In this episode, Rachel looks at what creates a good soil structure, the key to growing healthy, abundant plants as well as time-saving garden hacks for growing potatoes and other vegetables.

She also looks into the work of Viktor Schauberger and why copper tools can be a gardener’s best friend!

Which is best – the dig or no-dig method for growing vegetables? And are copper gardening tools really worth the money? And how can you grow potatoes without watering, earthing up or any real amount of work? And we also take a look at what the Soil Food Web is and why it’s important when growing plants.

      Hi Rachel
      Would you be able to tell me if you know of any garden designers that would be able to draw up some plans for us. We are having trouble visualising and getting the proportions right but only need plans as we want to do the work ourselves. We are based in sheffield.
      Any information would be appreciated.
      Thank you
      Lisa Robinson
