· Soil regeneration – being savvy with our soil; using mulch and no-dig.
· Water management – tips for capturing rain in the landscape and watering wisely.
· Crop care (including tips on ‘pests’) – choosing, feeding and maintaining your plants.
· Incredible edibles - explore some beyond-the-norm’ varieties that are easy-grow and climate-resilient.
· Nature nurture – how building healthy ecosystems benefits crop growing as well wildlife.
· Seed sowing and saving – self-resilient ways to be smart with your seeds.
