Our guest today is Micheal Kelly: founder of GIY “Grow It Yourself”. He is a social entrepreneur, author, TV presenter and grower and GIY is now a leading social enterprise, with its home, GROW HQ, in Waterford. Mick also co-presented and produced three series of Grow Cook Eat for RTÉ and will present the upcoming series Food Matters in 2023.
In this episode, we speak about his new book The GIY Diaries, which invites you to join the food revolution with a beautifully illustrated diary of a year in the vegetable patch. Month by month readers learn how to create a space that gives you fresh, wholesome fruit and veg that tastes far better than anything you can find in the shops.
We also discussed growing, soil health, seasonality, the importance of scale when sending your message, the state of commercial growing in Ireland, how growing affects your home kitchen, flavours and much, much more.
Mick is at this a while and his calm, passionate, interested, informed take on sharing information has touched MILLIONS of people with the work Mick and the GIY team have done!!
