Gardeners’ World star Monty Don has been inundated with support after revealing his Longmeadow garden has been flooded by contaminated water.<\/p>\n

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Monty shared a video of water streaming through a field, which he claims contains a high level of nitrate \u2013 which makes water unsuitable to drink.<\/p>\n

Captioning the footage, he penned: “Run-off from fields going into flooded river taking with it nitrates. Repeated a thousand times every wet day, killing our waterways.”<\/p>\n

Dozens of fans flocked to the comments section, as one person wrote: “The rain has been relentless. Plus there shouldn’t have been any left from the crop last year as farmers and agronomists put in only what is needed.”<\/p>\n

Echoing the same sentiments, someone else said: “Thank you for highlighting this problem. Seeing a lot of this around Hampshire currently.”<\/p>\n

While a third added: “We have houses built on flood plains and water now runs into roads and the drains can\u2019t cope, causing flooding \u2013 I see ducks swimming in the flooded area now \u2013 it’s crazy and sad.”<\/p>\n

Just last month, Monty heartbreakingly revealed that he and his wife Sarah were grieving\u00a0the loss of his beloved dog, Nellie.<\/p>\n

Monty announced the sad news of her death on October 21, telling his 1.2million followers on Instagram: “I was going to tell you about my new book which is published next week, but that can wait because my lovely dear Nell died last night.<\/p>\n

“She was diagnosed with cancer in June and every day this summer has been a gift but it is over now.<\/p>\n
