have you tried sheet mulching that scotch grass with cardboard? i wonder if that will work..
@catfish222banjo That's worth a try. While I was making that part of the video I was thinking of landscape fabric but it has it's own problems too with trying to keep mulch on it on a slope and stuff growing down into it like seeds etc. I'll give the cardboard a go, thanks for the idea.
hi brendan, bit unclear about that tagging thing does that mean video response? thanks for the ballyhoo
@garryentropy Yeah, it's basically a way to get your mates to make videos, I think, LOL. You have already made a garden plan video so just add that as a video response to this video and then people will be able to see it. Or, if you are feeling bored, you might want to do another garden plans video to include other stuff and add it as a response here.
Thank Brendan great to see all of your plans for this year. Your gardens are already looking great and you have blooms already wonderful. Our snow is all gone once again and it is 9 degrees out this morning. A very unusual winter for us according to the forecasts for the next week or so it looks like we will make it all the way through January without a major snow storm. Thanks for doing this video. Dale
@baconsoda i live in a rainy climate and as long as i put the cardboard out when its wet, or i hose it down before i put more soil on top of it or woodchips on top, it seems to stay in place for a while. although on slopes it has rolled downhill a bit, recently i put some logs at the base of the downhill to hold the material from falling into my pathways. happy dirt playing!
@dalecalder2003 You're welcome. Actually, it's very useful to put plans on…well, video because now I have a definite set of jobs for Summer. I've found planning to be the most important part of my enforced retirement because I need goals to keep me motivated and active. Weather – same here, we are going to get down to 0C this weekend which is quite a change from the 11-14C we have had lately. It's the end of the World… knowing my luck I'll miss it.
Brendan.
@baconsoda also…. hahah i am lazy so i dont even pull the weeds anymore, just cover them up with more cardboard/newspaper/paper bags then top with soil/woodchips. there are too many ' weeds ' to spend time pulling them all i agree!
There's too much bloody cold and rain here for me to even want to think about gardening! I'm lying….I'm thinking about it….pondering….pottering.
@garryentropy Thanks Garry. Also, you can tag a few people if you wish to see their plans. I forgot about that bit.
@garygardens LOL, this is why I always seem to be frustrated with my work rate…too many plans.
@IrishWoodDoctor That is a pile of crappy Leylandi. I cut 56 of them down one Sunday afternoon. Workshop tours and plans are welcome.
Good luck
Thanks for tagging me!! I'll try to post a video response on sunday! Tomas
Brendan, You have a monumental task a head of you. It will be hard work, but when it's done , you can stand back and look at what you have accomplished. It's months of satifaction, that makes it well worth it.
Wow, lot of work you have planned, I am thinking about downsizing. Seems like our plans are never ending and you are right about having a reason to get out of bed.lol Good video.
Good luck with your plans this year!
Hi Brendan, I will make a video tomorrow about my 2012 garden, I think, talk to you later, Eric
Very nice plans – Good luck with everything 🙂
@Teddybearcop48 Thank you. It's still vold and wet here so it will be another month before any real gardening starts but I'll probably put a video up before I start to have a 'Before' video for 2012.
@mugsyjeff Yes, it's Monkey Puzzle and I am getting nuts this Autumn. I saw a programme on TV recently and the guy was eating Monkey Puzzle nuts so I'm looking forward to that. I'm sure there will be a video about that.
@AsianCookingmadeEasy Thank you. Sorry I'm so late but I'm a bit behind with replies because Y'Tube did something strange to my account but it seems to be almost fixed now.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
