Would you like to grow your own produce but don’t know how to go about it?
Would you like to keep chickens, etc, but don’t know where to start?
Would you like to do it organically?
In these trying times, more and more families are returning to the ‘old’ traditional ways that our grandparents used to grow their own food. Many are now finding out that it can save a small fortune every week on your supermarket grocery bill. Not only that, there are further advantages of ‘growing your own’.
It tastes better. It is better for you, and you get a tremendous amount of satisfaction!
So why not see whether you could grow your own herbs, fruit and vegetables – no matter what space you have available? Whilst you perhaps can’t keep chickens on an apartment balcony, you need very little space to be able to harvest your own tomatoes, beans, peas, etc.
One of the key essentials to good crops is the soil that you grow them in and from time to time the soil would benefit from compost. Have a look at the video on how to make compost – simply.
