There’s nothing quite as gratifying as growing your own food. Working with the seasons and tending to your garden everyday is a hugely rewarding way of living closer to nature. Putting water to root and fingers to soil connects you in the most fundamental way. Then there’s that proud sense of achievement when harvesting your food. From seed to your plate, the best food you’ve ever eaten will be the food that you have grown yourself.
More of us are growing our own way
It’s no wonder there’s been a huge surge of interest in home-grown-food lately. Supermarket food prices keep going up while the majority of us are already feeling the pinch. Saving money on food has become an urgent necessity for many of us (between April 1st 2013 and March 31st this year, 913,138 people across the UK had to turn to food banks). Then there’s the sheer lack of trust in supermarkets to provide us with healthy fruit and vegetables that haven’t been smothered in pesticides – especially with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership looming (watch the eye-opening video below if you want to learn more about the TTIP).
