Welcome to the start of the rest of your life!
The quest for self-sufficiency is becoming ever more important with the price increases and damage to our environment prompting investigation into where our food comes from. The concept of food miles is the popular buzz word of today. Why should we be eating food that has come from miles away overseas that is costing our planet its non-renewable resources when we could simply grow our own and reduce food miles to zero. Modern inventions and research means there are more and more ways to garden easily even if you are short on time or space or money.
Are you sick of paying for overpriced and limp vegetables? Bored with the small selection of vegetable varieties available in the shops?
Concerned about your environment?
This website will help you to produce your own food of the best quality in whatever space you have available. Various Vegetables are discussed in this area giving you information about planting, tending, harvesting and storing.
Particular emphasis is placed on the concept of square foot gardening - adapted to square meter gardening by some - as this holds the answer to many of the problems of vegetable gardening in modern society.
