  • Love this Podcast!

    My usual approach to growing veg is a bit “give it a go and see what happens”. I love how down to earth and simple this podcast makes it all. It really gives a bit of gentle structure to my haphazard gardening and I’mm looking forward to vastly increasing my crop with the help of the guidance provided!
