Been following for 3 years now, and I still consider this channel to be a valuable gem. It's hard to find this kind of objective and factual gardening content nowadays.

I absolutely love your videos. No intro and no begging for likes and subs before I have even watched. You explain the purpose of the video and get right to the info. I really hate it when a video says I will see/learn Process A, but first we need to make breakfast, feed chickens, fix fence, water pigs,and 25 minutes later we can start Process A after another lengthy explanation. Thank you for continuing to show your successes, failures, goals and obstacles. You have grown into an amazing garden over the years and I love it all.

If even HALF the world had your thoughtful, analytical, measured, rational approach to situations and problem solving - the world would be a far better place! Thanks for these videos - they are an oasis of true calm in a crazy world! Fond greetings from Australia!

You're a total legend, have found your videos to be amongst the most detailed, truthful and realistically inspiring of all the big KZfaqrs in the world of gardening.

I'm a big fan and honestly I'm continuously surprised that you don't have more followers. Possibly because you avoid catchy click bait-y titles and thumb nails, and instead focus on a fact driven, dispassionate discussion of your observations. Honestly your channel is what we need more of in this world and I have faith that in time your channel and name will come to rank with some of the big names of organic gardening/farming. Keep it up please.

2021 taught me how to say NO with confidence and love. The greatest lesson of my life ❤️☘️💪

Active engagement here from the US to help your analytics. Thanks for the vids.

I've been watching Red Gardens for about a year now and I keep coming back because the author clearly cares about the value of objectivity. He presents what he has learned in an honest way and seems to have no problem pointing out what he have have done wrong and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions from his research. Clearly a scientifically minded individual which is such a breath of fresh air from the majority of others who claim to have all the answers, oversimplify to a fault or worst of all are just selling product disguised as advice. Bravo!!

I appreciate your ability to observe and assess what goes on in your garden. And how well you communicate the information!

It's has been great following along with you and the development of RED Gardens over the past five years. I imagine you got a significant surge in viewership as Covid home bound people turned to gardening, and I wouldn't be surprised if that source of surge has plateaued. I hope your great channel has contributed to keeping many of them as life-long gardeners. As always, thank you, Bruce, for all you do and share.

At first I wasn't quite a "fan" of the channel, perhaps I got the wrong impression, but I noticed after watching a couple of video's I became addicted to them. You are probably one of the most humblest of persons. I must say, and you can see this as a tip perhaps - I was a fan of the "series" you did about tomatoes. I think this keeps people hooked and wanting to see more.

I am glad you had some help this year. I think the most important part of planning to not being around is teaching what you have learned. Good luck this year.

I'm very proud to call myself a loyal supporter via Patreon since the beginning. I wouldnt know what I know in tackling issues in the gardens (for example did I have the same issue with dried-out compost this past year), so simply working along this strategy, learning and adapting is why I am still, and will be until the end, a Patreon. Keep on Gardening, Bruce & Kris!

I've been gardening all my life and pushing 70 now - (and yes age matters)! This channel has been so refreshing. There is not one video where I haven't learned something new, or haven't been inspired to try something outside my comfort zone. You are a continuous inspiration and very much more interesting than you think. I wish I could be another helpful neighbour (but Canada is a bit far)

Bruce, you are the best! Thank you for presenting ideas which I may never have considered. Your work is so valuable to me and others as you present in an honest and generous manner!!!

I completely LOVE how you are experimenting with different methods of growing, it gives us an abundance of knowledge and a basis of how we can approach our own gardens.

Super grateful for your videos, I find the scientific way you approach a lot of your gardening helpful for me who also loves to keep records and numbers to see how my garden is going and progressing so that I can make changes each year to try and improve. Thankyou!

Thank you for sharing this information! This is something we all should start doing ourselves within our own communities and neighborhoods. Getting back to basics, less reliance on outside factors. I know it’s a lot of work, but the result is so worth it! 😁

I always appreciate your very helpful tips and this end of the year--what I learned one is a favorite. I've gardened for over 30 years, and I am STILL learning new things all the time. One of the great joys of gardening is that you can always improve. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. It is most appreciated!

Thanks so much Bruce! I love how you approach things. I'd be lucky to have 1% of your skill set.

You have a great channel. Probably the best there is. I understand you as my channel went thru the same issue. I decided to eliminate adds during the videos and saw a positive change in subscribers and average video duration. Keep up, please. This is a great channel.

We're new to gardening last year and were lucky enough to come across your channel. I've learned from you and your community through reading the comments. There is a collective wealth of knowledge here. Cheers from Victoria Canada Btw We're trying your tomatoe technique this year 🌱🌱🌱

You host one of the most consistently useful and informative channels I visit. Your focus on learning through sharing experiments is very impressive. Please keep it up and I am sure growth will follow in the future. All the best.

Love hearing your successes and failures. We learn a lot from you. Keep it up!

Thanks, as always, you for your helpful and thoughtful words.

Hurrah! It's a brilliant learning synposis. - - I have no idea why the channel views have plateaued. It's the best horticultural channel I have found, in years of searching. Some people want content that affirms their biases and political learnings. Most people, I think, love polemic, and easy answers, not genuine learning, an X-ism or an anti-Y-ology; trumpets, sabres and flags.

Having an extra pair of hands to help is a God send! 2 people helped me with prep and winter clean up yesterday and we got done in 5 hours what would have taken me days! What a blessing!!!

I love your content, keep up the great work. I know a lot of people like me who are still wanting to get started with gardening but are a little unsure where and how to start. A back to basics series this spring might be helpful. You know laying out a garden plot, starting seeds, how to transplant, watering, weeding, pruning, and so on. An everything around the garden for those of us who know nothing, or less than nothing.

What an incredibly interesting and helpful video. SOOOO much info here, showing what goes right and how things can go wrong. Way more helpful than focusing on only what worked. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

I look forward to your videos as I like a little experimentation and enjoy the results. Looking forward to the 2022 garden videos 👍 thanks!

I am assuming due to the algorithm your videos have not popped up in my recommended/feed for a long time for me… im not sure what made THIS video pop up but I watched the entire thing and it was incredibly thought provoking and enjoyable. Thankfully I now have a binge session to look forward to. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into documenting your discoveries and assisting those who are less experienced🙏

Here from the start - still here - still interested. Always fascinating

Hi Bruce I love your channel and always learn a lot. You have inspired me to carry on and even to carry out experiments of my own - thank you very much 👍

Your videos continue to inspire! I can associate with most of these points. It's a fascinating introspection to the entire process of gardens, at every level. Best channel i ever watched; worth waiting to hear from you when you have something to say. Take the time you need, no-one has escaped the realities of the current state of things. Just do what you do best; we'll be here.

This channel is a gem! The algorithm brought me to you a few days back and i'm so grateful for that. I don't have a garden right now, just growing some plants in my living room. So now is the time to soak up many informations for the future where i have my own (big) garden and your channel is perfect for this! Thank You for doing this and please keep at it!

You have no idea how much this videos common sense-types of information Actually HELPED IMMENSELY!! Thank you so very much for providing this video as it gave at least me personally a good starting pointers to keep in mind for the future to keep in mind as I hopefully & finally will be able to eventually achieve!! 🧚🏼‍♀️🦄🐈‍⬛

Beautiful greenhouse and useful information. Thank you!

Hello, thank you for sharing all your knowledge in this thoughtful video! I loved hearing your observations and good advice and learned a lot! Your channel just got recommended to me today (lucky me~), looking forward to more! Happy gardening :)

Every one of these lessons is applicable to so much beyond the garden without much translation. Thanks for the deep thoughts and inspiration as always.

After using your carrot planting techniques I've found great success in growing big beautiful carrots. Love everything your doing . I use different techniques depending on the crops I'm growing based on your experiences. Thanks! I love burgundy bush beans. I've done comparisons on different varieties of bush beans and they are my favorite thus far. My kids call them magic beans because they change color when cooked. I also love your homemade weeding tool. I even made one I can use while standing up.

Epigenetics is how your garlic learns. It’s an amazingly adaptive mechanism.

First time on your channel and I loved the video concept, and the work you've been putting in. Subscribed and looking forward to watching and learning more from you :) I've been growing some of my food in my small backyard but there's still so much to learn. Hoping to soon buy a bigger lot where I can keep some animals too.

Thank you for organizing your thoughts. I will find this extremely helpful as I kick off my new gardens soon. Your message is one I understand well

I just watch your video for the first time and I have to confess that I learned a lot. Thank you. I have been planting a vegetable garden, for a great while. and up to now thought I was an expert, but now I know that I am not. I like the out.lines of your video making it easier to follow. Thank you again Eduardo

Man, your work is one of the best and Iam so thankful for finding your channel years ago. Love your eloquence, the factual straight to the point approach, the profound insights and detailed documentation. I have and will watch every video with great appreciation no matter how long the time in between. If more videos means diluted content or filler topics, please don`t. That is one of the main reasons I unsubscribe from channels every time it happens. Good content is very much like growing plants... you can not pull them to make them grow faster. Wonder if ilfe sent you the helping hand to understand the topic of teaching more deeply (at wich you are exceptionally good at already imo) to prepare for the book that I have no doubt you will write one of these days. I can not wait to lay hands of one of the first printings. Very heartfelt greetings from Hungary.

Hi, new subscriber from the Netherlands, interesting vid thanks. I've used a drip watering system in my greenhouse, I think that consistent slow amount of water helps to avoid split tomatoes, at least I didn't have any in the 2 years I've been growing 💚 good luck!

So good to see your video on what you learned 2021. I always look forward to what you have to say which can help us even out here in the desert. Sending all good wishes for 2022.

Well done Bruce , your work is an inspiration. I’ve followed you since the beginning and learned such a lot. I’m glad to see that you are getting help from Chris.

Each and every one of your videos is an absolute treat. I know it will always be something thoughtful, innovative and different. I have a feeling that those who started gardening with oodles of enthusiasm have now plateaued off of gardening themselves, when going back to work, or getting back to life as they knew it. This includes the boring task of supermarket queues, rather than not being interested in what you do and say. I know which I'd rather do :D. What is a supermarket anyway?

There's always something new to learn! Thanks for your work, I've been watching I believe since 2019 and I'm still enjoying your videos!

I follow you, have done so for about 2 years. It’s very useful and appreciated.

I love the footage of your garden and the highlights of your learning. Thank you!

Your work is inspiring by the way 👍

Hello Red Gardens! I've just subscribed to your channel! Something that I have found extremely useful last year - I run a 30 bed kitchen garden for a client, we set it up over 18 months and were growing and building at the same time last year. We have a 30 ft tunnel in which we grew tomatoes, melons, peppers, aubergines, and grow salads during the winter. I grew all our Augbergines from seed, but bought just one different variety in - it was the only one that got mould on it, but what stopped that dead in it's tracks was a spray of Colloidal Silver. This is fabulous diulted, as it kills the nasties, bolsters the plants and makes for healthy young plants. I dilute 20ppm by 50% and have a spray bottle handy.

Big thanks to you for sharing your gardens, tips&tricks, experiments and so much more with us 🌻

I love how analytic you are of everything! People and plants!

Thank you for the update

I like how considerate you are. Keep going. We watch

Have been following a number of years and I still get excited when I see a notification saying you have uploaded a new video. Your videos give amazing food for thought and are well developed and presented

The KZfaq algorithm finally connected us again!! So glad to see you are still at it. I am currently watching the backlog of videos I've missed. Thanks for the wealth of invaluable information you share with us all!!

This is the best channel out there. The only one I really stop to watch as soon as a video is release. It is genuinely about learning the subject of growing vegetables with a scientific approach. No tic toc style self-centred author, no adverts, no begging for likes. I’m so glad the channel is going strong.

I appreciate your videos very much. Keep them coming. Anything you have learned in your gardening Journey helps me tremendously. Thank you and we need you don’t tire out my friend.

Just found your videos today, and they are much appreciated! Keep up the Good Work :)

Ok this video just came up on my feed today, so its a much watched, liked and well commented video that are put at the "must watch" list. Great content. Very simple, but good ideas (what every gardener needs). Thanks

Hello Bruce, I really enjoyed watching this clip and I am grateful for you sharing your knowledge. With great Thanks, Aimee

Wow! thank you for sharing your experience!!!!

Thank you for you videos, you'd become my favorite garden channel since OYR stopped posting 2-3 years ago

Every year I plan and set goals for the garden. This is a good reminder that wrapping up the year by noting the lessons learned is important too.

Excellent work. I'll be referencing this video over the next few months as I plant out the seasons crops. Thanks from arkansas.

I learned a great trick! I used alfalfa pellets meant for horses as a side dressing fertilizer for everything and it all thrived!!

Excellent as always Bruce.......great video

I love every one of your videos Bruce, keep em coming :) Those clips been using for years, they are and so easy to attach.

Thank you for sharing your experiences

This was a really great update on the things you learned, and made me consider some ideas I hadn't had before!

Very informative and to the point. I enjoyed the content and look forward to viewing more... a lot more! Thank you.

I love this channel and recommend it whenever I can!

Thank you for your knowlegable, experienced, and humble approach. I so appreciate it and you. Thanks.

Your work is great, informative, and honest. Thank you from LA, Calif.

Love the lessons learned video. I wish more people would share their lessons learned. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this thoughtful reflection on lessons learned in your garden. Your efforts were well worth the stop, and got my brain thinking about a few of my own lessons from the past year, and how some of what you shared can be applied to enhance my own efforts to bring joy to my community. 🙏

Thanks so much Bruce! I am glad to get to know your channel, and the opportunity to ask you questions and get your answers through the comments on your channel. Especially interesting is the topic of creating compost and obtaining humus.

Another great year ! Yup the algorythms were not ’pushing’ your videos froward to me this year. I’ll put the Bell on.

I just saw your channel today, watched this video and subscribed before video was over. I'm looking forward to binge watching everything over the next short time period. That makes me happy. 😁

Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful gardens. You are an amazing artist who truly love what he does. Thank you for sharing.

What a great report! You always get my creative juices flowing. Thanks for your work and your thoughts.

Definitely a nice recap. Thanks Bruce. Been watching your stuff for only 2 years, but it's been valuable for sure. I have to massively adapt things to my own climate and availability, but the way you present it makes this easy. Many channels are very country-centric when they talk about plants and tools and currencies, but you are quite open and honest about things. Keep it up, and thanks for helping me too, get in front of a camera (I remember your video about that too). Never back down!

I enjoy your approach to gardening it’s refreshing! I will be taking and using some of the tips!! Thank you

Thanks RED Gardens!

I like this channel as one of the best gardening channels out there, simply because it is less biased than most. It's easy to find some No dig enthousiast or deep plower hacking at his soil and get lost in their methodology. Here at Red Gardens we'll see different approaches applied to the same soil and climate. This, together with all successes as wel as failures, I find very educational.

I've watched every video you've made, and I still learn something every time you put out a new one. Thank you so much for continuing to do these.

I think we learn every year and no one is like the other! Please more? Thank you very much!!! Best greetings from Austria.

This is a great video!! You displayed what you learnt that year greatly!

You are an inspiration for many. Surely the best gardening chanel there is. You inspired me to do some variaty trials myself. Keep up good work! Kind regards from the Netherlands!

THANK YOU FOR THE SHARED EXPERIENCE

From one nerdy gardener to another, well done, sir! I loved hearing about what you learned! So inspiring!! Best of luck in 2022!!

I don’t interact much on videos, but I do listen to all your videos, and always really enjoy them.

What an incredible video!! We love what you do and the detail in which you share your new knowledge!

Thanks for sharing with us.

This channel is a real gem! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Just found your channel. Amazing content. Very impressed by your rigour.
