In this video, I cover the 7 main skills that I have used this growing season to have the most productive year yet in the vegetable garden, and I thought I would share exactly what they are and the reasons behind why I think they have worked so well.

I've subscribed and pushed the bell but your YouTube presentations do not show up. They did for a long them then stopped. I miss them. I looked forward every Sunday morning to watch.:-(
By any chance, have you discovered anerobic conditions underneath black plastic? What are your thoughts on black landscape fabric – which will allow the soil to breathe. Thank you for all you do – Sean from the Pacific Northwest (the state of Oregon).
Use care with the black plastic or you risk overheating your beds. May not be an issue in the UK but here in the states it's a real possibility. Your beds may dry out which also will kill off the life in your soil.
Amazing new info for me!! Thank you so much. So much heat here in SouthernCalifornia most times and I keep rewatering the beds to try and keep them from drying while I can’t plant much of new straight into the bed with full sun. I just did my first bed soul reviving and hoping it works and this adds a whole other great idea with the plastic or cardboard too.
Hi Huw. Do you not find chop and drop increases slugs?
Huw I LOVE your videos ! You offer such inspiration and such wonderfully helpful information! If you ever come to the US you must come visit Wisconsin! Thank you thank you for all that you do!

Curious what you were doing to the onions in a little snapshot video. Looked like you were bending back the green of the onion but then the next shot shows harvesting the onions. Why did you bend them back?
What is that plant that looks like a huge fern at 5:00, over his left shoulder?
Indoor seedling growth gives weak and long stems
Hello Huw,
Excellent tips!
I love yours garden very much.
Hi
I am moe living in a village close to the sea in shouthern part of central java island in indonesia
It is so inspiring
I have planted some fruit trees and this month i will plant various vegetables although it is in the beginning og the dry season.
It is too hot at noon
I dream of having a full garden like yours!
You made all the work looking good like you 😉
This most likely isn't a problem for you in your climate, but if I use the black covering in California during those months it would kill all microbial life in the soil.
You blow my mind ✌
Thank you for all your incredible videos! I’m a retired female, 69 years of age, and you have inspired me to become a vegetable gardener. I wish you could visit Quebec Canada to help me grow in a very small space. It’s the 2nd of July so am going to plant broccoli; cucumber and red onion seedlings, plus some more kale seeds. It’s really hot here so hopefully they’ll be ok. Any tips for mid season planting? Thx Kelly
Will the plastic cover you placed on your raised bed leach harmful plastic chemicals into your bed?
Hey Huw 🙂 thank u for this content. I am on the process of building my future garden and i am feeling so excited to start , i feel real connection to the methods that u show on your channel.. i live in a tropical area with drastic weather changes, costa rica , and i wonder, do you think that no till and all your methods can be applied here too?
Perfect timing for this video. Thank you!
I watched a video on the "Plant Abundance" yt channel, (he lives in the State of Washington, and has a "Food Forest" in his backyard), where he uses the "chop and drop" method to improve soil. And he showed how he grows Hollyhock flowers, and uses the whole hollyhock plant as a "chop and drop" source, because the hollyhock plant has a deep taproot, and brings up vital minerals and nutrients to itself, and by using this plant as a chop and drop resource, it adds nutrition to the vegetables and other food plants you're growing in your garden.
