Ohhh.. I can't wait to watch your new video's Richard. I'm so excited for new video's. I'm your big fan huw Richard ☺️ planting vegetables is very important to have a beautiful healthy body.
Good morning from US 😊
Doesn't nettle sting? Is that a sort of non stinging one that you grab in the start of the video and eat?
Chop and drop can spread disease. Putting it in water and letting it sit in the sun then using that water doesn't though. The fiber balm go in the compost pile to go back in the garden later.
The tip i was taught was whatever you grow put it in the water and let it brew in the sun then water the plants that you used to make the water. The easiest way is to just add all spent garden plants and use that in your garden. Some people use separate buckets for each plant but I don't have time or space for all that so i just use them all …i'm one bucket. Throw grass clippings into a bucket and use that as a powerful nitrogen booster for nitrogen living plants.
Chickens love eating the spent plants from the compost pile too.
Good evening from Philippines ♥️🥕🥦🥬🥔🌼🌱🥒🌻☘️
Afternoon from Cumbria. Uk
Love your channel👩🌾
Thanks Huw, currently doing "weeds in Water" using excess brassica leaves and silverbeet leaves. Works great! Thanks for the extra information, cheers! 👍
Does the fermenting plant soup give off a stench?
Just bought your newest book. It's excellent, even as a longer term gardener and fan of permaculture there are loads of new tips in there that are so useful. Love the simple, clear, peaceful presentation. Very nice read. Great for dreaming up plans for next spring during the darker months!
Great information! Thank you so much! Your garden is beautiful! I wish I had your green thumb and knowledge. I am 50 and trying my best at gardening. Lots of failures. LOL
It’s quite a nice sunny day here in Nottinghamshire! I’ve been chopping and dropping, raking and chopping leaves and out to weed shortly, I’ll grab a bucket Huw 😂👍
I throw it all in a bucket, some soil and mulch, and a week or two later I have compost tea. I installed a plastic drain at the bottom so I can easily transfer to a watering can.
What about the anaerobic fermentation? How is this different from say straw and chicken manure? So many people insist that you have to use a bubbler.
Sprouted seeds have beneficial enzymes and amino acids. Why some growers want to avoid this in their compost is beyond me…
Nice video, mate. I'll be keeping in mind this for the future
