Trying your hand at self sufficiency? Learn from a pro! In this week's episode Ben visits gardener and fellow RU-vidr Huw Richards to find out his secrets to a hugely productive garden that yields insane harvests! Just wait until you see how much food this small garden can produce. It may be small but it's mightily impressive.
Huw's garden was sown, grown, harvested and weighed for his latest book, The Self-Sufficiency Garden, co-authored with chef Sam Cooper. We reckon it's a jolly good read. You can find out more about the book or order yourself a signed copy here: www.regenerative.press/book-s...

Thanks for checking in and watching this latest video, which was filmed last summer in early August. Huw's got quite the setup hasn't he! Everything in the garden you see was sown, grown, harvested and weighed for his latest book, The Self-Sufficiency Garden, co-authored with chef Sam Cooper. I reckon it's a jolly good read. You can find out more about the book or order yourself a signed copy here: www.regenerative.press/book-store Cheers for watching! 😃🌱🍅

Is this video from January or was it earlier in winter in 2023? It looks like it is now, but there is no way we could grow cucumbers in the winter here in Zone 7...its only 7 degrees outside (-14 Celsius)

This is exactly what we need to help families needing to find extra cash … spending less for food. This vegetable self sufficiency I have been working towards in my garden.

@GrowVeg 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely. Huw has done a great job of showing how much can be grown - it was a real inspiration.

@Itried20takennames 5 месяцев назад

Except for most, gardening does not save cash….if you count the land costs, water, soil, fertilizer or supplements your time, etc. it is the rare garden that can beat grocery store prices, where the huge factory farms can use the economy of scale and get good at what they do. So great for self sufficiency and as a hobby, but don’t go into gardening expecting to save much money….at best, might just break even with grocery store prices.

@christianerardt3705 5 месяцев назад

@@Itried20takennames@GrowVeg Of course, it depends on your abilities, if you have a garden or other space where you can grow your vegs and fruits. But first: Huw has always been on gardening with low costs, using stuff you have or can easily get. Second: if you think of normal cheap supermarket food, that's not the same level of freshness, vitality, organic, full of chemical fertilizer or pestizides. If you take food from a little organic gardener and compare these prices you have much more to pay for. Third: you can collect your own seeds from most plants you grow. Fourth: the taste, the pleasure of eating your own crops, the benefit of being outside in the nature, the joy you feel there ... that's not buyable 😉 ... and noone said you had to be completely self-sufficiant. Every little thing you can grow makes a difference, and you can start on a window sill or a balcony. 👍🏻💚🌱

@honeyb1286 5 месяцев назад

@@Itried20takennames I haven’t got any land costs. I grow in my garden, increasingly from saved seeds from fruit (pruning/runners) and veg , flowers grown before … less cost there. Some compost bought in but mainly home made compost mix from sieved kitchen and garden compostables/leaf mould and worm farm/mole soil), plus a bit of wood ash. Use wood from skips for beds and wind break netting for protection. It’s been quite low cost for me … Whereas the amount of food produced and it’s estimated farm shop costs and the fitness (no gym cost) and good health achieved, very much outweighs the set up or on going cost of a fruit and veg garden. PS also makes me very happy. I can’t put a value on that! 😊…

@psalm919 4 месяца назад

Did Huw have any berries in there. You can get loads of goose berries and black currants just from one of each bush.

@johnransom1146 5 месяцев назад

Cheers from Nova Scotia. I’ve been gardening since 1974. Back during the first oil crisis. Then as now food prices soared with fuel prices and shortages of both happened. Food security and self sufficiency were the trends of the day. It’s much easier now. Not easy but easier lol. These guys are a wealth of time tested methods

@GrowVeg 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for watching. I really feel that growing your own has taken on a new importance recently - it can save so much and, to boot, the food is going to be far more nutritious too.

Thank you for showing what a kitchen garden can do, especially with food becoming more expensive, less flavoursome and seemingly rotting faster on the shop shelves. Seeing what can be achieved gives the spark to try. Now I need to find the way to make it happen in my soggy garden.

Very inspiring video! I wish I had 1/10 of his talent, because I have the same space (maybe a little bit more!) but it definitely is less productive than this. I'm trying to follow your videos to learn more! What I learned after 2 years : * I need to stop procrastinating. When seeds are sprouted and ready, then I have to do it and stop telling me "I'll plant them tomorrow" * I live in zone 5b with long snowy cold winters. Hoop houses are not luxury. * potatoes in 10gal/40L pots works really well! * tomatoes in 10gal/40L is not the case, this year they'll go in soil * some veggies really need to be planted multiple times a year (courgettes!) * it is hard to plan a garden season after season. Your app looks really cool but I dont like your subscription-based model. Thanks for all your videos !

@theclumsyprepper 5 месяцев назад

I don't think Huw is doing all this work on his own though, I believe he'd got a team of people working with him in the garden and helping with filming and editing - plus this is his full time job. I have a big garden as well, but mine will never be as productive as this one as I have to juggle other things with it - in other words don't be too hard on yourself. You can only do so much in your own, especially if you have a job to go to and doing the gardening in your spare time.

@GrowVeg 5 месяцев назад

Agreed. I have a tiny urban lot. Whole thing is 66' X 106'. With a 1400 SF house, large attached garage, covered patio, driveway etc plus mature trees.

Even the tree removal guy looked at the newly opened space and said it was perfect for tomatoes.

@SwervinErvins 4 месяца назад

I wish we had allotments that big here in the States. I’m on a waitlist right now for a 10’x15’ in-ground community garden plot. I have some raised beds at home but no space for the big crops like corn, sprawling winter squash or jerusalem artichokes. I’m very intrigued with Huw’s new book and I wonder how I can adapt it for Colorado’s short but hot summers and its long and bitter cold winters. Huw maybe I can be a guinea pig of your methods?

Everything home grown is better than store bought. I always say that everyone should become self-sufficient in at least one consumable... whether that's gardening, honey as a beekeeper (myself), maple syrup, etc. It is truly rewarding to eat the fruits of your labor; there is something life altering about it. Last year I grew bell peppers, chilis, and Carolina Reapers, and grabbing a few for dinner from my own back yard (figuratively speaking; they were in pots alongside my driveway for adequate sunlight) was something special.

No where near Huw's family gardens, I've been adding to my protective gardening capabilities with a year round polycarbonate greenhouse, a 16ft polytunnel and adding one more this spring. Within each grnhse/polytunnel I grow hydroponically/grow bags and vertical stacked planters - all aimed at more production. I also maintain multiple 18x4 raised beds. All within a 24x24 growing space I have the growing equivalent of nearly 200ft grow space. I've found by implementing various grow methods I can optimize three season growing in Zone7.
