about us

We're a family based in Wales who are passionate about health, nutrition, sustainability and minimising our impact on the planet

Our Mission

We want to share our knowledge and experience to show you how easily you can grow your own food, and we aim to provide you with all the guidance and support you need to get started.

 

Based on our own trials and tribulations we’ll show you what works for us and help you to shortcut some of the mistakes we’ve made along the way.

 

In short, our goal is to help as many people as possible get growing!

Why?

There are so many reasons to grow your own food, even a small proportion of it – just a container of herbs on a windowsill has many positive benefits. Some of the reasons we love it:

  • Reduced food miles and beneficial environmental impact
  • Fresh fruit and vegetables taste so much better
  • Increased nutrient levels and exposure to beneficial bacteria
  • No pesticides and herbicides; control what you’re consuming
  • Save money and increase self-sufficiency
  • General health & wellbeing – both physical and mental

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Approach

We take a no-dig (no-till), natural, organic approach to gardening. We use no synthetic fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides.

We either sow seeds in module trays, grow on for a few weeks before planting out into raised beds, or we sow directly outside where appropriate.

 

The pages within this website walk you through our recommended approach to all of these tasks, on a per month, and per vegetable basis. You do not need to complete a full course and attempt to learn everything at once, you can find the information you need on the pages that are relevant to what you want to grow, or the time of year you are starting
