Benjamin from the Fox Repellent Expert website shares tips, advice and information on urban foxes and how to humanely deter them, so you can protect your garden from their damage and destruction. Discover how foxes view your garden and understand what deterrent and repellent tools you can use to minimise their pooing, digging, chewing and all the other common fox problems. Benjamin has been running Fox Repellent Expert since 2010, when he first experienced the frustrations of urban foxes after moving to Croydon in South London, and discovered there was a lack of quality fox deterrent information online. The site has continually evolved and is on it's way to becoming the Number 1 resource for information on humane fox deterrence in the UK. If you are from Europe, North America or anywhere else in the world with a large fox population, you are also very welcome and will find much of the content useful. It's important to remember that foxes are not the enemy, nor do they do anything to deliberately spite you. They thrive in our towns and cities because our lifestyles provide them with the means to do so. That being said, they are often a nuisance and this podcast will equip you with the knowledge to reduce their negative impact, enabling you to live harmoniously with these fascinating creatures, while also taking back control of your garden. Welcome, enjoy and please subscribe!

Hello, dear listeners! I'm thrilled to share with you the joy of vegetable gardening. Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or a budding gardener, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of growing your own fresh, healthy produce. In this comprehensive guide, I'll walk you through the essential steps to starting your very own vegetable garden, from choosing the perfect location to harvesting your delicious bounty.
First and foremost, let's talk about selecting the ideal spot for your garden. When it comes to vegetables, sunlight is key. Look for a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. This will ensure that your plants have the energy they need to thrive and produce an abundant harvest. If you're working with limited space, don't worry! Container gardening and raised beds are excellent options for smaller yards or even patio gardens. When choosing containers, make sure they have adequate drainage holes and are large enough to accommodate your plants' root systems. Raised beds are another fantastic option, as they allow you to control the soil quality and make gardening more accessible for those with limited mobility.
Now, let's dive into the soil. The foundation of any successful garden is rich, well-draining soil. To get started, test your soil to determine its pH and nutrient levels. You can easily find soil testing kits at your local garden center or through your local cooperative extension office. Once you have a better understanding of your soil's composition, you can amend it with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and structure. The goal is to create a loamy texture that retains moisture but allows excess water to drain away from the roots. If your soil is heavy clay or very sandy, consider adding organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leaf mold, or peat moss to improve its structure and nutrient-holding capacity.
When it comes to planning your garden, I always recommend starting small, especially if you're new to gardening. Choose vegetables that are easy to grow and well-suited to your climate. Some of my personal favorites include juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, crunchy carrots, and tender green beans. These classics are not only delicious but also relatively low-maintenance, making them perfect for beginners. Other easy-to-grow options include radishes, zucchini, peas, and herbs like basil, parsley, and cilantro. As you gain more experience, you can expand your garden to include a wider variety of vegetables and even experiment with heirloom or exotic varieties.
To keep your garden organized and on track, create a planting calendar. This will help you keep track of when to sow seeds directly in the garden and when to start seeds indoors for later transplanting. Be sure to note the expected harvest dates for each crop so you can plan your meals accordingly. When starting seeds indoors, use a high-quality seed starting mix and provide plenty of light to prevent your seedlings from becoming leggy. Once your seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into your garden.
Once your soil is prepped and your plants are in the ground, it's time to focus on care and maintenance. Proper watering is essential for the health and productivity of your vegetable garden. Aim for consistent moisture, and avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings. One of my favorite tips is to use mulch around your plants. Not only does mulch help retain moisture, but it also suppresses weeds and keeps the soil temperature regulated. Organic mulches like straw, shredded leaves, or grass clippings can also break down over time, adding valuable nutrients to your soil.
As your plants grow, be sure to monitor them for any signs of pests or diseases. Catching these issues early is key to preventing them from spreading throughout your garden. Whenever possible, opt for organic methods of pest and disease management, such as handpicking insects, using row covers, or applying natural remedies like neem oil or insecticidal soap. Companion planting can also be an effective way to deter pests and attract beneficial insects to your garden. For example, planting marigolds around your vegetables can help repel nematodes and other pests, while attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
The most exciting part of vegetable gardening is, of course, the harvest! Keep a close eye on your plants and pick vegetables at their peak for the best flavor and nutritional value. Regular harvesting not only ensures that you're enjoying the freshest produce possible but also encourages your plants to continue producing. Don't be afraid to harvest frequently, as this can actually stimulate your plants to produce more. When harvesting, use clean, sharp tools to avoid damaging your plants, and handle your produce gently to minimize bruising.
One of the greatest joys of growing your own vegetables is the ability to enjoy them fresh from the garden. There's nothing quite like the flavor of a sun-ripened tomato or the crisp crunch of a freshly picked carrot. Celebrate your harvest by incorporating your homegrown produce into your favorite recipes, from vibrant salads to hearty soups and stews. Get creative in the kitchen and experiment with new flavor combinations and cooking techniques to make the most of your garden-fresh ingredients.
If you find yourself with an abundance of vegetables, don't let them go to waste! Preserving your harvest is a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of your garden year-round. Canning, freezing, and drying are all excellent methods for extending the shelf life of your produce. Imagine savoring the taste of summer-sweet tomatoes in the middle of winter or adding your own dried herbs to a cozy winter dish. Preserving your harvest not only reduces food waste but also allows you to enjoy the fruits of your labor long after the growing season has ended.
As you embark on your vegetable gardening journey, remember that patience is key. Not every plant will thrive, and that's okay! Gardening is a learning process, and each season brings new opportunities to experiment, learn, and grow. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and don't be discouraged by the occasional setback. Keep a gardening journal to track your progress, make notes about what worked well and what didn't, and plan for future improvements.
In addition to the practical benefits of growing your own food, vegetable gardening also offers a host of mental and emotional benefits. Tending to your garden can be a meditative and relaxing experience, providing a much-needed break from the stresses of daily life. As you nurture your plants and watch them grow, you'll find yourself connecting with nature in a deeper, more meaningful way. Gardening can also be a great form of gentle exercise, promoting physical health and well-being.
Gardening is also a wonderful way to bring family and friends together. Encourage your loved ones to get involved in the process, from planting seeds to harvesting the bounty. Children, in particular, can benefit greatly from the hands-on experience of growing their own food. Not only does it teach them valuable life skills, but it also fosters a greater appreciation for the natural world and the importance of healthy eating. Gardening can be a fun and educational family activity, creating cherished memories and instilling a lifelong love of growing and eating fresh, wholesome food.
As you continue on your vegetable gardening adventure, don't be afraid to experiment and try new things. Each season brings new opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills. Consider trying your hand at companion planting, which involves growing certain plants together to enhance growth, repel pests, or improve flavor. For example, planting basil alongside your tomatoes can help repel pests and improve the flavor of your tomatoes. Similarly, planting carrots and onions together can help deter carrot flies, while planting peas and radishes together can maximize space and improve soil health.
Another fun way to mix things up is by trying your hand at vertical gardening. This is especially useful if you're working with limited space. Trellises, arbors, and hanging baskets are all excellent ways to maximize your growing area and add visual interest to your garden. Vegetables like pole beans, peas, cucumbers, and even small varieties of squash can be trained to grow vertically, saving precious ground space and creating a beautiful, productive garden.
As your love for vegetable gardening grows, you may find yourself wanting to connect with other gardeners in your community. Consider joining a local gardening club or attending workshops and seminars offered by your local cooperative extension office. These resources can provide invaluable support, advice, and camaraderie as you continue to develop your skills and knowledge. You might also consider volunteering at a community garden or participating in local plant swaps to expand your gardening network and share your passion with others.
Another way to deepen your gardening knowledge is by exploring the fascinating world of heirloom vegetables. Heirloom varieties are those that have been passed down through generations, often prized for their unique flavors, colors, and shapes. Growing heirloom vegetables not only adds diversity to your garden but also helps preserve our agricultural heritage. Many heirloom varieties are well-adapted to local growing conditions and may be more resistant to pests and diseases than their modern counterparts.
As you become more comfortable with vegetable gardening, consider expanding your efforts to include herbs and edible flowers. Herbs like basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano are not only delicious but also -
