So here I go, apologising from the start. Friends, garden lovers. I mean no disrespect. OK. I'm an oldie. I have worked my way up through the horticultural world. Times past. The average person had the back yard or garden. They toiled it and did their bit to, Grow for Britain and all of that. We dug the ground, perhaps digging ing some kitchen waste etc. Some of us may have had allotments. Here so much more could be grown. There was none of this. Constructing of timber framed planting areas. Such were not heard of. So what's gone wrong?
So what's wrong with cultivatin the natural ground, compared to spending out on timber and importing foreign soils etc. For instance. Charlie Brown constructs an oversize seed tray. He plants , say 2-3doz cabbage plants. After the birds have taken their amount. Then considering pest control. At the end of the day. I wonder. Just how much that savoy cabbage for Sundays dinner really cost. Tesco are charging 70p.
