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 :-)

We have Great Spotted Woodpeckers in my local wood. These birds don’t have a song or a call to establish territory so they drum on the side of dead tree trunks to advertise ownership of their particular patch of woodland. Please like, share, comment and SUBSCRIBE XX #woodpecker #woodpeckerpecking

Onion sets are really cheap and easy to grow. If you are a first time gardener then these should be on your must try list. Today I plant my onion sets out on the plot. I also show you what’s happening up on the plot and I make a grim discovery. #onionsets #plantingonions #gardening Please…
I had a go at a live stream… probably wont do it again, far to nerve wracking, but if you fancy watching me freak out… then give this a go
