The digital revolution was meant to eradicate print media. Fortunately, that hasn’t happened. Like books, there’s something about them that can’t be replaced with a Kindle or computer screen. There are loads of magazines for vegetable growers to choose from, and I’ve tried most of them. In this article I want to tell you about my five favourites. select Experts explain how pruners can help you become a better gardener How to shop for an indoor gardening system Most of the potato kit is provided by Grimme and the firm runs two New Holland rotary combines. Vegetable machinery is sourced from various companies, including Standen and Edwards Farm Machinery, with gangs of workers in place to get crops into the ground in a timely manner.

Australian gardeners, who tend to grow pumpkins to eat, usually favour Australian developed varieties like Queensland Blue, Jarrahdale, and Ironbark. Home gardeners who wish to see how big those varieties can get are advised to follow the same basic formula as Oliver: prepare your soil with rich organic matter and keep the water up. The Seasonal Workers Pilot opened in 2019 and was designed to test the effectiveness of our immigration system at supporting UK growers during peak production periods, whilst maintaining robust immigration control, and ensuring the welfare of participating migrant workers. It also provides a valuable source of labour for the UK’s fruit and vegetable growers helping to make sure that all that we grow in this country gets onto our supermarket shelves. There are four main growing systems that indoor gardening systems use: soil-based, hydroponic, aquaponic and aeroponic systems.

The world of competitive giant vegetable growing has gone through something of a renaissance in 2020, particularly in the UK. Three world records were set in the UK in September: the world’s heaviest red cabbage (31.6kg); the word’s longest salsify (5.6 metres); and the world’s longest beetroot (8.6 metres); and the UK’s heaviest ever pumpkin weighed in at 1,176.5kg in October. The expansion of the scheme follows a long period of close working with the National Farmers Unions and the Association of Labour Providers, across all parts of the UK and in particular recognition of the need for additional seasonal labour in Scotland to support local rural economies and the renowned soft fruit growers. Frymark says certain plants (like basil and chives) do well with lots of sunlight, while others will require lower light levels. If a sunny spot isn’t available, LED grow lights mimic normal sunlight and allow the plants to photosynthesize. Some systems even include dimming features along with automatic timers that’ll keep lights on for the majority of the day. What is the maintenance level? If it’s your first time setting up an indoor garden, experts shared some tips to keep it healthy and thriving year-round. I know it’s a weird thing to get into,” says Tom Carre, 24, from Portsmouth. “I’ve had some funny comments from people on the allotment.” Carre started growing giant vegetables this year when we were all confined to our homes: his work as a sound technician dried up overnight in March when theatres and live music venues shut. “It has given me something to look forward to, as funny as that might sound,” Carre says. “It’s nice to have something to keep myself busy.” Carre has found quiet satisfaction in watching the fruits of his labour loom large from the earth – this year, he grew a 2-metre-tall leek and a swede twice the size of his head. “I feel very emotionally invested in them,” he says. “I did spend my entire summer looking after them.”Keep an eye out for any indoor pests. “The sooner you deal with a pest invasion, the better chance you’ll have of getting it under control,” Bawden-Davis says. “Keep in mind that healthy plants tend to ward off pests and diseases, so make sure you’re watering only when the plants need it and provide proper lighting and regular fertilizing.”

Type of growing system: There are four main types: hydroponics, soil-based, aquaponics and aeroponics, and they all involve different methods to help plants grow. Some require more maintenance than others ( we expand on this below). Australian Kathy Ffoulkes, from Shoalwater in Western Australia, was also entered into the Guinness World Records in 2020 for growing the world’s longest snake melon, which measured 136cm.We grow UK chard, chicory, celeriac, courgettes and fennel.
