Arne Maynard’s Tips for a Kitchen Garden:
1. Subdivide your plot into beds so you can more easily manage the crops and ensure they are rotated to prevent soil disease.
2. Create an enclosure to protect the plot from potential predators.
3. Grow tomatoes in pots or beds.
4. Use step-over and arched fruit in smaller plots to save space in the main beds.
5. Plant courgettes and squash directly onto the compost heap. They love the rich material and add interest to what can be an unsightly (but essential) area of the kitchen garden.
6. Ensure there is a sufficient water supply for the kitchen garden.
