Grow Your Own Magazine

hello I am Ged Kirby from a little market town on the northern edge of the North Yorks Moors called Guisborough. I work for a small not for profit training company with 14-16 yearolds teaching gardening, hotricultue and animal husbandry on a piece of land just under one acre in size. We have a few pigs ducks geese and chickens but my main interest is in the gardening side inparticular the large polytunnrel which the students nickname Geds Office. I mainly grow fast criopping and low maintainance vegetables and fruit to help the type of student we have in their education and learning although from time to time I can indulge in my own home garden with its Greek and eastern mediterainian theme. My collegues and I are always looking to reuse, recycle and rebuild so would like to exchasnge any ideas other members have.
Look forward to hearing from anyone

Hi Ged and welcome. It sounds like a really worthwhile set-up you have there.

Ged
That setup does indeed sound great.

Any chance of some pictures for inspiration; and what do you grow that is fast cropping? I do have patience but love to chuck anything [except radishes] in that crops fast as I mix and match fast and slow growing crops to maximise space.
