Hmmm. It never occurred to me that an optical illusion withcolor would lessen bugs. We used to try to keep mosquitoes away with ziplock bags of water with a copper penny in it to keep Algae from blooming. 🙄
Great content as usual. I’d love to see someone like you take on trying to combine permaculture with aesthetic ideas. A lot of people with enjoy content like that.
Unless it’s just my computer, it seems like there is something wrong with the perspective with this video. Things are too wide. Maybe it’s just on my end.
Really enjoyed the program today.

I hope he doesn't find the infa mous clinton x x x tunnels while digging for a bush
Really really enjoyed this episode so much, I have come away with so many ideas 🪴🌺🪴 Thank You 🥰
I wish he could design my front and back yard. He has a real talent. 😍
These videos are so relaxing and enjoyable. 💚 💙 🧡 💛 💜 💗 💐💐💐 🌸🌸🌸
Interesting video. 17:00 Didn't knew that about the insects and colour blue.
Do you have a video where wenn can see from start to finish how water features, fountains and water bassins like in Minute 11:24 are build? 13:19 How is that little waterfall made waterproof? And if a bassin is not build in one piece how is it made waterproof? What water pipes are necessary? And what different kinds of water jet nozzles for fountains exists? How deep must a water bassins be? Does it depend on the hight of the fountain/ water jet?
And a video about the constuction of retaining walls and free standing walls, and pathways would be also good. Anything about constuction of garden elements would be interesting.
Sorry if I wrote wrong English words, my first language is not English.
I like your design except the Clinton part.
Did you dig up that boston ivy?
"SHRUBBERY"
I love Abelia. I’ve made a successful cutting from an Edward Gloucher and 6 others from my grandmother’s. I want a Caryopteris. I love lime green foliage and purple.
I think you were the first garden show that I ever watched on tv and YouTube wasn’t a thing. It was when I didn’t have a garden but wanted one. I have learned a lot from you and am glad I have reconnected with you. Lessons from the best!
What is the type of gravel that was used for the path?
immensely interesting and informative thx p allen
I so love your garden shows! Thank you for sharing! Which landscape fabric would you suggest using. I have very invasive wisteria runners in an old flower bed that my mother tended years ago. It had become so very overgrown, so I have had someone come in to clear that area.Which landscape fabric would you suggest using? Thank you again for sharing!
Great info on shrubs! Poor video quality, blurry and distorted.
I absolutely love that large red oak rabbit! What an ingenious idea by Merilyn to make good use of that dying tree.
U are the best period Not Question
