Thanks for your informative video 😊 I've been in the hobby for a year now and have the 600 and do use it out of the box. I've been out on a club dig today in Surrey for six hours and in general I dig everything but all I've got is crud so I've started ignoring what I consider to be rubbishy signals. On recent digs in both Kent and Shropshire I've dug everything and also ended up with crud. I'm starting to think that detecting is a good walk spoilt. Best wishes to you 😊

You're brave eating the nettle seeds, I'd end up getting stung!

Fear mongering, So many folks have been using tires for years and years, rubber does not rot out, or leach Into the ground. Now the pressure treated lumber, or telephone poles, that's a different story.

Good to see blueberry starting to produce.

I own an alotment too and i am very happy to have it. It s my own little Spot of nature, 600qm with flowers, fruit trees and vegetables. We habe a Hut and sheds and beds. We even sleep on the alotment like weekend holidays❤️

Hey new to your channel we have just took over an allotment over 3 weeks ago it was a blank canvas apart from the jungle of weeds but were making good progress looking forward to learn some tips :) we have also started vlogging it on our channel so we can look back next year to see how far we have come

lol you say ashes I think oooo potash

The main culprit mould is aspergillis, the condition from inhalation called aspergillosis. Basically severe asmatic symptoms can occur. Like most moulds it has peaks at certain times a year. My dad was hospitalised once after shovelling multiple bags of chips on our allotment. Got told by a neighbouring plot holder it was no problem. He was a doctor. The next time he was wearing a mask. Also had to discourage young kids from playing on a pile Only to be told off by the ill informed parents Great to get a reminder

Great Health and Safety tip , Thank You for sharing. Frequently theres dust and spores in our allotment woodchip pile and I never thought of the dangers . Will be careful after watching your post 👍🏻😀

Oh, man! Thanks for letting us know, though.

You can bowl a better leggy than me I only can bowl googly sometimes legggy but dodgy action

I have just signed for a plot, very small only 62.5Sqm, but it is just fluffy grass. No weeds but not sure how to get rid of the grass cover.

The 'bollock' dagger is a real thing, not a porno/amusing fake. Watch Tod's workshop on the tube!

How odd , it looks smart to me , lovely plot with a nice variety growing , might try the intercropping on my plot , thank you posting

I've got an English Heritage pass as well!

Cannot in good conscience vote for Sunak or Starmer.

Hi Ross! So happy to see your videos. It has been a year since I last saw any you tube videos. Glad to have a computer again. Happy family having g a bang up fun time. Are you still flying?.

MASON IS VICTORIOUS

Make your vote, but tell your Labour MP that you leant your vote to them and that you want PR. PR makes voting positively for something a genuine choice, rather than having to vote against the party you dislike, and enough pressure can get it in the next Labour manifesto. Plus PR will end the threat of a unified Tory government.

How many feets will find the mechine

I just got a Garrett Ace 300 but what makes the I different?

Could you please mention where you went as l would like to go there and how much it cost. Thankyou.

A sad indictment of our neo-liberal society, instead of uniting together, the powers that be have convinced jo public that people with disabilities are their enemy, and people with so called hidden disabilities, who are equally in need of disabled parking, are looked down upon as the worst of us 🤬 we've got 100's of years being pushed out to the extremes of society to fight back against, but united, we can move mountains! 🤗

Why do you not show what it was?

Just getting my first M.D, Looking for your kind of review to help with the decision. Thanks for being so informative and for "keeping it simple". I will get a 600 I believe, it seems the right tool for my needs. I'm living smack in the middle of an early settlement gone the way of histories chaos so I'm hopeful of some good interesting finds. Thank you.

Bought 2 of these lasted about a month, the spring are to weak.

I was about to plant flowers in them however I’m now worried I’ll poison the bees and butterflies. If it contaminates the flowers and they collect the pollen surely the pollen will be poisoned?

New fear unlocked

I'd love to know why these people think people on pip think we live a lavish life, I've gone from a £1600 a month job to just over £400 , it just about covers food for a month.

Research and you will note that toxins and such will not make it to the fruits. The black you see is the nitrogen, phosphorus and such as these are attracted to carbon (what tires are made of) rust of which phosphorus is attracted.

I’ve found Trust pilot can be quite a good way to get noticed. If the product is dangerous it should be recalled.

Homebase isn't getting in touch mate. I suggest you contact them

Wtf happened to quality control. You could maybe sue them for that

Ah the prince of Wales bridge, i know it well, i thought i recognised the bit of motorway before it!

Might want to double check and make sure it wasn’t the fashion police

I would NOT grade this as either ok or anything above an F-. They've rushed the product to market in order to meet government guidelines on the phasing out of peat in compost mixes. What it really needs is regular turning every other day, covering up in-between turns to keep out excess water, for about another 6-8 weeks. Only then, would it qualify as compost and not the mulch it actually is. How they can get away with calling it 'All Purpose' is beyond me.

Aldi supermarket didn't have their peat free compost in yet as it was too early in the year so I ordered Miracle Gro Peat Free compost instead. I was shocked to find that upon opening the bags, it was only truly fit for mulch as it hadn't been composted for long enough, was very coarse and claggy to boot. Still, as it was early January 2024, I thought to brave it anyway and potted on 3 very nice young shrubs I bought via mail order. 6 months on and after following every cultivation instruction the growers recommended, all three shrubs had failed to thrive. Upon upending them out of the pots I discovered that there'd been no new root development at all & they'd all died. Similarly, after sowing delphinium, rudbeckia, sweet peas, Echinacea & lupin seeds on 29/02/24 in propagators in the greenhouse and wondering why there'd been little to no germination whatsoever, after 6wks I resowed. 1/06/24 I finally decided it was time to pot on the resulting seedlings despite poor growth. I was shocked to discover that there was a 99•5% failure of development beyond that of initial germination. I've used peat free compost for around thirty years as I find it much better than peat based ones as it's slower to dry out & easier to re-wet as well as being more environmentally friendly. I'm one of those sickening people who can tackle the nearly dead stuff in the reduced section or womble the fly tipped stuff people have thrown out & is also nearly dead, bring it home and reinvigorate them back to magnificence, something that makes my mum dead jealous as she only has to look in a plant's direction for it to turn it's metaphorical toes up & die! I'm so well known for this at my local B&Q that before the garden centre staff even say hello, they tell me the status of what is or isn't in the reduced section the moment they see me walk in the door. A mate described me to someone yesterday as being someone who brings home weeds & transforms them back to health. In other words, I'm a very good amateur triffidologist. I have NEVER had such terrible results with commercial peat free compost, or any compost for that matter, as I've had with this stuff and would NEVER EVER buy it again. In desperation I've bought some Aldi peat free compost, mixed it & perlite, vermiculite, fish, blood & bone with the Miracle Gro stuff & painstakingly potted on my seedlings to see if this makes any difference; fingers crossed it will.

All my raised beds are made of tires. I'm stopping and changing them now. You saved my life. Thankyou!

All these compost companies are finding it harder to sorce materials for the compost now they can't use peat. Noticed the deterioration in these products as soon as all this peat free malarkey started

is the rooster caused you problem i.e., his noise.? Thank you in advance

Great advice!

I can’t get on with this peat free compost. It dries out so quickly. Sometimes having to water pots twice a day as the ‘compost’ does not retain the water and runs straight out the bottom. Even putting a saucer underneath the pot does nothing as the compost does not soak it up where peat compost would. How this is more environmentally friendly to use peat free compost, I do not know as I am having to use more water. Water, which is a scarce commodity.

Protesting and boycotting these companies works so come on people! I didn't like the guy at first but the man is right 100%

Nice!

Anymore allotment videos coming up?

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

That's lovely, I spent half my holidays there as a child!

If you don't bring a wheelchair out, you're not disabled in some people's eyes mate!

Hi Thank you for your miracle Gro review. I used to like it and had great results with it, from seed sowing to filling baskets and tubs. However over the past 2 to 3 years I have found the quality has dropped, but the price hasn't! I bought 2 bags last week and found it worse than ever. full of glass, hard plastic, polythene, stones and large bits of wood. I really expect better from Miracle gro. I have used up my homemade compost which I have to say was really good. It's amazing what you can produce from kitchen and garden waste. Happy gardening.
