QUESTION: Why the need for the p;astic barrier if your raised beds are on the earth and not on a patio?

[rickvanman]

@rcote22401 It's not crutial to include a barrier - just an option. I think at the time of making this video I had read that it was a good idea, but the latest SFG book suggests a botomless box on the ground is fine.

Wow, Rick... you really DO have a small area, there, don't ya?? I never realized it was such a small area. The way you've maximized all of your space, it's hard to tell it in your other videos! Looks huge in the other videos! =)

Great job, mate!

I can just hear the neighbours! "What's he up to now Beryl?"

"Oh let him be- he's a nut job- now here's a beer!"

Best of luck with your ideas I'm off to have some plum wine! Ha ha!

[rickvanman]

LOL - Actually my neighbours on one side are genuinely not impressed! Oh well, we all have different prioroties I suppose. Live & let Live.

Enjoy the wine :o)

[niffer58]

sounds great. i want to try it. i don't have much to grow in.

[Zeamus634]

I think we have the next Allan Titchmark here. lol

How much did the wireless mic cost, are you going to get a homing camera mount next that follows you around the garden?

[rickvanman]

LOL! My Hero!

Wireless was a cheap mic plugged into the Zoom H2 (now i've learned how to switch on the external mic power).

Homing camera mount - would love one! Probably cost the earth though.

[baddogonline]

You're getting really good at this! :)

[rickvanman]

thanks :o)

[dobe762]

[athomas1124]

this is so very interesting

[MicheleMidnight]

you will be able to feed the neighborhood with all the growing you are planning.

Rick, did you control your camera with a remote? You really have this square foot gardening thing down to a science. I just finished reading the book, "Square Foot Gardening" By Mel Barthalomew. You are doing everything exactly the way he says to do it.

It would be nice if you could get your neighbors interested in Square Foot Gardening. Mel Barthalomew was able to motivate the people in his area to start Square Foot Gardens, because they are maintenance free.

[CathyDirector]

Very Nice and interesting. Good Luck with your food and website! Wow how high is your tripod on the end of your video? How you didi it?

[rickvanman]

Thanks - its on the shed roof on a tripod:o)

[FenderGibsonWashburn]

Nice Rick, interesting camera angles.

[rickvanman]

Cheers Paul - one of the disadvantages to a small garden - even with the wide angle, you cant push the camera far enough away!

[TheMusicMark]

Interesting video Rick Titchmarsh!! lol

[rickvanman]

LOL - all I need is that band music that they play and I'm all set!

An assistant like Charlie Dimmock would be most welcome! :o)

[1776Reborn]

Wow, that's a small space. I have 2 acres and still think it's not enough. Anything helps for what is coming. Get ready guys!

[rickvanman]

With the right approach, and careful planning, 2 acres could produce a LOT of food.
