One raised bed. A little bit of planning. And a surprisingly impressive amount of homegrown food.
Veg in One Bed by Huw Richards is a brilliantly practical guide to growing your own vegetables in even the smallest of spaces — perfect for anyone who's ever fancied wandering into the garden and coming back with something for supper.
Designed around the wonderfully simple idea of growing an abundant harvest from just one raised bed , Huw takes you through the entire year, showing you what to sow, when to plant and how to keep your little patch productive from one season to the next.
From building and preparing your bed to sowing seeds, planting out, feeding and finally harvesting, everything is explained clearly and without making vegetable growing feel unnecessarily complicated.
You'll discover how clever planning and succession planting can make a relatively small space work surprisingly hard, providing a changing harvest of fresh, seasonal vegetables throughout the year.
Whether you've got a compact garden, a corner of an allotment or simply want to have a go at growing some of your own food, this is the sort of gardening book that makes you think, actually, I could do that.
