They say that size doesn’t matter, it’s what you do with it that counts. And when it comes to growing our own food, that’s certainly the case. Renowned gardener Huw Richards and highly accomplished chef Sam Cooper have spent the last two years working out how we can all grow as much fruit and veg as we can eat, on just a small plot of land. They share this perfect growing formula, along with practical tips, recipes and month by month growing plans in their new book, The Self-Sufficiency Garden: Feed Your Family and Save Money.
In conversation with GIY Founder Mick Kelly, Huw and Sam describe their two-year food production journey, what they have learned about growing copious amounts of food in small spaces, and what this means for nutrition and food sustainability.
