Hey everyone! I'm Niall, an Irish gardener, and welcome to my channel all about gardening. Inspirational vegetable and flower growing, great how-to's, and vlogs. I have my own corner of the countryside just north of Dublin, Ireland.
Join me as I garden and vlog my way through the seasons in my Irish garden - from big transformational projects to small jobs, how-to's and inspiration for things you can do in your own garden.
Or just chill out and enjoy watching my garden and me doing the hard work to keep it looking nice for you! (It's not all hard work!)

Thank you so much for sharing this build,,,I am excited to build one for my garden. I can’t wait to see how this will speed up the process ❣️❣️💕👍🏽
I was hoping for alternatives intead of talk talk talk. Some folks use Ruschia Nana but it dies if temperature goes under minus 6c.
Great video Niall! :) Guilds of well chosen species add a lot of function and beauty at the same time. We use mint and daffodils here to deter nibbling by the many voles we have here.
Thanks very much for the lovely comment - I really appreciate it. I’d been reading about the use of daffodils actually, so great to hear that you have success with it.
@@niallgardens They used to be planted a lot in orchards here in SW England - many still have them, though they're usually spread out these days rather than just around the trees. Of course they look nice too! :)
Never landscape fabric. Nope. 3 in compacted limestone base (plate compactor can be rented or buy a cheap one from Harbor Freight for those in the US) and then top your gravel of choice. And then the religious use of Preen or another pre emergent. I hate hate hate landscape fabric.
Thank you so much this video has solved our problem best wishes Venetia
Why not just use stone blocks?
Hozelock confusion. ... produce numerous different garden timers nearly every year and don't put instructions in the box.!
Niall, thank you for demonstrating your bulb lasagna! My bulbs will be in a really harsh winter. What kind of pot material do you suggest?
Honestly, at first, I was very anxious for you. But then I thought, what an exciting opportunity! If you take your time and dont get frustrated, it can be a fun and rewarding project! And you luckily still have the guild garden, I read below, which is good because you just bought those trees. You've got this!
Thank you so much. That has been really useful, I'm away to dispose of my blight leaves and hopefully harvest some potatoes!🤞 I don't feel half as panicked as I was a moment ago when I decided that Blight was what was wrong with my potato leaves!! 🙏 Such a helpful video. ☺
I have been growing 3 sisters with great success for 8 years Sorry, but stop posting The biggest advantage is pest control Pests li,e rabbits and raccoons do not li,e walking on the prickly squash leaves and leave the corn alone Like I said go back to school and atop postibg this bs
Love the way you explain...... love you bro 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks so much, that's really really nice of you!
3:33 what time of year?
Mid-to-late summer the plants will start producing runners that you can use
I just came indoors from my very wet Welsh garden (Summer 2024 has been a wash out). The weeds love this weather, I’ve done a load of weeding but I’m thinking I need to properly suppress them this winter. The correx tip is great - I’ll be doing that this winter!!
Yeah I've found that Correx really does work well!
I have planted two peach trees, two plum trees, two pear trees. Next step is watching your videos on creating a fruit tree guild. I appreciate the fact that you give the names of the six types of plants needed for a successful guild. Also, within the types of plants needed examples of the specific plants. I don't think I will do the raised variety but till up the sod in my yard. I have really rich black dirt so feel comfortable I will be ok doing it this way. Will get it tilled this summer/fall so it will be ready for early Spring. Thank you so much for all this information. Good luck with your guild and can't wait to see the growth of your guilds.
I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the video and what you're doing sounds superb!
I LOVE Bellis!!! However, my seeds are still very slow to germinate.
Hopefully they germinate for you and you get loads of lovely flowers!
Hi! Can you plant the runners direct in a bed, or do you recommend planting them in small pots first?
You can indeed - either straight onto the ground or into a pot will work equally well
@@niallgardens thank you!!!!
Well done, I intend to make a solar composter some time. Have some ideas.
Sounds great!
Thanks for the advice Niall's. Gardening is just starting to pay off here in New England. Potatoes, Onions, Bush Beans, Tomatoes, Corn and Squash, Zucchini and Eggplant. Don't let me forget the Peppers, watermelon and Sunflowers. Just planted some cucumber's as the first batch were struggling. These popped up in less then 5 days which is exciting. Put in a succession crop of Zucchini today. Only 95 days left in my growing season.
Superb! You're doing really well and have so much growing!!!
I have those carrots, but they grow in the wild. I kept looking at them and thinking the leaves looked like carrots. I am going to check them out. 😊
They look so cool don't they? Really beautiful
Very informative. About six weeks ago I planted pear, plum, peach trees in my yard. I am already visioning in my mind how I could complete what you have done with your garden/guild. My growing zone is 5B about the same as Ireland/Scotland (I think :). Keep this great info coming.
So happy I found your channel, I live in Scotland and understand your weather woos. 😅 Do you have a video helping with seed germination in July for perennials? Thank you x
Its annoying, its a fungi thing to and almost impossible to do anything about
Extra bonus for the Sweet Williams: the slugs (at least the slugs in my garden) don't like them!!
Oh! Very good point!
I love Sweet Williams. Good to know slugs don't like them. The caffeine in your coffee will kill slugs and snails.
One of the most lovely guilds I've ever seen! Very inspiring.
Wow, thank you!
