I show some of kale's wonderful possibilities, grown in no dig, surface-composted soil. Many varieties together give colourful harvests for much of the year.
Kale can be perennial too. See my No Dig book for growing details https://shop.charlesdowding.co.uk/products/no-dig-nurture-your-soil-to-grow-better-veg-with-less-effort
