In this brand new series of The Dirt, we're chatting to Self Sufficient Hub's Carl Mintern on his exciting growing journey over the past few years. We discuss the disconnect between seed to plate and how to tackle this, the mental health benefits of growing your own and so much more! The GYO team will also be talking about organic pest control hacks, tomatoes as carnivorous killers, and taking a look at the top jobs on the plot for a week.
