Fixing the Vegie Patch

June 13, 2016 @ 19:40 By Gavin Webber 3 Comments

What happens when you neglect your vegie patch?  Well, it gets taken over by weeds of course.  Thankfully I managed to schedule a good couple of hours in the garden today; weeding, harvesting, and fixing the vegie patch.

There were so many weeds for the chooks to devour and even a few radishes that I found lurking in the beds.

I decided to document it with a regular video update on my new YouTube channel, so here is 9 minutes of my sunny afternoon in the vegie patch!

On Wednesday, I will be planting my garlic, broad beans, and snow peas.  I will record that gardening session so you can see what’s going on.

I plan on doing one each weekend so that you can see the patch develop over time.  It should be a fun project and keep me and anyone watching motivated to spend some time growing food in the garden.

Let me know if you liked this format.  It was easy to put together and as they say, a picture, or in this case a video, is worth a thousand words.

      I’ve got three buckets full of weed fertilizer at various stages. Here’s how I made it; https://www.greeningofgavin.com/2012/01/home-made-liquid-fertiliser.html

      In this instance, I converted the weeds into eggs 😉
