I explain how you might set up a garden, including the benefits and importance of well-maintained paths. You see examples from different parts of Homeacres, and from my previous garden at Lower Farm.

Lesson 7 – Bed width and orientation, with sides or without

You can have beds of any width, and align them in whichever way works best for you in the context of your site. I explain the value of sides to beds in some situations, and the many reasons you may not want them.

Lesson 8 – Pathways to value, and extra harvests
