Hi Nigel, another good video. Is there any chance that you could do one soon showing how you harvest the worm compost, it would be very helpful.

I've always loved how organised your growing is Nigel, really enjoyed watching this thank you!

The worms everywhere have seemed to have liked this winter. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Hi Nigel, new subscriber here! Any friend of Terry's is a friend of mine. I'm in British Columbia, Canada and raise worms for our garden beds. I dabble in gardening from my mobility scooter too. Pleased to find your channel! ~ Sandra

I have done odd clips here and there. I plan on doing some footage of harvesting the compost and preparing it for use as seed compost 👍

Hi Nigel, how do you feed your leeks please? Great vid as usual.

Quality content as always. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Many tomatoes have different names depending on where you buy them. (A bit like some beers LOL) Strange that T&M sell both Crimson Plum F1 and Nagina F1 but nothing surprises me with them. Those trays are good - I have several!

@@MuddyBootz Any idea what the raised pips are along the top outer edges? Maybe to hold a propagator lid? I keep catching my finger hand on them when I level off the compost. I feel a job for the Stanley Knife coming on LOL

I’ve found the same with comfrey tea, Nigel, if left it loses its smell. I wonder if it is maintains its nutritional properties?

What was the small 9 cell tray you pulled the lettuce seedlings out of please?

They are cut from a 120 cell tray used by commercial growers. My local nursery sometime puts used cell trays out for customers to help themselves 😀

Hi Nigel......I've potted up around 15 Brussel sprout seedlings,but over the last 4/5 days every time I go into the greenhouse,1 or 2 just seem to have vanished.I currently have just 6 seedlings left,but I think I will lose all of them. Any idea whats happening ??

i've had poor germination with my tomatos and ob all things, sprouts. all were new seeds. i think it must be at least 7 or eight years since i was last able to sow a packet of seeds knowing they'd germinate....................brian

Same problem here Brian, Probably my worst year for germination

This may be a stupid question, but why not direct sow into seed trays? What is the advantage of pricking seedlings out and transplanting into seed trays? Seems time consuming.

@MuddyBootz

Hello 😊. For me, transplanting into individual modules allows each plant to develop its own rootball and it then has minimal disturbance when planting out into the allotment beds. Hope this makes it clearer 👍🏻
