Thanks Kris just inspired me,trying to get away from the pots with minimal space of soil

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Good to know we’re on the same page Kris! 😅

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@@GeorgesJungleGarden lol. Great minds and all that. 😄

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

@ Haha yes, something like that! 😂

[@MikeB-qh2do]

Are you two sitting next to each other when you make these videos or something!!

[@TropicalDanUK]

I genuinely thought you had both colluded on this topic. Like some kind of algorithm strategy! 😊

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

@@MikeB-qh2do @TropicalDanUK Haha no, I made my video on Saturday and uploaded it yesterday morning, Kris messaged me to say he filmed his video yesterday morning then came in to see I’d uploaded exactly the same topic! The structure of the videos are uncannily similar too haha, I’ll have to start focusing on increasing bizarre subjects just to prevent Kris from copying going forwards 😂

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

This is SO true! Great video Kris. But for your viewers across the pond, what is grit? Makes me think of the Cajun dish shrimp and grits.😅

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@@TheBarefootedGardener thanks 😊 grit is like sand but larger particle size. Great for drainage. 👍

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

I'm quite lucky with the drainage as my garden is on a slope. But it's good to know, especially with the soil. Thanks for sharing.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Thanks for commenting. Yes a slope is great for drainage

6:09 where did you get those small logs for walls of your path ?

Hi Kris, where do you purchase your mushroom compost from?

[@TropicalDanUK]

@@YorkshireKRIS I can agree with Kris, they are very good. Im Wirral based so they are fairly local. Seems quite far for you Kris but I guess they deliver all over the North and Midlands.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@TropicalDanUK yes they deliver all over. Last time with a crane so no pallets to get rid of.

Hi kris I’ve got lots of giant cannas in big tubs shud I just leave them alone or empty them out and put new soil and compost in the tubs then repot them back in the tubs thank any advice .adrian

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@@adrianjennison4123 I wouldn't do anything yet. Wait until you see new growth in spring , then report into new compost

[@adrianjennison4123]

Thanks Kris .adrian
