Outgrow : The Art & Practice of Self-sufficiency

Welcome! I’m Steve Richards, and this channel — Outgrow — is about growing organic fruit and veg all year round in our kitchen garden and allotments in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.

I garden about 10 hours a week, so I focus on relaxed efficiency, sustainability, and growing better with less effort.

Outgrow means moving beyond old gardening myths — growing up as gardeners — and out-growing what I did in previous years by using modern tools and smarter methods, while make gardening fit into a balanced good life.

We’re almost self-sufficient and love sharing our surplus. Find my free eBook, databases, apps, and newsletter linked below.
