Stephanie Hafferty Homesteading

Welcome! On this channel you will find videos sharing the highs and lows of gardening on a hill in West Wales (UK). Passionate about healthy food, plants and soil, I have been growing my own for over 30 years, using no dig methods for 17 years.

I moved here with my family in March 2021, leaving a productive no dig garden in Somerset where I'd lived for 20 years & made the first no dig bed using cardboard & compost on weedy lawn on March 31st. I plan to be as self sufficient as possible here.

Follow my channel to learn how to create no dig beds using thrifty and resourceful methods, and many different kinds of mulches, how to grow abundant crops year round and what to do with it all, from creating delicious plant based seasonal meals to growing plants for skin care and dyes.

My new book The Productive Garden: An essential guide towards self-sufficiency will be published in March 2026 and is available for preorder now.
