Growing abundance - two years of planting and cropping on 25 square metres
Small space successions with a course summary
No Dig Gardening

I crop the ‘small garden’ here at Homeacres in a varied and productive way. There are three beds of 1.5 × 4.5 m (5 ×14.7 ft), and I plant four blocks on each bed with different vegetables.

With 12 different vegetables growing at any one time, and throughout most of the growing season, my aim is to demonstrate and explain:

  • No dig in a small area, and how to manage it for a high output.
  • How to crop a diverse range of vegetables over a long period, say three fresh each day from May to November, and some in winter too.

This was how my son Edward and I envisaged it, when starting the ‘Small Garden Project’ on You Tube in September 2017. Then he left for university, and we now film during his vacations; some filming is also done by David Adams, my local videographer.
