Grow the crops you actually want to eat, says Joe Harrison

Joe Harrison joins Blake and Rose to discuss the gardening triumphs and disasters that he’s encountered during his time growing on his Lowestoft allotment site. From trying out the straw bale technique for producing potatoes to not getting a tomato crop from some volunteer plants.
