Grow your Own from The Gardeners Guide
Never mind what the newspapers and television are telling us, we only have to go out and do a weekly shop to know just how much food prices are soaring. And in an era of cost-cutting, eco-awareness and food-saving, it makes sense to consider growing some of your own food.
While sales of pretty plants and flowers fall, people are snapping up seeds to grow edible plants and herbs, say the Horticultural Trades Association. The increasing cost of living has prompted one in three us have become more self-sufficient by growing fruit and vegetables, according to a study by Miracle-Gro Organic Choice. And of those who are not growing their own food, two thirds plan to do so within two years instead of buying fruit and vegetables from supermarkets.
At The Gardeners Guide we have everything for grow your own, from Greenhouses for those tomatoes and cucumbers, raised beds for vegetables to chicken coops for raising chickens for your own free range eggs.
