A well-followed YouTuber, Huw Richards is a relative newcomer to the vegetable garden, one of the new generation. I like the way he explores the rich potential of the raised bed – that’s right: just one. And he manages to incorporate every backyard trick from harvesting pea shoots to making compost. As ambitious as it’s appealing, his Veg in One Bed will probably persuade most backyard veggie growers to expand their plots before the first season is even over. 

From Bill's list on backyard veg.

Huw has a mission - to help us all to grow some of our own food. In his three books to date he’s addressed our most common excuses: I don’t have the space, I can’t afford it, I don’t know how to do it. In this, his first, he shows us how to grow 19 different vegetables in a year in just a 3m x 1.2m raised bed.
