    I use to think that a Hollywood life was the dream but now that im older, I've realized one day living in the country, having a sustainable garden is the real dream and brings more meaning to ur life. Loved the video my dude ❤🌿

    Charles has been a major force in me throwing myself into the garden.
    I started a small vege garden 12 mths ago at an over 50s village in Australia.
    It has been a massive hit with the residents and is now approaching 200 m^2 in size.
    There's still so much to learn......so I grow in awe each day of men like Charles whose knowledge and experience are black gold to my mind.

    thank you for this garden tour of Charles Dowding's garden; I've always found Home Acres beautiful and a tremendous inspiration for my own. Blending functionality with aesthetics is no easy task, but the aesthetic value of the vegetable garden can convince more people to try it to enhance the beauty of their home. It's a lower value than saving animals but whatever it takes to get there. Like you said Gaz...you can't truly appreciate food until you grow it. It's not even a close...

    Gaz, to point you in the direction regarding your question about nutrient density of the plants, read the book "Eating on The Wild Side" by Jo Robinson :) One topic it discusses is how quickly nutrients are lost once harvested (depending on the plant).

    *"That makes harvest difficult....."* OH MY how I can relate to that! I grew small sugarloaf cabbages for the first time and was so amazed and so incredibly proud of them that I delayed picking them, just couldn't bear to do it - and then had cabbage butterfly moths descend and obliterate them. Still kicking myself hard but using it as a learning experience! Nice to know though that I have one thing in common with such a great gardener LOL Beautiful video *THANK-YOU* - Charles' garden is SUCH a joy and inspiration to just look at from the other side of this planet. Cheers from Sydney

    Great video! Regarding the nutrition question, I've been researching this myself in regards to homegrown vegetables vs. supermarket vegetables. Things like Spinach lose something like 90% of their vitamin C over the course of just a few days. Most vegetables lose between 15 to over 80% of their nutritional content before it makes it to your plate if you're buying vegetables from the supermarket. To make matters worse, the produce is picked before it's ripe, and then artificially ripened (even the organic stuff), so it never even gets a chance to develop full flavor and nutrition in the first place, before losing a lot of it in shipping, and sitting on the shelf.
    It's one of the things that's pushed me to start growing our own food starting this year. Your channel is an inspiration in that endeavour. Thank you.

I dry out my food scraps, put them in 100-liter bags, with chicken compost, horse poo, vermiculite, excess straw, etc, and then some soil on top, I grow all my greens this way and it is awesome as you can move the bags around, I hardly use any soil and the veges are super green and healthy. And the worms that are left in the bag at the end, so many worms.
