With the snow on the ground this video was a welcome burst of colour☺️I am totally in awe of Alessandro. Thank you for introducing me to his channel over the summer. I've been following him ever since.
Please tell me I'm not losing the plot I was sure I watched this yesterday? don't mind watching twice..
Absolutely great videos !
Glad to see this video back! I started watching it yesterday morning, and all of a sudden it disappeared and I got a blank screen. Now I got to see the rest of it. 😀
I love it! 👩🏻🌾
What a lovely attitude towards wildlife and gardening 😍
This is so inspiring.
I really need to find a way to maximise my space. I love pumpkins and squash, so would love to see how I can grow vertical safely! Any ideas?!
So the sliced plants were edited out.

What a glorious garden. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙂
Hey huw, how about a follow up on that edible rose garden? Maybe pruning tips etc..
Keep up the good work marra
Alessandro, I absolutely love this intensive style of planting. I can't believe how much you have achieved in such a short time. So productive. You are right that we need these green spaces in urban environments. I have just watched a video of Monty Don in Japan, talking about how this is encouraged there. Thank you for sharing your new allotment – it's beautiful! 🌼
Videos like this in the middle of winter are a tonic. Keep doing what you're doing, Huw… and Alessandro!
Very exciting to see what Spicy has done in such a short period of time.
Thanks so much for coming by mate, I really enjoyed spending time with you and Sam and I hope to see ya again soon 🙏🏻
He so right. Everyone uses a garden, people and wildlife. It’s so vital to make sure these spaces are also in the city ❤
2 channels i follow on a colab ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, love it
I amazed at how good this is. Glad to see someone showing others what a little effort and gratitude for what we have can produce–if people have a little vision. ❤
Music at the beginning is a tiny bit loud over the speaking, just a friendly bit of feedback.
Love this. By the way!
I love the combination of vegetables and flowers. It looks beautiful and is so healthy.
His allotment is as productive as his garden 👍🏼
It's Spicy Moustache! Such a joyful human!
Love following you on your path. Keep saving habitat.
You’re clearly such a kind person.
Fantastic space! Well done, Allessandro👌
WOW! My garden is about 6 months old… no way near this wonder
8 minutes in I hear Huw's voice in the background… It dawns on me I'm not on Spicy Moustache's Channel! Great video!
I've followed Alessandro for a while now – he grows an amazing amount of food in a small space – love him!
He inoculated the straw with what?
Really beautiful and inspirational 😊❤. What did you say you do with the straw please??? X thank you.
I miss my garden and summertime 😢
❤
Furiously beating my pecker to bloody mess watching this. Great video thanks mate!
You’ve created the most lovely garden! Looking forward to more videos!
What an amazing human I love his energy 🙌🏻
