Massively Productive Small-Scale Suburban Vegetable Garden | Backyard Self-Sufficiency on a Budget
Growing your own vegetables in a small-scale suburban vegetable garden is a great way to become more self-sufficient and save money on groceries. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create a garden that is both productive and beautiful.
The first step in creating a small-scale suburban vegetable garden is to decide what type of garden you want to create. Do you want to grow a traditional row garden, or would you prefer a raised bed garden? Raised bed gardens are great for small spaces, as they can be built to fit any size yard. They also allow for better drainage and soil aeration, which can help your plants thrive.
Once you’ve decided on the type of garden you want to create, it’s time to start planning. Start by researching what types of vegetables grow best in your area. Consider the amount of sunlight your garden will receive, as well as the soil type and pH level. You’ll also want to consider the amount of space you have available and how much time you’re willing to devote to maintaining your garden.
Once you’ve done your research, it’s time to start planting. Start by preparing the soil. If you’re using a raised bed garden, you’ll need to fill it with soil and compost. If you’re using a traditional row garden, you’ll need to till the soil and add compost. Once the soil is ready, you can start planting your vegetables.
When planting your vegetables, it’s important to consider the spacing between plants. Different vegetables require different amounts of space, so be sure to research the spacing requirements for each type of vegetable you’re planting. You’ll also want to consider companion planting, which is the practice of planting certain vegetables near each other to help them grow better.
Once your vegetables are planted, it’s time to start caring for them. Water your plants regularly, and be sure to weed your garden regularly. You’ll also want to fertilize your plants to ensure they get the nutrients they need to grow.
With a little bit of effort and planning, you can create a small-scale suburban vegetable garden that is both productive and beautiful. Not only will you be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor, but you’ll also be able to save money on groceries and become more self-sufficient.

Hopefully some nice gardening inspiration for us in these dark winter days😀 I really enjoyed visiting Becky's incredible garden back in the summer! Thank you so much for watching and you can follow Becky on Instagram at https://instagram.com/sow_much_more?igshid=11a6aofcctt2o 🌱
I can't even tell you how often I come back and revisit this video. Being a small-scale, urban homsteader myself, but also being so early into my journey this is everything I am calling into my life. I own about a 10th of an acre in the city where my house sits and it's so limiting but also so abundant at the same time when I think about house much can actually be done at such a small scale.
Will I ever have a garden
this is absolutely amazing! how inspirational for anyone who thinks they don’t have enough space to garden. thank you for this video❤
amazing
Xin chào bạn ❤, chúc bạn ngày mới tốt lành ❤
I use the same meticulous planning as yourself.
6:45 trouble is, people living in apartment buildings have no other choice just to rely on mass agriculture
Great garden, I can't believe it's only 120 square metres!
❤️🔥
What a special space! A few months ago I found a random seedling sprout in my compost, so a few months ago I threw it into an old, raised garden bed and last weekend I harvested 5 butternut pumpkins/squash. Seeing them grow almost by accident gave me the bug so we’re now planning a backyard similar to yours 🙂
Awesome video, love Beckys enthusiasm and the knowledge she has to share! More videos please!
What is that yellow pepper in the pot you are harvesting? I love how it fits so well in the pot!
Well done.
Beautyful garden

Amazing garden especially in such a short period of time. Love it.
where do you grow all the chips????
Great 👍 nice 🙂
More please!!
I was enjoying this until you spoke about carbon footprints 🥱😴🤯 seriously 1 million years ago the planet at the equator was 16-18 degrees higher, proven by scientists… not a political party trying to drum up a new tax for the bottom 98% of the planet, god woman your so clever but yet so silly for buying into propaganda driven by elites for profit… please think for yourself and by that I mean look back to the late nineties or 2000’s “climate change” was mentioned from a mobile exon television commercial?? Yep the one of the top ten biggest polluters in the worlds industrial machine has sold you into a fake “thing” they made up pretending there fuel or oil was cleaner and they were against climate change… the irony
you have a wonderful garden!!
Cut back on eating so much of your food 😄
Would love to see more from Becky!
Love your enthusiasm that shines through in the video. One of the biggest things we can do to reduce our impact on the planet is to eat plant based. As you mentioned in the video, most of the monoculture crops goes to feeding animals. Instead of filtering nutrients through animals, we could just eat the plants instead.
Do you have a youtube channel?
nice one Becky
loved it, learning lot from you
Such a beautiful garden❤️
Here’s an alternative exotic vegetables and fruit garden. https://youtu.be/AEEgOuvZyYE
it is very interesting. thank u Becky.
I have all sorts of herbs vegetables growing in the garden plus fruit trees I spend all my time in garden 😁🇬🇧
That garden looks massive compared to mine, but we still grow what we can
That was beyond beautiful! Every word! Same here, can't wait for my own patch of land and hoping to for all this! Definitely looking up her IG account, and absolutely LOVE the idea of actually explaining the science rather than just growing. Beautifully put the whole video, and I'm so inspired!
What crops are in this garden?
This is similar to my garden but mine is terrible. I made a mistake by growing mulberry trees . Everything is out of control and overcrowded. I grew whatever I saw online . I do have pest, rat and snake issues .
Her garden style is very nice for someone who have a lot of free time ♥️♥️♥️
This is not a small space
SMALL?!?? 👀 Do you have a video of an actually small garden? This is absolutely massive! And a greenhouse!!! I don't even have room for a compost bin 👀😅
She is the right amount of thick😤
