New Mum Needs Help With Her Garden! TOTAL OVERGROWN jungle | Of course I said yes | TRANSFORMATION

  • A new mum with a three month old baby asked for my help to clear up her garden, she's only weeks away from moving in. No way could I say no to this job, she sent me pictures and called for my help, I said yes without a second thought.
    I was limited to time during the initial tidy up, the weather forecast was grim to say the least. I estimated 3-4 hours to get this job to some level of completion, I hope its enough.
    I knew lots would still be left to do, but without knowing where the garden is underneath all the brambles and trees there wouldn't be much I could do.
    Hope you enjoy this little overgrown garden transformation.
    Thank you so much for watching,
    Martin The Garden Guy.

    I'm so sad that she was going to have to move in with the garden like this, it must have been really overwhelming for her, especially with a new baby. Well done to you for not only creating a nicer space, but for taking some of that worry off her shoulders! ❤❤

      Honestly, I was quite concerned as well. I moved my work diary around to get this one in really quickly. And traveled a lot further than I normally do to 😅
      But I'm glad I did. It was quite a bit of fun. You never really know what you're gonna find in a garden like this 🤣
      And the job seems far from done yet.

    Instead of a string line, try using a Blade head. It will cut Bramble easier and mulch it quicker for you to remove.

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +28

      Totally agree 👍 but like a Muppet I'd brought the brush cutter blade head but not the hex wrench to swap it over 🤣

      Haha, honestly, I didn't know where to start either 😂 you'll probably notice I was darting around a little. And I've been doing this for over 25 years 😂
      Dreaded Blackberry bushes is a pretty good description 😁 I only like them for one month of the year.
      I've seen one or two of George's videos, seems like a cracking bloke. Very hard worker. And he works in Tasmania, I've considered emigrating there a few times over the years! 😅

      So I improvised 👍Although it worked out ok, there were actually loads of tree branches and thick saplings growing within the thicket. Over 2 inch thick 😂 so the brush cutter would have been limited anyway. I actually really liked using the old hedge cutter, worked a treat 👍

      I've actually already done a second visit to this garden, but I still have more to do. There are so many hidden parts to this garden, so hopefully part two will be ready by next weekend 🤞
      Thanks again.

      It's a good start, but still quite a bit to do. Those brambles are going to need pulling up.
      But thanks again so much for the lovely comment. 🤗

      @martinthegardenguy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, that's the plan 👍 also going to have to figure a way to stop them coming through the back fence where the gate is.

      @martinthegardenguy  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha, yes, indeed. A brushcutter would have helped. I actually have two of them, but unfortunately, I didn't bring them on this job.

      It was far more fun.

    you need that power tool that has a spinning blade on the end and not the whipping plastic string. (america we call that a weed whacker). but the yard cleaners in asian countries use that alot because of the vines they deal with. i have seen some UK cleaners use it also.

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah 👍 we call them brushcutters. I have one, but I didn't have the hex wrench with me on the day to swap it over from the strimmer head to the blade head. So I improvised 👍

      The big clearance was the easy bit really 😅 there is no finesse in bulldozing the over grown bit. But it's is enjoyable 😁
      Took me two more days just to do the rest of the bramble removal and sort the trees out as well as the corner climbers (aka The Cave Of Wonders) 😉

    In the first place the sellers or real estate people should have cleaned up that place. I wouldn’t have accepted anything that looked like this. I know the lady must be anxious to move, especially with a new baby. That patio and other pavement would really benefit from a good power washing! I’m looking forward to the next segment of this clean up. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh hi, thanks for the comment 😊 Unfortunately the previous resident had passed away, and apparently, the garden had already been "let go" before this. In the UK, estate agents don't have anything to do with the condition of a property. They just simply sell the place, and there is still lots of competition to buy properties.
      I've already done a second visit and third planned for this week, so 🤞 it'll be done 😁 part 2 should be ready by the weekend.
      Wow, it's been a tough one though 🤣

      Does that mean the new Mum will get to keep the pots? A couple of them with new mix in and some silverbeet seeds, swiss chard to you maybe, would give fresh greens for the wee one.

      @martinthegardenguy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think that's a great idea 👍 I love the way you think ☺️
      My kids still love running outside to get strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. from our garden.
      I will definitely suggest this to her and give her a hand setting up. Chard is a brilliant plant for them to start with 👍❤️

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think you're right, I'd guess a minimum of a few years of absolutely zero maintenance.
      Sadly, it happens quite a bit. Especially following a family bereavement, etc.
      It's was well loved at some point, though. I could tell because I found birdhouses and bug hotels and things like that. And the remains of some lovely plants.

    Clear cutting is a start, then using a herbicide on the regrowth to permanently remove all weeds, vines, etc is the only way to go.

    • @martinthegardenguy

      It's definitely one way to go, but I'm an organic gardener, so I don't use herbicides. I prefer the hard work method 😊😂
