OGPod Episode 16: Kate McEvoy and Real Seeds
Description
James speaks to Kate McEvoy from Real Seeds in Pembrokeshire. We talk about the gradual growth of the business over many years, growing seed for home gardeners, the importance of open-pollinated seed and incorporating seed growing into market gardens., We delve deep into growing peas and beans for seed, economics of seed vs veg, what you need to think about on top of actually growing seed when you run a seed business and the scope for more small-scale seed companies. Later on, Kate discusses her use of movable caterpillar tunnels with some really great tips so hang for that. I know lots of you will find this conversation really valuable so, let’s get to it.
