About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving partner, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Monmouthshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
There is a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep chickens and Aylesbury ducks.

    Lovely video, might try next year as it’s my first year gardening, so the few weeds with no dig I can spot at the moment if I see something growing out of place!

    Liz, I am never disappointed by watching your videos. You are such a love. Wisdom, kindness, resilience, humor, and being in it together. So grateful that you are you, and that you keep us updated on what you are up to. Cheering you on!

    cook irom tasting veg with a tied few sprigs of thyme. it makes the iron taste go away. i used to hate lentils until started adding thyme into the cooking.
    thyme is also a perfect cooking partner for carrots.

    I’ve never heard of anyone doing this before but it certainly has peeked my interest. I might do it down the middle of my brassica/pole bean bed. Everything around the edges is thriving but there’s an enormous gap down the middle of these 4 foot wide beds where frost destroyed the lavender.

    I cringed the whole time you were mixing the seed…I could just see that container going head over turkey. So glad you got through unscathed.

    Look forward to updates! I never seem to have much success with direct sowing at this time of year. What's the secret?

    I never look glamorous gardening. I've long given up and I sweat way too much. I wear old T shirts and tatty leggings, or shorts. I hate my hair long because of the sweat so I cut it myself with the long thinning scissors and my hubbie cut the back. I use the neckline of my T shirts to pull up and wipe the sweat, so often have a really dirty front. You looked good compared to me. Lol

    I’m going to do this on all the empty ground between my brassicas! What a great idea
    I traced back to your brassica tunnel video to buy one similar – the affiliate link is broken – would you like to upload it again here?

    Hi! I love Nigella too! Last year I had mix of white, pink and blue ones in my patio pots. I use seeds in bread baking, they bring very nice flavour to bread dough.
