This is a resource post on the subject of growing garlic the films cover the methods I use and the how to construct a raised bed which will grow not only great garlic but is one of the best and most productive ways of growing vegetables in a garden or an allotment.
There is also a film about wild garlic which you can forage and a film covering elephant garlic both of which are relatives of the Garlic we grow
This first film covers how to grow garlic and shows you type of soil it prefers the spacing it needs and the varieties I have found grow well.
Can you imagine food without garlic? Whether Mediterranean, Indian, Chinese or Thai as with so many other cuisines, garlic forms one of the major flavours of our meals. But,yet for most of us the garlic that we eat is a pale imitation of what we can quite easily grow.
This is a resource post on the subject of hotbeds,it how to construct then and how we can use then to grow salads and vegetables earlier in the season as the hot bed temperature will be in excess of 8C (the ground temperature necessary for the germination and growth of many spring veg) even if there is frost.
This film is a month after we sowed the hot bed and it shows germination and growth we have achieved, also as the air temperature has risen and how this affects the hotbed
This film shows how you can utilize the hot bed concept for seed germination which is especially useful if you have a pollytunnel or greenhouse with no electricity
In most western cultures when you mention using human urine as a natural fertiliser the most common reaction is shock. This is a shame, as we can make great use of the power of Pee.
We can learn a lot about just how effective urine can be for gardens from growing and gardening practices in under developed countries where the gardeners know how to get the most from this precious resource.
Rocket,salad rocket or Arugula to give it its most common names is a herb that actually prefers to grow in the cooler months and is really productive in Spring and Autumn and is much less likely to bolt and run to seed than it will during the height of Summer.
