Low maintenance gardening is like having a self-cleaning house - it's every homeowner's dream! Imagine plants that behave like well-trained pets: they stay within their borders, don't demand constant attention, and somehow manage to look fabulous all year round. It's the plant equivalent of having a robot vacuum, but for your garden. And the best part? You can claim all the credit for your garden's beauty while secretly knowing that nature is doing most of the work! 🌿✨

A good warm weather spinach is New Zealand Spinach. It can thrives in the summer heat, 35.5C, 96F doesn't phase it a bit. It is also drought tolerant. It will grow, and produce until frost. The only con is it needs frequent pruning to keep it from taking over the garden. Both flavor and texture is good.

The joy, kindness, and positivity in your video comments is a testament to the wonderful work you are doing. Thank you for sharing and producing such lovely and informative content. Garden lime dusting fish heads will help. Also, if you have a fire pit or burn wood on your property wood ash and biochar (even just charcoal) will do wonders-cake it all over the fish head before bury. Use an auger bit on a drill and bury fish at least 1ft/30cm-use well-rotted compost on top of that to bring planting hole to proper depth for transplant and that will drastically help with animals digging up fish heads. I’ve also found laying physical barrier down around base of plant at soil surface but under mulch layer, like a hardware cloth skirt keeps animals from scratch digging to fish. Keep up the amazing work. Your efforts are making a lot of positive changes in our shared planet.

Good morning Ben, loved your garden tour, you made gardening super interesting. Everything is growing well and looking lush. Vegetable gardening does not need too much water, just sufficient to help them get buy and we can save much water from inside the house to fill our watering cans. It does help a great deal. Those tomatoes I mentioned earlier on, they are still growing and the fruits are looking beautiful, they must now start to change colour as there is nothing like vine ripened tomatoes, their flavour is unique I am sure will agree. I have really surprised myself with this challenge and a challenge it sure is. We are now going to start July which is our coldest month, so I am trusting and hoping everything will go well. Thank you for sharing your garden secrets, it surely brings about a challenge to all us viewers :) I enjoyed you piling the rotten leaves etc., onto the bare bed and finishing it off with the good rotted manure. Just look at the results with very little effort. Enjoy harvesting, take care. Kind regards.

Took your tip about growing potatoes in pots and tried it with 5 seed potatoes in 2 largish pots. Harvested a couple of days ago, and got a large number of really nice potatoes. It worked! I just kept filling up the pots with compost,until I got to the top, and watering when dry and voila! Certainly a lot easier to harvest, and also sure to get ALL the potatoes this way, as well.

I ve done the same, for the last 3 years. I ve noticed: planting in bigger containers[ ie plastic big black toy containers[ with holes at the bottom] makes no difference in quantity/ volume!

I will keep big containers for winter leeks, grown in them!

@dlsdyer9071 11 ай бұрын

Wish you well. We experience the same thing! Year before last bugs just about decimated our garden. Last year I let a low to ground fountain become a frog haven. It produced so many of several varieties that neighbors half way down the street were commenting about never seeing so many before. This year the fountain is going but it is still breeding them. We now have three different types of lizards and a couple of black snakes. The black aphids almost took out my garlic chives and perennial leeks, this year they showed up and were absolutely gone in two weeks. I now have vigorous new growth. Another success is using perforated compost bags inside my grow bags for potatoes. We scarified our lawns (pulled up the early weeds and dead material that did not compost), let the material dry out on one of the long terraced beds, then mixed it with compost inside those bags. Our ground is too hard to dig out potatoes and the grow bags didn’t hold enough moisture for the potatoes to do well. Lastly, the rabbits and voles have not figured out how to get to the potatoes. I absolutely LOVE HEARING OTHER EXPLAINED SUCCESS STORIES as encouragement and creating better growing environments!

Have just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! Favourite garden channel I’ve watched so far. I’m in New Zealand and into my second year in our new place establishing a garden. Most of our back yard is concrete (with small lawn for the dogs) so I’ve been doing quite a bit of building up beds on top of the concrete similar to the method you’ve described above. And have started turning the front lawn into a bit of a food forest. Currently winter here so it’s slow going (except for Cavallo Nero which had gone crazy) but have managed some broccoli from seed (I love the side shooting variety that just keeps giving) and my first cauli is starting to fruit up. Am dreaming ahead to summer and planning my tomato trellis structure, as well as planning to experiment with cucumbers, peppers, corn and a wider range of squash so your videos have been so helpful. I will keep watching with interest.

Garden looks gorgeous! It's the best when you can just walk outside for your food. I want to start composting seriously and growing from seeds next year thanks to your videos, and will look to your videos again for tips! We finished the asparagus just in time for the lettuce to come through, and it was planted in front of the asparagus, so the asparagus ferns have provided some light shade for our lettuce and it hasn't bolted yet and went gotten a good 5 weeks out of it! It's nearing the end, but I'm hoping it will last until the zucchini is ready in the next week or so! Then after that, bell peppers for eating, and tomatoes that will become sauce. My squash is also in random spots and always takes over as we mow around it :) hoping to get our first crop of Asian pears, bartlet pears, golden delicious, grapes, and blackberries this year, and will have raspberries in the coming weeks as well! I love the seasonal shifts of gardening! Best wishes with the rest of your growing season!

This is my second year of adapting my plot to no dig and I can see the difference in the quality of the crops already. I too have starting the lasagne method of starting a bed, dropping all the weeds in the base and topping up with comfrey leaves and then compost. My tip to you, and I’m sure you know this already, is when tying in crops wrap the string around the cane then tie in the stem. That way the string protects the stems from rubbing against the cane and the string doesn’t slip down the cane. Happy gardening.

Great tip, thanks for sharing this. I get lazy and always forget to do that! Glad your garden is growing well by the sounds of it. :-)

Lovely tour Ben! I smiled when thinking of the neighbor pitching green stuff over the fence because mine does the same for me. Some on my street also text for pick up😊

We were just travelling through the UK during that drought period you mentioned. Terrible with the additional heat for your farmers and the herds, but great for touristing. Oddly enough, it rained the whole time we were gone from our home in Colorado, which is quite unusual. I am fully onboard with low-maintenance gardening. The crops I grow have to give me max reliable yield for minimal effort, especially because most of my energy goes toward battling the bindweed and mint (amazing how mint can take over). Love watching your videos, and terribly jealous of your climbing roses!

Thanks so much David. Hope you are gradually winning the war on bindweed and mint! And I hope you enjoyed your visit to the UK. :-)

Your videos always bring so much joy. You have such great enthusiasm and you just "shine". Really enjoyed your tour. Glad to see you had a good spinach year. I had my best one ever this year,....not sure why, but who am I to question. I just enjoyed every bite!

*NO WAY* it was Rosie -she's far too sweet and well behaved to dig up rotten fish heads. And that lettuce is the size of YOUR head Ben - God forbid babies were born with that sized head - everyone would be an only child! LOL Oh how I wish my garden was half a good as yours - but you do keep me inspired, so for that, you have my sincere gratitude!! Cheers from Sydney!!

Fish fertilizer drew in skunk and raccoon here in WI, US. Think I read to put lime on top of fish. We have been in extreme drought we finally had an inch and half and I pushed the grass mulch away and it was bone dry. Glad to see your getting produce. It’s been a struggle for many. WOW! That rose is quite a specimen! Beautiful!

Well that explains why my broccoli had purple leaves and was the size of a ping pong ball lol! A nursery said it was from erratic spring weather and here it was a lack of nutrients - thanks Ben!

@GrowVeg 11 ай бұрын

It probably was lack of nutrients. As soon as they can grow again they green up - within a matter of days, it's quite remarkable!
