For 3 years I've been saving 2 grids that were part of a metal bedframe as "one day I'll use them in the garden"... just realised they will be perfect hanging from the polly tunnel roof!
Very satisfying! That's exactly the sort of thing I do too 😂. Totally justified keeping it all those years
Huw, I believe your climbing roses would benefit from being woven horizontally across the space you've given them. They tend to bloom at the upper end of the stem. If you weave them horizontally, offshoots will grow up, providing you with more blooms. Love your channel!
Fantastic ideas that I will be incorporating. I love the fact that a lot of them are temporary and utilising the things we often already have. Thanks 🎉
Sliding the transplants from the gutter into the beds is fantastic!
Totally agree!
im so envious of your garden space and the weather seems perfect!! I have to constantly battle winds on the coast of West Cornwall!!! well done for your videos are very helpful. thankyou.
I follow you from France. I'm a french and I like that you do in your garden!! I take your good ideas for my garden ;-) . I learn et improve my English in the same time 🙂A bientôt et Belle journée à vous. Denis
I see you have a raised bed in between fruit trees. Love the idea.
The tree guard woven through bamboo- I have so much tree guard, and was never able to visualize using it vertically. I’m on an extreme budget this year and this is a game changer for me
I found this super useful. Great timing and reminder about how structures cast shade 😊👍
Great ideas! I am using quite a few of these type of trellises in my small garden, but the gutters are an amazing idea! I am stealing that one 😂
Thanks Huw, those climbing structures look beautiful, and those suspended seedling trays are genius!
If you'd want a more durable structure that lasts for years but is still very movable, one solution that works great for me is buying a sheet of reinforcing mesh ( the stuff that goes in concrete) which is quite cheap. I bent these into square columns, which you can do quite easily by hand if you buy the ones that have slightly thinner wires. Now we have these massive, lovely columns of beans and climbers in our garden, and because the holes are quite big, it is still really easy to pick harvest, weed underneath, and clear the structures in autumn. they don't need any anchoring, are light enough to move around, just plop them where you want them, and they look great in winter too!
I've got this - it was left behind by some previous owner. Half of it is holding up my peas and I'll use the rest somewhere else in the garden. I didn't think to just fold it into an arch! 🤦🏽♀️
I like the way you dry your groves… jazz hands 🤗. Seriously though, love the maximising space inside the poly tunnel.
Thank you, this is super helpful! 💚🌱I am growing much more crops vertically this year and the thing that I’m the most excited about is training courgettes up their poles and underplanting them with lots of other vegetables and flowers 🤪
Gracias! Muy interesante 👏🏻
Great information! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛💕
Brilliant. We'll be repurposing an old crib for vertical trellis growing this year. Ingenuity goes a long way gardening.
Cattle panels held by steel fence posts. They can take the storms. (Piney woods in Texas) plus they don’t have to be replaced. Unless that huge rotting tree from your neighbor’s yard falls on your garden when the winds kick up. Don’t ask how I know.
Very helpful upload, will probably use a few of your ideas especially liked the strawberries in the guttering , brilliant 👍
We are near Seattle and have similar junky weather as you. I've been watching for a couple years and went all in on vertical this year too. Wild how gardening ideas converge halfway across the planet.
HI Huw, really enjoying the channel. Especially as your tips will be relevant to my Welsh Garden.
Love this. I have got so many ideas from it. Off to find things to make vertical frames. Thank you Huw. 😊
Serendipity! I've just built three planter boxes with lattice trellises 😊 And I am now going to put in a "strawberry gutter" at the top of each! Excellent ideas!
Thanks for the excellent ideas Hugh!!!
Really good ideas
Fabulous, as always, Huw! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always something new to learn from you. Thanks Huw! ❤
I had a boyfriend in college that had a hanging bed. 😁. What can I say? It was the 70's.
How brilliant love this information thank you 🙏🏼
everything looks so good, and I love the idea of all the trellises, I have 100 million steaks so this works well for me! I inherited them from the previous owner of the allotment!
I just started making my trellis and it's looking good and strong. ❤❤❤ so happy you suggested this. Thank you.
Love the ideas.
Great ideas! Saving this video for when it comes to planning for next year 👍
Hi.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge about gardening ideas.
Can you please share some idea About DIY polyhouse. Eager to hear from you
Thank you so much for the amazing content!
Inspiring ideas! Thank you.
Hi Huw :) You should make sure the gutters you use are safe for growing in. Theres a lot of unsafe chemicals (pftalates in plastic for example) in many regular building materials that you shouldn't mix with growing your own food. Material safety is important when you incorporate stuff that wasnt necessarily designed to be used for growing.
I've been sowing peas in gutters for a number of years. I suspend them from strings in the greenhouse roof to keep mice from scoffing them until they are a few inches high. Top tip water the gutter well beforehand helps them to slide into the trench.
To create a little more space in my garden, I took 2 tomato cages and then put a board in them, to go from one to the other. Quick and easy way to make an extra shelf.
Thanks from Holland
Great timing thanks! 😊
Awesome!
Just in time to save me. This year is my second attempt at gardening. I was starting to sweat about what's going to happen when my peas, cucumbers, and tomatoes get big. I really like the bamboo sticks + tree guard idea. That seems achievable for me. I also like using jute twine. I need simple stuff that doesn't require building skills! I built a raised bed out of lumber which is useable, but full of mistakes (possibly caused partly by uneven lumber, so maybe not all my fault?). I was all set to follow Huw's book Veg in One Bed, but got too busy and ended up practically throwing seeds randomly into the bed, whatever I had, because it was getting so late in the spring. I'm very triggered by beginning new things I'm not already good at! I guess gardening is a good way for me to work on that. :)
Excellent ideas. If you live in windy areas, I suggest not using horizontal strings because the wind will break any plants right along them... Also, keep adjusting ties following the plants' growth. You can however, use horizontal strings if you place them in a grid, thus keeping the whole area from swaying too much (small 10 x 10 corn grid for example), and placing a couple of layers of string and moving the strings higher as the plants grow taller. Last year, my cherry tomato plants out-grew my small plastic supports and eventually reached over 2 metres in height, finally tied to plastic pipes and strings.
good video. These are good ideas. At the same time, it is a good reminder that majority of their viewers live in the city and have a small yard and no greenhouse. The ones with big land already know most stuff anyway and will not be spending that much time on these kind of videos.
Awesome
Thanks
I use a tree with many 1 cm thick branches to grow 3 passion fruit plants. The tree was there when I bought this house.
I've got another one. I use a fence panel that they use to protect building site's. It got left behind by out Construction companie. I also build a cicken cage out of it and this year I will to grow pumpkins on it
Cheers! 🍺
I love some off the ideas! Might end up using some in the garden my friend wants to transform.
He has a small paved backyard and he wants to get some raised beds in and such. Would it be a good idea to add wood chips in between the beds to get more life in the concrete garden? Or do you think it would be a bad idea?
Hi there. You hinted at a video about perennials, but I did not see the link?
I love that guttering idea for strawberries. Would you drill holes in the bottom of he gutter for drainage ?
Just did gutter planting in rafter of polytunnel.after mice got first lot of peas
Perfect timing, the string I tied for my peas isn’t working too well
My garden spring bulbs are being decimated by mice or voles 😢😢 any suggestions are most welcome. I am growing lots of beans up a wall of trellis and a bean arch. Thank you Huw have a great week, Ali 🇨🇦
👍👍👍
I have tried three guards last season for my peas, but the weight of the pea plants really deformed them.
love the video Huw! As i said in a previous comment, the visuals and content is amazing but your audio recently sounds very muffled and quiet !
👍
How many peas do you grow?
Huw: Yes.
What size is your bamboo?
Thank you.
Some of these structures look too light. I tried netting and bamboo last year and just broke. Do you nip tops off peas to stop them going up too far too?
No video link at the end - pointing to the sky 😁
Are those metal raised beds really fairly comfortable to perch on? Or #Okforthepurposeofaquicktakecamerashot
he is perched between the metal beds, maybe he has a stool hidden there, lol
Very good 👍,🥬🏞️🥦🐝
Can you grow squash upwards?
I am this year. Did melons last year using baler twine tied top of polytunnel, then knotted end under melon plant when transplanted from pot. Found better than stick to climb up as they toppled over with weight
🌈💚🍀
🌸👍🌸👍🌸👍
Details of how to make green house structures please
I see that you have peas right next to onion. I was under the impression that onion stunts the growth of the pea. Is this what you have noticed?
Xin chào ❤
Quick tip, if you want it to sag less, rotate the wooden beams 90 degrees, they are stronger that way. 0:39
I don't use the netting, the birds and lizards get caught and die a slow death😢
Am i First?
No.
@@zuzauramek9850 of course, ..not
Why do people care about being first?
@Erin K they don't.. its just a comment to support this channel 💁🏽♂️
@@marcrenato3484 Got it ;)
