How I Turned This Lawn Into a Vegetable Garden (Mistakes to Avoid)
Keen to turn your lawn into a vegetable garden? I've transformed 700 square meters of lawn into thriving vegetable gardens on a budget - but the process has been far from easy.

I’ll also give my 4 essential tips and mistakes to avoid to save you a lot of frustration if you're embarking on your own journey to grow food, not lawns.
