How to Save Money by growing High-Value Vegetables

Tips, Tricks

1. Thanks for your videos. What other veggies to you recommend that grow fast & are high yielding?
2. How do you sell them?
3. Keep up the good work. Really nice that you've compared both US and UK measurements. Very informational!
4. I grew rainbow chard in my back garden for the first time this past year (2015). I couldn't believe how much I was getting off of each plant. I'd cut the stems from the outside and it just kept producing. I had so much of it I ended up composting half of it!
   Sadly though, I didn't like it but forced myself to eat it to minimise the waste. As a result, I won't be growing it again, which is such a shame as it's so easy to grow and prolific!
5. good job lad
6. Great vid, thank you
7. If people like swiss chard may i humbly suggest they check out growing some chinese leafy veg like pak choi, mustard, tatsoi, choi sum/flowering rape.  Find a variety that is resistant to bolting and they grow surprisingly well and fast. Their taste and tenderness is superior to swiss chard imo.  They germinate even faster than swiss chard.
   
   Those are quite expensive to buy in the shops (quality often sucks too) and the shop grown ones are quite inferior to even ones i grow in scottish weather.
8. thank you Stephen, this was enlightening and makes me feel ashamed I haven't worked harder to get more swiss chard growing. I love it also and it does grow so easily. thnx for sharing.
9. Great video
10. Last year I planted 2 Swiss chard plants and I harvested them every other week. I had enough from those two to feed 4 people per meal/per harvest all summer, fall, and into late December. It's a wonderful plant!
    Thanks Huw!
11. I would like if you check out my channle
12. Great info and video, thanks for sharing!
13. Great tip. Growing at home really pays especially for the high value crops as you've mentioned. For instance, the heirloom organic tomatoes I grow sell in the store for about 4.99 a pound during summer. The saving add up.
14. Ta much!  I always like to watch.  However, I think you got the maths wrong.  At £7+ for the green, it will make the US conversion to much more than $3+.  Should it have been the other way around?  Anyways, keep em growing.
15. Swiss Chard is power house of nutrition and both cold and heat hardy, prolific too.  I can eat fast enough from my garden.
16. Hello Huw  What a great channel.  You often emphasise the health benefits of the vegetables that can be grown but there are also health benefits in the actual process of growing even in small spaces.  Gardening has been shown to reduce depression and stress and increase mental well being as well as providing healthy exercise.  I am told a surgery in London has a small garden attached where patients can benefit from gardening.  Many disabled pensioners like myself benefit from growing vegetables in a small garden.  Your tips are really useful thank you.
17. Growing first lot of swiss chard this year, never knew it cost so much, will purchase some more seed now, thank you.
18. very informative huw thanks for sharing.
19. Those damn slugs ate all my chard and spinach before I could!
20. Excellent video Huw. Two factors that were not taken into consideration though. Firstly the loss of produce from insect damage, birds, rabbits etc. that can make a vast difference to the yield, particularly when using organic growing methods, but on the bright side, you didn't evaluate the virtue of saving your own seed, which would mean an initial outlay of zero for your seeds.
