I’m sadly going to have to keep this post brief as well as I
have a deadline this week which is taking up all of my time.
I have already touched on the environmental costs it takes
to be able to put food on the table, with transport and land clearance etc. I
thought it might be a good time to remind everyone that you can always grow
your own. The average family only needs half an acre of fertile land to be
self-sufficient if they do it properly. However that also requires a lot of
time and effort which the majority of people don’t have freely available, so there
are a few ideas of plants which are tough, easy to grow and taste great.

Another easy type of plant to grow would be either runner
beans or broad beans; these can even be grown in compost bags. All you
have to
do is lay the bag on its side then cut a few holes in it and place some form of
structure there which the plant stem can grow up. Again these are hardy plants
that don’t necessarily need watering every day and a couple of times a week
would be suitable. 
Growing your own veg is a fun and an activity you can
sharing with your children for instance, and you gain a real sense of
achievement when you sit down to a meal eating something you’ve grown in your
own back garden or window ledge, and anything you grow will not have create any
pollutants to get to your table.
Hope you have a good time growing.
