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 :-)

The daffodils have come up on the allotment and they look lovely.

If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that I can produce a very average video and this is no exception. There’s a bit about digging, there’s also a late potato reveal and then there’s my very bad haircut to consider. Anyhow, if you’re having trouble sleeping then this is the video for…
This first video of 2019 needs to be watched in 4K to fully appreciate how average it is. If you haven’t got 4K then it’ll be like watching it through some old cola bottles. Trees and vegetables star in this video. Get your inner rave on and enjoy . Please, like, share, comment and SUBSCRIBE…

So here’s my vid about this particular tag. Is it sad that my favourite video is about potatoes? I’ll tell you what is sad… my bloody new haircut, that is a real thing people, it wasn’t a dare. I actually asked them to cut it like this. Oh well… Thanks for watching – hit the…
You must be sick of seeing my videos this week, I know I am… BUT I have been off the Tube for almost 3 months so I’m just smashing out all the vids in a short space of time. Normal apathy will resume very soon. So in this ripsnorter of an episode I do a…
I had a go at growing a big marrow this year, you know – just for fun. Well it turned out that I did get quite precious about it and I think I’ve been bitten by the ‘BIG’ bug. I’m definitely gonna have another go next year. Big is the new small it seems. I…

In early September myself and PBA spent 10 days in the Scottish Highlands.
