In the second film from Ben Ranyards new Higgledy Garden we catch up on how the flower beds are progressing ,which annuals are already in flower and what you can be sowing now for beautiful flowers early next year

If you dont want to devote the space to growing main crop potatoes in your garden or you would like to new potatoes with your Christmas dinner the best way to grow them is in a container or bag. I have never seen the point in paying good money for a ‘specific potato growing bag’ when they are perfectly happy in a recycling bag supplied by yoru local council. Just 12 weeks after planting these potatoes I show you what sort of crop you can expect from them.
One of the easiest savings we can make in our garden is to produce our own liquid feeds. A variety of plants can be used for this and will give us different feeds suitable for doing different tasks. In my film I cover how to make an early season nitrogen rich feed and two ways of making potassium rich feed which is great for bulking up root crops and onions at this time of the season.
The other fantastic free resource we have which we should make more use of is urine this post explains why
The title is far more complicated than the construction!!
One of the quickest and most effective ways of creating a new productive vegetable bed is by combining the techniques of No-Dig growing and the use of Straw or Hay bales.This film explains how and why i find this such a great way to add growing beds quickly and get the bed productively producing fresh vegetables the shortest time.
Its so easy to build and within 40minuites i was planting Courgettes,Summer Squash and Winter Squash in this new No-Dig Raised bed
