Huh Fig tree Pond Grape vine 2 composters 2 water barrels BIG bundle of watering hose Spare tire for a wheel barrow Frame for a poly tunnel (nicely sturdy!) Looks like what was left could save you a BUNCH of money!
I bet Shane was so pleased you chose to help him out and now he has basically got a clean slate to start his projects. Great work both of you and nice to see a frog too.
Was fascinated with Shane’s alotmdnt. So glad you helped him. Real tools make a difference. Hope you continue to be there and help him. Logo is awesome❤❤❤❤❤
The frog has to be named Gary after the missing member of your team 😂 I suggest the no-till method instead of digging the weeds out of the new beds, gather loads of cardboard and convince Shane he needs to invest in a bulk load of compost
👍 I like this idea the only issue is access gate into the allotments is steep, and the walk from the gate is very narrow it not impossible but would need to have a look into it
Figs do very well in this country! - had some beautifully ripe and sweet ones from my friends tree for several years … am umming and aahing about planting one myself. House along the road has a huge one in their front garden, prolific fruiter Oh and a name for one of the frogs (or toads) you may have is obvious ..... has to be Gazza!
Hello, this vid is reminiscent of your days with Gary, I love the allotment idea that people can use to grow things because people who live in a city don't have the room at home, a wonderful government initiative. All weeds and greenery without seeds can be used as compost, thanks for the vid Alex cheers!!🥰👍👍👍🙏
Before you go planting, I'd suggest making and placing slug traps around the yard! Have some dishes of yeast and water or beer and place them in some low dishes or saucers. Caffeine also kills them so if you have coffee grounds, spread them around! It'll also be beneficial to plants or if there's a coffee shop around see if you can get a bag or bucket of coffee grounds that otherwise would be thrown away. I go with the coffee grounds method but also mix in diatomaceous earth as it too is a pest repellent. For the fig, apple tree, and grape vines you can use copper strips around the trunks/base of the vines as slugs really don't like them. If you have some budget you could get copper screens and they'd need to be at least 6 inches tall above ground (hold on that 's in Freedom Units, I think that would be 15.5cm across the pond for you) and buried a few inches in the soil. Slugs get a shock that they don't like as their slime trail and the high conductivity of the copper gives them the shock of their life!
You two are very hard workers and you make me laugh! You accomplished quite a lot! It is starting to look like a garden again. Poor snake. Take care and will see you next time!
great job with the clean up! so glad Alex came and helped. the pond needs cleaning, stagnant water is a recipe for mosquitos and their eggs are in there too. Put in a closed circuit water feature to circulate the water and you will have more frogs and toads come hang out in that pond. it's cool to see the frog there, It's a big frog I would call it Brutus or brute for short. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you grow in your garden. Fresh soil is needed as the slugs have robbed the soil of its nutrients. Good luck with keeping it low cost. Show us what you got going on. super excited for you.
I would love for shane to work with me maybe in the future if the channel hits 1 million followers and we make some money 🤣🤣 but for now we will just crack on and keep doing what we are doing ,
First building project should be a double compost bin setup. On to pile in food scraps, dry grasses, etc and the other to turn the compost into. Some have 3 bays, the third is for 'finishing' the compost. Two big rocks placed close to the edge of the pond and frogs and the other water creatures, bugs can get a drink without drowning.
Hi Alex & Shane😉....Glad You 2 Are Working Together on This Video, Free Makeover on Shane`s Allotment!! I Didn`t Watch This Video On June 22th, Because It Was My Birthday,🎂 & My Son Visited from June 21, 22, 23!! I Think I Would Call the Frog..."Froggy" !! 🐸 You 2 did a Marvelous Job!! 💯 See you Alex or With Shane!! Take Care & have a Lovely Evening Alex & Family!!❤ Shane You as Well!! 💖 Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
Hi, great job when you have tools with more power...lol Cant wait to see what happens next. Maybe give the frog somewhere to hide from the birds !!!! Stay Safe watching from Tasmania ❤️🙏👍🤗
Ah man you got me wanting an allotment again!!!! I suggest a name for the frog is Jeremy 👍🏻 that’s one nice sized plot that can be developed nicely greet work guys 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
We don’t have allotments where I live in Texas but this is looking wonderful. You’ve put a lot of work into it that will give back to you ten-fold congratulations & can’t wait to see the next episode! I thought the frog was actually the head of a gigantic turtle 🤣. I remembering a song about Jeremiah who was a bullfrog!
Hello from the States. Shane’s allotment looks like it’s in sorry shape. Shane, you needs to wear pants when you string trim, or your legs are going to take a beating. Lots of work to be done. I know you guys can get it done. If I were there I’d come over and help. 👍🏻👏👏
I know its a bit like chalk and cheese because they are designed for two different jobs Technically, but that do you prefer? ego or stihl, I went back to using the ego hedge trimmer multitool, after using the kombi with hedge trimmer, and have to say the ego is much lighter, the activation switch is so much better, but wow the power is so underwhelming after using stihl, I was originally a stihl 131 kombi petrol but went to ego, because I wanted to go battery, after having problems with the batteries, I invested in the stihl battery kombi 135r. its heavy that bloomin switch when hedge trimming is a ballache, but really is a powerful bit of kit, just need that switch sorting.
Does your local council sell compost? Most do from their recycling. Cheaper than going to the garden centre! Our local household recycling site also sells stuff, and they stock a lot of garden tools. I do not understand why people just not sell the contents with the garden shed when they sell the house. Just so the new owners needs to be new tools!
Sadly with all the modern gardening tools available today that takes the hard labour out of gardening and yet seeing the people having no time to manage their garden is a growing trend in seeing how much trash is stashed in their gardens seems to be a general worldwide trend to falling standards of living is the reason why we have littering in our streets and countryside and people accumulating so much rubbish and buying objects that are not fit for purpose and global trends of merchandise and advertising that people buy things that they don’t need don’t live up to their expectations and do what they claim they do. It’s marketing and strategy to consumer spending and the throwing away mentality of society today. The world is suffering from food shortages and seeing people who have massive gardens and they are overwhelmed with overgrowth of grass and weeds and trees self seeding the brambles etc. back in the early 50s and 60s I grew up with families having a vegetable patch and growing fruit trees etc and my own father spent all his time tending the garden and it was pristine and not a single weed. The front garden was a seasonal planting of flowers and neat lawn mowing was an old fashioned push mower and no grass collecting box and rakes and sweeping up the grass cutting. No hedge trimmer just garden shears. He worked in the building trade has a plumber in all weathers. Having 6 children to support the neighbours all had beautiful well kept gardens and tools that involved manual hard work. Today people have more time on their hands but choose television and internet and mobile phones etc to leisure time and enjoy going out more often than doing the garden and maintaining their home. Looking back to my mother and grandmother slaves to a wash tub and wood dolly’s and mangling to sqeeze out the water from the clothes and rinse everything by hand to no automatic washing machine and tumble dryer. Pegging washing outside. People today have become more lazy and unhealthy habits and overeating and can now not physically do anything because of their unhealthy lifestyle. Obesity is a global problem in many parts of the world where fast food and convenience stores have sprung up. See the bigger picture of people riding around in extra large vehicles and eating themselves into an early grave. The internet is full of people who have disabilities from being overweight and can not maintain their own homes and gardens is growing rapidly. Plus people are not interested in making a conscious effort to take care of their own environment to save their own environment is a global issue.
Shane - lovely to see things coming along, cheers. By the way, all they dandelions can thrown into a barrel of water and they turn into a lovely liquid fertiliser. Alex: how long before you told Shane how to turn on the Stihl??

Shane is adorable. Good for him to take on something outside his comfort level. Getting out in nature is what it’s all about. Blessings
Absolutely 👍
Thank you
I bet Shane was so pleased you chose to help him out and now he has basically got a clean slate to start his projects. Great work both of you and nice to see a frog too.
Very pleased!!

Yes, thank you
You do nice work. So nice that you’ve found the fountain of youth

Wonderful progress made. Looking forward to continuing reveals in and around the allotment. ✨
Glad you could help Shane with that allotment Alex! Moving along nicely! Toads will naturally get rid of the snails.
Thank you 😊
Wonderful hearts!
Well done lads. You are ready to go. Rhubarb makes a great crumble or torte too! Enjoy your gardening and frogs! 😊
Oh yes!
A huge improvement, now Shane can get started planning his garden.
I hope that you & Shane will continue these videos. I've enjoyed seeing the progress and would love to see more.

Hi great project..the pond needs cleaning out . Its algie
Ah thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!
Good job! I like Shane's future allotment layout.
Thank you 😊
Allotment updates are mandatory now! Should the cover stay over the pond to protect them from hungry birds etc? Can’t wait to see more! 😊
The covers back on now! Thanks for watching!!
Good job . Good of you to help your mate . Will he replace Gary lol. Catch you next time my love. Love new logo 😊😊😊
I would love for shane to work with me maybe in the future if the channel hits 1 million followers and we make some money 🤣🤣 but for now we will just crack on and keep doing what we are doing ,
Not sure if you share this area with others but it clearly needs to be maintained.

Two big rocks placed close to the edge of the pond and frogs and the other water creatures, bugs can get a drink without drowning.
Ah good idea thanks!
Yay! 🎉🎉🎉
Great job you guys 🙂 ! 💚🌼🌿🐸

Nice size allotment there. Didn't think it was that big under all the overgrowth.
Yeah its a nice one!
Also Simplify Gardening is another very good channel to help you , also to set up a compost using pallets.
We don’t have allotments where I live in Texas but this is looking wonderful. You’ve put a lot of work into it that will give back to you ten-fold congratulations & can’t wait to see the next episode! I thought the frog was actually the head of a gigantic turtle 🤣. I remembering a song about Jeremiah who was a bullfrog!
Thanks so much!
Nicely done.
Keep crackin' on.
🙂👍🏼
Thanks, will do!

You need to skim the pond a little bit, put in potted Lilly's for shade.😊
Good thinking
Fig jam, and rhubarb cobbler are wonderful.
Yes they are!
Good job. I advise you watch Charles Dowding- No dig gardening.
Great old song, Jeremiah was a bullfrog ... 😜😜😜
Excellent job! Two heads are better than one! LOL.
You got that right!
He is not green but kermits the frog is a good name. Thanks for the video 😊
:) great choice
💚👍👍👍

Looks much tidier Shane I think your frogs should be called Freddie,Frieda & family
😂😂😂
the frog needs to be named Sunny, since it is such a vibrant yellow. They will certainly eat the slugs.
Oh yes :) 👍 good name x
Your a good friend Alex, Shane’s garden allotment is coming along nicely 🙌🙌🙌
Thank youu
👍🏼
His name has to be Jeremy! Hope we get updates on the allotment……… another branch of the gardening tree.
If you are doing more beds, maybe rent a tiller to turn the soil faster. What does Alex say: work smarter not harder. 😂
😅
I know its a bit like chalk and cheese because they are designed for two different jobs Technically, but that do you prefer? ego or stihl, I went back to using the ego hedge trimmer multitool, after using the kombi with hedge trimmer, and have to say the ego is much lighter, the activation switch is so much better, but wow the power is so underwhelming after using stihl, I was originally a stihl 131 kombi petrol but went to ego, because I wanted to go battery, after having problems with the batteries, I invested in the stihl battery kombi 135r. its heavy that bloomin switch when hedge trimming is a ballache, but really is a powerful bit of kit, just need that switch sorting.
I think I prefer the ego but they are very similar tbh
👍🤩🤩
I love your the new logo.
Thank you 😊
You got rid of those beautiful dandelion greens! They would have made a nice salad or tea.😊
Next time!
How’s your old mate Gary doing. I miss his smiling mug.
He’s doing great 👍
Shane, apple cranberry pie...
Name for the frog, Jasper
Good answers 👌
Cover up the frog place so the birds won't get them. Good work boys.
Ferdinand ❤
Good name!

Thanks 👍 😀
Apple crumble!
The golden Gary frog. you can call him Gigi for short .😂
😅
Slugs- dig a hole and plant cups level with the ground and put beer about 1/2 way. Slugs love smell of the yeast and will die in the beer.
Ah good tips thank you!!
Lottie, for Allotment.
I like it 😎
I like the name Old Yeller.
Like it 👍🏻
Hi I see you have switched to ego on the strimer and mower do you think they are better than stihl.
I think I prefer the Ego, but they are close

The pond is probably to have frogs which will eat the slugs and snails,
Shane - lovely to see things coming along, cheers. By the way, all they dandelions can thrown into a barrel of water and they turn into a lovely liquid fertiliser.
Alex: how long before you told Shane how to turn on the Stihl??
Ah nice little tip , thanks 🙏 haha it took him a couple minutes to figure it out it is child safe 🤣
Geramia was a bull frog!
You need to get rid of a lot of the extraneous vegetation from the pond. There is way too much rubbish in the pond.
Reginald? Frankie?
Im still missing Gary.
Same
Shane...you need commercial equipment to tackle your property
Very true
Garry the Frog
😅
Kermit the frog obviously 😎
😅
So I see stakes sticking out of the grown, what is that for. So all of what you’re doing on here is not your entire plot?
I think they are markers from previous owener
Frog name edgar
