  • 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!

    Always listen to the show as soon as it comes out. Lots of good advice. If not a keen veg grower you might wonder if the content could be kept fresh but Richard always finds something new to discus or and experiment to share.
