How we save money growing food in the city



This is a spring tour of both our garden in central London uk. Our front yard is 5 x 2 meters and backyard of just 8 x 5 meters and yet, we manage to save so much money by growing our own food all year round. I just want to share what we do because I believe people gets discouraged about growing food especially when renting a property and having just a small space or limited time due to a busy life but me and my partner have been doing this for 8 years, both working full time. I hope to inspire you to experience the same joy this journey brought into our life.

    Your videos are a great inspiration for me to continue with my green area in my garden ! I took a lot of ideas from you! Keep going what you do and thanks!!!

  14. HotSpot

    I wanted to know with the worm farm. Can you also attach a little outline hose and collect methane from it too since its like a mini biodigester?

  15. That British Homestead

    We are not centrial, we are greater london, We grow a lovely front and back garden with 2 allotments. I think its very very important to have your own veggies etc

  17. Keith Crane

    I’m from the US and love your videos. I’ll be in London next week and would love to visit your garden if you have visitors!

  18. Rowinggranny

    What you grow in your garden is incredible, I love watching these videos because they are packed with practical ideas. Thank you..

    Lots can also be grown in pots so If you have to move home the pots go too. Do you find using spent mushroom compost you also get the odd few random mushrooms as a bonus? Love the bamboo idea.

  24. Emma Welsh

    Thank you! This is super inspiring. I've been working hard transforming my garden space to grow edible foods and flowers for the bees. All different kind people have given me plants and seeds. It's great for the soul. ❤

  28. BaN2

    its great, 👍 i want to see those composting bins and worm farm in a separate detailed video

    You have a such a unique accent: sometimes you sound very English (particularly your vowels) and then sometimes very Italian. That aside, keep up the good work! 🍅🍊🌽🌻🪴🌱🌳🌾🥕🥔

    i love this guy…he's an herb guy and i love growing herbs too…soon, i will be making oils from herbs too….i will learn it..

  33. Albino Gorilla

    I'm not even vegan and don't have plans on ever being vegan but I have so much respect for this man and what he does. If everyone only grew some of their own crops.

  34. Kelly S

    I'm curious as to the orientation of your gardens, are they East and West facing?
    Also….mention your book!! 🙂

  35. TEE Tracy Frazier

    You are outstanding you should have your own tv show on the bbc people like you are kings in their own kingdom and a gem to the nation
    Outstanding sir

  38. Gabriella Wilkosz

    Wow the mini composting station interplanted in beds and pots is such a sick idea! Will definitely be giving that a go!

  42. Adriana Nightmare

    We're starting our garden this year. It's small, and we don't have much… but hopefully we can just build on it and make it more lush each year.

    After a long heavy rain, smack the logs with a mallet to trigger fruiting! Hope you get a ton. I have 6 logs and I have an abundance in my pantry. Well worth the wait!
