As part of his journey to establish the farm, Marcus has also faced setbacks. Not everything in the kitchen garden has done well, and he needs to learn from experience.

The hedgerow around the farm needs to be cut back and managed, so Marcus seeks advice from Paul Matthews, an expert in the ancient art of hedge laying. He鈥檚 shown how to make stakes, cut hazel bushes and bind them into fencing.

Back at the smallholding, Marcus pickles some of his excess crop of carrots using herbs from the kitchen garden. With an abundance of produce, Marcus takes some of it to a nearby food bank that serves the local community. Later, he joins in a local ploughing match and creates a delicious dessert of bay leaf-flavoured ice-cream, thyme crumble and rosemary nectarines.
