Just to explain, I'm a 60+ female, a lazy gardener with weak bones. Every few years I get beaten by slugs and give up growing vegetables.

Just to explain, I'm a 60+ female, a lazy gardener with weak bones. Every few years I get beaten by slugs and give up growing vegetables. I'm back on the beat again now, albeit a bit late as I had other stuff taking my time over the last few months. What I really need is an experienced gardener whispering in my ear about how to go about jobs, advice, tips, etc. But sadly I don't have anyone to help me so I went to Youtube looking for gardening advice for Irish gardens and was surprised at how little there was, they were mainly in the UK and USA. Anyway, I finally settled in to watch Charles Dowding (UK) as his no-dig method seemed just the ticket for someone like me, I came across him on Gardeners World with Monty Don recently. I also found videos by a Canadian gardening in Ireland called RED gardens and have started watching his methods. I have no connection with either of these guys. What other videos should I check out, in particular by Irish gardeners in Ireland? I'm a perennial beginner!
