What could be better for your health and your bank-balance than having your own, fresh home-grown vegetables? Let me share something with you.
We have a renaissance going on here in New Zealand - Kiwis are getting back to basics to grow their own vegetables and reduce their living costs.
Where I live, this renaissance is being driven by gardening guru and Northtec horticulture tutor Grant Steven. Grant has introduced his raised-bed garden concept to schools, communities and marae – not just as a theory but by conducting over 20 workshops that show people how to develop raised beds by rolling up sleeves and actually doing it.
His focus is:
- Enjoying an all-year-round supply of super-fresh, highly nutritious food;
- Improving health;
- Saving money;
- Growing organically and tasking back control over what is in the food you eat;
- Making land more productive and attractive;
- Creating permanent mulch, no dig, no weeding gardens.
Now doesn’t that sound attractive?
