There is nothing quite like the taste of a tomato or a crisp lettuce leaf that you have nurtured from a tiny seed in your own backyard. But if you're tired of battling pests with harsh chemicals or your veggie patch just isn't delivering the bumper harvest you were dreaming of, it’s time to get back to basics.

Dave Cochrane is joined by our resident green thumb, Gav from Lee Rowan’s Gardenworld, for another session of Gardening with Gav on Hunter Today. This week, we’re digging deep into the art of organic vegetable growing. Gav shares his expert advice on building nutrient-rich soil without synthetic fertilizers, his favorite "secret weapon" companion plants to naturally ward off pests, and the essential steps to setting up a healthy, chemical-free patch that will keep the whole family fed all season long.

Whether you've got a massive country plot or just a few pots on a balcony, hit play to learn how to grow your own food the way nature intended.
