Today I want to share with you a very simple but practical approach to growing food affordably by outlining a 3-part formula that will transform your own approach to growing food and open up the potential to save yourself a lot of money if you implement all 3 together. Whilst I could have quickly outlined everything I wanted to go in-depth and mention the things that will truly make a difference to helping you become more self-sufficient from your vegetable garden. Also happy world conservation day!

Huw, your garden looks fabulous – ‘lush’ I believe you would say. Over here in the South East our gardens and the countryside are baked brown. Talk of grass clippings is entirely academic as lawns haven’t needed cutting for months.
I cannot get enough of your garden!!! Stunning!
You've got the most beautiful garden! Whatever you're doing keep doing.
This channel will help many people. Will need lots of information for gardening in the winter.
I wish I drank coffee. I may need to change my favourite tea, as the bags aren't 'yet' compostable. I'm cutting them open for the contents though. I need to find new ways of using herbs. I love herbs but I've had a bit too much success growing them this year and now I have so many I am running out of ideas. I need some time to sit with google and learn some new recipes.
This is my first year (started late) gardening and I think I've spent as much time on YouTube videos, including Huw's, as I have in the garden. It's enabled me at least to have a lot of ideas and the cucumbers are doing fantastically. Can't wait for next year already when I'll have a proper year of it. These videos help keep me enthusiastic about it all. I could just stare at the plants for hours, love it.
“Diet awareness” – this is my learning journey! You put this so well, Huw, and I don’t think we appreciate this principle as much as we should. I need to work harder on eating ‘in season’ and growing appropriate quantities. I’ll get there, but in the meantime the family must endure courgette season!!
I've used grass clippings forever and never had any issues. It feeds, keeps the moisture in and keeps the soil cool. I remember one year I was living in an apartment and the management let me clear a small plot beside the building and I used grass clippings and we had a drought and the top was crispy n crunchy but lift up that layer and underneath it was green and moist and I had great results and awesome tomatoes that year. Have always used this great, free resource. 🙂
Meu sonho é cuidar ter uma horta,, não entendi nada do que vc falou,, tudo é maravilhoso
Great points you made in your summary – tying soil health/growing to your diet (or modifying the diet to the growing seasons/capabilities). It's going to be a tough road for many people who don't know how to cook (always eating out or buying pre-packaged foods), and getting something to grow when the "feedback loop" can be 2,3 or 4 weeks until months later, and something could disrupt that (bad weather, pests, poor soil, mismatched watering, fertilizer needs)

Non stop clickbait and unresearched advice. You don't need to be like this. See ya.
Awesome shout out to Farmer Jesse!
I love watching both of you. I’ve learned so much – thanks
The beauty and vibrancy of your garden inspires me to the point that, rather than challenge you on any of your methods/decisions, I'm in danger of slavishly following your every suggestion. Thank you for fostering a spirit of continual exploration and experimentation. The information you offer on your channel is a gift, and encouraging people to be thoughtful, creative and free in their gardens is an additional gift. Many thanks!
Will you be talking more about your compost paths in your newest book by any chance?
Shoot I've just been letting them autoplay lol, thanks for the amazing videos
Good guidelines!
I love Jesse at no till garden. His videos are so packed with information that you won’t find on other YT channels. You might enjoy RED Garden too. His red garden projects is very much like your project LEACS.
Your soil is everything. I advise new gardeners to spend twice as much on compost than you do in plants. I love your posts Huw, fabulous and accurate
Very interesting and informative video thanksxx
Huw, I am grateful for your tip about using a thin layer of grass clippings around trees; works a treat!
I used coffee ground as a mulch, and they got super moldy when wet, and super crusty when dry. Not ideal. Your mileage may vary.
