Thank you Charles, for helping me to overcome my horror of bindweed. Once I stopped digging my beds, I found it much easier to manage both the growth and spread. With regular maintenance, even the most infested areas show remarkably improvement.

Not sure where on this big old planet you are located but I buy big LED shop lights (5000 lumin but they could be higher if you can afford)and my plant seedling love them. My hubby just bought me 4 more and another big stainless steel shelf to put them on. Its been the best investment. The plants are sturdier and grow better. I've even started growing hydroponically under them year round. Lettuces/ greens/boc choi and basil do phenomenal under the LED lights in hydroponics (kratky hydroponics no pumps). Not sure if you've the room but in the US the shop lights can be found for about $23 to $27 each. 4foot long. Hope this helps.

@@seanpidduck thank you. I'm expanding my gardens due to the huge price increases in our area of the US(well probably all the world). I hope if you try it works well for you. My husband did the nerdy math for me and calculated that my 4 shop lights cost about $3 to $3.50 usd to run each month and thats literally the cost of 4 cheap heads of iceberg lettuce or 2 heads of fancy loose leaf lettuce. And its fresh and pesticide free. I do use timers too and if course depends on whats growing where some lights might be off. Lol I think soon everyone will be scrambling to get gardens in or rent allotments if they don't have the yards. It will be a while before market prices stabilize.

I just find such comfort and joy in watching you do the good work of teaching no dig gardening. From the beginning no dig was mind blowing to me, decades of teaching otherwise. Your way is clear, calming, so informative, I enjoy it so much. As I walk my property and make plans/dream, I catch myself defaulting to the old ideas, then your ways bounce right back into my mind, and it simplifies so much, brings more opportunity to my gardening dreams. Thank you sir for all the content you provide. I wish you continued success.

Hope the French tarragon survived last night’s frost! I’ve taken cuttings already from mine that survived winter in ground in greenhouse, just in case. Your rhubarb looks very healthy in the Eden bed. I grow mine - and asparagus- the same way ever since I ran out of healthy compost and was given truckloads of woodchips. I top up these beds with an inch or so of woodchip each year. Never have to weed or water. Have a 15ft x 20 ft fixed potato bed in its fourth year using same method. Potatoes were a bit scabby to start with but now produce well. I harvest what I need, always leave one behind and let volunteers do their bit each year. Still grow 1st/2nd earlies in buckets though just in case the experiment fails. Herb garden looks fab. Do you also grow some herbs near the kitchen door? Sorry to be nosy. 😬

I used to be sponsored by Jackson Carter wood management, then called Stable Dry bedding. They produce wood pulp bedding for cattle, which is what we used for our horses. As you say, wood is exceptionally absorbent, so it's why farmers like using it, if they are not creating their own straw. It makes a great deep litter bed. It may well take longer to break break down on its own in a heap, but I do think if the farmer is running their stocks right, it should produce really good results, given the time to break down. I'm only just getting to the point where my Tulips are starting to show hope of flowers, but it is their first year, so I'm just happy they've decided to show up at all 😁

Beautiful Garden Charles! Thank you for sharing. It’s always a pleasure to see your videos and the garden tours are wonderful. I bought your long handle dibber and some seed trays from all about the garden. I’ll be out in one of my gardens tomorrow using the dibber. Love you buddy keep up the good work. 🌻🌾🌱

Thanks for showing your beans. My beans are only about a foot high (Aqua Claudia) and I was a bit concerned that it was stunted but yours seem harder off! Many channels would have just skipped that bed and only shown the perfect ones.
