Vegetables were traditionally grown in serried rows on allotments or in a veg patch tucked away at the bottom of the garden. This talk looks at more innovative ways of growing vegetables, such as growing in containers (pots, hanging baskets, window boxes etc), potagers and 'square foot' beds. It covers growing crops on walls and on roofs, and contains lots of plant information and practical tips.
