So admire you Huw and all your hard work and willingness to share your gardening gifts of knowledge and practice.. Im a 70yr old veggie baby gardener/learner. Love permeculture philosphy so here goes. Bye, bye You Tube. I already knew substack.
Hi Huw! Happy to see you on Substack. I love the pace and vibes here. I am curious though, when you say you will be relaunching your YouTube, what does that mean for the content you already have there? I often will go back and watch though your backlog of videos and reference them. My top favorite of yours is “The Simple 1% Rule.” Every time I am feeling discouraged and overwhelmed in my garden I reference it for a spot of encouragement. Thanks for putting out great content! 🙌🏻
Hi Amy, nothing will be happening to my back catalogue, it will very much remain! I am just going to be shifting to a new style :) I am so glad you enjoy that video, really appreciate the feedback! Best wishes
I’ve been following you on YouTube for a long time and now I’m following you to here- never knew about this space before! Love your approach and voice (written and spoken), so I’m glad to find you wherever you are Huw. Thanks!
I’m absolutely feeling all of this, (so I’ve just subscribed to you!). I refuse to play the click bait YouTube game, happy to just let my tutorials live there for years and provide a link when appropriate. I like how Substack feels different - and I’m really hoping it stays this way for a good, long while.
We have had a big following on instagram for years and really felt like we'd built up a community of gardeners who loved what we were doing and shared amongst themselves and with us in DMs and comment sections etc. Over time they saw less and less of us, not because we weren't there but because of the algorithm and they would have to go looking. I had the same experience with the people we followed. Everyone is too busy to have to go searching for what you expect to just appear in your feed. Substack has felt like a return to the old days of insta and we have been writing long and short form here since we discovered it and the community has been growing again, some coming over from instaland and it has felt positive and enjoyable to be here. We have literally just started creating story form/narrative videos using our backgrounds in this area to tell our organic garden story, as well as the written word. We still pop up on insta now and then but mainly to let people know what we are doing here. I am grateful to have substack as an option and that it has become a platform for video content too. Love your work!🌱
Happy to follow you Huw on whatever platform you choose.
Thank you Adam!

Thats so lovely of you to share Janet, thank you very much! You are in for a treat if you love permaculture philosophy - plenty of that en route!
Fantastic to see you on what is now my favourite online space!
It seems like it is the place to be from what I gather! Thank you so much!
Welcome, Huw! Interesting to hear that's also happening with YT. I think many people left Instagram for similar reasons. It's really nice here ☺️
Ahh thanks Leyla, so great to see you are also here, and that you are enjoying it :D
This is also a great opportunity to support you directly financially, besides buying your excellent books. Looking forward to your new endeavors!
That is very kind thank you Joseph!
