    Well done Linda, you got loads of jobs done there. That bindweed is a nightmare for you 😒. I hope the flood by your shed went away. Well done Doug for sorting the polytunnel and pathway. Great idea for insulating your compost heap. I hope the raspberries do well for you. Take care 😊

      Bindweed on that allotment is a right pain, digging takes so much longer pulling all the bindweed out. Having said that it's strangly satisfying too 😂 Thanks for watching Bethan and really appreciate your comments and feedback 🤗 ❤️

      Hi Rebecca
      Thank you so much for watching and your lovely feedback. It's much appreciated. ❤️
      I'm always looking for ways of using things rather than putting everything into the recycling, just like you 👍😃
      I will say hi to Danny for you, I'll be seeing him soon no doubt 👍😃

    I was told turnips planted into the vine weed can kill the weeds if left in the ground to rot and never tried it but
    Might be worth a try.

    I don’t put those green biodegradable bags in my home compost; It doesn’t get hot enough to degrade down. I put them in the council recycling bin which does get very hot. Loving your new channel.

    You are both doing such a great job on your second plot! It is really taking shape! I am so glad you managed to save your polytunnel. Great idea to use the polystyrene on the compost bin! You are removing sooooo much bind weeds! 😱 Another brilliant idea to use the old wood to level the path, great recycling! 😃👍 The raspberries look good! 👏👏😘💕🌸

      We have a Robin who visits and loved my work on my old compost darlek recently. The blue tits etc are so sweet just now as I'm feeding on top of my old concrete sheds daily as well as their normal feeders. Even the seagulls did a mass arrival this morning and I don't normally see them in my garden.

      @Feelgoodgardens  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi back from holiday Gemma 🤗
      The Polytunnel on the allotment wasn't as bad as we first thought and easily resolved phew! The patio flooded I think because I put the bark too high by the side of the shed. You just reminded me to take some off there, thank you 👍 It's only a 2 minute job too 😂
      I wished you lived nearer too then you could join us 👍 We'd never get any work done though as we'd be drinking even more cuppas and have lots more laughter 😂 At least you'll get more work done living further away 👍😂🍀🌷🥀🌱❤️

    If it's not cherry or plum, you can dig a trench and put the branches into it. Keeps moisture in the ground for long summer months.

      It's apple 🍎 Cheryl, that's a good idea if I can't make a feature out of it on the allotment. It's a shame we couldn't transplant it but it was too established to move. It might grow back though. You're an expert on features 👍😍❤️

    Hi Linda
    I do put those compostable bags in the compost and they do rot down well. Occasionally the odd one sometimes needs a second trip through the process.
    As for the fruit prunings if they are apple or pear do you know anyone who keeps rabbits as they love eating the bark from them.
    Keep up the great videos 👍

    • @Feelgoodgardens

      Hi David
      I think that's certainly made my mind up now. Not sure what they are made of even if they are compostible. 🤔

    Aww sorry to see your poly tunnel and the rain ☹️ just be careful the wind doesn't blow it about too much and it rubs holes in the cover. That's what's happened to ours at home on our door.
