My gravel garden experiment at Northwind began in November of 2020 (not 2019 as I incorrectly stated in the video) and given its success I decided to expand it to an adjacent problem area at the farm. We brought in 21 tons of road gravel and sowed about 10 plants that will hopefully thrive as they have in the original test garden.
