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)

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.

​​​@@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. 👍🏻💚🌱

@@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! 😊…

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.

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 !

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.

My heart melts watching two of my favorite gardeners get together. I live in West Maui where we had the devastating fires. Our community garden survived as it was 6 miles from the fire but many of our members lost their homes and everything they owned. The garden is helping us pull together and digging in the dirt and planting helps so much with the overwhelming collective grief we have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Ben and Huw for this beautiful video.

I was so sorry to see the news of the fires in Maui. I hope the community is making good progress in recovering from this distressing experience. Growing and getting your hands in the dirt can be a bit healer. My heart goes out to all of you guys over there.

Hi, I'm normally not really of putting these message in, But I must say that I love what both you and Huw do. Like the video's about gardening and such, and the way you do do garden. Also you both have a somewhat relatable climate to me (the netherlands) so it's lovely to get the right information for when I need it. Right when I'm typing this I have one of Huw's books next to me for planning. This is my thirt year of having a vegetable garden (right in my backyard) so that nice and closeby (not a lot of sun in the whole garden, but I only need to grow food for 1 person so thats good. Anyhow thank you so much for this video, I enjoyed it massively. Cheers.

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.

That's really super to hear. I think having some sort of protected space really does add so many more options. :-)
