Why
growing your own is better
People have realised for some time
that it's not good for the planet to knock down forests and farm
hundreds of miles of genetically altered grains and cereals in an
attempt to feed the world. Pests that breed out of control on monocultures
like wheatfields and cornfields are sprayed with pesticides and
their residues escape into the soil and water as well as into our
food. People are beginning to realise the advantages of biodiversity
and the ease of growing a bit of fruit and veg at home, even in
city office blocks. People who have never gardened before can enjoy
the discovery of watering and watching food grow without the use
of pesticides. They can control what goes into their garden, and
enjoy the intense flavours and concentrated nutrient content of
fresh picked fruit, vegetables and mushrooms. A small garden box
can grow enough food to pick from every day and a diversely planted
selection of herbs, vegetables and fruits help each other combat
pests, share soil nutrients and deliver health and vigour to their
owners. You can buy our planters and full instructions to start
a self-supporting garden, or if you live in London, you can buy
a fully planted system with simple instructions, information about
your plants, and delicious or unusual recipes for the fresh food
from your garden. Try chocolate mint tea, beetroot ice cream, thai
salad using your own lemongrass and mushrooms, or gourmet sandwich
combos - there are recipes for people who have never cooked before
and recipes for gourmet chefs. We deliver free across London. Worldwide,
you'll get a fiver discount off your garden box if you're giving
it as a gift. You might know of someone whose life would brighten
just a little more if they had one. The fiver comes out of our wages,
but we're happy about that. It's good for our business, and it's
good to think of each other and our planet while we get on with
making a living. None of us can change the whole world instantly,
but we can make little bits of it better, piece by piece!
