Heading one
Crops are grown using a range of methods, including traditional rows, raised beds, small areas, containers and catch crops. Several methods of training fruit trees for maximum crop yield in a limited space are demonstrated. Fences and frames, with arches and tunnels made from hazel, make good use of vertical space.
Protected cultivation of tender crops, including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and winter greens, is demonstrated in the glasshouse, in cold frames and under cloches. Varieties are selected for productivity, flavour and vigour under West Country conditions, with heritage varieties featured alongside staple crops.
