Great episode!
Huw you’re ace! Appreciate and enjoy your videos very much indeed!
The soaker hose is an interesting way to water 💦 your plants 🌱 even when you're not able to go to the garden for a few days 👍
Yes, sun scorch absolutely is a myth. There have been organized experiments to determine this and to my knowledge none were able to produce any examples of sun scorch. Anecdotaly, I have never experienced sun scorch on any plant either and don't know anyone who has.
I have many sites that I cant get to on the regular.
A soaker hose on a gravity feed might be perfect!
Do we still need to water in december/january – i live in london if that helps
I’ve ended up using about 8 inches of hedge clippings on my terraces this year! Have limited access to compost and manure as our allotment site broke ground 2 years ago and it’s taking a while to build up the soil (mainly clay and shale) and I currently save all the compost I make for seedlings as it makes the most difference there.
I have worried about using so much fresh mulch but as long as I plant deep enough into the compost layer underneath it seems to be working ok 🤞
And thank you for the nettle tee recipe! Used molasses and the plant are loving it! 🤩

Yup that all sounds good. That's what I like about your videos, your ideas always make complete sense👍
With our very hard water, soaker hoses get completely clogged up in a year or two, and have to be replaced with annoying frequency. Regular drip hoses last longer in our case, and save so much time and water, versus manual or sprinkler watering! Also, less weeding, because we’re not watering the pathway as a sprinkler would.
Love your videos!
As always Huw, a great video, thank you.
Huw, what kind of flowers are you holding in your opening segment? They’re stunning.
I disagree.
How to water is equally as important as when to water. Overwatering, and underwatering, and not watering when plants need it can kill whatever you have. Doing all 3 of these previously mentioned actions can kill plants, or tress, or anything else that grows. Something can easily go wrong when growing something!!!
I speak from experience by the way!
A slug is a pest, and what you are growing has NOT been treated. Pests are not good to have in a garden. Properly treating plants should prevent from having a pests problem. I will strongly emphasize on the words properly treating!!!
Such a great video!thank you
Would you like a road trip to Stranraer to cone help me with my garden. Free b and b ❤
Have always heard to only water before noon.
