Advantages: freshness less food miles

Disadvantages: you got to plan ahead with sowing/planting

With the credit crunch now having a great effect on peoples lives.. with the ever increasing prices of fuel, heating and food, people are now trying to re-evaluate where they can save some money to try and stop the ever increasing cost of living.

In recent months there has been a great increase in people starting to look at the way our grandparents used to live, and especially when things were tight during world war II, where they had the motto dig for victory.

People are now starting to realise that by growing more fruit and vegetables in the garden, this really can save the pennies.
Your dont have to have a huge garden to grow some lovely fresh vegetables, you can grow loads of diff veg in containers and growbags, or even on your windowsills

Not only can you save some money by growing fruit and veg, the taste is so different to what you buy in the shops with the freshness.
We have started growing tomatoes, chillis, potatoes, turnips and a lot of different salad items.

The upside of growing your own regardless of how much or how little room you have, you will save money, you cant beat the taste and the freshness plus look at the airmiles you are saving, even with just a few plants that you are growing.

If we all grew just a few things, which we would use for a few meals, look at what we would save on the carbon footprint on the transport. Plus you would know exactly how your fruit and veg was grown ..with no pesticides .

I would totally recommend people should grow some of their own veg.... and taste the difference..and pocket those pennies

Summary: get growing, you know you want to
