really helpful thank you
I have a new allotment. It needs a lot of work but I'm getting there. Definitely going to try the cardboard mulching.
Thank you. You've explained this in the most understandable way for me!
Thank you! Should I use cardboard if I do not get weeds in my raised beds just to draw worms to my garden?
A question I have, might be stupid but I’m new to this (be kind, thank you) Should I mulch veg bags/ pots if I’m not going to be using them again? Or empty out their contents (clean the pots and squirrel away in shed) and store the old compost to mix with new next year? Many thanks in advance 💚
Would you cover your bed with something like tarp after mulching with compost ect if not using? Just wondering if the rain would wash out the goodness.x
I would’ve put landscape bark over the top as you’ll end up with a ton of weeds on that compost from seeds dropped by birds etc. If you’d covered it with Strulch or bark, no weeds would grow
Well said Emma 👌❤️
Fantastic video,loads of good advice.thank you Emma xxx
I like mulching but so do my neighbour's cats 😫 do you ever use bone meal/fish, blood, bone fertiliser in your beds/pots?
wait are plot inspections a thing?
Hope no one uses there old Lego for mulching as you suggested in your list of things to use.😅😅😅😅
I love this, thank you for sharing! And you are so right, no one wants to be burnt to death by poo ha ha!
Super helpful, thanks Emma!!
Emma your so funny, been burnt to death by poo is hilarious, great tips thank you.
Cardboard is cheap or free but find slugs sit under it. Membrane while plastic it does a better job. You can place manure under it. Will rot nicely under membrane
If you have any bare beds use green manure. Vetch is excellent. Feeds your soil. Terminate it march next year.
I use straw / hay
Plot inspection? Interesting… i have never heard anyone talking about inspections. Perhaps you could do a video about it?
Thanks for the videos Emma, I've just taken on my first plot and this is all new to me!
Compost question- so sort of related! Can I put weeds and grass in my compost heap? My head says I can, but I'm still not sure 😂
Thank you Emma 🎉🎉🎉xxx
Excellent advice, I do this and you’re spot on with everything xx
Great advice Emma, my guinea pigs give me absolutely fantastic manure when I clean out their house, straight on the compost pile and nothing wasted 😊
Also add coffee and tea grounds and leafs ,it dose wonders ,🤗
Also, grass clippings😂
Great job!
