Even my son asks me to watch your video. He doesn’t know English but anyway watches and always say let’s watch that tomato planter guy:)
Tomato 🍅
I just love you, your attitude and your humor!!! and of course your knowledge!! thank you so much for sharing!!!
Lee I am so glad you have new content I’m in Washington state, US and I have majorly improved on my garden skills due to your channel. I am glad you are feeling better!
I don't know how I end up in your videos but Thank you very much!! You are one of a kind! I'm already growing my avocado tree and gettint inspired by your videos I'll plant some more different trees and build a better environment for my plants. Thanks man, you are amazing!
Great to see you back!
I really LOVE this video! It has all the links necessary like the eggshells and banana peels so I can prepare and add nutrients to my plants.
So good to see you! Great topic and perfect timing, thank you!!
So happy to see you again 😊
Great video,Thank you!
Good to see you back on youtube again and having thought of your health situation. Please take good care of yourself! God bless you!
Thank you for the videos. I love how simple you make everything. Bless you
I'm so happy to see you back. Whenever there's a large gap.between videos I grow concerned for your health.
I'm watching the latest video you posted regarding the good and bad of utube... got me wiping tears and laughing all within the first few minutes .
I love hearing whats on your mind. You are such a great, strong, caring individual. You've inspired me. You've lifted me up when I've been down. Shown me that life can be shitty but at least I'm not alone struggling through the shit. 🤣😂🤣😂
Your smile is so contagious!!!! Thank you so much for your straight forward approach to your videos.
You show us how to do things affordably and easily. And reminds us that you are a human just as the rest of us. And as that, you too have struggles in life. And sometimes we have to learn to get joy from the smallest of things in order to get through the hugest obstacles in life.
I continue to keep you in my thoughts of health and prosperity 💫
Stay strong my friend. You bring light and hope into my life by sharing your passion for gardening and family.
Thank you.
Thank you for the informative video! Organic is the most fulfilling way to grow
I'm intending on growing my own fruit and veg this year. Your videos have been a huge help many thanks 👍
Good to hear! they always taste so much better home grown :)
Love your videos! Love and light!💐💐💐
Love your gardening videos. Very simple and easy to follow along with. Thank you for the help!
You're welcome :)
Again, awesomeness! I think I'm in love with your channel. I'm all over it now.
But not in a weird way.
Love this kind of information. Thankyou.
Thank you for the information on what pearlier was, ‘cause I thought it *was* styrofoam. You always teach me something new!
Perfect time to be back, cause spring is on the rise! Cool!
Very clear and I can follow your instructions easily. Each video makes my gardening time longer.
Thanks for posting up these old videos, Lee. Hope the operation goes really well x
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
You are very welcome Rebecca :)
Really enjoying your videos!
AWESOME VIDEO!! Thank you sooooo much! Im going to use this right away, cause I just got my strainers delivered today and Im soon transplanting my tomato seedlings! Its my first time growing tomatoes and Im very excited. They really perked up when they got the banana water!
I have garden soil that was in a farming zone, and I had chickens. My soil is rather rich, but I use amendments as well, to lighten it up.
Thank you for sharing this awesome tutorial.
Thank you, it helped me.
Wow that so good! I've been saving my clean egg shells and drying banana skins, so I will be making me some of this! Your so happy (for a pom...lol) and inspiring keep up the good work 😉👍🏽🇦🇺
this is actually a really great tutorial on making potting soil, a lot of commercial potting mixes are not that great and are poor in organic matter. Thx for the video really enjoyed it, I really needed a way to make potting mix so thank you
I've been watching a couple of your videos and find the content very well worthwhile and the presentation of some professiinal quality. Glad you are on the mend, take it easy when picking up things, maybe get some help.
I just find you very useful tips thank you very much
Great video. I am a beginner since my husband and I are in the process of building a house. I have always wanted a garden full of vegetables, fruit and flowers just like my grandma.
Thank you for helpful tips
My god I needed this today!! Just fixed up my plants and about to get ready for the spring!! Thank youu
Good timing :)
Love your idea of using the sieve to "shred" the leaf mold! Will definitely be trying this out tomorrow so I can start using the leaf mold I've been making.
Excellent video!!! EXCELLENT!!!!
Thank you for the excellent presentation!!!!
Learning soil mixes is so fundamental to successful gardening that the more we know, the better we garden!!!
AND thank you for not putting music into your video!!!
So many content providers stuff in music and sound effects and other exaggerated hand movements, it is absurd!!!
Thank you for creating a pleasant and effective instructional video!!!
I give this video a 9.5 out of 10 👍🏻
All the praise and not a 10 out of 10? haha ;)
Hi Lee, great to see a new video. Looking forward to getting started in the garden soon :) Keep well and all the best.
Great watch..... Love your methods of composting leaf mold, your banana and eggshell ferts.... just FANTASTIC. SUBBED!!!
Oh wow! Just found your channel and am digging through the content! I'm cheap, or I prefer frugal lol... And I'm looking fwd to trying your soils and ideas this spring! From the mtns of Ga,USA
Just subscribed after looking for alternative to peet and your video came up. It’s so hard to get advice when you have an unusual yard. We moved to high Southern California desert in retirement. Put it this way, Death Valley is one hour west of us! Several local trees but I was spoiled by coastal calif where winter is no freeze and everything grows all year round. Now I’m dealing with 4,000 feet elevation. I’m used to using drought tolerant plants but all my succulents in pots died when the freeze came early and we were out of town. Summers are 3 months of 100 degrees. Winters are not totally bad. A few days of snow but can go down to 17 degrees. Mostly 20 so found some plants that survive down to 10 degrees or come back from roots. The dying off in winter has some advantages though. Ive not bought any yet until I check varieties that do well here but roses have no bug issues because unlike coastal calif they die back, so everyone says! And they love the heat. Interesting too. True English Lavendar loves it here. It doesnt even die back on top. We have many trees and added more so I’m starting to save the leaves. My partner was just throwing away. I was digging them over. The soil though is crazy. Some areas are total calcium. This has us doing things like picnic bench on pavers and a future BBQ pit. Will also do some rock gardens. Plenty of rocks came with the yard. All you have to do is dig down. They’ve come in handy for retaining walls and other uses. A local lady with a lavendar ranch makes compost for $40 to full the truck bed so in luck there. I’m going to try the container aging of the leaf mold. Anything to break up some of this soil. Will also look at the rest of your videos. I may be saving egg shells and banana peels too. I make a lot of banana bread.
Great to see you playing in the dirt. You put a smile on my face. 😄
haha! thanks :)
It's really such a great idea to break apart the leaf mulch a little bit more using a sieve like you did, Lee. I've never thought about it before.
I also do a start potting mix but the only thing I do differently is that I do not use epson salt, usually I add worm castings to the mix instead. Nevertheless both ways are great, rich and nutritive mixes to use around the garden.
In addition, I hope you're feeling better already and your life is becoming more satisfying. Keep doing these amazing and very informative videos about gardening.
A great thumbs up and a big hug from Portugal. 😉👌
Love your videos, thanks for sharing
Wow this is helpful. Gonna make something at home. I will try to keep my kitchen clean 😁👍🏻

Good to see you back. Thank you for an informative and funny episode ❤️
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Really great to know! Thank you so much! Although I'm not new at gardening, I'm always looking for new soil to use!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm working on making my own 100 percent potting mix. Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks! Very informative and I'll make up a batch as soon as the snow and ice are gone.
Good to hear! Thankfully we had some awesome early sunshine today. Can't wait for Spring :)
Good to see you back.! :)

Excellent!!!
Wow many thanks..glad I found your channel..
Very helpful. Nice.
Excellent!
Great video!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Hope you're well :) Great to see you making videos again!
Thanks Lassie, I'm still unable to walk but I'm putting out these older videos to keep people happy :)
Lots of good information on your channel! Thank you :-) If you want to shred large amounts of leaves for mulch or to make leaf mould, lay them out in a line on your lawn and go over them a few times with your lawn mower. Works really well, just rake them up and put them in your pile (or bag) They break down much quicker this way. Happy Gardening!
I absolutely love your content 🌱 ... definitely subscribed 👍🏻
Thank you!!! 😊
Thanks for all your good tips mate.
You're welcome :)
Thanks for sharing
great one.been using oak leaves for years,never noticed a difference...however i knew about pine and spruce needles,not good stuff all the times but helps when planting christmas trees and acidic loving plants.nice video thanks
Oak leaves are acidic fresh but once they have completely rotted down they become neutral but you can't use them like I did in this video. They'll need between 3-5 years to full compost :)
One has to use ones best tool, i.e our hands for mixing, pricking out, planting, potting etc.... never mind those who think it is not good to use ones hands bare. But I have to mix huge amounts of potting composts, so I have invested in a concrete mixer... it makes short work of mixing the potting compost. It is only for compost mixing, så never used for concrete. Lovely to see you back btw, and hope to see you more this year.
Welcome back man!
Thanks :)
Brilliant thanks.
Great video
loved ur video
Thanku for helping Earth
Just watching this video with headphones on and I hear a sodding ice cream van so off with the earphones and up to the window to check if he is nearby, then I realise it's on your video; talk about being conned still that's the big kid in me being a greedy sod and just to let you know I am 70 but still feel like a young lad in my brain its just the body that is done in lol.
Glad to hear a senior who's still sharp in mind though. Best of luck with this year's crops.
Awesome video! 👏 I have learned something new. Thank you!
When I do planting it makes me happy and takes away all my stress and I like to get my hands feel the soil instead of wearing the gloves 🧤 guess you’re not the only one who feel that way lol 😂
Love your stuff man
Thanks :)
My man's back !!
Kinda :)
Very good video
I love your channel,
Oh my god, you are amazing!! 💚🌱🍀
oh wow! thanks :)
This is definitely one of the most helpful and informative channels on gardening I've come across so far as a beginner, very useful and fun to watch also. I'm sorry to know that you have some health problems, But I have no doubt with positive attitude and smiles like yours, things will get better and better, I'll be watching, keep it up mate :) Greetings from China.
Good to hear! Thanks :)
Hi Lee, great to see you on again, hope all is well and Grandad is thriving. I make my own potting mix annually using leaves (leaf mould), spent coffee grinds, lots of cardboard/newspaper, home made compost and grit or sand. Virtually free, could add perlite at the end 👍🏻 I will now add eggshells and banana (although already in my compost).
Well done you! your soil must be awesome :)
Glad to see how active you are, keep it up! By the way, could you make a vid on how to grow mushrooms as well. Thanks!
Awesome
I am so happy I found your videos. You are a wealth of information. I did try to tap into your Amazon recommendations but it continues to divert to UK and not US. Sorry. Love all your videos and tips.
That’s a good one

I'm glad :)
I watched the vid you did on your health and all the bad luck you had in your life hope things are getting better for you and thanks for replying back to me and bless you for taking time for doing the vids
