The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
Description:
Hello and welcome to Allotment Grow How… For the last 10 years I’ve been organic gardening on my vegetable plot here in the UK.
My aim is to become as self-sufficient as I can by growing as much organic produce as I can, to help supplement my income. I chart the yearly progress on the vegetable plot and strive to show you the successes and the failures throughout my growing season.
I’ve tried to be as realistic as I can with my goals and I understand that self-sufficient living takes time and effort.
I’d love it if you would follow me on my journey to self-sufficiency, happiness and wellbeing.
Thank you for subscribing, it really helps and I hope to see you on the next video :-)
