Maximizing a 25-square-metre plot for year-round food production
In short: Discover how to maintain a high-yield small garden during the peak of summer. This tour explores the balance of harvesting current crops while strategically replanting for the autumn.
Charles Dowding demonstrates how a small no-dig garden of just 25 square metres (270 square feet) can remain highly productive throughout the summer. The video highlights the current harvest of cucumbers, herbs, and beetroot, alongside new plantings of salads, chicories, and endives intended for autumn.
Because of exceptionally dry and sunny weather, the guide emphasizes specific watering priorities to keep crops viable. It explores the mechanics of succession planting—fitting new crops between existing ones—to ensure the small space produces food consistently over many months.
