A productive patch from scratch

Treat your vegetable patch as a valuable asset and you will be rewarded with the best return – healthy food

Location, location, location

When deciding on the best home for your vegetable patch, follow the sun. Vegetables need sun to grow well, so the area should be in the sunniest part of the garden. Easy access to water is important too, as vegetables will not crop well if they suffer drought. Gardeners also need sun, so don’t forget to keep a little spot for sitting and relaxing amid the burgeoning produce.
