This morning I posted a new video sharing seven tips for growing the best garden ever in 2024.
Keep it simple, and prosper!
You really don’t need anything fancy to grow lots of food.
My latest book Minimalist Gardening: The Good Guide to Growing Food with Less came out last week, and we did this video so you can sample just a little of what I write about in the book.
If you are busy and feeling guilty about not being able to grow as much as you would like, don’t get overwhelmed. Gardening may seem too complicated, and you might think you need some sort of magical “green thumb” to make it happen. Yet don’t we want pesticide-free food? And survival calories in the ground in case of an emergency? And the best, freshest, tastiest produce in the world?
Wouldn’t you like to know how to grow food without all the complexity? To just walk out into your garden and enjoy the aroma of fresh dill and rosemary? To pluck sun-warmed tomatoes? To dig rich, orange sweet potatoes from healthy soil?
You don’t need to buy lumber and build beds, or create some fancy watering system.
You can see clips of our gardens in the video above. They’re lovely, and we got over 2500lbs of food from our backyard last year. In my new book, you’ll learn how to cut through the complexity and grow food with simplicity. You’ll discover how to find easy-to-grow varieties, and you’ll learn how to put food on your table without expensive and time-consuming methods.
If you have a little land, a little time, and the desire for a healthier life, you can put fresh produce on the table, grow an abundance of hearty roots and greens in your backyard, and stop feeling overwhelmed about gardening.
Minimalist Gardening shows you how.
