No bells, farts or whistles, just all the info laid out in a way it's easy to grasp. If only all CZcams videos were like this...👍
Thanks Anthony, your comment is much appreciated.
Personally I like bells and whistles 😂
Oh, there will be farts, don't you worry.
@@matt9906 🤣😂😂
I agree with you whole heartedly, there is not enough like this on u tube. Most of them , like one I could name in particular, are all self, self self, and very little for the learners.😩
I appreciate this video for two reasons. First, you get right into the growing of the crop and don't sit around for 2-3 minutes, mainly discussing how amazing you are (like many other channels do). Second, you actually show every step in the process and don't just talk about it.
Hi Scott. Thank you for your appreciation. So glad you enjoyed the video.
agree; I watched some other idiots and they never actually showed how to plant them;
I appreciate you showing the starting from seed all the way through harvesting. I am glad to know they grow just fine under that netting and get enough sunlight to grow and produce. Cabbage moths here are terrible!
Hi Mandy. I am so glad to have been of help. Keep safe.
Thank you for your explaining how to plant from seeding step by step. I appreciate your information.

thank you for your appreciation.
Great video, really easy to follow....I'm growing sprouts and so far it's all going to plan.
Thats great to hear! Thanks for your appreciation.
Hello, years ago I planted brussel sprouts in place in virgin soil with no preparation. This was land that had lain fallow for 20 years and more. The plants grew vigorously to maturity and appeared quite robust.
I have always enjoyed brussel sprouts boiled/steamed then buttered and salted. What a meal! In later years I dared to chop and boil the leaves like cabbage or chard. Great fiber, great flavor, especially if boiled with a piece of fatty meat.
Yes my wife always adds little chopped up bacon cubes. Wonderful!
Try them roasted drizzled with olive oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar...and of course bacon. I cut then in half first.
You are a good teacher.I have really enjoyed and understood each step.keep it up.
Thank you for your very kind comments! 😃
Looks amazing. I have 8 plants that are currently seedlings. Looking forward to it
Good luck with your growing and keep safe!
Perfect learning video, thanks a heap!

Hello. Thank you so much for your clip. I never eat this plant but now I 'd like to grow them.😉😉
Thank you for your appreciation.Good luck with your growing!
This was so helpful. I had not considered using netting to deter white butterflies and caterpillars. Thank you.
Hi Celeste. I'm so glad it was helpful. Keep safe.
Great informative video
Thanks Steve. Glad it was helpful! Keep safe.
I have all but given up trying to grow Brussel sprouts because mine usually are full of pest. I am going to try your method, thanks for uploading
Hi Walter. I have never had trouble with my method. It is important to keep the netting sealed and in place. My main pests are Pigeons, Butterflies/Catterpillars and Whitefly. Good luck and keep safe.
I know this video is quite old now, but so useful. First time sprout grower here and I have a few little seedlings growing. Didn't realise they would grow so big, so will be sure to space them out properly.
Hi Deborah glad to have been able to help. Keep safe.
Wow excellent video. A new subscriber
Thanks for subbing! Much appreciated. Keep safe.
Tq for the detailed information.
Hi Edna. You are welcome 😊
This was so helpful.
Hi Stephanie. I'm so glad it helped. Keep safe.
Just did mine yesterday :)
Hi James. Sprouts fro Christmas then! Keep safe.
Thank you 👍
You are very welcome! Keep safe.
wow! they got so big!
Yes. When you plant them they look as if they have too much space but they grow wide and tall.
Nice one, I like it.👍
Thanks Michael. 👍 Keep safe.
Thank you so much for this video. I got seeds. I'll try and let you know.
Hi Jithmi. Thank you for your appreciation. Good luck with your growing. Let us know how it goes.

Follow my method and you can get the same result. Keep safe.
In the US in Florida…sub tropical climate. Enjoyed just the facts. Newbie gardener
Hi Patricia. Thank you for your appreciation. Greetings from England and keep safe.
Super salute
Thanks Dinesh. Keep safe.
My favourite veggie
cheers
You are welcome.Keep safe.
I love this informative and clear video. I'm hoping to grow lots of veg in pots next year - it has to be pots because the ground is concreted over. Is it possible to grow sprouts in large pots or are they only for planting in the ground? Thanks so much.
I have never done it but I believe they can be grown in 12 inch pots (one plant per pot). Good luck and let us know how it goes. Keep safe.
Very informative, if not a bit monotone. Thanks
Hi Sonaldo. Thank you for your appreciation! I dont think I will make it in Holywood! Keep safe.
Such a great video, thank you! Where did you get your netting from and what size is it?
Hi Emily. Thank you for your appreciation. A friend got the netting for me but do a Google search on 'Debris Netting' - it is used in the building trade. Keep safe.
Thank you...... a no waffle video and you have shown me exactly what I wanted to know which is.... when to start removing the leaves....many thanks and God bless.

I am so glad the video was able to help you Gilly. Keep safe.
The sprouts are huge and amazing! What is the fertilizer schedule like and what do you use? Thank you in advance.
Hi Azlina. I didnt use any fertilier. However you could use a nitrogen rich fertilizer. Use it sparingly or else you will get a mass of leaves but fewer and smaller sprouts.
Hello , thanks for very informative video.. Can I cut off the leave occasionally for cooking like cabbage during say August/Sept.
Hi Clem. Yes, you can.
Very informative, clear,,,,and straight to the point. For those who want to grow their own Brussel sprouts for the first time should watch this. My Brussel sprouts are around 120days, but the sprouts haven't appeared yet. Hope they grow well in the tropical area. I'm in Indonesia, about 24-33° C in the afternoon. Do you have any idea to prevent the sprouts from prematurely open? Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you for your appreciation. Unfortunately the sprouts open up when they experience warm weather and long days - they are best grown in the coolness of Autumn like we get here in the uk. Try to keep them cool and out of the sun.
Aku juga pengen coba nanam nih. Aku di Samarinda, panase pol. mungkin ini cocok di daerah tinggi ya.
You may try shade cloth in the hot afternoon.
Your plants are beautiful. What kind of compost are you using?
Hi Beckey. So nice of you. I use a brand called Humax.
Very nice video, what impressed me the most was your soil, it seems to be so light and airy, how do you make it like that..🤔😊
Hi Michael. The soil is naturally very light. I have a compost bin and use the produce from that to dig in a lot of organic matter each year. Keep safe.
@@LearnHow2 Thank you for that info’. How do you make your compost, only I have been trying to make compost for some time , like 12 months but it seems to be taking an age.?🤔Mick.
Hi there, can you please share with us the name/link of the green netting and compost that you used. Did your compost also contain vermiculite to increase the drainage & aeration? Thank you.
I always use a compost called 'Humax'. I have never had a problem with it for seeds (both flowers and vegetables), hanging baskets and tubs. Sorry but I do not know the name of the netting - a fellow gardener gave me an offcut from a large roll he had purchased. It looks the samea as this -

First time for me seeing how Brussels sprouts grow.They take up quite a bit of space.
Hi Patts. Yes, allow 18 inches between plants.
LearnHow2 thank you for the tip.Maybe while the sun is out I’ll try planting one.
Quite informative. May I know how many days did it take from seed to harvest?
Planted seeds in April, began harvesting October.
good jog bruhv
Thanks! Keep safe.
I have 3 plants left in my outside bed . The are a nice size and look good but they are really hard like rock hard . The rest of my crop harvested and eat and they were delicious . Is it normal for them to harden later in the autumn . Thanks very much for the help on your video .
Hi Sean. I have never had this happen.
Thank you! Yes very informative!!!
You have some great eating right there..
Question? Did you have to spray anything on them during the growing process to protect from other critters in the soil?? Or, does the net do the job well??
Hi Tom. I did not use any spray. The net was adequate - as long as it is fine enough.
@@LearnHow2
Gotcha!! Thank you ✌️😎
As always a beautifully presented video question Why have a got a packet of 500 seeds 😮
That is how they come - I couldn't find any less. Keep safe.
I started mine indoors and they are growing quicker than expected. How long did you wait until transplanting outside?
As soon as the risk of frosts have past then plant out. In the UK this is the end of May.
In your opinion which would be easier to grow brussel sprouts or cauliflower I’m determined to grow some vegetables this year.
I have always found Brussel Sprouts best.
I'm growing brussel sprouts for the first time in my first veggie graden and I have so many questions! I have to separate them from from the other things I've planted because they aren't good companions. Can I plant them in the same garden separated by nasturtiums and marigolds? It gets really hot here in northern Virginia, USA, will they survive the summer? Or am I better off just planting them in pots?
Hi Jessica. If you are using a pot then it must be at least 12 inch diameter and 12 inch deep. The ideal maximum average temperature is 21 deg C. I would plant them in a shaded area if your climate is too hot. Keep safe.
Does f1hydbrids help?
My first garden this year. Just found your channel. If anyone can help. I had something on the tops of my brussel sprout plants that resemble kitty litter. What is this? I didnt know to net them.
Hi Penny. Not sure - do you have a photo?
Hi, how often do you ewater the seedlings from the start whilst in their little pots!
Hi Cassy. Check them every day and if the soil looks or feels dry then water them. Keep safe.
I suppose it is not possible to grow them in pots - I have large sunny balcony on which I grew tomatoes successfully this summer but I guess sprouts are much larger.
Hi Peter. It may be possible but difficult. The plant grows about 4 feet tall and the roots are more than 1 foot diameter.
hello from france !!! beautifulls ; now with chichen juice or pig juice !!! thanks
Bonjour! Greetings from the UK.
What is that powder you put in the hole before planting?
Hi Doug. Its Garden Lime. Club root doesnt like it and Brassicas do!
So these grow well in the heat over the summer?
Hi Rachel. Yes they will. My crop this year are growing really well and we've had a lot of days recently where the temperature is above 30 degC. Mine are under a net as shown in the video which does filter the sunlight a little.
I put the seeds in my planters and they germinated very quickly, but that's all they did. They're about one inch tall and with the seed petals. They seem stuck and some are dying. Could it be a bad batch of seeds? How old were your seedlings when you transplanted them?
Have they got enough heat and light? Keep safe.
HOW long are they left in ground before picking???
Hi Diane. I plant out in April and begin harvesting round about end of October. Keep safe.
After harvesting...what you do with the plants?
I dig them up and either burn them or dispose of them. Dont put them on the compost heap as any fungal infection (club root) will be passed on to next years crop. Keep safe.
@@LearnHow2 noted with thanks
Can the leaves be eaten?
Yes. I have not eaten them but I believe they are similar to cabbage. Keep safe.
How long from seed to harvest and when did planting started
Hi Nguon Chan. I started the seeds in April and ate the first Sprouts in November. Keep safe.
I came for the club root topic but there hardly was any... :/ Is the lime meant for bacteria also meant for club root fungi?
There are 3 parts to the club root issue. 1) Start the plants in pots in compost so they develop a healthy set of roots before planting in infected soil 2) The lime inhibits the club root fungi 3) The lime aids the Brassica growth
@@LearnHow2 Thank you for taking your time to answer!!
@@0626love You are most welcome. Good luck with your growing!
Gosh I suddenly feel growing spouts achievable and not daunting at all - when to plant?
Here in the UK I plant the seeds in early Spring (beginning of April) and begin harvesting some time in November. This years crop is looking very good - cant wait for first taste. Keep safe.
Clear as Mud
Thanks for your feedback. Can you tell me the problem so I can avoid in future videos?
so your eating white flys i dont get it
I had to stake mine this year, as they were all bending over. I also think I may have removed the leaves too early, as the sprouts are small and seem to have stopped now with no signs they will get any bigger. I used lime over the surface of the plot, but will try it in the planting hole next year, thanks.
Hi Hossein. Good luck with your growing.Keep safe.
Your sprouts are invested with aphids... You don't seem to mind?
How do you get rid of them.....asking for future references....
@@TheBraveIntrovert Spray them off with a water sprayer.

?
you forgot the last step. ... Eat them and fart
Last step is - Eat, Fart .......blame the dog 😂. Keep safe.
