my god, what a mess, lol , how can you feed or water all that variety of veg, corn need lot more feed than carrots, and if you feed corn correctly the carrots will get burned and die , but you obviously didnt feed them, you may need to rethink you approch to organic gardening and matching your veg, but i have to hand it to you, very good try

Yes, it does look a mess.
As I say in the video, I was going away for 8 weeks and
could not look after it so I just planted very thickly about
five different vegetables, it worked fantastically.
I cam home to vegies ready to eat.
lettuce, carrots, peas, the corn and beetroot all grew well
and we ate off the garden every night.
I do not fertilise except with organic seaweed.
The soil is very fertile here, I guess.
thanks for visiting and looking at my
videos. Happy Gardening Everyon
