The Three Veg Challenge.
I would love for everyone that possibly could to grow at least three different types of vegetables. It certainly couldn't hurt could it? With record numbers of people being forced to use food banks and ongoing uncertainty over Brexit it makes sense. So what’s stopping us? Time and the ease of going to the supermarkets I guess. But sowing a few seeds or planting a few cabbage plants really does not take up that much time. And they will taste so much better. Even if you have no soil you can use my very favourite method of strawbale gardening, which means you do not need soil, ever. I think councils could take a lead in this by turning some waste ground into community vegetable plots. Just look what they have achieved in Todmorden. A shining example of a community coming together. If maybe a few residents in one street or small area all grew veg then they could swap produce, thus getting a bigger selection. Children would love it. It would get them away from the computer and they would be learning a valuable life lesson.
Please share this to anyone who you think might benefit from having a grow.
Thanks Simon
