I can’t wait for the diaries to return! Also, we seem to share some of the same feelings towards Substack/Youtube, it’s just so nice to have a platform to experiment on and dive deep in 🌿 Will be here August 31th!

Me neither! I have missed it so much to be honest, and it was a tough call to stop it, but then earlier this week I suddenly realised that I now have found the home for it! See you then :)

Grateful you can share and create and not have to please an algorithm. There is a lot of good gardening content out there, but you stand out as a gifted communicator and appear to have a work ethic of thoroughness and learning. It is a gift to those of us trying to grow our skills!

Can’t wait. I’ll be there on the 31st, great idea with sow.today 😃 I have given me so much inspiration to try no dig and the use of mulch that I’m going to do from now. I suffer tremendously with bindweed and just have one massive veg patch and have always thought digging was best. So going to try making raised beds out of pallets. But any tips on tackling bindweed I’m open to hearing 😁

Ahh thank you Sandra! I am glad you like it! Ooh soundds good! Unfortunately I don't have much bindweed experience (but fortunately for me) but it is really a case of consistency of removal over many months to really bring it under control

This is all very exciting! I’ve followed your work a long time on YT. So pleased you’re over here now. :) Also I’ll give you a shoutout in this month’s edition of the Substack Nature News — our directory has a section for Natural Farming & Gardening, too, so I’ll list your new publication there, if that’s all right?

Welcome to substack

I loved watching your online videos! They were peaceful and calming, and I so enjoyed seeing you and your land thrive, and your guests also.

Very happy to see you here. It appears to still be a healthy platform for creators.
