I can’t think of a reason for ivy to be planted anywhere
They just don't make em like they used to anymore, do they? The brick builder even gave the structure some interesting patterns, taking it up a notch! What a cool reveal. And, yes! Great way to repurpose the soil from the driveway.
I loved your cheeky smile after you knocked the camera over!😅. You were even able to show us your ball kicking and 'baton' tossing skills today. 😂 .(ok, the baton part needs some practice, but Im certain you will master it in no time!)
I actually said, "Oh no!" Out loud when the video was over! 🥹. I was so utterly enthralled and so sad it was over so soon. I can't wait to see what little delights you will find next. Sending lots of blessings your way from Washington 💛🖤💛 Stacy
Very jealous of the shed! A real work of art with the decorative design of the brickwork. This series is really enjoyable and so worth the wait. As always an excellent job. Ivy in the right place is fine, it’s a balancing job so it doesn’t destroy whatever it’s growing on! Keep up the good work. 🌺🌹🌸
Very good
Beautiful place 🙂
What a cute little building. Now we can see it without all that ivy.
Sure hope that they fix the roof that is a very neat building took some time to get that Ivy of 👍💯
Hi, Martin. You've done a terrific job. Bravo
Love the architectural details on that shed. I wanted to know if you tried one of those lovely apples. Thanks for the videos.
Lovely job Martin. 😊
Great job Martin! A lot of work but looks amazing, curious as to where the vast amount of branches and tree limbs are been taken😊
I have to agree about the ivy, it is a rampant killer. At the end of the day you need to decide whether or not you are dealing with a garden or a wildlife place. Bramble roots left in the ground will quickly regrow. All off these videos I see appear to be for the quick fix, being able to show the effects of the clear out but all of us gardeners know that upkeep is paramount.
Victorian/Edwardian potting shed ! They took alot of pride in their gardens when many plants were brought back from overseas.
Amazing work!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Look forward to each episode!!!
I blame the ivy, it probably choksd the life out of the tree that fell on the shed!
Don't know why, but this is so darn fascinating to watch!!
I would like to know what that plant is and all those plants that you have around you. ❤
cool du benutzt eine Motorsense von Dolmar 😎👍

Wonderful shed!
I love that building. Great work rescuing it!😊
Hope you cut the ivy from the base of those trees? Looking great
As I watched you take on the challenge of the ivy around the old building I saw an apple hanging from an apple tree and was taken to the Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge and the beautiful song "Jesus Christ the Apple Tree" so I played it while you worked. Such a beautiful tribute both to you and the apple tree! It suggested to me that the small may seem insignificant but may in fact be very important in the economy of life. Thanks for a great video.

Four plants I am NEVER planting on any property I own in future: Ivy, roses, brambles, or maples. Bane of my existence at my current place! 😂
Such a pretty little hut
Once we planted ivy at the back side of our house! It slowly grew up on the wall. At some point it was under the roof.😅we decided to remove it. Now its everywhere in our garden.😮
Particularly in our hedge it feels well!😂🤦♀️i remove as much as i can every summer, but it always comes back again on another place!😅
Watching all these gardening shows with ivy removal scares me. I am in Tasmania, Australia and it has started popping up in my yard everywhere even though myself or no neighbours have planted it. Bird poop I am guessing. At least it’s not near any buildings.
I hope you're going to take down the tree trunk that the ivy killed & take the ivy off the other trees too before it kills them.
It's all about the wildlife , your giving them a chance to find a new home by doing the garden in stages. pleased to hear your composting and not burning garden waste. Another great video. Pam 😊 ,🦔🦇🐁🐿🐇🐸🐦⬛🐌🦋🐛🐞🐝🪲
Hi Martin, what a difference you have made to the little shed, its lovely. Ivy is like a cancer, it chokes the life out of everything it touches. Are you going to be living in this property? I can hear a blackbird so I assume it is in the UK 😊
I personally do not like ivy
Becareful when you pull, damage can occur to bricks, plaster
Why don’t you work with a crew
I’d buy the property just for that shed! It is absolutely perfect for the garden and the architectural features are just on point! You did a wonderful job uncovering the perfect accessory for the garden. Between brambles and ivy it’s a tough call on what’s worse! Looking forward to the next installment- this is great! 😊🎉
Я буду ждать каждую серию , а их будет много судя по всему !
Мне нравится просто смотреть , как преображаются заброшенные сады , но я бы умерла от усталости , если бы столько работы делала 😅
Начинаю сожалеть , что посадила плющ . хотя он и возле забора , но я буду стричь его часто и тщательно ) интересная постройка , надеюсь мы увидим , что там внутри 😊
Очень интересно, люди , которые вас наняли для работы , они будут после уборки заниматься этим садом и зданиями?
What a cool little building. although it does look a bit like a crypt. I would love in my yard.
That was a lot of work! It looks amazing now!
