FYI...rethink using any carpet in the garden Tony. Full of toxins, unknown glue and plastic fibers...just saying. U have worked so hard keeping it on the organic side.
I have always believed only woolcarpet with no backing should be used on plot as it will disintegrate and chemicals will get into the ground eventually. So think about it I would advise.
Hi Tony I use citronella oil. Its cheaper than peppermint and rats really really hate the smell Put a few of the drops in my Polly tunnel and they are gone.
Hi Tony I have tried a few things on my land and the 1st is I find ground control hides slugs and they eat the strawberries. As for rats well the ultimate weapon you would never believe is water. I know it’s hard for you to have alit of running water but as jones would say on dad’s army they don’t like it up em. I did buy a rat trap from USA it’s brilliant called uhlik repeater Good gardening Mandy
Hi celeriac does most of its growing in the summer months after planting and how well they grow depends on how much water they get and this goes for swede too and they stop growing autumn / early winter so they won’t pick up now they will eventually rot or go to seed. So it’s compost feed now tony. So it’s important to tend to them during the summer. You have grown and kept your plot brilliantly 👍🙋🏻
Lovely when the sun is going up or down! We have such an issue with rats down the allotment I love the holes with Neam oil pellets and that helps stop them. Rats are just a pain!
Honestly I’ve given up growing spring onion over winter In NZ don’t sow May June July it’s a waste of time. But most other months if I’m home at the right time to sow. But we’ll done if you can do it.
Hi Tony, I’ll be interested when you put your greenhouse up. I bought one last year not up yet. Was thinking maybe March time to start foundations. If you could do some videos on yours putting foundation down and fixing to foundation that would be great 👍🏻 thanks 😊
I use the same underlayment to line my grow light box Tony, in fact I also put it behind my plants in the window to reflect the light back, Had to just pause you there a few minutes while I popped over to the live with Mark..
Everyone is champing at bit to get going now....been to long 😆 lve started my Onions about three weeks ago and seem do be doing ok on the table by the windowsill,let's hope they come through and do me proud....new ones called Walla Walla from Sutton Seeds.A friend in Australia said there so sweet you can eat them like an apple and no tears,so fingers crossed.All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💞
I'm wondering if the fact that bed is higher is why it didn't fair as well as the lower bed? More heat generated from that freeze thaw off the ground. There is fancy shmancy science lingo involved 😉 that I can't begin to remember but it was explained by the weatherman here in 🇨🇦.
Nice Videos. Great propagation place, but aren't you supposed to take the seedlings off the heatmat, because otherwise they get leggy? Have lots of fun...

Thanks Tony for you videos. Great to see your still going strong.
The underlay would make a good reflector for your South facing window, help the plants stand up straight.
Nice update ❤
Every year at my allotment i see the same people try and plant early all thier seedlings & plants only too see them all die because of frosts.

i already have my tomatoes on the go, did it last year and had fruit middle of may, it really is a gamble though.

I’m considering buying a couple of heat mats. Are the ones you use any good Tony.? Do you have a link.?
Onions look brill

Carpets are a big no-no on loads of allotments 🤔
Onion seedlings 🌱 looking good 😊
Hi Tony what happened too ipod u had in shed
Nice Videos. Great propagation place, but aren't you supposed to take the seedlings off the heatmat, because otherwise they get leggy? Have lots of fun...
What is that notice that keeps coming up saying buy me a coffee?
Any idea where I can get a money tree to pay for all these Patreon subscriptions?😉
Feed the rats smash…. It kills them when it swells in their stomach
Great update Tony.👍
Nice looking growing area you have in the house there. I've no idea how the wife lets you get away with that though😁
Tony your stat probes meant to be stuck in the compost ?
It’s not.
@@TonyCSmith ahh right mine looks exactly the same and the instructions say put the probe in the compost but it might be different
Parsnip challenge? Count me in
