Is it time to re-learn!
People have always gardened. For hundreds of years farm life was the backbone of the western world; the family meal was right there in the back yard.
Slowly, however people moved into cities and urbanized life where packaged produce became a way of life for most people.
It took a national emergency of the two world wars to bring people back to the earth; so called “Victory Gardens” shot up all over the nations. After these wars, people settled back into ‘buying food from the shops’.
However, another national emergency event came along in the form of energy crisis of the 1970s, once again this made people rethink their priorities. The need for self-sufficiency once again become apparent.
Now we have the “economic cities” which has focused our minds on growing our own food.
To grow our own we must re-learn the lessons of nature to make a healthy soil in which to grow our vegetables.
