Emma, please don’t let this get you down. Always enjoy watching your free videos ( I think people forget that they are getting something for nothing and that you put in a lot of work to produce these videos )and completely understand that you need to find ways to make money to support your channel, doesn’t mean people have to buy from them! I wish we could all afford to be so high and mighty and pick and choose where we buy from.. sending hugs xx
The garden mat is fantastic! I bought a green one and it is so so useful! PS this is the first year where I am seeing a lot of bug hotels. They are a lot of fun to make, but I have to say to have one ready to be hanged is always a nice thing :D I would like you to show us more bird feeders. I think Temu has a lot of those, and they deserve more than a couple of minutes.
Emma just a word of advice. Don’t stretch the hose without it being attached to a water supply. The inner water pipe will be ripped and will leak. I don’t know how I know this😉😀
Hi Emma, love sharing your gardening life, the poppers on the corners of your mat fit together to make pop up corners to hold the soil in, I have one because I don't have room to store a potting tray. Dibber darling dibber 😂😂😂😂
The grow bags and apron look really good 👍🏼and cute basket...oh watch what seeds you use to feed the birds the ones that get dropped on the ground can sprout in your garden... i learned the hard way lol you can buy no sprout bird seed 😊
Hi Emma, off to spend some money at Temu. Thank you for doing the video. I was shouting at you when you said dribbler as never heard of one of those. 🤣 Linda
Hi Emma I have watched your videos for quite a long time now one thing is you are a very honest person you say it how it is all the people saying they do not like Temu they don’t have to buy from them , I just hope it does not affect your viewers numbers I love your channel keep up the good work 👏👏
Ah thank you so much. My thoughts exactly. I didn’t realise this would be so controversial tbh. Just thought their gardening products were pretty good and wanted to share the discount code!
Emma you are the star of your channel you have so many happy followers who love your content you just carry on as you have done do what you want it’s your channel everyone who follows you are very proud of you and what you do well done 👏
Hiya Emma Thankyou for sharing wow they have great prices I wonder if we have Temu here in Ontario Canada? Oh Pips having fun in the background lol. Blessings luv 🇨🇦🐝
The clips are normally called tomato clips they are meant to be used on twine the twine goes close to the hinge there should be 2 little bits sticking out and the clips stay locked to the twine
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video and seeing all the fantastic garden supplies from Teemu. The range of products they offer is truly impressive, and I appreciate how affordable and reasonably priced they are. The bird feeder and bug hotel are both delightful additions to any garden, and I love the convenience of the foldable features.
Temu is great I got few things for my new allotment I just got great prices gardening and dimond painting is always in my basket lol food saving stuff is good to
Love your videos… always. Also love Temu, placed many orders, never a problem. Everything has been great quality, one thing I tried to return due to size ( I ordered bigger thinking it would be smaller!) they just refunded it with no return. Also received £5 credit for delivery been one day late. If the price drops within 30 days of purchase they will refund the difference.
Emma its your channel and you spend the time and effort creating it for our enjoyment, so do what you want! We'll still be watching even if you started promoting plastic plants 😂
Or does it cut out the middle man (high street stores for example) who buy often the same products from the same factories who then significantly increase the prices?
Unless you buy made in the us, uk , or Canada items, it always comes from cheap labor . These things are all things you would buy at a big box store like Walmart or Amazon at a higher price but it's from the same places
I was just about to say the same. The stuff in Walmart and Cosco etc is all made in China if you are from the USA and in the U.K. we have do much stuff made in China. Amazon does too! It’s the world we live in. If not happy then just don’t buy.
I had wondered about Temu as had seen both good and bad reviews. Like many platforms they are basically middle men for different companies. Unfortunately it has been shown that they do not check their suppliers (or turn a blind eye to keep things cheap) and some of whom are known to produce their products in labour camps in Xinjiang. They need to clean up their act.
TEMU abides by a Third Party Code Of Conduct They have a zero tolerance policy for vendors that use forced Labour. All TEMU vendor must comply with local wage and hour laws and their working conditions must be safe and non abusive.
@@gardenadventure01 We only have your word for it that TEMU stated what you say . Its easy to write this spurious comment without any evidence to prove what you have printed is not fabricated.

If you Google "Temu forced labour" it is the first article from the Retail Gazette a similar article was released by Associated Press.

I’ve bought from Temu but some of the stuff had to go back. They have a really good return and refund policy. In fact sometimes they say keep or donate to charity and refund. I didn’t know about the supply chain so will check it. Obviously Chinese!!
I feel it's so positive seeing you be paid for content!

This is all on Shein mostly cheaper w same disc vouchers im looking at green net white net twine slug trap 0.88 pence Prob same company platform looks same but yes non comparable prices I always check here before buying elsewhere I don't like temps promise fr free stuff marketing game
Thank you so much for this Emma. I saw Temu just swamping faceache and then everywhere else. Went on the site and just didnt trust it. Will have more confidence now 😊
I was the same! But honestly, particularly for those essentials, it's great value for money. Everything arrived in great condition and you'll see me using it all in future vids too! x
I love Temu. I buy all my craft and some gardening supplies from them. They are great and fair retailers. I discovered them 6 months ago. I also bought an apron about 3 months ago - has been really useful. very strong and the pockets are very large and strong- perfect to put hand tools in. Thanks for the link for discount Emma- brilliant! :-) x
I have seen very bad reviews about temu people not receiving their stuff and that forced labour is used hence the cheap prices. While I like the things you showed us I would prefer to spend a bit more so I know that the products are ethical x
Hi Emma. I appreciate ALL of your videos. If you choose to use your channel as a vehicle to earn money that is your business. I know the time and effort that goes into each video. Lastly, TEMU is no different than Walmart, or any other big box store except they are direct from the manufacturers, thereby less expensive. You continue to be you and your true fans won’t abandon you or your channel. There will always be naysayers. We don’t all have to agree.
I’ve never bought anything from Temu and with their low prices they’re not the best option for ethical and environment reasons but for people to get on their high horse a bit of a reality check is needed. How ethical are those brands we pay top dollar for, components for phones, computers, electric cars? I imagine none of them have bought anything from China before either…. I like your channel and for the haters they can always do their own channel and show us all how it’s done. XX
This is very true! I don’t judge anyone for where they buy their products from, especially in this current financial climate and with mortgages sky rocketing.
Well said. I'd say 90% of our goods are from China and if made here or US there will be components from China and we cannot know the circumstances of the work force.
Temu has the individual sellers but send everything in one package unlike wish with each item sent individually there for far more environmentally friendly
Hi Emma I've seen temu often but didn't know if it was a scam. I think its£10 minimum spend. But was yours a good experience? Did it take ages to arrive and did you have to chase it??
Just to be clear, I was paid to promote them and so bare that in mind when I say that my package arrived on time and in perfect condition. I understand other customers have not been so lucky, but I’m unable to offer anymore knowledge! Sorry. Just trying to be as transparent as possible x
I have ordered from temu and it arrived within 2 weeks when you place your order it gives a delivery date and if it’s late the give you £5 but Bare in mind everything is shipped from China
Hi Emma. Talking about ads, can you confirm something for me please? I read that creators dont get paid on the ads if we skip them, so i always let one or two play all the way through for the creators i subscribe to and regularly watch in order to give a little support. Is this correct? X
The ads that you can skip pay more if the audience watch them, yes. I don’t really get to chose where TH-cam put the ads in my videos, or whether the ad will be skippable or not! Hope that helps! X
Okay everyone hates Temu, but wow… the comments. She knows now and probably won’t use them again. Let’s not chase her off TH-cam for trying to earn a living, eh?
Blimey, you lot have just turned the comments section into a playground! If you dont like the video or what Emma is promoting then just dont watch this one. I am sure every single person you know does something that you dont agree with. We are all grown adults and as such, need to respect each other for our own decisions and beliefs. We are not all the same and you have no obligation to buy from Temu. I think some of you owe Emma an apology! Its pathetic behaviour to be honest and so indicative of how opinionated people are now. There really is no need. .
Well said. I can’t believe the comments. So many are rude and unnecessary. Why do people think Emma should continue to grow her channel and make videos and never earn a single penny from it..baffling 🤷♀️🤦♀️ Being a TH-cam creator is a profession nowadays (yes that makes me sound old). Emma I adore you and your videos, I’ve learned so much from you and your content and you’ve given me the confidence to just “whack it in” and see what grows. I’ve ordered some gardening bits this evening as I thought they were perfect for being on a budget. Thank you for sharing xx
Everyone getting upset... she makes content for free . You don't pay for her content . It's a lot of time creators put in and it's not crazy for them to want to make money
Thank you for your allotment videos, I am new to the allotment world and learn a lot from you. Please excuse me but I think you are making a mistake supporting Temu. Please investigate this Chinese online store and where and how they manage to offer products at such low prices. There is a human cost to the convenience they offer.
Appreciate your comment and glad you enjoy my videos. It was my choice to promote them and the company reassured me that they are sustainable with their gardening products. I understand a lot of people have issues with the company. There is no obligation to purchase from them.
there is a human cost to everything..... @martin5504 Do you investigate all the products you buy you must have alot of time on your hands if you do.... What about the electirc cars they want us to drive & all the lithium mines no-one seems to question that though. 🤔 Love your videos keep up the good work Emma....thanks for all your hard work....people really need to remember that they get the content for free its not like the TV.....❤❤
It's time for people to step down from their high horses and face the reality of our interconnected world. While preaching about sustainability and ethics, we often overlook the uncomfortable truths surrounding our own consumption habits. High street clothes, for instance, are often produced using cheap labor in unethical working conditions. Even our beloved iPhones contain parts manufactured in questionable circumstances in Taiwan. And let's not forget about the origin of our coffee or tea-is it truly fair trade? Before casting judgment, we should acknowledge that living truly ethically in a complex global system is challenging, and no one is exempt from scrutiny. It's time to embrace humility, self-reflection, and stop merely pointing a finger at Emma.
I normally love your videos, but temu does nothing to make sure it’s suppliers are compliant with modern slavery laws, there is probably a reason the suppliers can afford to charge so little for their products. 😢
@@laylamorgan4018 Here we go again!! Who made you the boss of people’s opinions!?? If people are gonna create videos then viewers are entitled to post a comment without the likes of YOU being an absolute cretin and criticising them for it.
@@66REDD66as for people having the right to give their opinions i totally agree but wait a minute weren't you telling people to "run along" and "mind their own business" when they commented on your post 😂😂
@@christinerees50' it's pretty hypocritical to be complaining about someone promoting a company that in their view uses cheap labour whilst using a device that uses cheap labour to be made.
Emma I loved your channel and I even bought your gardening journal. Lately however I’ve noticed you’re promoting things more and more during your videos (which a lot of YT creators do) and offering discount codes which I do understand helps you financially and that’s totally fine, but I preferred your videos when they weren’t chocka full of lengthy ads. This site however is really bad and full of cheap tat from China and cheap labour, and that’s if you’re lucky enough for it to be delivered!. There’s no way I’d order anything from it. Im very shocked you’re promoting it. 😳😩😩
You’re right, the ads do help me out financially. This is my main source of income now and we have to pay our mortgage! Secondly, most of my videos do not contain ads. And when they do it’s only for a minute or so. It just so happens a few ad deadlines have fallen in July, which is unfortunate but can’t always be helped. And thirdly, I haven’t heard many negative things about temu. They cut out the middle man (retail stores) and offer discounted prices and during this cost of living, I thought it would be helpful to my audience to see how good their products are if you choose to purchase from them. Completely understand your points, but I’m my defence, I have put out almost 500 allotment videos and very few of them contain ads and for the first year, non of them were even monetised.
@@emmasallotmentdiaries Sorry if you don’t like what I’ve written. Other viewers have also written negative things about Temu. I HAVE noticed an increase in the ads on your channel though, despite your reply, and they do last for quite a while. I always skip them as they go on and on. All I’m saying is they spoil my enjoyment of the videos. I’m sure I’m not alone with this opinion. It’s just a shame your channel has gone down the route of so many others in trying to cash in as much as possible. I liked this channel as it used to be a bit different. 😟😟
No I appreciate what you’re saying, it’s your opinion and I respect that. I understand that my videos used to be totally ad free but I was earning no money and there’s no way I would have been able to continue creating them for free. Each video takes me hours to make and doing that kind of work for nothing is not sustainable. I’m sorry you don’t enjoy them so much anymore. Videos that are adverts are clearly marked with an #ad so maybe just don’t watch those ones 😊
@@emmasallotmentdiaries I think they are talking about the TH-cam ads which are normally at the beginning but have started appearing part way through as well.
That's TH-cam. It's how it works. People dont create content for nothing. It's time, money and a job. If you don't want to support a company being promoted then dont buy from them, quite simple really (although pretty much all usual/affordable shops in the UK are selling the same mass produced in china tat anyway) and if you dont like ads splash out a tenna a month for youtube premium and get no ads, same as people do for any other video subscription such as netflix, disney+

@@laylamorgan4018 has Emma advertised smart phones on her allotment diary channel too ...must have missed that one or has it been removed ?
@@christinerees50' it's pretty hypocritical to be complaining about someone promoting a company that in their view uses cheap labour whilst using a device that uses cheap labour to be made.
Emma I loved your channel and I even bought your gardening journal. Lately however I’ve noticed you’re promoting things more and more during your videos (which a lot of YT creators do) and offering discount codes which I do understand helps you financially and that’s totally fine, but I preferred your videos when they weren’t chocka full of lengthy ads. This site however is really bad and full of cheap tat from China and cheap labour, and that’s if you’re lucky enough for it to be delivered!. There’s no way I’d order anything from it. Im very shocked you’re promoting it. 😳😩😩
You’re right, the ads do help me out financially. This is my main source of income now and we have to pay our mortgage! Secondly, most of my videos do not contain ads. And when they do it’s only for a minute or so. It just so happens a few ad deadlines have fallen in July, which is unfortunate but can’t always be helped. And thirdly, I haven’t heard many negative things about temu. They cut out the middle man (retail stores) and offer discounted prices and during this cost of living, I thought it would be helpful to my audience to see how good their products are if you choose to purchase from them.
Completely understand your points, but I’m my defence, I have put out almost 500 allotment videos and very few of them contain ads and for the first year, non of them were even monetised.
@@emmasallotmentdiaries Sorry if you don’t like what I’ve written. Other viewers have also written negative things about Temu. I HAVE noticed an increase in the ads on your channel though, despite your reply, and they do last for quite a while. I always skip them as they go on and on. All I’m saying is they spoil my enjoyment of the videos. I’m sure I’m not alone with this opinion. It’s just a shame your channel has gone down the route of so many others in trying to cash in as much as possible. I liked this channel as it used to be a bit different. 😟😟
No I appreciate what you’re saying, it’s your opinion and I respect that. I understand that my videos used to be totally ad free but I was earning no money and there’s no way I would have been able to continue creating them for free. Each video takes me hours to make and doing that kind of work for nothing is not sustainable.
I’m sorry you don’t enjoy them so much anymore. Videos that are adverts are clearly marked with an #ad so maybe just don’t watch those ones 😊
@@emmasallotmentdiaries I think they are talking about the TH-cam ads which are normally at the beginning but have started appearing part way through as well.
That's TH-cam. It's how it works. People dont create content for nothing. It's time, money and a job. If you don't want to support a company being promoted then dont buy from them, quite simple really (although pretty much all usual/affordable shops in the UK are selling the same mass produced in china tat anyway) and if you dont like ads splash out a tenna a month for youtube premium and get no ads, same as people do for any other video subscription such as netflix, disney+
I notice she has no jewelry on, doesn't temu sell cheap ass flea market jewelry too??
