Huw Richards set himself a challenge - to be self-sufficient by growing his own fruit and veg for free for a year. He succeeded, and now wants to help you do the same.

Grow your own food in your home garden, allotment or container and look forward to a bountiful harvest year-round. You can plant fruit and veg at home without spending a penny and Huw Richard''s shows you how.

Packed with tried-and-tested advice, this gardening book covers:

- Deciding what to grow your crops in (the ground, a raised bed, or containers)
- Clear growing instructions on more than 30 species of popular annual and perennial crops
- Huw Richards'' 52-week journal of how he grew his own food for free for a year without spending a penny

Grow Food for Free teaches you how to produce no-cost, low-maintenance fruit and veg - and finding low-cost ways to overcome common gardening worries.

Learn about the space you need and how to prepare it, make your own compost, tackle weeds, pests, and diseases, and how to get hold of your first set of seeds! Discover strategies to expand your garden. Can''t afford a raised bed? Try repurposing an old wooden pallet. Don''t have money to buy lots of different seeds? Look in your kitchen cupboards for food that you can plant.
