Watched the first one, will watch the second tomorrow.  A great program and quite a unique modern insight.

Thanks for the link, finally watched the first programme and loved it. 

If you have free-draining soil, you can just cover carrots with black plastic in autumn, then a layer of straw and harvest any time during winter  :icon_cheers: 

And grow-lights in different colours affect growth differently?  And nutrient content of veg.  I have always wondered at the red Wall-o-water cloches you see advertised to US gardeners.  But if red promotes strong foliage growth, then that makes perfect sense.  Fascinating stuff! 

Glad I watched it.
