Producing Vegetables and Fruit from Small Gardens
We all want to grow the freshest, healthiest and juiciest vegetables and fruit but the cost of setting up and growing can be off putting. This workshop will take you through all the simple tricks to save costs beginning with planters and gardens to what is the most cost effective soil to use and on to how to collect your own seed and propagate your own plants. Cost is not a barrier to producing great vegetables and fruit from your own garden.
