Great tips Huw, very practical. I love your motto, "Don't panic and grow organic!"

Thank for the videos

To Hurong...Green onions are very cheap, I buy them and plant them in the dirt. Cut the green part and they'll grow back again.. simple. Certain times of the season I plant a cauliflower core in the ground and I cut the leafs off and eat them. Squeeze a lemon use the seeds to grow a tree. Coffee grounds, eggs shells mix them in your dirt for your soil. There are many things. just look them up on the internet.

How do you make compost?

Hi Huw, first time I'm across your video and now subscribed! :)
I'm having trouble downloading the ebook, Scribd will only let me download if I pay them $8.99 for a one day subscription, have you uploaded this anywhere else or can you email it to me?

I've grown food from the supermarket... Green onions, cabbage, dry seeds from lemons, etc..

Great video Huw :)
I am testing my green thumbs this year.
It will be a challenge though as I only have a balcony to work with, luckily it is south facing and not overshadowed so sunlight isn't a problem. Due to the small space I am trying container varieties of several veggies and looking to maximise the use of my vertical space.
I would be interested to hear your ideas for small space vegetable gardening :)
Much love xx

Horse people are desperate to give away their horse manure for free. Only thing is that it is full of grass seed as horses don't digest very well.

Here is a few excellent tips. I drive out into the country to find a creek bed that travels under the road. I dig up as much decade matter, which is full of dead insects and plant matter. It's free and I normally fill up at least ten, five gallon buckets. When I take a trip to the coast I load up on as much seaweed as I possible can and put that in my compost bin. At (work) after supper I take all the food scrap that's left over, off the plates and put that in my compost. My compost is so rich I can grow anything. I don't need fertilizer or much water. I always save a few of the plants and let them go to seed. Then replant. I probably spend 40.00 a year on gardening and live high on the hog. I have three chickens which gives me about 2 eggs a day. I use the sink and shower water for the garden. My only grocery bill is for: flour, sugar, powdered milk and meat. But I usually hunt for pigeon and fish. I have a deep freeze and store enough for 6 months. Dry and can enough for longer periods. A lot of vegetables can be fermented for a long period, so I don't have to refrigerate much. Oh! and my garden is in a small backyard. My fruit trees are Espalier style. I also keep a rocket stove outside and cook about three days worth of meals, so i don't end up using air-conditioning in the summer. I also ride a bike to work, so I save an insane amount of gas and keep a sexy body at 52. So growing vegetable cheaply can be done. Oh! also, rotate your crops and plant every 4 weeks so you always have a continuous supply. I have tried 2 and 3 weeks but the plants seem to mature at the same rate, so 4 weeks is just right. Mother Earthier.

Great video

if anyone is spending $100 a year on growing veg, there is something being done wrong,
apart from some seeds that i need to buy which cost me about £10 per year, thats all i spend,
everything else comes from the allotment & i have been gardening for around 41 years
as too only growing veg you like, i disagree, you should try growing a new veg each year, you may find you like them, and grow each time
like i do, upto 10 years ago i never even tasted kohl rabi, now i grow them every year.
own grown veg taste far better than shop bought veg, what you may buy in the shops taste horrible to you,
try growing it for yourself, you may like the taste , i cant stand corn from the shops, as they are way to starchy, but fresh off the plant, and cooked withing a hour of picking, i love them......you have nothing to lose, just try something different

thanks
