Just in case no one suggested it, you could "borrow" ducks and pop up electric fence around the areas you want them to feast in. The fence is super easy to move around and you could go patch by patch with them. The fox that happen to come by will not go near the electric fence. It really does help to knock back the slug population. Worth it to do a couple times a year if really bad. You will be amazed at the difference.

Amazing garden.....I'd like to add, I have a pond similar to yours, not as big though at the bottom of my garden and it too fills and empties many times a year. I pump to the top of my garden into a couple tanks when the pond is full. This year was extremely good so I only needed to fill the tanks twice to get me through those dry periods but before this setup I was using water from the house costing me $100 to $150 a year, so now my foods even cheaper. Cheers and happy gardening everyone, may you all be bless with lots of sun and a good soaking of rain every 3 days.

I have a Sunflower blooming down the side of my garden fence. I planted it very late, and it's survived and flowered. If we get some snow next week (was forecast here in Liverpool but now it isn't apparently) I'll get a video of it because I can't imagine there are many videos of massive Sunflowers in the snow 🌻😂

It's such a lovely garden to tour atound... Thank you for keeping it real and sharing the root fly, badgers, slugs, and pigeons... gardening without nasty chemicals poses fun challenges but is sooo rewarding.. Late spring here and very dry, with strong sunny days... my plant babies are loving and hating it at the same time.. Mulch has gone on early, but the heat has sorted many of the slugs... and the cabbage moths are out and about.. so nets and BT are on the list for this week... I'm off to find a Charles late spring tour and see what else I've forgotten!! Thankyou!

[@angelad.8944]

Lovely tour. So inspiring with winter looming. ☺ I just harvested the last of the Aspabroc(broccolini) yesterday. I planted it in semi shade way back in April and it has given me a weekly harvest the whole season. While I have rocket, I think the seed isn't always the type they say it is. I like it all so it is ok to get the surprise. 😅 Our September was like summer mostly, so my Chinese cabbage bolted and some of the choys. I just harvested some seeds so it isn't a total loss. The other really great side effect is that the bees have something to eat on the sunny days. Having flowers that come through the frost is so important for them this time of year. The frost hardy mustards, leafy greens and root veg varieties really keep us out of the grocery store this time of year. They are so worth it. Our fall has been mild enough that the cilantro is still growing. As long as the snow doesn't fly, it is still gardening season. 😁

I love that you show us things that haven't worked so well. One of the biggest obstacles I've found on our allotment is getting our 14 year old to come along and do something - until this time of year as he loves to wheelbarrow the manure to spread on our no-dig plot! We've cleared and covered half the plot already and will be putting cardboard and woodchip on our paths as we are still battling couch grass and spreading sorrel. This is my favourite time of year on the plot!

4:46 I like your resilience for pest dammage. I have a tendency to panick a little when I see damage like that in my garden. I will have to learn to ''live with it'' as you seems to do, but i'm sure its heartbreaking for your leeks. Thank you for sharing those experiences with us, good or bad, because this is what gardening is at the end of the day...

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Thanks. So right.

A quick tip for bugs - take a gallon jug and place 1 cup of raw milk or organic milk, ad 3 tablespoons of mollasses, fill the rest with water. Shake to mix, use a spray bottle and spray the underside of leaves and tops and also stems. Bugs cannot digest the sugar in mollasses so it kills them or makes the plants less desirable. The milk feeds the plants and the molasses adds potassium and other minerals.

[@pennyhewitt8801]

Started first no dig bed couple weeks ago, garlic planted and module broad beans ready to plant out. Bed feels wonderful. New bed made today but will need little time to finish snd that's OK. So inspired. Thank you. ❤

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

This is lovely to hear Penny, I look forward to hearing of how you get on 🙂

[@johnmorgan5495]

A joyful positive visit to end the year X

[@grahamcole1539]

Rooting Tomato side shoots is a little trick i learnt years ago and a good way to keep a variety going as you said and also doing it for extra plants in the Spring!

[@AlmostaGreenAcre-zs5eu]

Hi Charles. Towards the end of the video when you were in the greenhouse, I noticed behind you, white buckets with drilled holes in them. They had mushrooms growing on the sides of the buckets. Do you happen to have a video that I can watch about that? Great video and thanks for the garden tour. You have lovely garden beds and I also adore no dig gardening.

[@jbmaru]

Just harvested some small poratoes before the rain & winter

[@krazedvintagemodel]

Thank you Charles for your inspiration, insight and ideas! I'll be taking cuttings of my tomato plants because you mentioned it! Peace and Blessings to you and everyone 🌱🌻🍂

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

You are welcome and great to hear 🙂

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Your garden looks so bountiful. I need to focus on more succession planting. I did better this year than any other, and I am learning to utilize the new greenhouse too. Next year, I want to plan with more intention. Thank you for sharing your successes and problems.

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Thank you and you are very welcome and lovely to hear of your progress 🙂

[@0skar9193]

We have grown our leeks under enviromesh since the moment they sprouted. We limit the time we have the mesh off and so far, no leaf miner. We've lost entire crops to it in the past.

[@grahamcole1539]

Thank you for this Charles, always interesting and Inspirational! Have a good Winter.

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Thank you Graham

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

Great tour Charles, I love all of them. Oh how I miss eating parsnips :P I'm just sowing my carrots as well as cauliflower, beetroot and peas. 4th planting of cucumbers, corn and tomatoes this year. Thanks for posting.

[@lilaclilly198]

Everything looks so lush and green. I like what you did with your tomatoe side shoots. I will definitely try it. I love being on my allotment during Autumn. Actually I am on my way there now . I wear lots of layers. Great video Charles. Thank you for sharing. 🤗🙏🏼

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Nice and thanks

[@suzannelallen]

Good morning Charles! Thank you for sharing your garden tour with us! I found it very interesting! I purchased your compost book and I’m enjoying reading it. My next project will be my compost system.

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Great to hear this, thank you

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

@suzannelallen You wont be disappointed :) Get a worm bin going too :)

[@amandar7719]

I do so enjoy you sharing an update tour of Homeacres 🙏🏻. Really appreciate you taking the time. Hope pre-Christmas sales of your books and calendar do well.

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Glad you enjoyed it Amanda and thank you 🙂

[@user-sd4gq6jr4m]

Thank you, Charles, for all that you do. At the risk of embarrassing myself, I've been wondering why my tomatoes from saved seed haven't been the same for a couple of years. I didn't know what the F1 hybrid meant 😳 Will try your method next year.

[@chrisgartenn]

a few pigs in that pond for a couple of weeks fenced in will compact the soil & it should hold water

[@nickhammersonrocks]

WE GREATLY RESPECT SIR CHARLES’ WILL POWER TO NOT EAT THAT TURNIP ON CAMERA !!!!! WE WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THAT MUCH STRENGTH !!!!! THAT TURNIP LOOKED SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS !!!!! 😳

[@patriciahill1101]

Chervil is chervil in the US. Seed sources and cook books. I never heard of French parsley. Lovely tour Charles!

[@turtle2212]

Omg Sir Charles, I have not checked on my really beautiful looking leeks so far, fingers crossed the leek moth did not find it😮. Have a wonderful Christmas break. ❤

[@MichaelGawesebmainone]

Here in Namibia we had extreme heat, but getting signs of rain, though not quite. Any advise on dealing with red spider mite on mostly potatoes. They are killing plants before it flowers?

[@lytieuanh1993]

I love being on my allotment dủing autumn.

[@KPKENNEDY]

Have netted my leaks all season. We usually get allium leaf minor in November. Have not harvested them yet, but they are not showing any signs of infestation yet.

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

I love mustard greens very flavorful!.. any tips about keeping rocket from getting to hot and spicy? is it the light or the temp that causes it?

[@franksinatra1070]

It's nice to see I have a lot of the same things you still have in over here across the pond but on a much smaller scale of course. I'm very discouraged with my sprouts however as they are infested with grey aphids. Seems to happen to me every year. And they are so hard to cover due to their height. I'll have to try building a tall frame and getting a large piece of mesh for next year. I'm only growing around 8 plants so I should be able to build something. You don't have any other suggestions do you? Thanks Charles!

[@grumpy_poo]

I love your updates....I have veg bed envy..... Sadly my garden has reverted to clumps of moss and liverwort due to the awful weather of the past year or so.... If I covered the lungwort as the no dig, with cardboard and compost, do you think it would kill it.... I don't like the idea of poisons . Someone also suggested bicarb but I would need tonnes of it .. just at a loss.🤔🤔

[@__Shellspace__]

its just nice to see the soil textures atm we have some dry weather , i hear most say at last!!! lol so ive been out tidying about too today without a coat! woo lol but yes we due a frost tuesday so took today to sort out all the fleeces for the worst days , i however dont like covering for long as the pests pretty much get a cozy hotel for winter if you do in my opinion as we tend to neglect what we cant see haha, thinking of digging up my drive in early spring, no point having room for a car if you dont drive right? haha , 4 new beds for me next year southfacing it be silly not to use up the space

[@karoldan25]

Hi Charles Can You ask Your Viewers to stand up for Farmers Your the Man who can wake up some of family's

[@mlkewilson9220]

I wonder if Charles is aware that there is a war on the farm and he is right in the crosshairs just a matter of time before they start to close small farms and banning seeds time to start fighting back. agenda 2030 sustainable development goals.

[@NadineP-q8x]

Hi Charles, I would love to know how you go about selecting which mushroom compost or cow manure to use on your garden beds. I’ve heard that cows are wormed regularly and also mushrooms would be occasionally treated with pesticides etc. Do you find that this affects the quality of your soil? Thank you 🙂

[@ria9881]

So, if you have slugs, would Chinese cabbage work as a sacrificial plant?

[@Pernilleisinthehouse]

Are you sure you get the right frequenzy when the energy tower is that small?

[@UpstateGardening]

Which book/s would you recommend gifting an experienced gardener that wants to get into no dig?

[@emkn1479]

Do you think brassica cover crops can perpetuate pests? I’ve seen so many white butterflies visiting my patch, and we’ve had so many harlequin bugs this year. And I have found chervil seeds in the US, I got them from Select Seeds, they offer a wide variety of herbs.

[@0skar9193]

Here in the UK Red Spider mite loves dry conditions, especially under cover. More water is the only answer. I pray you soon get rain.
