Plotting, Potting and Ponding with Matt

I took on the plot in September 2023.  It had been neglected, but only for a year or so.  So while it looked like a huge job to clear it, actually most of the overgrowth was annual weed, albeit with a lot of bramble around the perimeter and it didn’t take too long at all.

The site has poor drainage and was waterlogged all winter.  I have therefore made no-dig raised beds to keep the plants above the water table which seems to be working so far.

I have a passion for pond life (…weird) and so one of the first things I did was dig a wildlife pond on the plot with the intention of letting it naturalise and become as natural a habitat as possible.  This is doing well and I will be featuring the pond and its inhabitants a lot on the channel.

I am by no means an expert in vegetable growing although I have always been a gardener and so my videos will be me muddling through rather than instructional.
