How to Plan a Year Round Harvest - Strategies for Continuous Crops in the Garden
How to Plan a Year Round Harvest - Strategies for Continuous Crops in the Garden
Do you view the growing season as a sprint that starts in April and ends abruptly in October? Many gardeners find themselves drowning in a glut of courgettes and runner beans in August, only to face bare soil and empty harvests by the time the first frost arrives. This "feast or famine" cycle treats your garden like a bucket—you fill it up in spring and empty it in autumn, leaving you with nothing but a muddy void for six months of the year.
It is time to stop the seasonal sprint and start building a factory line. How to Plan a Year-Round Harvest is your 95-page guide to mastering the "Conveyor Belt" mindset. This book teaches you that true food security doesn't require acres of land or a heated greenhouse; it requires a fundamental shift in timing. You will learn how to ensure that as soon as one crop leaves the soil, a succession crop is immediately ready to take its place, keeping your kitchen stocked 365 days a year.
What’s Inside
-
Master the 10-Hour Light Limit: Understand why temperature isn't the enemy—light is. Learn to calculate the "Persephone Period" and why you must "bank" solar energy in August to harvest in December
-
The "Relay Race" Planting Strategy: Solve the "Real Estate Problem" by starting winter crops in modules while your summer crops are still in the ground, effectively stealing weeks of extra growing time.
-
Beat the "Hungry Gap": Discover specific "Bridge Crops" like Purple Sprouting Broccoli and overwintering onions to fill the lean months of April and May when the winter stores run out.
-
The "Rule of Four" Calculation: Learn the critical maths of winter growth—why you need four times the surface area in January to match your July harvest volume.
-
The Greenhouse Engine: Stop trying to heat the air and start protecting the plant. Master the "Russian Doll" technique using fleece layers to keep crops alive without using electricity.
-
Insulate Your "Soil Battery": Utilize thermal inertia by applying the right mulch to keep roots warm and prevent the "wet cold" from draining your soil's heat.
-
Win the Winter Pest War: Winter doesn't eliminate pests; it shifts them. Learn to defend your crops against the "invisible" Keeled Slug and hungry woodpigeons using barriers and biology.
This guide is written for intermediate gardeners who want to move beyond the "summer hobby" phase and self-sufficiency seekers aiming to turn their patch of earth into a reliable, four-season food source.
