Yes! I just found this channel today and it is so relaxing and inspiring at the same time.

So true

Charles rocks! ..if he was any more laid-back the dude would be a deck-chair 😂 Genuinely all your information is valued and appreciated beyond measure. Been organically growing in 4ft high raised beds (physical restrictions!) and 3 x fruit tree guilds with plum, fig & pomegranate, cherry, mini apple & pear, blackberry, blueberries, gooseberries, & goji berries.. all for our family & surroundings neighbours for some decades now & we use woodchip everywhere, with a few wildflowers, (which is what the renamed 'weeds' are here) & with many companion plants put together it works well.. so it's like a biodiverse woodland food forest.. no matter where/what we grow in the garden the soil underfoot is what's known as 'black gold.' Had a refit 4 times to suit the challenges of altered abilities & no greenhouse besides makeshift/few mini glass-houses dotted around & couple of cold frames for overwintering late summer veg/our fruit plants.. and we get perhaps just two-thirds as much harvest as you with just 36x48ft to fit it all in. More to come.. appreciation for sharing your extensive knowledge in such an informative & calming (no nonsense) manner 😊✌🏽

Only think that makes me happier is the lack of coriander 😅

Good student 😀

i learned moorland gold is less reliable and the british guy with a calm voice had a beard.

Thanks a lot Mr. Charles for sharing your knowledge. Very well explained!

What I'm still not sure about- is potting compost pure compost or mixed with something? I'm sure it's clearly explained but as an absolute beginner I'm constantly struggling to keep up with and store information, so please excuse me if it's an obvious question but I'm in a serious inner conflict with this part.

@@kwostah best ones are based entirely on compost and with added nutrients, plus sometimes stuff to improve drainage

We all agree! I learned so much from him.

Yesterday, here in the US, I took part in a social media post that asked how many of us, like the poster, are “crushing” on Charles. I admitted that I want to be his neighbor, or at least his apprentice. We adore Charles!

@@valerielord1088 hee hee, crushing here in Michigan...I love my men tall, lean, and of course, bending every which way over vigorous seedlings😍. Now, truth be told, I think all men and women look good when they're working in the garden!

I will be watching other garden videos, and his name pop up frequently. they respect what he does

@@valerielord1088 Is it a Facebook page or group that I can join?

Thanks for your cool compliment! 😀

@@CharlesDowding1nodig no worries man, appreciate ya :)

I tried it and working sooooo well! I saved bags of leaves and layered green scraps. Heating beautifully here in zone 5 upstate NY! Really happy with my hot bed.

You are very welcome

you can also use tin foil/aluminium foil. true story, when i was a student living in halls of residence, once two policeman walking passed noticed an illegal plant growing on the window sill of a male student whose room was on the ground floor, so he had a visit from those policemen, university student and intelligence doesnt necessarily go hand in hand, how stupid to grow an illegal plant on your window sill esp when your room is on the ground floor, and very close to the pavement. Also one plant and no proper cultivation is not going to produce substance to then smoke.

@@mooncatandberyl5372 yes, a tin foil lined cardboard box is what I am using at the moment.

@@draconianTL how is it turning out? doesnt work so well for me on a north facing window sill.

@@mooncatandberyl5372 tbh you need the side facing the window cut out. You need to rotate the plant inside the box and yeah I don't see it working on North facing window

Sounds great Chris, I love the international perspective!

Cheers Dean

Glad you like them Frank

Sorry to hear that and best of luck!

Cheers Nathan
