Hey Kirsty, really good video. It’s the same method I’m using. Collecting cardboard is a mission sometimes, good advice on where to get. Keep up the good work. I did notice the sound is a bit funny sometimes. I’ve just ordered a mic as I am experiencing the same problem on my channel. It’s not expensive at all. Mayb worth getting one. Keep posting!.

Yes I’ve got two microphones now so i can have them charged up and ready to go 🌿 yes definitely ask around for cardboard as it saves businesses having to get rid of it 👩🏻🌾

I’m going to do this exact same thing with the cardboard in a raised bed and then put kitchen scraps in all winter. I’ve got a bunch of weeds in the raised bed that I can’t get the roots of weeds out because it got away from me and I’m disabled so weeding is a lot harder! Just subscribed!

I find multipurpose compost fine in my no dig raised beds. No need for any soil improver, that’s what the compost is for!
@mylittleallotment

Yeah normal compost is fine, i just have lots of different styles of compost/soil improver/mulch etc to try and use. This soil improver is really thick and will act as a great mulch on these raised beds which helps holds in the moisture over the summer and as I’m planting squash and pumpkin they are super hungry and thirsty plants so I’m doing everything i can to get the beds in the best condition possible l. If i was just panting anything else i would be using multipurpose 👍🏻

What were the types of pumpkins. I think the grey one is crown prince. That’s what we call them in nz. Don’t know orange or green ones. Are they good eating? Do you collect your own seed etc?

Yes i do save some of my own seeds but didn’t do any seed saving last year as i struggled to get any time on my allotment. I plan to do more seed saving this year 🌸🌿 yes crown prince, queensland blue and uchiki kuri 🌱

Yes you can just put compost on, the extra layer of cardboard just help stop the weeds. If you are filling up a raised bed from the ground you may not have enough compost to just fill directly. So then you can use lots of other layers of material and lots more compost just to get it filled ready 😁 x

@@mylittleallotment thanks Kirsty…I have raised beds on my plot which I’ve built up with cardboard, manure, improver and compost. Just taken on the adjoining plot so that’s been a mammoth task but rewarding, looking forward to the new growing season now 🌸x

Hello, I’ve never bothered wearing gloves unless I’m tackling the brambles. I think i quite like to be able to feel what I’m doing properly 😌 its a great grounding technique too x
