You make the information easy to grasp. I am not so intimidated by my own novice beginnings.
Do you ever have issues with the dogs digging in the raised beds?
How do I get the app I can’t find in a discription
I’m a long-time subscriber. Thank you so much for the wealth of gardening knowledge!
Your video is very helpful! I’m a beginner, starting my small garden today.
I’ve been very inspired by your channel and a number of others… to the point of making my own raised garden beds… with sticks (I "wove" them into a frame). We have some what limited space and I wanted to dedicate some to growing, I also had a lot of branches from starting to actually tidy up our yard so I decided to use our "waste" to make the dedicated growing areas.
https://youtu.be/81GndMUD2eU poor quality video (and a bit long… you can just skip to the end to see the results) but it shows the basic process. I’m looking forward to seeing what I can grow.
Finding your videos very useful and we’re starting out but using old oak barrels keeping everything crossed all will be well
I am starting my first veg garden in container pots in a victorian terraced house’s tiny paved backyard. I grew up with grandparents who had their own allotments and gardens full of fruit and veg and I loved helping on them as a child. For the last 20 years I have lived in flats and I am so excited to start growing my own fruit and veg finally!
Wat is that big plant in the middel at 00:01:51
this is a great video!! thanks and love your dog helping!! as mine will also be helping as I start my first raised garden bed!!
Great stuff.
Cardboard all fine, but weeds Come from above 🤪
Inherited a house with a beautiful big garden that has unfortunately been neglected for many years. It’s a jungle and full of weeds and we have zero experience with gardening. So your videos are really helpful to get started! Thanks 🙂
Thank you for your videos! I’m going to be starting my first garden this year and I’m finding all your hints super helpful. It’s also nice to see how messy and casual the process is, even in the hands of a professional. hahaha. Sometimes I feel self conscious with my whole ‘garden mess’ project, but it’s DIRT, after all!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us 🇺🇸
I am taking over an abandoned allotment that has grown wild! There’s a polytunnel and 4 or 5 raised beds already in place. Everything has bolted and flowered, so my plan is to clear it all back and use that to start compost, then freshen the beds and plant new seeds. I don’t really know what I’m doing but I’m looking forward to it! Plenty of useful videos here, thanks.
Your enthusiasm has me feeling so excited! I’ve never had a yard in all my life, and I’m a new proud lawn owner, planting my first garden. So far I have two raised beds and I’m planning out what to grow.
Your laid back extremely informative tips here are just what I need! I have some space to the side of the garage ( now garden shed) and it faces West. So an ideal place for my first vegie plot! I have watched countless videos and tv shows but now I am ready to actually start! Thanks for the videos and Ill be looking at your website too. Thank you so much!
We are hearing impair and would love to have close Caption, is IT possible for uš? Thanking.
Enjoyed!
Very inspirational, it’s great to give people the confidence to give it a try 👏. l can see you get a lot of happiness from your garden, as do l. 🌎 😊👍
Hi my name is Nikki, I love just watching how you go about your garden .
❤️
This is by far the best channel I have seen on growing. Thank you for the channel and all the effort and content.
Hi I was wondering what area of the country you live in, I want to get sowing outdoors but am worried in case in too cold, I’m in the West Midlands, but can see you’ve already started planting outdoor, thank you, love hearing your tips
excellent video 🙂
I am so happy to have found your channel. You have great tips, and explain things in a simple and understandable way. I really love that you find solutions that are cheaper and more enivromental friendly. You are a great teacher. And I love your dog! He/she is soo cute.
I love your videos Ben! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙂
Great video! I’m beginning to garden with a raised bed this year!
Is it too late in season to start this now? We just moved to a new home, and there are 2 raised beds I’m hoping to start my first garden with.
With inflation I’ve decided to prepare before there’s no food on the shelves
Hi Ben, how do you keep cats off from defecating in your veggie garden. I have cats and I am worried they will defecate in my veggie garden I want to create.
You are always such an inspired "mentor" for me , ha ha I have planted direct over the grass with cardboard , with leaves and branches from the Forest and also ,what you did ,a kind of pallet collar , this year all cover with a nettle I find less slugs than ever inside my crop… Thank you
Does anyone add Fish Blood and Bone to their compost?
Or perlite (sp)?
About to start container veg growing.
Many thanks to all my gardening friends on here. x
This is great. I’m starting a raised bed vegetable garden for the first time this season and am really excited. Thanks for this video 😀
Dump ALL incumbents. They have made us dependent on mass processed food production.
I don’t know anything about gardening…
But after watching your video, it encourages me to start my own food garden 🪴 especially during these times of inflation and upcoming forecast of food shortages. Love your simple and easy to follow techniques. Your garden looks fresh, clean and pretty. Is how I would like my food garden to produce and how I would like it to look 🌞

The dog was looking pissed off that you broke all his sticks!
17:08 "If you don’t fancy all that bending over, you can go the other way!" 👀

rosie @ 9:00 lol
Rosie is the star of the show, she is so sweet.
Thank you for your videos, they are such a great guide; so informative, relaxing and relatable.
Much love to you and darling Rosie.

Finally a video that gets straight to the point with helpful and important information to start a veggie garden.Thank you
Loving your videos so so informative, very grateful, just got high raised bed, trying to decide what veggies to plant
I’m interested in starting my own raised garden. This video was very informative thanks so much.
Lol! Fishing out bits of plastic and glass sounds like our whole property from previous ownership mismanagement. It’s dreadful.
Hope I can help SIL start some beds soon at her new place. Thanks for the simple basics to get growing.
i must say your enthusiasm really gets me motivated. I am a keen gardener but have never grown food for consumption. Definitely going to grow some veggies
Relatively new to gardening. I’ve had some rough starting years. I will definitely be using your cardboard, compost, top soil method to start fresh, just to see if we can combat the weeds better from the start. It probably seems obvious to those of you who have gardened all your lives, but just watching a knowledgeable person lay out cardboard over living plants, not just pulling them out, gave me tacit permission to do the same. I appreciate this video so much!!
Great video! Very informative, entertaining and encouraging
