We took a trip to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's @rivercottagehq in South Devon. They have been using the mulch on their market gardens.
I've grown up watching Huw on the telly and reading his books, so River Cottage felt strangely familiar. It was great being there in person to see the produce, the majority of which - even in winter is picked daily for their cafe and dining events. After taking in the incredible views of Axe Vally, we warmed up with their celeriac and garlic soup…amazing flavours!
We will visit again in Spring / Summer to see the grounds in full bloom. The gardeners and staff are so welcoming and friendly, loved our visit and tour, very inspiring. River Cottage have been using the EcoMulch, a fully biodegradable paper mulch to aid with the growth of their delicious organic vegetables. Big thanks to Jonny the head gardener for being so lovely and giving us the tour.
