VIDEO: Amazing No Dig Market Garden Using Terraced Beds | Growing Vegetables, Flowers & Herbs for 50 Homes


In this last video of the winter permaculture mini-series, we visit the inspiring no dig market garden Glasbren, located in Carmarthenshire Wales. Abel Oakenshade and Steffan Lemke-Elms have transformed a steep, poor-quality piece of marginal land into an abundant & thriving 1 acre market garden, inspired by permaculture principles and regenerative growing. This is one of the best examples of no dig gardening I’ve seen, and as home growers and vegetable gardeners we can take inspiration from places like these and apply them to our own food growing projects.

  1. I really, really enjoyed everything about this video. It was probably the best video that explains the deep yearning in many of us to dig our toes into the soil, close our eyes and breathe deeply and use our hands to plant something that will live to make us live and we ultimately continue the circle. Awesome video. thanks for sharing this with us.

  2. Sea buckthorn? That's a major problem plant in a number of locations, seeds spread by birds feeding on those berries could easily become a local problem like knotweed, Himalayan balsam, rhododendron…

  3. We also must push to people wanting to leave cities and move to a countryside to not bring the sprays with them that kill everything. They say they want to be with nature, then want to kill off everything that nature has that they eat. That and Roundup. That crap to me needs to be banned here in the USA. I'm not sure if it is where you are or not. But this really needs to change and people need to stop spraying just to spray.

  4. We'd like to thank you all for watching and for all the beautiful comments. It means so much to hear what you all think, and we're blown away by how many of you have connected with the project in some way. We've just launched our new website – glasbren.org.uk – where you can keep up to date with the latest developments, events and courses and watch the project evolve. Thankyou again!
