Paying that little bit extra for organic products in the supermarket? Why not make like the coolest eco folk and grow your own vegetables. |
 |
An escalating trend in homegrown veg has been picked up on by the Royal Horticultural Society, the RHS says that most gardens are generally too small to grow everything that a household requires, and that it makes sense to grow simply your favourite vegetables rather than a mass stock. |
 |
For example, they suggest that potatoes, onions and carrots are best left to the supermarkets because of reasonable economy and the extra room they need to grow, and instead recommend home grown spring onions and baby carrots with their tops on for delicious flavour and freshness. |
|
And for those who can only bring a small amount of the country into their city lifestyle, the website also provides some easy to follow tips on how to grow your favourite greens in containers, without the need for any garden space. |
