Allotment Gardening On A Budget Hacks For An Abundance With A Collaboration With Thompson & Morgan

[@sowgroweat6987]

I bet Thompson & Morgan didn't bank on that tip onslaught from the master! But Terry you forgot one of your best sources of material, woodchips from the paths. Got that tip from him years ago and its been one of the best money savers for me ever - 3 year old woodchip sifted and blended with Leafmold make free seed compost, better than the commercial stuff.

I only had 10 minutes to prepare for this, so thank you for clarification on where they come from Mike.

[@MotosAllotmentGarden]

Love the journey you are on! All the wonderful ingredients and re-using. But you rather understate the value of urine to a great compass pile! Wonderful you.

@@GordonjSmith1 thank you my friend, definitely enjoying my allotment journey.

Great video Terry

@CoastalGardensNW thank you Duncan.

[@reddishrascals6109]

A great video as always, am converting my new plot to raised pallet collar beds as I have the same problem as you my back doesn’t like me bending 😂.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Sounds great my friend, I certainly wouldn't like to go back to low gardening.

[@suegill6407]

Thank you Terry for the great tips. Love your videos 😊

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

You are so welcome and thank you for taking the time to comment I do really appreciate it.

[@funnysods]

Some great tips and advice. I can't believe the cabbage white caterpillars are still on the go! I thought they'd have either turned into butterflies or pegged out.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

That's our weather for you. They were late coming and late changing to them brown things ready to emerge next season.

[@Lauralearningtogrow]

What a great informative video thanks Terry 😀

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Glad you enjoyed it Laura.

[@myrustygarden]

Some simply awesome and easy to follow tips Mr K. Crazy you still have caterpillars 🐛 on things. Hope Sandra is well today and even better tomorrow ❤, Ali 🥶🥶🇨🇦

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@myrustygarden the catterpillers even after a -5 are still active so hard to believe Ali.

First video watch of the day Terry. Always lovely to see your tips for repurposing items and tips on how to make the most of every resource you come across ❤

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@@TheRightPearPlot thank you for your kind words and continued support.

[@bewoodford2807]

Great video terry- so interesting. Thank you. Your plots are sp efficiently run Terry. Totally amazes me! I build my compost heaps from discarded pallets at my local garden centre. Not free but available with a small donation to Air ambulance, which I am so happy to do. I need to source some IBC tanks as I currently use ex disinfectant barrels from the local farm. WE can't get free pallet collars- local firms charge for them sadly. Nothing much ever given away in the south of England. I use yoghurt pots to pot on seedlings to give to friends and neighbours on my site. I also have to buy mushroom crates as I haven't been able to find a free source locally. I use photo cases to store my seeds. I label them as you do- makes it so easy to find what I want. I used to use a tin, but it was annoying to have to sort through 50 packets to find what I need. Love and hugs to Sandra ❤happy gardening 🙂

@bewoodford2807 lovely comment my friend, thank you.

Thank you! Cheers, hope all is well with you.

Well explained Terry. Watching this it's like, yep got that, yep, yep lol. Seed swapping is great. I have two photo cases to play with. I've also got seeds everywhere, either in the shed or at home. I keep finding them laugh. If you have vats with 2014, who am I to argue with you as you have got so much stored. Your water preservation is impressive. I have three IBCs plus eight water vats connected to our greenhouses. Have you ever tested your soil? It would be really insightful to know how potent your soil actually is after all, you do improve your soil no end. It makes sense to explain to gardeners, why you use log ash or other fluids. It's how we learn. I agree, wood is expensive so making a saving here and there, helps the pennies and pounds to spend on Thompson and Morgan seeds, for instance. Oh my, those caterpillars are still not gone! Have they evolved by eating your crops? Laugh. One time use straps are pure madness, but not in your eyes lol. Terry 👍 👍, Mrs K ❤️🎄🎅

[@Kathlee-l4z]

Where did you buy the sheep fleeces from thank you

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@Kathlee-l4z Hi Kathleen, a local sheep farmer advertised on social media, they only get 50p a fleece so they fill the bulk bags and sell them for £20, a noval way to cover the beds and hopefully attract birds to collect nesting materials. I will definitely get another bag next year.

[@Kathlee-l4z]

@ thank you I will check in my local area see if there are fleece being available
