Nice videos, I learn alot of stuff watching you. I make trellises from cutting up the big long pallets into strips and then use the nail gun. (Only have one because I'm a gardener)Also the strips can be used to replace the top bit on fence panels when rotten but needs a chamfer edge with router.

Great job 👍

Lovely stuff, very enjoyable. Loving Speedy too!

The trellises look really nice, and now it feels really doable, so thank you for that. I'm super excited to follow this series as I'm starting a veg garden myself this year. I spied some kale on your seedling shelves, so I'm hoping we might get a video on making beds with protective covers for brassicas - I tried growing some in the autumn but it all ended up feeding the local pigeons. I'm glad it wasn't wasted but I want to keep it for me this season!

You’re right, paint the lengths of timber before cutting/assembly then after assembly paint the cut edges also sty your saw up on the lawn and you won’t have to sweep the paving afterwards … … and it’s way quicker to use annular ring nails and plenty strong enough!

Great video, that paint you use is the best on the market, I use it all the time they also have a great selection of colours too that’s if you’re adventurous, also mate from your last video your lawn is looking a lot more greener have you give it a bit of fertiliser or is it just natural. Either way it’s looking good for this time of year 👍👍👍👍

Yes you should have painted the wood first, and use a nail gun to hold the wood together, much cheaper than screws and quicker to put together.

You will find that you will need to feed the planters regularly throughout the summer. I found that my planted Honeysuckle didnt flower at all and I put it down to the exhausting of nutrients in the compost I used in the planter, that and the planter might be too small now for the root ball as it grows to take up the space really quickly..Any ideas on why it didnt flower?

Have you got a video on how you made your planters? They are fab 😄

Think it have shimmed the trellis rather than cut the planter (or put the trellis on the inside?)

painting trellis after assembly, oh so been there and learned that lesson ! Would have been appreciated if you'd listed the source of the timber - I have struggled to find timber that makes it economic to build own trellis work compared to buying a premade trellis and modifying that instead of scratch building
