind weed should not be put on the compost as it will not get hot enough to kill it.

[@Michellemkm311]

Yay woodchip🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jaynekennedy8469]

You should put some wood chip in your compost

[@DragonflysWish]

Very excited for you 🎉 though squeeky toy, Einstein and Rocky triggered my dog and cats 😂😂

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

There you go..😂👍

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Em use your rake ! 👍❤️👍

[@lucrom1097]

Fantastisch Good work emmas you the best te moostiun te mulcing thans te video Top week grootjes ✔️👍🌞🧤🥦🥒😅🐈🌱💯%

[@clarehartland150]

That cat either thinks the camera is a toy or really doesn’t like it 😂

[@annsfrench]

You are so funny! Rocky wants you to rub the side of his head. You might not be able to get any gardening done if you start loving the cat! 😅

[@janicejones9942]

Buildabonfireburn most of it

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Buy some cat dried food and feed him. And give him a drink of water..👍❤️👍 He looks super skinny..

[@janebolton8971]

Trim up your radishes and rocky does meow a lot doesn't he/she😂😂

[@tracyfun6918]

That cat loves you get him some cat treats for God's sake lol xx

[@OrkWarbossThrakka]

You’ve left your scissors in the shed hanging up. Just your video reminder

[@sarah3136]

😂

[@pennythompson4790]

He wants some food xx

[@DGreg-li2sp]

If a cat shows you its butt it means it trusts you. If it headbuts you it likes you. It took me years to get my bindweed out - kept having to dig at it, however if you leave even a tiny bit of root it will regrow. Tried the trick of the soapy water spray with garlic and I hoped it would get rid of my cabbage aphids. No such luck though.

[@KevinField-w6p]

that cat is telling you your in his gang

[@ursulaclayton5787]

Are you not allowed to burn on your plot, we are now ,so much easier if you have lots, lovely vlog

[@user-oe7bw6cy8b]

👍

[@anthonyparkinson1056]

We don’t get any wood chips or compost deliveries to our allotment site nor fair !!!!😂😢😢

[@Valw517]

Was I the only one shouting….”Get on with it Emma…grab those wood chips….forget about filming!!”😅

[@ruthadams2413]

Rocky likes you and trusts you. He shows his bottom in a way to tell you that. He would never show his bottom to someone he didn't trust since it puts him in an unguarded position. Giving him a couple treats won't hope either

[@petro3441]

Woodchip🎉🎉🎉🎉like winning a lotto😂😂

[@christophergraham1857]

Is the woodchip actually there for your pathways or for mulch?

[@tracy6756]

What’s going on with the fur around the back of Rocky’s neck? Mites?

[@ryanhiley4301]

Stop using a shovel to dig the woodchip pile… take a biggish plant pot and scrape it off the top of the pile fill that then put it in the barrow… it’s faster and better than hitting a rock hard pile with a fork or spade

[@mogensdanielsen]

👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤

[@massriver]

I dig or drill hole bury trimmings back in bed; worms say yum

[@LucRom-kz5uw]

Fantastisch Good work Emmas you the best te moostuin te mulsing te tuin yes Top week thans te video grootjes 👍🍹🌤🌿😅🧤🪤🥦🌱🥒☘️🐈🌸

[@jefg8327]

Emma , next time take your rake to the wood chip pile , put your whell barrow on its side ane rake it in , takes seconds to fill .
