Let's tidy up our garlic beds. Welcome
0:02
to Gardening with Ben. And today we're
0:03
going to be tidying up our garlic beds
0:06
as it's getting pretty warmer and yeah,
0:08
the soil's a bit compact. So, when it
0:10
does rain, it's hard for it to soak into
0:12
the ground. And the weeds are starting
0:14
to grow now, now that it's getting
0:16
warmer. And yeah, it's going to be a
0:18
gorgeous couple of days down here. So,
0:20
we want to start breaking up the soil so
0:21
that we can start watering them better
0:24
and keeping on top of it and hopefully
0:26
grow some great garlic because the roots
0:28
are pretty shallow on it. So, they don't
0:30
like to compete against the weeds. So,
0:31
we need to keep them weed free and
0:33
possibly we might give them some food as
0:36
well to give them that extra boost now
0:38
that the winter's over and done with.
0:41
So, let's have a look at what they look
0:42
like and let's get cracking. So, this is
0:45
my garlic bed and as you can see, like I
0:47
said, the soil's quite compact from
0:49
where it's settled down and we've got
0:51
another garlic bed there. So yeah, we
0:53
need to dig them over, get them all
0:54
weeded, and get them watered and fed
0:58
because it is drying out down here at
0:59
the plot now. It's getting gorgeous down
1:01
here. Look at all the absolute beautiful
1:04
tulips and daffodils. Absolutely
1:05
gorgeous down here. So yeah, let's get
1:08
them cleared and let's get them tided.
1:10
So they're all now weed free and the
1:13
soil is all loose around them so that
1:15
the rain water can get in pretty good
1:17
and obviously when we water them as
1:18
well. We've also fed them with some
1:23
wland so that they can get some food
1:25
over the next six months. Obviously,
1:27
they'll be ready to harvest around July
1:29
time. So, we'll hopefully add some food
1:32
to them and hopefully get bigger and
1:34
better plants down here and they're in a
1:36
nice sunny spot as well, which is ideal
1:41
So, thanks for watching today's video
1:43
and hopefully we get some great harvests
1:45
down here from the garlic. So, make sure
1:47
you drop us a follow to stay up to date
1:48
with all our videos. Until next time
1:50
everyone, remember, keep smiling, keep
1:52
shining, and keep gardening with Ben.
