I have a huge supply! My neighbor gets chips dumped from tree companies in the corner right next to my yard 🙂 they mix it with horse manure with a tractor but a lot got pushed between some trees… anyways they can't get at it with the tractor so I can get all I want by hand 🙂
Don't think I've ever laughed so much at one line on a YouTube video as that unexpected gem of getting your sh!t together 😂
Ben, I have an extra pair of gloves I can send you. I think they'll fit! 😀
Harry Enfield!!
Where did you get your delivered manure?
lol the soil looks amazing, we have added so much to our allotment this year!
Lovely tx. Go Wesk..lol
Another great video. Thanks.
Another informative and entertaining video. Did you pick up the sliced weeds or bury them in the soil?
Truly a gardener's black gold.
Your accent makes even manure, sound dignified. Great presentation…
… your compost looks more like mulch ! I think it needs more time to break down …
Sometimes I have to remember most of these gardeners don’t get snow
He is so CHEERFUL about his compost in this video I thought he was going to smell or taste it!
I guess they don't have Harbor Tools or Costco in his area for a nice pair of latex gloves to keep your fingernails and hands clean. lol
I grew black eye peas in sand, the results were fairly good this year my crop yield will be abundant.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalms 34:18)
Ben, what are your views on bokoshi composting? I started because our house has a massive about of fruit and vegetable skins 🤔 it's all disappearing into the soil but I yet to grow vegetables in it.
Just found this channel, I love him! So educated and enthusiastic, great to watch, I'm hooked !!!
Time to get your Sh** together… literally! 😂😂🤣🤣😂 I do love your sense of humor Ben. Thank you for the laugh. 🤗
Love the accent and the plants drooling reference
Just picked up a bucket of free compost from my city eco station 👍 excited for my balcony garden this year
You have a lot of sticks and twigs in that compost.
Do they eventually break down too?
ANts in my compist pile….what to do
I never knew you cam use leaves as compost. We have a tree that hate with passion lol. The leaves fall daily all year around. I asked myself why are the previous owner plant the tree, our yard looked nice and clean for few hours when the wind blows there goes the leave i got so tried of raking it i just wait until it 2 ft deep then rake it and throw it away. If i only knew i can use it as COMPOST. As i am speaking there are plenty for me to rake lol. I am going to start saving it for my baby garden! Because I've been buying woodchips and picked the the falling leaves from my garden and threw it away i thought it was bad for my plants. Thank you for the information! So helpful
What's the benefit of making weeds grow first, wouldn't covering just kill them off? Clearly, I'm wrong, but I'm not sure how haha
