Let the leaves stay. As they break down they put good nutrients in the soil. The soil will compact some with the rain over the next few months so you'll have to top it off after about a year or so. You will also lose some as you pull out dead plantings. It looks great!

Hey Ali, had you guys thought of buying land and building your dream home that way instead of renovating this one? My husband and I are doing this as we've spent over a year searching for the right house and just couldn't find one that didn't need allot of renovations, so we've decided to build it instead. Could be close to the same price as the house + all the renos.

Oh God! I sat down and wrote so many things that KZitem decided to cut out the half comment OR I did something stupid and deleted the comment myself😅😅😅 I wrote Ali’s name because Ali told us in another video that his actual name is Alistair! As many of you don’t know Alistair delivers from the Greek name Alexander!!! Yes! The name Alexander is the most spread name in the world!!! It has been translated into many languages and adopted by many nations! First things first, Alexander is a Greek name and its etymology is this: Αλέξανδρος / Alèxandros Αλεξ - ανδρός / alex - andros Αλέξω + άνδρας / alèxo + àndras Alèxo is a verb meaning I repel, I’m pushing back, and àndras means male/man So, Alèxandros means the one that repels the other men (the enemies) and keeps safe his country/family whatever! Of course, it spread globally because of the notorious Greek Emperor Alexander the Great! The king and Emperor of the Makedonian Empire! The translations of his name are the following: Alasandar : Ireland 🇮🇪 Ալեքսան (Alek’san) : Armenia 🇦🇲 Alexander : England 🏴 Aleksandër : Albania 🇦🇱 Александър(Alexandūr) : Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Alexandre : Portugal 🇵🇹 Alessandro : Italy 🇮🇹 Alexandre : France 🇫🇷 Александар (Aleksandar) Serbia 🇷🇸 Aлександр (Alyeksandr) Russia 🇷🇺 Aleksandrs : Latvia 🇱🇻 Aleksander : Estonia🇪🇪 Sweden🇸🇪 Norway🇳🇴 Finland🇫🇮 Slovenia🇸🇮 Poland🇵🇱 Alejandro : Spain 🇪🇸 Alexandru: Romania 🇷🇴 Iskander : Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 Egypt 🇪🇬 Iskandiar : Iran 🇮🇷 (Persia at ancient times) İskender : Turkey 🇹🇷 Sándor : Hungary 🇭🇺 Sikandar : India 🇮🇳 Xander : South Africa 🇿🇦 Xandru : Malta 🇲🇹 אלכסנדר : Israel 🇮🇱 And finally : Alasdair and Dair are in Gaelic languages 🏴 Scotland, Wales and England, they are all speaking English but every places has its own language! Welsh language has Celtic roots! Scottish and Irish have Gaelic roots! But Irish and Scottish are not quite the same languages, there are many different ways to write the name due to the differences between Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic! Alasdair, Alistair, Allistair, Alisdair, Aleister, Alastair και Alister are all the same name, Alèxandros! I don’t know if you have Scottish or Irish roots but your name is from Scotland/Ireland!

So exiting with the bees 🐝 I just want to share a little tip and share a story. My parents once had two beehives in their garden and my yorkie got stung. I found out that he was allergic to bee sting and fortunately my stepmom had antihistamine that we quickly gave him and therefore saved his life. So I just want you to have in mind that sweet Lumi might be allergic and can get stung if she tries to catch the bees around the garden and in the woodland. I'm not trying to frighten you but you might want to consult with your wet and get some antihistamine in hand in case accidents happens.

It’s a fair point. We actually have three active bee hives within half a mile of the house and often have honey bees in the Garden so Lumi is already susceptible to stings, it’s a great idea to try and pick up something for her. I’m also concerned about people who visit which is why i’m going to be taking a h&s course.
@PernilleScharbau
3 жыл бұрын
@@AliGordon Okay so she is obvious used to lots of bee flying around and hopefully won't be as interested in them as my yorkie was. I definitely think that the course is a must. My parents took one as well and learned so much from it. Also a good point to have in mind that humans can be allergic as well. We actually had an accident where a bee got inside a bee suit and crawled up a persons leg but fortunately nothing happened to the bee or the person. After a couple of years they sold the colony and hive because of my dog and small grandchildren in our family. To bad because they really enjoyed the hobby and the honey was so so good. I look forward to go along your beekeeper journey and hope you will inspire other to keep bees and give them a helping hand to survive in the future. Also I would like you thank you for excellent content and I'm really enjoying your weekly vlogs.
